[01:22] <UserGuy> i'm trying to set up serial port termal access to a lubuntu machine. I'm having trouble as various 'how to' guides i have found seem to list different files and command and none of them have worked so far.
[01:23] <UserGuy> i was able to get minicom working and type between the lubuntu machine i want to set up access to, and the computer i am using as a terminal.
[01:24] <UserGuy> but getting serial port access to the lubuntu terminal has proven troublesome. has anybody here tried it?
[01:31] <guiverc> UserGuy, You haven't said what release, but I doubt many have done that in years, possibly decade+
[01:32] <UserGuy> Ah, so I did. My bad. I've been trying with Lubuntu 16.04.
[01:33] <UserGuy> All the guides and posts I have found so far only seem to apply to earlier versions.
[01:33] <guiverc> UserGuy, sorry Lubuntu 16.04 is EOL, being a flavor it had 3 years of support from 2016-April (https://lubuntu.me/xenial-5-released/), 5 years applies only to Ubuntu desktop (Unity), Server, cloud, Core..
[01:34] <guiverc> (most of us `ssh` into machines instead, serial terms are rare these days)
[01:38] <UserGuy> I didn't realize the support period expired. I guess I'll try to see if a newer version will run on 768 MB of RAM.
[01:40] <guiverc> I tested 18.04/18.10/19.04 (x86) using 1gb & higher boxes, never anything under..  alternate installer maybe necessary to install
[02:09] <zoan> hey
[02:09] <zoan> you know what is the difference between lxqt and lubuntu desktop session?
[02:11] <guiverc> at login, selecting 'lubuntu' uses all lubuntu's settings/configs, the 'lxqt' uses the upstream (LXQt) ones without the extra lubuntu/openbox settings (this is vague & simplified)
[02:13] <zoan> for better performance and if I have no need for modifications I should choose LXQt then?
[02:14] <guiverc> I doubt there is any performance difference between them, it'll alter mostly shortcuts/key-configs available... but performance won't change
[02:15] <zoan> ok ty
[13:36] <Guest_56> hi, I am try to install lubuntu , and a mensagem aprear. Installation step faied. The falling is: Select and install software
[13:38] <kc2bez> Guest_56: Which version of Lubuntu? Also, You may want to check your network connections.
[13:39] <Guest_56> 18.04
[13:40] <kc2bez> Ah, gotcha. I am not super familiar with the Ubiquity installer. Hopefully someone else has some ideas.
[13:42] <Guest_56> ok;tks
 Verify the ISO you're using to install using the built in checksum at bootup. Network isn't required it'll just copy off your install medium.
[21:38] <eamonn_> Anyone ever try to use winetricks?
