| Oderus | Hi. Using lubuntu 19.04, how can I put numlock on by default? | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | Oderus: you're going to kick yourself when you see how easy this is. Menu -> Preferences -> LXQt Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard -> Turn on NumLock after login | 00:27 |
| Oderus | Wxl: good grief! Thank you haha | 00:28 |
| wxl | :) | 00:28 |
| wxl | the other day there was a question about making desktop shortcuts AND I DIDN"T REALIZE YOU COULD DRAG AND DROP FROM THE MENU | 00:29 |
| wxl | i mean seriously, LXQt is awesome | 00:29 |
| Oderus | Hahah yeah. Im totally used to kde | 00:36 |
| p0wder | i really like lxde.. gonnna miss it :( | 00:37 |
| wxl | ahhhh not too far off then. it's pretty like kde but not so many functions that very few people need XD | 00:37 |
| Oderus | Is it going somewhere? | 00:37 |
| wxl | the one thing about kde: it can do ANYTHING.. regardless of whether or not you want it to | 00:37 |
| wxl | 18.04 is the last version of Lubuntu with LXDE | 00:37 |
| wxl | it | 00:37 |
| wxl | 'll still be in the archives | 00:38 |
| wxl | but it's pretty much dead upstream | 00:38 |
| wxl | has been | 00:38 |
| p0wder | yeah- i think 18.04 is the last lts thats gonna have it | 00:38 |
| p0wder | im gonna have to either start getting used to it, or switch to debian | 00:38 |
| p0wder | (when the time comes) | 00:39 |
| Oderus | Isnt the point of lubuntu to use lxde? | 00:39 |
| wxl | 4/2021 | 00:39 |
| wxl | no, the point of Lubuntu is to be lightweight | 00:39 |
| wxl | also: usable | 00:39 |
| wxl | it's hard to call something usable when it's unsupported :/ | 00:39 |
| Oderus | So what will it use? | 00:40 |
| wxl | LXQt | 00:40 |
| wxl | just like you're using | 00:40 |
| wxl | since 18.10 we've been releasing only LXQt | 00:40 |
| Oderus | Ohhh ok. Whats the major differemce? | 00:41 |
| wxl | well one major difference is LXQt is way more intuitive, usable, modern, beautiful, functional, well-developed and -supported upstream | 00:41 |
| p0wder | the biggest difference is GTK vs Qt | 00:42 |
| wxl | another is that rather than using ancient GTK2 (GTK4 is coming soon), it uses Qt for the graphics toolkids.. like KDE | 00:42 |
| p0wder | all of the apps are different | 00:42 |
| Oderus | The memory usage is soooooo low | 00:42 |
| wxl | the applications have been chosen based around the idea of trying to keep with Qt | 00:42 |
| wxl | LXDE and LXQt have one thing in common: the L stands for light | 00:43 |
| p0wder | here is a screenshot of my desktop | 00:43 |
| Oderus | I chose lubuntu for the low memory usage for a strange project lol | 00:43 |
| p0wder | https://cn.opendesktop.org/img/8/d/4/8/60063273678ffe5cac3106e9afced6ca46b3.png | 00:43 |
| Oderus | Nicr | 00:44 |
| p0wder | good ol'lxde can be beautiful! | 00:44 |
| Oderus | Dont mind my typing, on irc on a galaxy s9 -_- | 00:44 |
| wxl | i like how you're trying to make it look like LXQt X''''D | 00:44 |
| p0wder | i made those start menu icons :) | 00:45 |
| wxl | you should so post that on discourse. that's cute. | 00:45 |
| p0wder | lol thnx | 00:45 |
| p0wder | this is the theme info if anyone is interested | 00:47 |
| p0wder | https://github.com/PowderLinux/LXDE-Start-Menu/blob/master/THEME-INFO.txt | 00:47 |
| wxl | seriously! go post it on discourse! | 00:47 |
| p0wder | ok. i will in a lil bit | 00:49 |
| p0wder | gtg guys | 00:49 |
| Oderus | Im using as close to 0 theming as possible | 00:51 |
| Oderus | Black desktop | 00:52 |
| wxl | oooo | 00:52 |
| wxl | i use a tiling window manager so i rarely see mine XD | 00:52 |
| Oderus | As soon as lubuntu starts fs-uae runs and for all intents and purposes, it boots directly into Amiga OS | 00:53 |
| wxl | ok yeah that's crazy alright | 00:53 |
| Oderus | Lolol | 00:53 |
| wxl | also rad | 00:53 |
| wxl | i grew up in the amiga era. never had one, but a c-128 was my first computer. | 00:53 |
| wxl | YOU TOTALLY NEED TO mAKE SOME DEMOS | 00:53 |
| Oderus | Nice!!!!! Mine was a VIC20 i think. | 00:54 |
| Oderus | I was thinking of making some MODs and telnetting a few bbs | 00:54 |
| wxl | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STcVIPvr6lE | 00:54 |
| Oderus | Kickin it oldskool | 00:54 |
| wxl | yuuuup | 00:55 |
| kc2bez | Vic 20 was my first machine too. | 00:55 |
| Oderus | They still develop amiga believe it or not | 00:55 |
| wxl | what do you mean? | 00:55 |
| Oderus | New Amigas, ppc arcitecture. Amiga OS 4.1 | 00:56 |
| wxl | ppc only? | 00:56 |
| wxl | and that must be ppc64? | 00:56 |
| Oderus | Yeah | 00:56 |
| wxl | err i guess ppc64el now eh? | 00:56 |
| Oderus | Ill never buy the hardware tho. Cant justify paying 1500 for hardware that is outdated | 00:57 |
| Oderus | Price too high | 00:57 |
| wxl | yikes | 00:57 |
| Oderus | Lots of custom chips | 00:58 |
| kc2bez | small production runs jack up the price exponentially | 00:59 |
| Oderus | They still develop for classic m68k too. A new version for non ppc amigas just came out. Theres also os4.1 for ppc classic amigas | 00:59 |
| wxl | huh cool | 01:00 |
