[08:11] <gms> hm, is there a reason why https://lubuntu.net/downloads/ points to the 18.04 images and not to the 18.04.1 ones?
[08:12] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> @gms, Because we don't control that site.
[08:12] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> We control Lubuntu.me.
[08:13] <gms> oh
[08:13] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> Yup.
[08:16] <gms> whois output looks like lubuntu.me is registered by canonical - but who is controlling lubuntu.net?
[08:17] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> FOSSASIA
[08:17] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> They refuse to publish up-to-date content and refuse to work with us.
[08:18] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> Let's not talk more about this; it's been ongoing for several years and there's nothing new or nothing anyone can do about it yet
[08:18] <gms> I googled for lubuntu and lubuntu.net was the first hit for me
[08:18] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> And we can't control that, unfortunately.
[08:25] <gms> well, you could put some official statement on your lubuntu.me page - e.g. like a tag-line 'the official lubuntu home' and some longer explaining text in an easy to find FAQ entry or something like that - looking through google result this confusion seems to come up often - and if you realize that there are 2 download sites you easily get paranoid regarding the trustworthiness of the downloaded isos
[08:29] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> Yeah
[08:29] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> I can't tell you exactly why we can't do that yet, but an answer is coming.
[08:30] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> Believe me, as the main developer of Lubuntu, I want to see it solved, but we're working on it.
[08:30] <gms> ok
[08:30] <lubot5> <tsimonq2> For now, push Lubuntu.me as hard as you can, everywhere :)

[18:20] <Ascavasaion> I did a dist upgrade from 16.01.1 to 18.04.1 and the GUI does not start.  It stgarts, gives Grub menu... shows the booting progress... and then freezes.  I am guessing that it is a graphics driver issue?  the only way I get it to bot is by adding /nomodeset in grub boot options, but that is not a fix, and it does not allow me to do extended desktops as I did before the upgrade.  Any ideas please.
[18:23] <Ascavasaion> Could this be the problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1752938

[18:24] <krytarik> Ascavasaion: Please focus on one support channel at a time.
[18:24] <Ascavasaion> krytarik: Okay
[18:53] <Ascavasaion> now it does not work at all.  I can into IRC now with my phone
[18:54] <Ascavasaion> can=came
[18:56] <krytarik> After doing what you were suggested in #ubuntu?  Just undo it then?
[18:56] <Ascavasaion> even the original /nomodeset does not work. gets to the screen where the lubuntu icon is on the screen with the alternating dots to show progress.  it does not change... mouse pointer appeared but does not move either.
[18:59] <Ascavasaion> booting into recovery console to do that right now
[19:03] <Ascavasaion> it will not let me save the file
[19:03] <Ascavasaion> tells me that it can't open file for writing... in vi
[19:05] <Ascavasaion> I edited file from root console with vi. deleted that line... but when I got ESC to do the wq save it refused
[19:07] <krytarik> Ascavasaion: See https://askubuntu.com/questions/117950/how-do-i-change-file-system-in-recovery-mode-to-read-write-mode
[19:19] <Ascavasaion> Thank you krytarik ... it worked
[19:19] <Ascavasaion> Getting the fileststem mounted as read/write I mean
[19:20] <Ascavasaion> Still no wiser re the issue causing the system to hang on boot.
