[00:11] [telegram] Good to hear it (re @DarinMiller: 3 upgrades here from 19.10 to 20.04 and one from 18.04 to 19.04 with no issue.) [00:41] [telegram] We need to report bug 1860851 to Debian [00:41] bug 1860851 in blueman (Ubuntu) "blueman-applet crashed with UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8e in position 4: invalid start byte" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1860851 [00:41] [telegram] Keeps happening repeatedly for me [00:43] keithzg[m], not that I'm aware of; LeoK has run two Lubuntu upgrades from 19.10->20.04 without issue (on 5-April-2020) [00:43] [telegram] I’ll try to make a debdiff [00:43] [telegram] And then I’ll get it [00:55] @DarinMiller If you were replying to me, I mean, considering the problem is that SDDM isn't working at all and thus I can't log in to a graphical session there's no way I can locally invoke Krunner, heh, and of course ctrl-alt-t is likewise a futile gesture. [00:57] [telegram] I wasn't clear as the exact point of the failure. Geni helped some on kubuntu support the other day who lost SDDM entirely. Not sure if was during an upgrade. The affected person was able to drop console and sudo apt install sddm [01:01] [telegram] Who maintains blueman? [01:02] [telegram] it's not in salsa debian but its in ubuntu [01:02] [telegram] it says its maintained by ubuntu motu [01:04] [telegram] Here it is in Debian https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/blueman [01:05] [telegram] gr8 [01:11] [telegram] <>_Sudo> [01:33] @DarinMiller: As the short paste I shared makes clear, SDDM is very much installed. (You don't even necessarily have to have read it to know that, it'd be hard to get journalctl to give you output for a unit that doesn't exist ;)) [01:36] [telegram] I totally overlooked your link... agreed, quite obvious SDDM is running and choking... [01:40] [telegram] I just install Ubuntu in a VM. It works smooth. I just have a few issues one of then is with the apps folder when I go into one and go back the applidogion grid become crash with small icons and lots of dots on the right when usually they are just two.

[18:58] [telegram] heyy [18:58] [telegram] hi @therealriganb [18:58] [telegram] I just wanted to ask that whether installing Lubuntu 20.04 Beta will impact day to day usage much [18:59] [telegram] I know bit general stuff about software and systems but am quite new to actually using Linux [18:59] [telegram] I tried Elementary and Ubuntu but they seemed to be heavy for my old laptop [19:00] [telegram] Hey Sir, please help me out (re @philipz: hi @therealriganb) [19:01] [telegram] Anyone here?? [19:01] [telegram] patience. [19:03] [telegram] Alrighty Alan 😂 I am just a bit excited to switch between distributions and learn more and more about Linux and Ubuntu [19:03] [telegram] Teen spirit you know [19:05] [telegram] the beta isnt 100% stable, which is why its a beta, but you should be able to install and run it for day to day usage with limited problems, as long as you keep it updated (re @therealriganb: I just wanted to ask that whether installing Lubuntu 20.04 Beta will impact day to day usage much) [19:05] [telegram] @kc2bez @guiverc you guys agree [19:06] [telegram] In comparison, the LXQT is a lightweight desktop environment. (re @therealriganb: I tried Elementary and Ubuntu but they seemed to be heavy for my old laptop) [19:07] [telegram] you can try xubuntu which is also light like lubuntu (re @therealriganb: I tried Elementary and Ubuntu but they seemed to be heavy for my old laptop) [19:09] [telegram] As a beginner, maybe wait for final release would be better. (re @therealriganb: I just wanted to ask that whether installing Lubuntu 20.04 Beta will impact day to day usage much) [19:11] [telegram] Yeah [19:22] [telegram] Alright, thanks for all the responses [19:23] [telegram] Okay just one more question, might seem stupid but will updating from beta 20.04 or stable 18.04 to stable 20.04 release require me to back my data up? [19:25] [telegram] When in doubt, back up. That’s my philosophy anyways. (re @therealriganb: Okay just one more question, might seem stupid but will updating from beta 20.04 or stable 18.04 to stable 20.04 release require me to back my data up?) [19:25] [telegram] You should always *always* have a backup of your data [19:27] [telegram] our good friend @popeydc shows how you can do so with a software called clonezilla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxWmizuVl-g [19:29] [telegram] You guys are so good, in a time like this locked up in a home Linux is the best thing I