c|onemanlxpanel is freaking shit compared to the Win98 start menu04:47
c|onemanwhere’s “open file location” and other useful right-click menus?04:48
guivercc|oneman, please mind the language...04:55
guivercc|oneman, i really have no idea what you're asking.  right click menu's vary on what application is running, openbox if wallpaper, pcmanfm if file manager, etc options can be disabled; so if disabled/changed fewer, or more may show..05:46
c|onemanI mean the “start menu” , this is complaint I have with all Desktop Environments. I can’t do enough with the application shortcuts05:48
c|onemanI guess it’s just “open file location” no in Windows 10, they mangled it there too...05:50
guivercLXDE is pretty much on life-support (by raspberry pi folks); it was replaced with LXQt for Lubuntu; LXDE used the old GTK+2 toolkit from long-ago (gnome2), thus little effort went into it. It wasn't until 18.10 that the switch to LXQt was finally made (using Qt5 toolkit)05:52
c|onemanwould you say it’s time to quit lubuntu on 32-bit?06:02
guivercI have Lubuntu on a t43 (old thinkpad), which is supported until 2021-April.   I also tried later Lubuntu 18.10/19.04 on it & it was nice; alas x86 support is best with 18.04; 2021-April is still awhile into the future.06:07
guiverc^ 18.04 LTS (from 2018-April with 3 years = 2021-April; 5 years applies only to Ubuntu with gnome)06:12

Sealronishello08:08
Sealronisi need an advice08:09
Sealronisi have a pc, that has 1gb ram and i installed lubuntu 19 there, it is slow and lagging. I tryed to change memory swapping number from 60 to 90 or 100 but that helped only a little to none. That computer has 64-bit architecture and i installed 64 bit lubuntu there, but now im thinking i could try 32 bit and maybe older version. Some people say that08:13
Sealronisthey have run lubuntu on 128-256mb ram, so with correct configuration and maybe older version i should be able to run it on 1gb too08:13
SealronisOn my main PC i also have this bug where lubuntu starts loading, number of ( OK ) colored text lines go and stops on ( OK ) GNOME Desktop loaded, i assume its because i installed another display manager - lightDM i think its name was and gdm3 and the original one and they must be conflicting, so i guess i need to reinstall new lubuntu.08:15
SealronisBut the pressing problem is with the 1gb ram computer in about an hour or two i need to install new OS on that pc, so people can use it. Its a public computer.08:16
diogenes_Sealronis, you can install whatever minimal system you want but, as soon as you open firefox, your ram is dead, ff takes 1Gb+ memory, so with 2Gb ram, you should use a different browser like dilla, epiphany.08:28
Sealronisasdas08:29
Sealronisdiogenes_, How can i install and use older system version? When i do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will it install OS to the newest version and slow my pc down again?08:30
