goomohnis 20.04 really unstable? i want a 5 yr OS but 18.04 ends in 209:52
guivercgoomohn, no ot09:52
guivercsorry, it's still under development so it's not considered stable; but that's not really unstable.  things can still change with 20.0409:53
guivercLubuntu 18.04 LTS support will end 2018-April + 3 years = 2021-April (less than 2 years left)09:54
guiverc5 years refers to Ubuntu itself (server or desktop) and not flavors09:54
goomohni still get community updates on 16.0409:55
guivercUbuntu 16.04 LTS with Ubuntu desktop, server and Kylin (it had 5 years for 16.04 only) is still supported, if you check `ubuntu-support-status` you'll note all other components are EOL, ie. lxde/xfce/gnome/mate/kde/etc desktop parts are EOL, only Unity 7 desktop & Kylin are still supported & getting updates09:57
goomohnso, 20.04 stable branch starts next month? is there a day set because i need to get rid of win10 on this pc before may force updates10:04
guivercgoomohn, sorry for delay, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule says Thur April 23, if it gets pushed a week it'll be the next Thursday.10:11
goomohnthanks10:15
Ann1caI'm using Konsole version  4:19.04.3-0ubuntu1  looks like cursor settings under advanced settings has been removed. Do you guys have the same issue ?11:08
kc2bezAnn1ca: Lubuntu doesn't use Konsole by default. You may want to check in #kubuntu11:15
Ann1cakc2bez:  Yes, I know. But I'm using  Lubuntu (gtk). And so, I'm wondering if it might be some kind of system issue. Becase kubuntu users don't have this problem.11:19
kc2bezWhich version of Lubuntu?11:20
Ann1ca19.1011:20
Ann1caThe whole settings page has been changed. Now, under Advanced, where the cursor settings used to be, there's no  option for customization of the cursor  anymore11:21
Ann1caSorry for the typos11:22
kc2bez19.10 is not gtk based. It is qt based. That being said, Konsole should behave the same in both Kubuntu and Lubuntu.11:22
kc2bezI am not familiar enough with konsole to know I would have to install it in both to see the differences11:23
Ann1cakc2bez:  True - and so that's why I'm wondering what happened. Do you have the same issue  ?11:24
kc2bezI have to start up a couple of virtual machines to test. It might take a bit.11:25
Ann1caOh, you don't have to go through all the toruble11:27
guivercFYI: I have konsole installed (4:19.12.3-0ubuntu1) but what Advanced.Settings do you mean?11:31
guivercUnder (Konsole)->Profile->Advanced I don't see cursor settings; is this what you're asking?11:33
kc2bezside by side kubuntu's konsole looks just like the konsole I have installed in Lubuntu.11:37
Ann1caYes, that's it. I can't see cursor settings there neither11:38
Ann1caI'm visually impaired. So color settings  are very important  for me. I'd   swap to  lxterminal i fI could change the  cursor color on that one. But  lxterminal has evne fewever options11:39
kc2bezcursor settings are in a tab in appearance11:40
Ann1caIt's somewhat strange why sudenly teh cursor options is no longer there under advanced11:40
Ann1caOh, no I don't mean the mouse cursor.I mena the terminal cursor11:40
kc2bezso on the left above advanced is a tab for appearance. in appearance is another tab for the terminal cursor.11:42
Ann1caNow I'm confused....11:45
Ann1caYou're no ttalking about the  konsole settings pag e now..right ?11:46
kc2bezYes. in the konsole settings.11:47
Ann1cakc2bez:  Wooohooo !!! I found it...ohhhh  THANK you so much  !!! xxx11:51
kc2bezYou are welcome Ann1ca11:52
Ann1caOkay, I've to go....kc2 You've made someone  happy todoay ! :-)11:56

krabadorprumpi, opensource amd drivers are default22:18
prumpihmm... but i dont seem to have any options for graphic card not even when pluging in hdmi to the tv22:25
prumpii dont get any openGL info or driver info in the system info for the display22:27
krabadorprumpi, https://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/22:38
krabadoryour card is supported by radeon driver22:38
tomreynprumpi: there are no similarily levelled GUI utilities for open source drivers such as there are on windows or for nvidias' smi application, but this is really just a metter of convenience, you can still get all the info and tweaks things on a temrinal and with scripting23:00
prumpithanks krabador23:04
prumpiand thanks tomreyn23:04
krabadorenjoy23:05
prumpiyeah i figured that out ther aint no gui tools, I just booted kali live and had no problems connecting an TV trough HDMI and i dont seem to figure out "updateing" or installing drivers on lubuntu23:06
tomreynyou don't usually. exceptions apply when you have very recent hardware (but you don't)23:06
prumpiI have ubuntu on my desktop 18.04 and theres no problem there either23:07
tomreynglxinfo -b     provides some info on 3d acceleration capabilities23:07

prumpithis is the output of glxinfo -b23:10
prumpi:D23:10
tomreynglxinfo -B      sorry23:10
tomreynalso have a look at these which can be useful https://www.mesa3d.org/envvars.html23:13
tomreyne.g. GALLIUM_HUD can add an fps counter to any 3d graphics application23:14
tomreyn(and more)23:14
tomreynmost of the open drivers are built around MESA, yours included23:15
prumpiThank you for your time, alot learned and more digging to do :P23:16
