| lukaso666 | hi! I have Xubuntu 16.4... official GUI update-manager (with upgradable LTS releases enabled in settings) doesn't show me any upgrade to 17.04 LTS or 18.04 LTS (and i saw these releases on xubuntu website).. should I upgrade the system on my own, by terminal? | 10:40 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | 17.04 is not an LTS, and the LTS will be offered at the first point release, which is in July. | 10:41 |
| lukaso666 | Unit193: f***k, yeah! I forgot about that! sorry! | 10:41 |
| lukaso666 | but anyway, can I upgrade it by changing the repo list and release upgrade in console? | 10:42 |
| knome | lukaso666, please remember this is a family-friendly channel... | 10:42 |
| knome | "any-to-any" upgrade paths should work now, so you should be able to upgrade to 18.04 from 17.04 as well. | 10:43 |
| lukaso666 | or better stay with 16.04 ant to wait for official LTS? I mean a stable working distro... | 10:43 |
| lukaso666 | knome: sorry! | 10:43 |
| knome | oh wait, i misread | 10:43 |
| knome | 16.04->18.04 is definitely a supported upgrade path, it will be proposed to you when the point release is out | 10:44 |
| lukaso666 | I see | 10:44 |
| knome | that is, what Unit193 just said | 10:44 |
| knome | scheduled for july 26th | 10:44 |
| lukaso666 | thanks, guys! | 10:45 |
| knome | you *can* upgrade earlier but for stability reasons the upgrade isn't advertised for 16.04 users yet | 10:45 |
| lukaso666 | knome: that's why I asked.. I have Dabian sid too and I want Xubuntu as stable as possible alternative | 10:46 |
| lukaso666 | so I'll wait until July 26th | 10:46 |
| knome | yup, it's not that far away anyway... | 10:48 |
| lukaso666 | exactly | 10:48 |

| _thelion_ | Hi there. In thunar: clicking on "open a terminal here" opens the terminal always in the home folder. | 19:22 |
| _thelion_ | the setting in thunar is: exo-open --working-directory %f --launch TerminalEmulator | 19:22 |

| dunpeal | Hi. Is there a way to run the Xubuntu installer such that it won't create any user other than root initially? | 22:18 |
| dunpeal | Right now, it seems to force me to create a non-root user that don't want. | 22:19 |
| knome | dunpeal, no, for many reasons, mostly because using the root account isn't recommended on (x)ubuntu | 22:19 |
| dunpeal | knome: I know, it's not because I want to just use root as a regular user (ugh), but because I need more control over how my non-root main user gets created. | 22:20 |
| Javabean | s/(x)ubuntu/linux also aplicable to windows/mac/everybody | 22:20 |
| knome | dunpeal, hmm, like what control? | 22:20 |
| dunpeal | For example, I need to set a specific UID for it. | 22:20 |
| knome | sounds like a very rare situation | 22:22 |
| knome | may i ask what for? | 22:22 |
| knome | or in other words: are you trying to solve another problem with this solution? | 22:22 |
| dunpeal | knome: I need to match permissions on mounted network drives, and having the right UID there from the get-go is less hairy than doing remaps etc. | 22:23 |
| knome | right, but the network drive tools have the remapping features | 22:24 |
| knome | is there something else you'd like more control on? | 22:25 |
| knome | i mean i don't think it's very likely that the installer started allowing you to do fancy UID tricks ;) | 22:27 |
| dunpeal | knome: yeah, but it would be nice if it did. | 22:29 |
| knome | sounds like it would suit some other OS more - or potentially some text-mode installer or sth | 22:30 |
| knome | anyway, time to go to bed | 22:31 |
| knome | nighty! | 22:32 |
| dunpeal | Thanks. | 22:32 |
