[20:06] Hey [20:06] Are there any Builds I could test [20:07] That would be Fun! [20:07] Or am I in the wrong chat room. [20:08] Oh also, Could I be added to the testers Ubuntu factoid please? [20:14] Hey there :) [20:14] If you go to iso.qa.ubuntu.com, you can test out the daily Lubuntu builds for Artful. [20:14] That's always helpful :) [20:15] Thanks! [20:15] Np. Thank YOU! :) [20:16] Oh [20:17] Also do you have any idea were I could find Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Releases [20:17] Development Releases [20:18] There's no 18.04 LTS development release yet. [20:18] Only 17.10. [20:21] Ok [20:22] And Can I test the Builds in a VM? [20:22] Yes you can :) [20:23] Good! [20:23] Are you an Kubuntu Dev? [20:24] I'm actually the Lubuntu Release Manager and at one point I did some development work for Kubuntu. [20:24] So what do you do [20:25] It sounds like a Cool job [20:25] I release Lubuntu, basically :P [20:25] Could I name the Next Realease? [20:25] Or is that Ubuntu's Work [20:25] I help coordinate testing, make sure everything works, work with the Ubuntu archive team, etc. [20:26] Cool! [20:26] That's Mark Shuttleworth's job :P [20:26] Yeah [20:26] Your lucky you know how to code [20:26] that [20:26] Well it's not all coding. The development team does a lot of work too. [20:26] Hmm... [20:26] But how do you learn [20:27] Do you just experiment? [20:27] Yep yep :D [20:27] Ok [20:27] I looked inside an Old Ubuntu Reallease [20:27] Its 10 [20:27] Its Just to Complicated [20:27] One doesn't learn to code, one codes to learn ;) [20:28] I use Scratch [20:28] But that's not Coding [20:28] It's Blockly [20:29] Yeah :P [20:29] How do I make a Ubuntu Distro [20:29] What do you mean by that? Ubuntu based? [20:30] yes [20:30] I thought About it today [20:30] I just don't really know how to code [20:30] But I have a Raspberry Pi [20:30] What's your goal and what's your reason for not contributing those things to Ubuntu? [20:30] well [20:31] It was Kinda complicated to get here [20:31] What do you mean by that? [20:31] It's just so much Hasle [20:32] To do what specifically? [20:32] Like go to page to page [20:32] Clutter On my Desktoo [20:32] Desktop [20:32] I run Windows 10 Pro [20:33] So then why don't you remove what you don't need? It's open source, after all... :P [20:33] I'm just am So Obsessed with Ubuntu [20:33] Windows 10? [20:34] No, Ubuntu [20:34] Like I don't need windows 10? [20:34] Thats what I mean [20:35] You don't need Windows 10, really. [20:35] It is just so hard to use [20:35] I can't even Install An Application without going to the Terminal [20:35] Unless you do heavy gaming and/or really application-focused work for your job or something... [20:35] Well [20:35] I'm Just so Into Electronics [20:36] I feel like no one else is into it [20:36] but me [20:36] Once you get the hang of it, it's really really simple. If you like Ubuntu and computers enough, and you have the willpower to do it, it's easy :) [20:36] Ok [20:36] Well that's not true. Maybe not locally, but in the world there are people who like what you like :) [20:36] I have an iMac from 2007 [20:36] Yeah, Its Local [20:37] Its not so " Tech Cravey" Here [20:37] And you're certainly not alone on that. [20:38] Well you know Im 11. [20:39] Right? [20:39] But it's a bit of a learning curve to get on Linux... But once you're hooked, it's easy. :) [20:39] Ok [20:39] And I'm 15, my friend. I installed Ubuntu when I was 12 and I joined the community when I was 13. [20:39] Sooo you're not alone :D [20:39] Cool [20:39] I thought you were 20 [20:40] Lol [20:40] Wow [20:40] Noooo :P [20:40] :) [20:40] Uh [20:40] Where are you located? [20:41] My Town [20:41] ? [20:41] So... [20:42] What Distribution of Ubuntu should I try on my iMac 2007? [20:42] It's OK if you don't want to say. I remember at school they say "don't share anything with anyone or they will hunt you down and kill you" so I totally understand if you believe that, I was just wondering where you