| pcmc3a | Hi, I have been using Lubuntu for around 5 months now, without any issues. | 05:20 |
|---|---|---|
| pcmc3a | Today, while booting up, my screen flickered and I saw a bunch of messages. | 05:21 |
| pcmc3a | Something like 'process on hold while startup job finishes', 'kernel crash report' etc. I was able to sign in to my system after a few attempts by tapping the return key at bootup when those messages appeared. Has anyone faced a similar situation? Thanks. | 05:22 |
| chieta | is there any livecd for testing? | 07:39 |

| tomreyn | chieta: the installers are also live cds | 08:00 |

| cool_skeleton_95 | I don’t think so, how would I do that? | 17:07 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> You can enable it in the session settings. We have some information in our manual: https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/3/3.2/3.2.13/session_settings.html?highlight=compton | 17:10 |

| cool_skeleton_95 | Thanks! One more question: once I enable it, is there any kind of configuration that I need to do to ensure that the issue is resolved? | 17:13 |

| cool_skeleton_95 | I have started Compton on my computer, and was just noticing that when using Firefox, that scrolling through webpages felt a little 'jittery'. Is this a known side effect of Compton? | 18:26 |
| cool_skeleton_95 | Its not a big deal, i was just wondering. | 18:27 |

| cool_skeleton_95 | ok, thanks for your help | 18:32 |
| Svante_A | Good day! | 18:59 |
| Svante_A | So, I updated my Lubuntu laptop last night, version 18.04.5, and today, after a reboot, it no longer loads properly. I just get some kind of eternal loop with a flashing screen after initializing | 19:01 |
| Svante_A | After the update, it did say something about no more support for 32 bit systems. Is this my problem? | 19:01 |
| cool_skeleton_95 | Lubuntu 20.04 does not support 32-bit | 19:01 |
| cool_skeleton_95 | operating systems | 19:01 |
| Svante_A | So, I inadvertantly upgraded to 20.04? | 19:03 |
| cool_skeleton_95 | I'm not sure, I thought that was what you were implying when you say you updated | 19:06 |
| Svante_A | Haha, I ran apt-get update. Didn't figure it would try and install a whole new version. | 19:07 |
| Svante_A | No soup, huh? I'll keep trying repairs. Bizarre problem. | 19:17 |
| Pascal_B | hello everybody, I've just installed 20.04 LTS and I'm not able to reboot. When I launch it from LXDt, the screen seems to freeze on the dark window | 19:33 |
| Pascal_B | with points of progression | 19:34 |
| Pascal_B | could you help me please ? Thanks | 19:34 |
| Pascal_B | not LXDt but LXQt... | 19:36 |
| Svante_A | Hmmm... Well Pascal_B, that seems pretty similar to my problem. | 19:41 |
| tomreyn | Svante_A: "apt-get update" doesn't make any changes to the installed software | 19:56 |
| tomreyn | ift just rfreshes the liust of available software packages | 19:56 |
| tomreyn | it just refreshes the list of available software packages << same, but with less typos | 19:56 |
| Svante_A | Sure, then you run the Software Updater, right? | 19:56 |
| Svante_A | Haha, yes, I gathered. Quick typing anyway. ;) | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | update-manager itself also installs updates only, by default, though it may offer you to start a release upgrade if one is available. | 19:57 |
| Svante_A | By now, I have run the upgrade, and may have done so last night. Can't remember. It gave me the message about 18.04.05 having limited life and something about no continued support for 32 bit systems... | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | do you know whether you had a 32-bit lubuntu installation, thgouh? | 19:59 |
| Svante_A | Sure did. | 19:59 |
| Svante_A | Had to. It's a 32-bit laptop. ;) | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | i'm not familiar with this very message. ideally, 18.04 i686 should not offer a release upgrade to 20.04 | 20:00 |
| Svante_A | Hmmm, interesting. I have left to just try a reinstall. Just hoping it would be easier. | 20:01 |
| tomreyn | but indeed, the support span of flavours is often shorter than for the main flavour | 20:01 |
| tomreyn | !eol | 20:01 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 20:01 |
| tomreyn | lubuntu 18.04 LTS is supported until april 2021 | 20:02 |
| tomreyn | after this point, the only way to get continued support for i686 is to switch to install ubuntu 18.04, which would provide support until 2023 | 20:03 |
| tomreyn | - "to switch" | 20:03 |
| tomreyn | i do not know whether ESM will provide support for i686 18.04 | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | (my guess is "no") | 20:04 |
| Svante_A | Right. Good. Well, it leads me back to my current issue, then. It goes from GRUB, to the splash screen, to the quick login script... Then the monitor just seems to toggle on and off, with a little harddrive flashing, ad infinitum. | 20:06 |
| Svante_A | I "nomodeset" the splash screen so I could get to the command line, and THAT works. Meaning it's LXTE? | 20:13 |
| Svante_A | LXDE, rather? | 20:14 |
| Svante_A | Command line says I still have 18.04.5, BTW. | 20:17 |
| krytarik | Rather it indicates that there might be issues with the graphics driver. | 20:18 |
| * tomreyn randomly guesse son nvidia | 20:23 | |
| Svante_A | Um, Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller | 20:27 |
| Svante_A | Right, so, it worked before my last update. Any idea about why it doesn't now? | 20:50 |
| Svante_A | I'm still having trouble launching the GUI in Lubuntu 18.04.5 after my last update. I don't really know where to go from here. The command line works. | 22:19 |
| wxl | Svante_A: i would honestly suggest you start thinking about another distro. once april rolls around, the entirety of the ubuntu project will be without a single distro supporting 32 bit and packages are very limited. | 22:23 |
| wxl | Svante_A: that said, if you want to diagnose this further, assuming "the command line" is a virtual terminal, it sounds like you have x running, so that's good. dig around in the logs (/var/log or use `journalctl`) and see if you can find any errors | 22:24 |
| Svante_A | Thanks. That's a mess. Might just reinstall from the boot disk. | 22:56 |
