[01:27] <Thedarkb-X40> How do I upgrade to a specific distro?
[01:27] <Thedarkb-X40> My PC's too old for LXQt.
[01:28] <lubot> <teward001> define "a specific distro"
[01:29] <lubot> <teward001> Lubuntu 18.04 is LXDE, 19.04+ is LXQt
[01:29] <lubot> <teward001> you can still use 18.04 for now, if you want, *might* be lighter for you
[01:30] <Thedarkb-X40> 18.04, preferably.
[01:31] <Thedarkb-X40> I'm on 17.10 currently.
[01:31] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> what are the specs of your PC?
[01:31] <Thedarkb-X40> Client: HexChat 2.12.4 • OS: Ubuntu "artful" 17.10 • CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.40GHz (800MHz) • Memory: Physical: 1.2 GiB Total (540.9 MiB Free) Swap: 945.3 MiB Total (485.2 MiB Free) • Storage: 25.1 GB / 31.8 GB (6.7 GB Free) • VGA: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device @ Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV Processor to I/O Contr
[01:31] <Thedarkb-X40> oller • Uptime: 3w 2d 2h 37m 32s
[01:31] <Thedarkb-X40> LXQt uses 255MB of RAM at idle which I consider to be unacceptable.
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> 17.10 is EOL lol
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> but that's not LXQt
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> that's LXDE
[01:32] <Thedarkb-X40> I'm aware of that.
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> only 19.04 or newer has LXQt
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> 18.04 is still LXDE
[01:32] <Thedarkb-X40> I want to upgrade to 18.04 so I can keep LXDE.
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> and that's still supported until 2020 I think
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> so do it.
[01:32] <Thedarkb-X40> I'm just asking what command to use.
[01:32] <lubot> <teward001> `sudo do-release-upgrade` maybe?
[01:33] <Thedarkb-X40> I'm afraid it might grab 19.04
[01:34] <lubot> <teward001> it won't
[01:34] <lubot> <teward001> the alternative
[01:34] <Thedarkb-X40> Cool, thank you.
[01:34] <lubot> <teward001> is to go download an 18.04 ISO
[01:34] <lubot> <teward001> burn it to the USB stick
[01:34] <lubot> <teward001> and use the USB stick to upgrade
[01:35] <lubot> <teward001> i should say, it *shouldn't* upgrade you to 19.04 - there isn't a 16.04 -> 19.04 upgrade path if i remember right
[05:16] <ph88> i did dist-upgrade now i get asked if i want lightdm or sddm ... what should i choose ?
[05:24] <loot_> lightdm
[05:26] <loot_> ph88 well that's what I use anyway
[05:27] <ph88> i saw that sddm also uses Qt like LxQt desktop
[05:35] <zinm> how to make autologin
[10:32] <mindsout> Hi. Can I delete folders from the .local folder from applications that are already uninstalled? For example, I have a folder for Mumble, Steam and lutris, but those apps are already uninstalled. Can I delete them safely or not?
[10:35] <kc2bez> mindsout: If they are uninstalled you can delete them. If you happen to reinstall them they will be recreated.
[10:55] <Flexman> hi! just installed lubuntu on an Asus E200H. Works so far, but sound is missing although its set to 100%. Any ideas?
[11:33] <Flexman> it seems i have only a dummy audio device

[17:15] <ph88> where to report a bug for lubuntu ?
[17:19] <lubot> <kc2bez> This page has information regarding bugs https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/bugs/  But the tl;dr is to submit a bug just issue `ubuntu-bug NAME_OF_PACKAGE` in a terminal, substituting the NAME_OF_PACKAGE for the package name.