were. :) [20:42] Ok [20:42] (not the reality, by the way :P) [20:42] I would try Lubuntu. [20:42] Let's just say People Are Country [20:43] I'm not Though [20:43] In the city not really [20:43] Are you in the US, and if so, what state? [20:43] ... [20:43] Are you? [20:43] That's not personally identifiable information, fwiw :P [20:43] I'm in Green Bay, WI [20:44] Ok [20:44] What Distribution of Ubuntu should I try on my iMac 2007? [20:44] I'd try Lubuntu. [20:44] Ok [20:44] It has 2gb of ram [20:44] and a 1TB Hard Drive [20:44] a Intel core 2 duo [20:45] And thats it [20:45] But [20:45] It won't let me boot up from a USB [20:45] Try downloading the i386 image from cdimage.ubuntu.com [20:45] Even the One Ubuntu Recommends wont work [20:45] I did [20:45] Wait [20:45] Do you have access to CDs or DVDs? [20:45] Well [20:46] My laptop's DVD Drive doesn't work anymore [20:46] And I don [20:46] t [20:46] Want to get on my iMac [20:46] And Get On OSX 10.5 [20:46] And Do it [20:47] Why don't you fix it or ask your parents to help you find a replacement? :) [20:47] No [20:47] It costs like 200 to get the screen Fixed [20:48] Hey [20:48] Ah OK [20:48] The Test version of Kubuntu Looks different [20:48] I see no problems so far [20:48] BUG [20:48] Kubuntu is a great operating system :) [20:48] The Firefox jumpy thing pop's up at the Start [20:49] Yeah [20:49] Not a BUG [20:50] Well [20:50] What program should I use to put it on a usb? [20:50] dd or ddrescue [20:50] Ok [20:50] Oh that's right [20:51] Remember It's my iMac [20:51] You're on Windows 10? [20:51] Yes [20:51] But do you think Kubuntu would be good for my iMac? [20:51] And What Version? [20:52] I think Lubuntu would be better but Kubuntu works too, I think. [20:52] I'd highly suggest 17.04. [20:52] Ok [20:52] thats not an LTS Realease Though. [20:52] Also my iMac is 64 bit [20:52] Aluminum One [20:52] Ah ok [20:53] Well for Kubuntu, the version of KDE Plasma that ships with it is a bit buggy... [20:53] Ok [20:53] So [20:53] Then [20:53] Which One? [20:53] I mean for 16.04 [20:53] In 17.04 it's fine [20:53] Ok [20:53] So [20:54] I should try Kubuntu 17.04 [20:54] for My iMac 2007 [20:55] Sure :) [20:55] Ok [20:56] But what Program should I use? [20:56] Unetbootin is probably best. [20:56] But that didn't work [20:57] What didn't work? [20:57] Unetbootin [20:57] I choose Try [20:57] But then it shows a Black screen [20:58] Got a screenshot? [20:58] Uh [20:58] No [20:58] Its just a Black Screen [20:58] And its on a 16GB Lego USB [20:59] Black screen on where? [20:59] The laptop? [20:59] my iMac [20:59] No [21:00] It work's on my Laptop [21:00] Well [21:00] Another Linux Distribution [21:01] Ah ok [21:01] The computer was booted up when it had the black screen? [21:01] yeah [21:02] it's the grub [21:02] I think [21:02] But what software should I use? [21:03] OK let's back up a bit [21:03] and should I use the 32 Bit Build [21:03] When you had the black screen [21:03] Yeah [21:03] Well that would be something to try, for sure. [21:03] Ok [21:03] I downloaded it [21:03] OK 👍 [21:03] I have so many Downloads on here [21:04] Whats that? [21:04] oh [21:04] a tally List emoji [21:04] Ok [21:04] No it's a thumbs up :P [21:04] Oh [21:05] It's not like that to me [21:05] It looks like a Tally list [21:05] not an Emoji [21:05] That's weird [21:05] So lets continue [21:06] I used Rufus, Etcher, and Unetbootin [21:06] But they all didn't Work [21:06] I think [21:06] Yeah [21:08] Are you there? [21:08] Hey [21:08] Sorry [21:08] My phone died [21:08] That's alright [21:08] Ok [21:09] Should I use Ubuntu? [21:09] I unfortunately need to go now... [21:09] Ok, Bye! [21:09] One thing about being 15 is parents still making you do things :/ [21:10] Ok [21:10] When will you be back? [21:10] Well, I would email the lubuntu-users or kubuntu-users list and get some more help [21:10] In a couple hours [21:10] Sorry :/ [21:10] Oh [21:10] Thats Alright [21:12] Bye [21:36] (Photo, 720x1280) http://i.imgur.com/XIwuWio.jpg [21:36] Argh
