[16:11] <aellisif> hi, my newly installed Lubuntu on an old HP compaq keeps flickering like anything whenever I turn the thing on. funnily enough there's no problem when I live-boot it. any ideas what could be the issue?
[19:34] <Bastien__> Hello
[19:35] <Bastien__> Is Lubuntu 14.04 still supported?
[19:37] <wxl> you should find this on the release notes, Bastien__
[19:40] <wxl> Bastien__: those are here btw https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu
[19:41] <wxl> Bastien__: support is 3 years from original time of release, i.e. 2014+3=2017, which is to say that it's technically expired from Lubuntu's point of view. On the other hand, the core components that comprise Ubuntu are still supported:

[19:42] <wxl> ugh sorry, i thought that included the support period
[19:42] <wxl> 5 years for Ubuntu (2014+5=2019)
[19:42] <wxl> Bastien__: that said, yes and no. what's your concern in particular?
[19:43] <Bastien__> I know is 3 years but someone who uses Lubuntu 14.04 still receives updates.
[19:47] <wxl> Bastien__: until Ubuntu stops supporting it, updates will continue.
[19:49] <Bastien__> Ok thanks
