| YADW | Hello! I'm trying to install Lubuntu 16.04 LTS on a very old machine (18.04+ results in a kernel panic). | 17:40 |
| YADW | I've succesfully installed the same version on several machines of seemingly the same lot, but this one in particular will show up a busybox shell whenever I try to run the installer or boot in the live OS. | 17:40 |
| YADW | Also, the keyboard gets disconnected so I can't even use the shell. | 17:41 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> YADW 16.04 reaced EOL and is no loner maintaimned. We can help you with the kernel panic in 18.04. | 18:05 |
| YADW | lubot according to https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle 16.04 shouldn't reach EOL before 2021, and according to https://today-date.com/ we currently are around 2019. I could ask Wolfram Alpha, but I think 2019 is a smaller number than 2021. | 18:12 |
| YADW | Rough estimate, might need to check. | 18:13 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> The packages of Lubuntu are in universe, which is maintained by the community, not by Canonical. And Lubuntu supports LTS versions for 3 years. | 18:15 |
| lubot | <aptghetto> The 5 years are only for packages in the main repo. | 18:16 |
| YADW | Bugger, I had already opened Wolfram Alpha. Now I'll need to close the tab. | 18:18 |

| viju | Hello, lubuntu desktop doesn't fill the entire screen. It leaves some 2 inches of left screen. However the taskbar is fills the entire bottom space as usual. | 21:19 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> which version? | 21:19 |
| viju | This is how it looks https://i.postimg.cc/bN9CHnGj/Selection-003.png | 21:26 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> woah! wierd. | 21:27 |
| lubot | <The_LoudSpeaker> @wxl: @kc2bez @HMollerCl @aptghetto any of you seeing this? ^^ | 21:28 |
| viju | Solved that. Thanks anyway | 21:34 |
| wxl | viju: first, i'll tell you what i tell everyone: don't bother with 18.04/lxde. come 2021, you'll be on lxqt anyways, so you might as well switch to lxqt now. | 21:34 |
| wxl | among other reasons: if this is a bug in lxde, good luck seeing it get fixed. the upstream developers are not doing anything and haven't in a long time. | 21:35 |
| viju | Is lxqt another desktop? | 21:36 |
| wxl | it's what lubuntu has been using since 18.10 | 21:36 |
| wxl | basically lxde developers left and created lxqt | 21:36 |
| wxl | it's built off a different toolkit, but is the same basic experience | 21:36 |
| wxl | ..............except that it's constantly getting developed and improved | 21:36 |
| viju | I am on 18.04 | 21:36 |
| wxl | that's what i'm saying: i'd advise against 18.04. | 21:37 |
| viju | I upgrade every two years when new LTS version's launched | 21:37 |
| wxl | the 18.04 -> 20.04 upgrade in lubuntu will not be supported. no lxde -> lxqt upgrade is. | 21:37 |
| wxl | that said, like i said, now's a good time to jump onto the lxqt train. | 21:38 |
| wxl | regardless, i have never seen an issue like you're showing. does it persist across reboots? | 21:40 |
| wxl | what about all the different virtual desktops? | 21:42 |
| wxl | can you DND things into that blank area? | 21:42 |
| wxl | what if you change the wallpaper? | 21:42 |
| viju | I reinstalled and it fixed itself | 21:42 |
| viju | Earlier the buttons were missing too. Don't know why | 21:43 |
| viju | max/min/close | 21:43 |
| wxl | this is a fresh install? | 21:44 |
| viju | Just lubuntu, not the OS | 21:45 |
| wxl | huh? | 21:45 |
| wxl | you installed the metapackage? | 21:46 |
| viju | I am not sure if I answered correctly. I meant I removed lubuntu and then reinstalled using sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 21:46 |
| wxl | what did you start with? | 21:48 |
| viju | I am not sure what you mean by that. | 21:51 |
| wxl | what did you install to begin with? | 21:51 |
| viju | lubuntu desktop | 21:52 |
| wxl | in ubuntu? using the mini.iso? what? | 21:52 |
| wxl | a standard lubuntu install? | 21:52 |
| viju | ubuntu first then I added different desktops - xfce/kubuntu/mate etc. | 21:53 |
| wxl | ah yeah well that can be all sorts of messy | 21:53 |
| viju | kde used to freeze/crash I haven't completely removed because I am using certain other packages | 21:54 |
| wxl | what that sounds like to me is a lot of variables | 21:54 |
| wxl | which explains to me why i don't see this problem with lubuntu itself | 21:54 |
| viju | Things would have been different if I had installed lubuntu, instead of going ubuntu first? | 21:55 |
| wxl | sure | 21:56 |
| wxl | you'll have some residual ubuntu garbage | 21:56 |
| wxl | just as you would with xubuntu/kubuntu/mate/etc. | 21:56 |
| viju | I am guessing lxqt is built with qt framework instead of gnome | 21:57 |
| wxl | qt instead of gtk2, yes | 21:58 |
| viju | Thanks, cheers | 22:01 |
| p0wder | i followed these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack to upgrade to hwe kernel, and everything is working fine | 23:24 |
| p0wder | but now apt is giving me updates for both kernels. 4.15.* and 5.* (HWE) | 23:24 |
| p0wder | any ideas how i can stop getting the updates for the non hwe kernels? | 23:25 |
| p0wder | here is a screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/152kkMv_ca3u4BHoaMZSzT1oAjMr6mEe1/view | 23:29 |
| krytarik | p0wder: Just remove the variants that aren't from the HWE - these are metapackages, and later on you might want to remove the remaining actual non-HWE kernel packages too. | 23:34 |
| p0wder | is there like a proper way to remove them with apt or should i just do sudo rm ? | 23:36 |
| p0wder | i didnt run the upgrade yet | 23:36 |
| krytarik | Oh, based on the screenshot I assumed you know how to use APT already - that'd be "sudo apt purge <package> ..." | 23:38 |
| p0wder | ok cool. thx! | 23:41 |
