ericjmorey_I'm considering an upgrade to 19.10. Currently using 18.04 LTS. I've heard that LXQt has been significantly improved.07:13
guivercericjmorey_, fyi:  18.04 LTS to 18.10+ (LXDE -> LXQt) upgrades are not supported, "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." https://lubuntu.me/cosmic-released/    (they are07:17
guivercpossible yes; but problems can arise) .. I really like LXQt myself07:17

ericjmorey_it's been a while. is Rufus still recommened for creating a bootable live USB?07:26
guivercI've only ever written an ISO from GNU/Linux so have never used Rufus - this page of Manual has info on writing ISOs - https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.2/booting_the_image.html  (writing/burning the image section)07:27
guiverc(it has info on writing for windows, mac & of course GNU/Linux)07:29
ericjmorey_cool. I'll probably use that.07:38

billd1973good  morning all. lubuntu 18.04 fresh install asus 1001P all is well except keyboard and other minor function issues13:08
billd1973no left ctrl no backspace no hyphen/underscore missing about half of my F# keys particularly F1 F3 F5 F7 F11 F12.  hard to edit anything.13:10
billd1973have been trying to flash bios but for some reason its not recognizing the usb stick when I enter the flash utility (ALT+F2)  If I plug in a full size keyboard everything on it works13:11
billd1973added GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux" and ran sudo update-grub but it made no difference on the local keyboards functionality13:15
billd1973does the usb stick with the update ROM need to be "bootable" to be recognized by the bios?13:20