| wxl | well i'm off | 01:00 |
| wxl | have a good one! | 01:00 |
| Oderus | Thanks for the help and the chat | 01:00 |
| wxl | you should post screenshots of YOUR lubuntu to the discourse Oderus X''D | 01:00 |
| wxl | that'll stump 'em for sure | 01:00 |
| Oderus | Hahaha okay! | 01:00 |
| wxl | https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/screenshot-thread/221 | 01:02 |

| Guest_11 | I was wondering extracting lubuntu iso and placing it on a SD Card Running Grub Rescue and finding the files and reinstall Linux with SD Using a Phone to Transfer and seeing if Grub could boot it up is it possible | 16:37 |
| Guest_11 | & how would I manage to do so | 16:38 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> I would look at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+install+ubuntu+on+phone&t=ffab&atb=v1-1&ia=web | 16:43 |

| lubot | <SamuelBanya> I'm getting a 404 error when trying to do sudo apt update | 22:22 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/3Decr1v.jpg | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | !cosmic | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) was the 29th release of Ubuntu. Support ended July 18th, 2019. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2019-July/004996.html | 22:22 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> Oh is that why? | 22:23 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> I haven't updated my machine in that case then right ? | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | no, but that's a major issue you need to solve. | 22:23 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> How do I make sure I upgrade to the latest Lubuntu version then | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | the very error message you get is because the PPA you have configured no longer exists, or does not exist for ubuntu cosmic | 22:24 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> That I understand | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | to upgrade, use either update-manager -c (graphical) or do-release-upgrade (textual) | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | be sure to have complete and current backups before upgrading | 22:25 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/Yl1talt.jpg | 22:26 |
| tomreyn | personally i'd also recommend to ppa-purge any PPAs and to identify and delete leftover packages which can break the upgrade: https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages | 22:26 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> Do I have to use muon instead? | 22:27 |
| tomreyn | to do what? | 22:27 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> To update my Lubuntu os | 22:28 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> I tried both commands you listed but no dice | 22:28 |
| tomreyn | i think you should first disable the PPA which causes errors, then sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 22:28 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> Will sudo apt full-upgrade bump me up to Disco? | 22:29 |
| tomreyn | no, this will only install the latest updates for cosmic | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | which should enable you to run do-release-upgrade | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | so start by doing this sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-server-iso-testing-dev*.list | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | then sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 22:32 |
| tomreyn | SamuelBanya: and finally sudo do-release-upgrade | 22:36 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> Ok thanks | 22:42 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> Help a lot | 22:42 |
| lubot | <SamuelBanya> *helps | 22:42 |
| tomreyn | here's the manual https://manual.lubuntu.me/D/upgrading.html | 22:45 |
| tomreyn | do-release-upgrade is mentioned (amongst other) at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#Upgrading_from_last_release | 22:47 |
| tomreyn | and you're welcome ;) | 22:47 |
| lubot | <ctisme> (Photo, 125x32) https://i.imgur.com/XSd8mO1.jpg | 23:08 |
| lubot | <ctisme> how to change backlight of the keyboard state indicator from grey to red for more eyecatch ? | 23:08 |
| wxl | @ctisme you have to edit the Lubuntu Arc theme | 23:19 |
| wxl | look in /usr/share/lxqt/themes/Lubuntu Arc | 23:19 |
| wxl | lxqt-panel.qss is the relevant file | 23:19 |
| wxl | there's a section for KbIndicator | 23:19 |
| wxl | currently you have: | 23:19 |
| wxl | #KbIndicator > QLabel:enabled { | 23:19 |
| wxl | background: #383C4A; | 23:20 |
| wxl | } | 23:20 |
| wxl | change that value | 23:20 |
| wxl | should take effect immediately | 23:21 |
| wxl | i would have told you to just use kvantum but it's not packaged :( https://github.com/tsujan/Kvantum/tree/master/Kvantum | 23:21 |
| wxl | oh wait i lied | 23:23 |
| wxl | !info qt5-style-kvantum | 23:24 |
| ubottu | Package qt5-style-kvantum does not exist in bionic | 23:24 |
| wxl | i'll kick you, bot | 23:24 |
| wxl | !info qt5-style-kvantum disco | 23:24 |
