| theos | hi | 07:02 |
|---|---|---|
| theos | is there a way to install lubuntu-desktop and remove firefox? I have chromium | 07:02 |
| guiverc | theos, lubuntu-desktop on 19.04 recommends firefox, it's not a dependency https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/lubuntu-desktop | 07:05 |
| theos | guiverc i am on 14.04 | 07:06 |
| theos | wait. let me check. | 07:06 |
| guiverc | 14.04 LTS is EOL & unsupported; even 16.04 LTS flavors are unsupported. | 07:06 |
| theos | (how do i check which OS I have?) | 07:06 |
| guiverc | `lsb_release -a` from term should tell you. | 07:07 |
| guiverc | though running `ubuntu-support-status` maybe benefecial to knowing your support options. | 07:08 |
| guiverc | fyi: 14.04 means the 2014-April release (yy.mm format); it was a LTS giving it 3 years of supported life; 5 applies to main Ubuntu (with Unity for 14.04 so it's EOL now too; 14.04 is now ESM only) | 07:09 |
| theos | thanks. its 14.04. the reason i installed an older version is because i have to use my old laptop for now which only has 512MB ram. and 18.04 used a lot of ram by default | 07:09 |
| theos | i see. thanks again. I hope you understand my situation. I have worked out other kinks. had to find an OS, a web browser etc. now i just need to remove ff because its useless on this laptop. chromium is the only option i have now as it uses half the ram as compared to ff. | 07:12 |
| guiverc | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is supported, has updates & is secure; Lubuntu 14.04 reached EOL in 2017-April so hasn't received updates (desktop) since then. I'd not recommend using the laptop on the web as only 14.04 ESM is supported | 07:13 |
| theos | I was using 18.04 on my newer system before it died. it had 8 GB of ram and good enough cores to keep things running. | 07:14 |
| theos | I understand what you are saying. Is there a way to remove ff without removing lubuntu-desktop? | 07:14 |
| guiverc | I use 18.04 on an old thinkpad (t43) with 1.5gb of ram, also tested 18.04 on latitude d610 (1gb) & other like systems, but didn't test on anything less than 1gb of ram. | 07:15 |
| theos | ya. i installed 18.04. it was working fine. just used twice the ram as compared to 14.04 | 07:16 |
| guiverc | I don't have a 14.04 system here to query package/dep rules; online tools don't support it as only ESM supported (by Canonical, not Ubuntu volunteers). I probably would have gone for a network installer (or server) of 18.04 & add only what I needed (not via meta-packages) to stick to openbox or whatever you like - ie. light & current! | 07:19 |
| theos | so there is no way to remove ff? | 07:24 |
| guiverc | we don't support 14.04; I don't have access to 14.04 dep rules here (no 14.04 box & online tools only have supported releases). | 07:26 |
| theos | I see. thanks for your help. | 07:27 |
