| Guest86477 | hello all, I would love to know how to install Ubuntu as i am new to it and have been struggling for way to many hours and have downloaded over 6Gb's of install file - yet to no luck running ubuntu | 00:17 |
| guiverc | Guest86477, have you looked at the manual; ie. https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/Installing_lubuntu.html (chapter 1.1 retrieving the image), 1.2 booting image, 1.3 installation.. | 00:19 |
| Guest86477 | no not yet let me take a look. AND thank you so much for this tip. i will be back shortly. :) | 00:21 |
| guiverc | fyi: that manual is for latest stable release, ie. 19.10 (if you're using an old x86 [32bit only] box you'll need 18.04) | 00:22 |
| Guest86477 | Thank you so much Guiverc - I am downloading it as we speak. | 00:25 |
| MMC | Cheers kryten - I tracked down the torrent link for the Beta. There were lots of Ubuntu mirrors, but Lubuntu mirrors were a little sparse in my search. | 00:33 |
| Guest86477 | i have downloaded Rufus but it does not launch. Any suggestions? | 00:34 |
| guiverc | Guest86477, I cannot help with rufus, I've never used it | 00:34 |
| guiverc | to help write ISO to thumbdrive, generic help can be https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/create-a-bootable-usb-stick-on-ubuntu/14011 | 00:35 |
| guiverc | https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/create-a-bootable-usb-stick-on-windows/14020 | 00:35 |
| guiverc | https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/create-a-bootable-usb-stick-on-macos/14016 | 00:35 |
| Guest86477 | thank you so much for your assistance. let me get back to some designing while the download is running. take care | 00:37 |
| guiverc | You're most welcome | 00:38 |
| kryten | MMC: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors - is the complete mirror list fwiw. But yeah, many more of these just do Ubuntu proper, and then there are ones that just do specific flavors. | 00:45 |
| guiverc | thanks kryten :) Guest86477 PM'd me so I provided thank link there when I realized I'd provided archive link.. | 01:00 |
| kryten | Congrats on confusing me completely now! >_> | 01:02 |
| kryten | But you are welcome! | 01:02 |
| guiverc | sorry for sharing my normal-confused state :) | 01:03 |

| Jordan | Hello I just did a fresh install of lubuntu on my Dell inspiron 1545. Currently it boots up | 16:34 |
| Jordan | And into the blank default background image with no curser, icons or any way to finish setup or login | 16:35 |
| Jordan | Cannot figure it out | 16:36 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | guys! | 17:22 |
| wxl | and girls | 17:23 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> Yinz | 17:23 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | wxl: long time lubuntu user? | 17:45 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | just go to install yet two days ago, after 3 years on an ancient Netbook. Astonished at the performance, simplicity and beauty. | 17:46 |
| wxl | yeah that's what we do :) | 17:46 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | Surprised at how everything works out of the box. Even KDEConnect with my Android phone. damn | 17:49 |
| wxl | glad you're enjoying it so much :) | 17:49 |
| Ev0luti0n_ | wxl: considering it's a netbook from 2009... and had a quantum leap on performance. I can actually watch youtube lag free.. firefox opens within seconds, instead of half a minute.. to name just one thing. lol | 17:57 |

| rjCousineau | Hello, I'm trying to download lubuntu but I get 404 | 19:12 |
| wxl | rjCousineau: from where? | 19:12 |
| rjCousineau | https://lubuntu.net/downloads/ | 19:13 |
| wxl | look at the topic | 19:13 |
| wxl | you'll see .net isn't mentioned anywhere | 19:13 |
| wxl | it's not our website | 19:13 |
| rjCousineau | lol what | 19:13 |
| wxl | look at the license at the bottom of the site | 19:13 |
| wxl | hah they haven't even put up links to 19.10 and that's been out since last september | 19:14 |
| wxl | it's really terrible but they refuse to take it down and insist on confusing people | 19:14 |
| rjCousineau | Thanks for the clarification. Damn pirates.. | 19:19 |

