[07:02] <theos> hi
[07:02] <theos> is there a way to install lubuntu-desktop and remove firefox? I have chromium
[07:05] <guiverc> theos, lubuntu-desktop on 19.04 recommends firefox, it's not a dependency https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/lubuntu-desktop
[07:06] <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?)
[07:07] <guiverc> `lsb_release -a` from term should tell you.
[07:08] <guiverc> though running `ubuntu-support-status` maybe benefecial to knowing your support options.
[07:09] <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
[07:12] <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.
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <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?
[07:15] <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.
[07:16] <theos> ya. i installed 18.04. it was working fine. just used twice the ram as compared to 14.04
[07:19] <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!
[07:24] <theos> so there is no way to remove ff?
[07:26] <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).
[07:27] <theos> I see. thanks for your help.
