| xubuntu30w | hi | 04:18 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu30w | using 18.04 here and was wondering if there is any way to remove the desktop grid that prevent me from placing the icons anywhere I want. | 04:20 |
| appa | is there a reason I wouldn't be able to upgrade 12.04 to 14.04 (and eventually up to 18.04?) | 04:28 |
| appa | trying to salvage this efika | 04:28 |

| guiverc | appa, Xubuntu 12.04 LTS had 3 (flavor, 5 years is main Ubuntu) years of supported life; it's release-upgrade tools ceased working shortly after EOL due to location of repos changing b/c of EOL status - you can re-install using something-else (no format) which is what I'd likely do, otherwise release-upgrade during supported life. | 05:14 |
| Unit193 | !eolupgrades | 05:14 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 05:14 |
| appa | thanks I've got the EoL updates for precise, but the do-release-upgrade doesn't use EoL for Trusty (14.04) | 05:21 |
| appa | EOL Upgrades seems to be about software upgrades not Ubuntu upgrades, or am I misinterpreting? | 05:24 |
| appa | https://superuser.com/questions/1287000/do-release-upgrade-not-using-old-releases-when-upgrading-from-ubuntu-10-04-to-12 | 05:27 |
| appa | I'm trying to spoof the /etc/hosts to use old-release instead of archive.ubuntu | 05:27 |
| guiverc | 14.04 is EOL too | 05:27 |
| appa | yeah I'm working to pivot up to 18.04 | 05:28 |
| appa | it's an old but loved system I'm trying to keep alive | 05:28 |
| guiverc | appa, fyi: when you enter room it mentions https://xubuntu.org/releases for supported releases which are on-topic here, yes I've upgraded an eol release before but it was a pain thus I've avoided it since, so don't expect much help here sorry because it's off-topic to room | 05:49 |
| appa | fair enough, I'm learning as I go, figured there wasn't many places to ask, but I've gotten some goo ideas | 05:51 |
| pragomer | hi. what is the best way to assign specific programs to specific workspaces? | 06:52 |
| xubuntu55w | hello....newbie question. i am trying to download the iso file from the mirror websites. How to find out which iso file is the right one for my system please? | 06:59 |
| xubuntu55w | thsnks in advance | 06:59 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu55w, what do you mean the right for your system? | 07:01 |
| xubuntu55w | there are many iso files in the mirror webpage | 07:03 |
| diogenes_ | and what are you pc specs? (cpu/gpu how old is your pc) | 07:03 |
| xubuntu55w | 3 years old, intel i7-6500, 64 bit, 8 GB RAM | 07:06 |
| diogenes_ | then xubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso | 07:06 |
| xubuntu55w | thank you sir. appreciate it. i am assuming 'amd64' has nothing to do with amd processor | 07:07 |
| diogenes_ | of course not, it just means 64 bit system. | 07:08 |
| xubuntu55w | thanks again | 07:08 |
| diogenes_ | it's called amd because amd was the first to implement this 64 bit technology and you're welcome. | 07:08 |
| Alabalistic | very strange problem, I left my laptop on for the night only with Hexchar running, and now all the 8 gigs of ram was full and some swap as well. | 07:20 |

| xubuntu30w | what's the code for moving title window up and down in 'themerc' found in xfwm4 folder when editing a theme ? | 08:28 |
| xubuntu30w | there is *title_horizontal_offset=0* | 08:29 |
| xubuntu30w | tried *title_vertical_offset* and did not work | 08:29 |
| xubuntu30w | nevermind I found it | 08:32 |
| appa | CorvetteZR1: There is something different about this hardware and how it boots (or different in what I don't understand) I've been trying to upgrade out of EOL 12.04 but I haven't figured that out yet. I did notice it's trying to use armel not armhf. | 13:59 |
| CorvetteZR1 | ah, i see. did you ask someone in #ubuntu or #debian? maybe someone there can suggest something | 14:16 |
| appa | I'll check it out, I wanted to say thanks before. I'm learning a lot about the mechanics I never fully understood before | 14:22 |
| xubuntu24w | Hola alguien sabe de xubuntu? | 14:49 |
| diogenes_ | !es | 14:50 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 14:50 |
| Kumool | xubuntu24w: si | 14:52 |
| CorvetteZR1 | da | 14:52 |
| Kumool | xubuntu24w: cual es tu pregunta? | 14:52 |
| Kumool | hello diogenes_! | 14:52 |
| diogenes_ | hi Kumool | 14:53 |
| xubuntu24w | Hola!! Trate hace poco mas de un mes de pasar de 18:10 y 19:04, y luego de terminar no booteo | 14:54 |
| Kumool | joins in the nick of time to help xubuntu24w, even if its just redirection, like some sort of superhero | 14:54 |
| xubuntu24w | Tuve que reintalar el 19:04 y actualizar al 19:10 y ahi me quede | 14:54 |
| xubuntu24w | Nunca me había pasado eso con una dist ubuntu | 14:54 |
| xubuntu24w | Ahora no me atrevó a reintentralo | 14:55 |
| Kumool | xubuntu24w: primero, entra a #ubuntu-es, escribe /join #ubuntu-es | 14:55 |
| Kumool | xubuntu24w: hay mas gente española ahi, si acaso no te pueda ayudar, alguien mas te ayuda | 14:56 |
| xubuntu24w | Gracias | 14:56 |
| Kumool | xubuntu24w: por el momento, no e intentado dar el upgrade a 19.04, pero si mantienes la particion de /home separada, puedes reinstalar xubuntu como si nada | 14:59 |
| Kumool | tendras que reinstalarlo todo, pero no debes temerle a hacer reinstalaciones | 14:59 |
| Kumool | xubuntu24w: porque siempre tendras tus datos :) | 14:59 |
