DarkTrickcan we already upgrade savely to xubuntu 20?09:37
Unit193Technically not until .109:42
DarkTrickUnit193, "until .1"?09:43
DarkTrickah 20.1009:43
DarkTrickIs there a way to check which application versions are used in the repos for 20 at the moment?09:44
Unit193!ltsupgrade09:44
ubottuRegular upgrades from the last but one LTS release to the latest LTS release, 20.04 "Focal Fossa", are enabled days or weeks after 20.04.1 is released. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d09:44
DarkTrickThere is this nasty bug in libreoffice and I want to check if the new ubuntu supplies a newer version09:45
Unit193If you are running 18.04, yes libreoffice is newer.09:46

DarkTrickUnit193, thank you!10:14
Unit193!eoan10:18
ubottuUbuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) was the 31st release of Ubuntu, support ended July 2020. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-July/005494.html10:18
Unit193Should really upgrade, since it is EOL..10:18
DarkTrickhmmm "Technically not until .1" ?10:21
DarkTrickI guess I should block a weekend then :/10:21
Unit193DarkTrick: I figured, since you were asking about how safe it was at this point, that you'd be running the last LTS.  The normal releases aren't really meant long term, and it's presumed users will jump shortly after a new release (hence 9 month support.)10:24
DarkTrickUnit193, Thank you :)10:25
Unit193Happy to help.10:27
xu-irc87wHi10:45
xu-irc87wI am currently with kubuntu, I have a partition just /home and a partition for /10:46
xu-irc87wset*10:46
xu-irc87wwhen installing xubuntu, if I keep partition mapping the same, it would retain my files?10:47
DarkTrickxu-irc87w, "if I keep partition mapping the same": you mean if you install it on the same partition as kubuntu is installed?11:07
r4ulrmxu-irc87w: just be sure NOT tick the format option on the /home partition when reinstalling11:10
r4ulrmand you must recreate the previous users in /home after finish installing11:12
xu-irc87wawesome11:17
DarkTrickand maybe make a backup beforehand? :)11:23
xu-irc87wright that's also a good idea11:25
xu-irc87wanyway i tested XFCE on USB boot and wow what a difference, kubuntu is not performing well for me11:26
xu-irc87wi do most of my work inside firefox11:26
xu-irc87wand I got a fairly decent laptop, lenovo T470 i711:27
xu-irc87wby the way is there a big differnce between linux mint xfce and ubuntu xfce?11:27
pmjdebruijnno clue11:48
* pmjdebruijn just recalls mint made some very dubious changes in the past11:49
xu-irc87wheh11:58
pmjdebruijnso I'm not confident in how Mint is run as a project12:00