| Pascal_B | hi everybody ! I installed LXQt but I don't know how to switch from LXDE to LXQt : can you help me for it please ? | 21:14 |
| wxl | you can't easily | 21:14 |
| Pascal_B | @wxl : nice, so how can I do ? | 21:15 |
| Pascal_B | is there a guide for it ? | 21:17 |
| wxl | Pascal_B: there should be an lxde metapackage. that's about the best you can do. but it is not customized or maintained by the lubuntu team so again it won't be easy | 21:17 |
| wxl | Pascal_B: frankly lxde is incredibly stale and unmaintained. it wouldn't suggest it on anyone | 21:17 |
| Pascal_B | yes it's for that I want to switch from LXDE to LXQt... | 21:19 |
| Pascal_B | I thought it was simpler | 21:19 |
| wxl | because you want to see how bad it is? | 21:19 |
| Pascal_B | I currently work on LXDE, it's not amazing but relatively stable | 21:20 |
| wxl | i didn't say stable. i said stale. | 21:21 |
| kryten | Pascal_B: What Lubuntu version fwiw? | 21:21 |
| Pascal_B | yes I understood. I work on 18.04 LTS | 21:21 |
| kryten | Figured. | 21:21 |
| wxl | uh | 21:21 |
| wxl | 18.04 *IS* lxde | 21:22 |
| Pascal_B | what ? | 21:22 |
| wxl | 18.04 comes with LXDE installed | 21:24 |
| Pascal_B | by default I should have LXQt installed but when I installed the distro, I didn't have choice | 21:24 |
| wxl | not LXQt | 21:24 |
| wxl | the version of LXQt in 18.04 is not really ready for prime time | 21:24 |
| Pascal_B | you have complete lxqt packages available in the distro | 21:25 |
| Pascal_B | I installed them but I don't know how switch from LXDE to LXQt... | 21:25 |
| wxl | they weren't really in a really stable usable state, which is why we didn't offer them as the default in 18.04 | 21:26 |
| wxl | if you want to try LXQt, install 19.10 | 21:26 |
| wxl | if you're really intent on switching between the two in 18.04, the session manager should offer an LXQt session as it does an LXDE, Openbox, and Lubuntu (default) session | 21:27 |
| Pascal_B | yes I thought it but when I arrive on logon window it doesn't work I can select LXQt but after entered I have nothing | 21:29 |
| wxl | i would call LXQt in 18.04 unsupported by the Lubuntu team in case that wasn't obvious | 21:31 |
| Pascal_B | so you think I can't use it on 18.04 and I have to update my distro to 19.10 ? | 21:33 |
| wxl | LXQt is, at best, experimental in 18.04. i would not call it usable. that is why we did not release 18.04 with LXQt. | 21:36 |
| wxl | it was our goal, but ultimately we were unable to realize it | 21:36 |
| Pascal_B | ok so I have to consider I can't use LXQt on this version ? so how can I update y distro from 18.04 to 19.10 please ? | 21:40 |
| wxl | correct. `do-release-upgrade` should do the trick | 21:44 |
| kryten | Pascal_B: 1.) You could try out the 20.04 Beta on a USB stick right now. 2.) If you decide that you want it, I'd do a fresh install when it's released next week - since the move to another desktop environment is gonna leave a lot of cruft behind otherwise. | 21:47 |
| wxl | oh right | 21:47 |
| wxl | i forgot about that | 21:47 |
| wxl | the lxqt version of lubuntu isn't the lxde version with a different desktop environment. it's a completely revamped system with all different applications | 21:47 |
| wxl | so the transition between the two versions is not going to go without a hitch | 21:48 |
| wxl | probably due to the bug there | 21:50 |
| Pascal_B | ok when you talk about "fresh install" do you mean complete reinstall from scratch (with HDD formatting) ? | 21:50 |
| kryten | Yes, basically. | 21:53 |
| kryten | (The formatting part depends on your current scheme.) | 21:54 |
| kryten | You could even install it alongside your current system then. | 21:54 |
| Pascal_B | yes but I mean I can't reuse a part of 18.04 version ? | 21:55 |
| wxl | you could, but it's goig to be a big ugly mess | 21:55 |
| Pascal_B | yes of course, thanks for the precision | 21:56 |
| Pascal_B | and when do you think the 20.04 will be stable ? | 21:56 |
| wxl | i mean it pretty much already is but it's set to be released on the 23rd | 21:56 |
| Pascal_B | ok so you advise me to wait for the 23rd ? | 22:02 |
| wxl | no you could install it now | 22:04 |
| wxl | or if you're really worried about it, install 19.10 and upgrade to 20.04 on the 23rd | 22:04 |
| Pascal_B | ok I will try this second solution. can I consider that 'do-release-ugrade' is enough and I don't need to exec previous command like 'apt update', 'apt remove' | 22:08 |
| Pascal_B | and others... | 22:08 |
| Pascal_B | ? | 22:08 |
| wxl | it should do that as part of the process | 22:10 |
| Pascal_B | ok thank you for all your advices | 22:11 |