am having a look at, and I am feeling so happy I found this group now (re @philipz: our good friend @popeydc shows how you can do so with a software called clonezilla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxWmizuVl-g) [19:30] [telegram] I also like to back up specific partitions using the gnome disk utility [19:31] [telegram] I was actually stuck in Ubuntu unable to figure out how to free up space from root partition post install [19:32] [telegram] there is an app called bleachbit which can help remove some things from root. other than that, you'd have to uninstall apps and potentially unused kernels [19:33] [telegram] Ya I saw that in a video today, installed it using Synaptic and used it as well, reminded me somewhat of CCleaner that I used on Windows about 3-4 years back (re @philipz: there is an app called bleachbit which can help remove some things from root. other than that, you'd have to uninstall apps and potentially unused kernels) [19:34] [telegram] you can use the app baobab to see where all the space in root is being taken up by [19:34] [telegram] i use CCleaner as well on windows [19:34] [telegram] root has lots of storage, it just says the partition is in use (re @philipz: you can use the app baobab to see where all the space in root is being taken up by) [19:35] [telegram] It was acquired by Avast a few years back na? I saw a few articles online regarding the decreasing trust on CCleaner so I stopped using it (re @philipz: i use CCleaner as well on windows) [19:36] [telegram] My Sony VAIO from 6-7 laptop just couldn't sustain on Windows anymore tho [19:36] It was, yes. As someone who does Windows sysadmin as her day job, I'd recommend sticking to the built-in Microsoft cleanup tool (cleanmgr). [19:36] [telegram] My Sony VAIO (from 6-7 years old )laptop just couldn't sustain on Windows anymore tho (edited) [19:36] [telegram] And it has something called StorageSense as well na?

As someone who does Windows sysadmin as her day job, I'd recommend sticking to the built-in Microsoft cleanup tool (cleanmgr).) [19:37] [telegram] Getting born late made me miss a lot of early stuff I guess [19:38] [telegram] this telegram group is connected with an irc channel [19:38] [telegram] so if i'm getting you right, you want to reduce the size of root? (re @therealriganb: root has lots of storage, it just says the partition is in use) [19:39] [telegram] O yes, I remember it said there are 3 ways to connect to this chat (re @philipz: this telegram group is connected with an irc channel) [19:39] [telegram] Yess, because when I installed ubuntu replacing everything, it automatically gave all my 500 gigs to root (re @philipz: so if i'm getting you right, you want to reduce the size of root?) [19:39] [telegram] There's no home partition [19:39] [telegram] And just a swap one of 2 gigs [19:40] [telegram] what you can do is run a live session off USB and open up gparted and then decrease the size of the root partition [19:41] [telegram] okay I will see if I will need that in future, since I am switching to Lubuntu right now anyway [19:42] [telegram] if you want separate root and home partitions, you'll have to go into the advanced setting during the installation to set that [19:43] [telegram] can you explain me in a bit detail? Like if I am completely removing everything from my laptop and just want Lubuntu for now with separate root and home partitions, do I need to use GParted live first? (re @philipz: if you want separate root and home partitions, you'll have to go into the advanced setting during the installation to set that) [19:43] [telegram] https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Select-Ubuntu-16.04-Installation-Type.png [19:44] [telegram] Ya but how do I free up all the space acquired by Ubuntu already on my disk? (re @philipz: https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Select-Ubuntu-16.04-Installation-Type.png) [19:48] [telegram] in gparted, you can create, resize and delete partitions, then use 'something else' in the installer to set the partition bindings that you want. thats how i do it. [19:48] [telegram] Delete all partitions, and then re-create root and home partitions with suitable size. (re @therealriganb: Ya but how do I free up all the space acquired by Ubuntu already on my disk?) [19:51] [telegram] and swap [19:52] [telegram] After choose advanced partition tool('something else' options), you can create or delete partition by click plus and minus button. And then choose appropriate mount point for each partition, such as '/' and '/home/'. [19:56]
