rizwannow that I am on Lubuntu 19.04, should I upgrade to 19.10 - or is 19.04 LTS and 19.10 not LTS?11:18
lubot<HMollerCl> Lts come every 2 years and the latest are 16.04 and 18.04. Next Lts will be 20.0411:22
lubot<HMollerCl> rizwan^11:23
rizwanso 19.04 is not LTS?11:26
rizwanI was advised to download 19.04 yday11:26
rizwanto upgrade from 18.1011:26
rizwani want an LTS to avoid all the stress and bother11:26
lubot<N0um3n0> @rizwan [<rizwan> so 19.04 is not LTS?], No. The current version is 19.10.  the other option is  download 20.04, but it is still in development, that will be LTS11:41
rizwan@n0umn0: so 19.10 is LTS?12:02
rizwanto clarify12:02
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> No.12:29
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> 20.04 will be.12:29
lubot<The_LoudSpeaker> You should upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10 currently and then to 20.04 when it arrives.12:30

rizwanso peeps - is there a way i can downgrade from 18.10 to 18.04?16:02
rizwansorry my mistake -pls ignore my last post16:02
rizwanso - i now have 19.10, but it is only supported until the middle of this year. what should I do once it is no longer supported? Should I downgrade to 18.04 which is LTS?16:06
kc2bezno you should upgrade in April when the new release is available.16:10
kc2bezthe next release will be an lts16:10
kc2bezdowngrading is problematic for many reasons16:11
kc2bezmost importantly Lubuntu has different desktop environments16:12
kc2bezwe won't be supporting upgrades from 18.04 to 20.0416:12
kc2bezthere are simply too many differences.16:13
lubot<wxl23> Or upgrades from 18.04 to anything16:14
lubot<wxl23> Or LXDE16:14
lubot<wxl23> Or GTK apps16:14
lotkahey all, would 2gb ram be enough for a Lubuntu VM thats only used for browsing with Firefox16:29
lubot<wxl23> Depends upon which websites. Some are very taxing16:31
lotkais there a task manager type application in lubuntu? that will allow me to see usage16:37
lubot<wxl23> qps16:37
lubot<wxl23> Or just use (h)top in terminal16:38
lotkathank you16:39
lubot<wxl23> Yep16:39
rizwankc2bez: oh ok, what will the new release be16:39
rizwan?16:39
lubot<wxl23> 20.0416:40
lubot<wxl23> Releases always come out in April (.04) or October (.10) and every two years one of the April releases is an LTS16:41
rizwanoooo 20.04?16:42
rizwanthat sounds new16:42
rizwanand like, cool16:42
lubot<wxl23> Last LTS was 2018 (18.) so next will be in 2020 April (20.04)16:42
lubot<wxl23> Codenamed Focal Fossa16:43

akemhpPackaged gimp is unstable, crashes all the time with just 2 pictures opens.17:53
akemhpSo i'm forced to reboot on Windows and use the Win version :/17:54
akemhpMaybe i'll try to use Wine on Linux and install the Windows version on LUbuntu.17:55
wxlakemhp: what version?19:09
akemhpwxl, I don't remember, 2.10 ? The one with mushrooms on the splash screen, the version provided from apt in 19.04.19:39
akemhpI installed the Windows version with Wine, but i got freezing :P so i got back to real Windows version...19:40
akemhpCause i got dual boot, i kept the old Windows 7 in place.19:42
akemhpMaybe i could get a binary tarball of another older version for Linux, that would be more stable.19:45
akemhpYeah i found the older version tarballs online, i will try that.19:50
krytenWell, I'd rather advise to try a more current version (I think there is still a PPA offering current builds for supported Ubuntu versions), since the one currently in Debian Testing definitely worked fine for me a few days ago..19:55
DEXI set up a script to start a minecraft server when lubuntu starts but can't remember where it is. is there a way to find out?21:51
lubot<wxl23> @akemhp [<akemhp> Packaged gimp is unstable, crashes all the time with just 2 pictures op …], Could you provide the example files? What sort of system resources do you have? Anything related to gimp in /var/crash?22:38

