| Mead | I run Lubuntu off a SD as my only linux machine in the house. It didn't come back after a restart. How do I determine if the SD card is physically borked or if the data is stores just got borked? | 14:52 |
|---|---|---|
| lubot | <teward001> no error messages on bootup? | 15:27 |
| teward | Mead: no errors on startup? | 15:31 |

| lubot | <JyotiGomes> Hi, in my school I was given the task of installing Linux on about 15 i3 computers with 4 GB of RAM. This system installation should be maintained over the years, with updates and upgrades with no more fresh installations beyond this first. Do you advise me to install Ubuntu or Lubuntu? | 16:47 |
| diogenes_ | JyotiGomes, it depends on the purpose and the specs of the computers | 16:50 |
| diogenes_ | there were rumors that ubuntu is going to be supported for 10 years | 16:50 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> @diogenes_ [<diogenes_> JyotiGomes, it depends on the purpose and the specs of the computers], The room would be used by high school students and adult students, trainees of a training center. | 16:53 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> One of my doubts is if with these characteristics (processor i3 and 4 gb of ram) the computers would work well with Ubuntu | 16:55 |
| acheronuk | Lubununtu 18.04 is supported until April 2021. Ubuntu 18.04 until 2023 | 16:55 |
| lubot | <teward001> @JyotiGomes they'd play well with Lubuntu probably. | 16:56 |
| lubot | <teward001> diogenes_: that rumor is IIRC meaning with ESR coverage from Ubuntu Advantage, not straight up. | 16:56 |
| acheronuk | Yes, the 10 years until 2028 is ESM: https://i.imgur.com/Od68wTd.png | 16:58 |
| acheronuk | and as yet, the packages supported has not been confirmed | 16:59 |
| acheronuk | most likely it will just be server/cloud things | 16:59 |
| teward | and/or Main stuff | 16:59 |
| teward | (possibly desktop Main stuff for Ubuntu base via security updates but) | 16:59 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> And as I personally like Lubuntu more, the temptation to install Lubuntu is great. But I have to think not so much in my personal preferences but in the general interest and the ease of other people who know linux even less than I, even if I quit school next year, have to do the updates and upgrades, the ease of working out-of-the- | 16:59 |
| lubot | box, installing drivers, etc. | 16:59 |
| acheronuk | desktop support is not very likely | 16:59 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> I would like to install an LTS, but as far as Lubuntu is concerned I would like to install Lubuntu LXQt, which makes the decision complex :-) | 17:02 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> It is not every day that we have the possibility to install Linux on 15 or more computers at once ... 😊 | 17:08 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> Do you think that the computers with these characteristics (processor i3 and 4 gb of ram) would work well with Ubuntu? I do not know which graphics card the computer have. | 17:11 |
| lubot | <teward001> with *Ubuntu*? Not if you intend 18.04+ | 17:12 |
| lubot | <teward001> Lubuntu, it'd work fine. but not pure Ubuntu | 17:12 |
| lubot | <teward001> *might* work with MATE, but that's going offtopic for this space :P | 17:12 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> @teward001 [Lubuntu, it'd work fine. but not pure Ubuntu], Why not the pure Ubuntu? | 17:14 |
| lubot | <teward001> 'cause GNOME is evil | 17:21 |
| lubot | <teward001> and has a lot more heavy reqs than Unity | 17:21 |
| lubot | <teward001> Unity and LIghtDM* | 17:21 |
| lubot | <teward001> we have a number of systems with i3s and 4GB RAM here with meh graphics cards, Ubuntu 18.04 lags on them | 17:21 |
| lubot | <teward001> so we threw Lubuntu 18.04 on them, with intention to upgrade to 20.04 in a year or so :P | 17:21 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> @teward001 [so we threw Lubuntu 18.04 on them, with intention to upgrade to 20.04 in a year …], I would prefer install Lubuntu 18.10 😊 | 17:29 |
| lubot | <teward001> i mean you COULD | 17:29 |
| lubot | <teward001> you'll just have to upgrade in 6 months :P | 17:30 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> No proble, if it will be possible to upgrade Lubuntu without fresh installs | 17:42 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> Hi! how can i change, on Lubuntu 18.10, the user password or even change the login session to start without password? | 21:26 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> I't not documented in the manual? | 21:30 |
| wxl | it's lxqt-admin-user as seen https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-admin for changing passwords | 21:31 |
| wxl | for starting without a password, you have to tweak sddm which does not have a gui (yet) | 21:33 |
| wxl | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SDDM#Autologin | 21:34 |
| lubot | <JyotiGomes> @wxl [<wxl> for starting without a password, you have to tweak sddm which does not hav …], Thanks | 21:40 |
