loganleehello how to upgrade to newer version of lubuntu?08:19
guivercloganlee, what release of Lubuntu are you using currently?08:31
loganleei'm not sure08:31
guivercIf you're using it now (and it was me), I'd open a terminal and type `lsb_release -a`08:32
loganleeUbuntu 18.04 LTS08:35
loganleebut i'm using lubuntu :(08:35
guivercDon't worry, I'm using Lubuntu 19.10 and it tells me I'm running Ubuntu too.  The base is ubuntu with LXDE/Lubuntu on top of Ubuntu base...08:36
loganleesometimes my GUI gets broken like when i open printers08:37
guivercloganlee, the 18.10 release notes (https://lubuntu.me/cosmic-released/) state  "The most major and notable problem is that upgrading Lubuntu from 18.04 to 18.10 causes a fair amount of issues. Therefore, we are not officially supporting this upgrade path at this time, however we have prepared a page in the Lubuntu Manual which can help address the problems that arise after the upgrade."08:37
loganleeok thx08:38
guiverchold on... looking soemthing up again08:38
guivercno nothing more in the manual (https://manual.lubuntu.me/D/upgrading.html) .. it's possible yes, but its cleaner by re-installing; myself I'd recommend (https://manual.lubuntu.me/1/1.3/installation.html) the manual partitioning, using your existing partitions & I'd choose no-format (but backup before you do it anyway).  It'll take note of your added programs, wipe system directories, install, add back some programs (this can cause clutter but I08:41
guivercfind useful) and want to reboot.. It's what I'd suggest for moving to LXQt though most I believe would say clean-install & restore data files from backup (cleanest for sure)08:41
guiverc"manual partitiong" option I mean can be seen in the installation page  under "Setting up partitions" section  (the picture shows 'erase disk' as ticked; the option under that)08:43
guivercthere is more on "Manual partitioning" later on the page too.08:44

SupaHey guys, noob question: are beta releases upgradable?17:40
wxlyep17:40
Supaty!17:40
wxlthat is undoubtably due to timedatectl17:47
wxloops wrong channel bah17:47
danixthi19:18
Owain900hey, just a quick question, i have a program for handling .STL files and this program is a .appimage22:55
Owain900how would i go about setting this program as the defualt to open .STL files?22:56
wxlOwain900: what version of lubuntu?23:07
Owain900the latest stable version i believe23:40
tomreyn72.16 then?23:42
Owain900i think so23:44
wxlhahahah23:44
wxlOwain900: lsb_release -r23:45
kc2bezin the terminal ^23:45
Owain90019.0423:45
tomreyni was close, its 4 digits23:45
Owain900truuuu23:46
Owain900ya got me there23:46
wxlit's basically equivalent23:46
wxlappimages are the ones that are basically run like normal binaries right?23:46
kc2bezyes23:47
kc2bezdownload and run23:47
kc2bezthey update themselves... sometimes23:48
wxlso it seems like file associations doesn't allow for arbitrary paths23:48
wxlthat said, you'll want to create a desktop entry23:48
wxlcreate a file like ~/.local/share/applications/goofy-stl-program.desktop23:48
kc2bezthey may already do that. they usually end up in the menu23:48
wxlis it Owain900 ?23:49
kc2bezfirst run often does some install type things but YMMV23:49
wxlif it isn't there, make said file23:50
Owain900its not in the list, ill do that now23:50
wxlit should have the following content (or something like it)23:50
wxlType=Application23:50
wxlName="Goofy STL App"23:50
wxlExec=/path/to/goofy-stl-program23:50
wxlonce you have that done, open up the file associations application23:51
wxlenter stl in the search23:51
wxlopen up the model bit and click on stl23:51
wxlclick the "choose" button under default application23:51
wxlselect "Goofy STL App23:51
wxl"23:51
wxlok, close, and you're done23:51
wxlthat probably updates mimeapps.lst and little else so you could probably just edit that but meh23:52
wxland even then, it calls a desktop23:54
wxlso you'll still need that23:54
wxlone more step: yell at the application developer for not having their application install a desktop entry23:56
kc2bez^ this23:57