newUser20202HI All23:15
newUser20202I have Lubuntu 32 bit, how can I migrate to 64 bit?23:15
newUser20202Or how can I try lubuntu 64 bit on USB stick and boot from it23:16
guivercnewUser20202, you can Try Lubuntu before you install; a switch from i386 (x86) to amd64 (x86_64) will require re-install.23:19
newUser20202I am currently running Lubuntu 32 bit23:20
guivercnewUser20202, you can however use the "Manual Partioning" during the re-instal, select your existing partitions and ensure you don't have 'format' checked, it'll note your added packages, wipe system dirs, install, add back your additional packages without touching user configs or files (unless you selected format) ; the best for i386 to amd64 in my opinion.  but of course backup your files FIRST23:20
guivercyou haven't said what release of Lubuntu though..23:21
guiverci386 is what/how debian & ubuntu x86 (32-bit)  -- debian/ubuntu never moved to i486/i586/i686 calling all i386  (ie. 32bit)23:21
newUser20202so I have Lubuntu 18 ( not sure how to get exact version)23:22
newUser20202I want to try 64 bit by preparing USB stick, but couldn't find any tutorial for it23:23
guiverc"Manual Partition" is what modern Lubuntu's `calamares` installer calls the option; it's "Something else" in 'ubiquity` as used in Lubuntu 18.04 LTS; you can use `lsb_release -a` to list install details  (or `cat /etc/os-release`)23:24
guiverchttps://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#0   (applies equally to flavors like Lubuntu too)23:24
guivercjust use the Lubuntu ISO23:24
guivercOur manual can be found at https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/  (stable = 19.10 release; it's images & description will match LXQt or modern Lubuntu, not legacy LXDE found in 18.04 LTS)23:25
guivercthe pages on retrieving image, booting image will be useful anyway23:27
newUser20202ok23:27
newUser20202so I am at https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#223:28
newUser20202On Ubuntu 18.04 and later, use the bottom left icon to open ‘Show Applications'23:28
newUser20202Lubuntu does not have Show applicatinos"23:28
guivercthe GUI in Lubuntu 18.04 is LXDE so differs yes, it was the "Try before you install" concept from the page that was my intention... Lubuntu has a much lighter GUI (faster, using less memory, but yes different)23:30
newUser20202nm, I got the Startup disk creator application23:30
newUser20202Thank you guiverc23:31
lubot<wxl23> @DEX [<DEX> I set up a script to start a minecraft server when lubuntu starts but can' …], This could be in lots of places but looking at threads in top or qps should reveal what's calling the script23:34
newUser20202Which 64 bit Lubuntu ISO is ideal  for Intel Centrino Duo (1.66 GHz, 2GB) laptop?23:42
lubot<wxl23> The latest 19.1023:45
newUser20202Eoan Ermine (LXQt)?23:47
newUser20202also, it is torrent file, how to get actual ISO?23:50
guiverchttps://lubuntu.me/downloads/23:52
guiverc(if you click the Desktop 64-bit bit it'll download lubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso)23:52
newUser20202it gives me torrent file, do I have to execute it?23:53
newUser20202and torrent file is of 62.9 KB23:54
guivercdon't click the magnet part, the left blue "Desktop 64-bit" started downloading the file I mentioned .ISO23:54
newUser20202ohh23:54
newUser20202and Lubuntu does not show any progress bar of how much has been downloaded, right?23:56
guivercdepends on how you download; I'd `wget` the file so I see progress.. By clicking I was assuming you were using a browser & I can't help much there (may depend on the browser you use, I don't know sorry)23:56
* guiverc wget won't mean anything; it means I'm a strange person who'd switch to terminal & do it there; ie. I'm strange :)23:57
newUser20202I am using Firefox browser :)23:57
newUser20202so I have be in downloads folder and it shows status in the bar below.23:58
guiverc:)23:59
