| helpme | I have a question | 10:31 |
|---|---|---|
| helpme | is it safe to run apt-get autoremove in lubuntu? | 10:31 |
| lubot | <FedeBosio> AFAIK, yes, it is. | 17:00 |
| RyuKurisu[m] | <lubot "<FedeBosio> AFAIK, yes, it is."> I agree. It *should* only remove packages that aren't needed anymore, like old kernels or old dependencies. | 17:47 |
| krytarik | Mildly hilarious though to respond to a user who probably left like 7 hours ago already.. XD | 17:53 |
| lubot | <FedeBosio> Sure XD but whatever... | 18:13 |
| krytarik | I know, you're all doing it just for the records, right!? :P | 18:17 |
| tomreyn | karma++ | 18:20 |
| krytarik | That reminds me of the Launchpad one, which became utterly irrelevant since they've started supporting Git.. >_> | 18:22 |
| krytarik | But yeah, somebody might look at the (back) log indeed! | 18:23 |
| cousteau | Hi! What's the recommended way to test LXDE on a regular Ubuntu install? Google suggests to install lxde / lubuntu-desktop / lubuntu-core, depending on who you ask. I don't know the differences. | 23:18 |
| guiverc | cousteau, what release are you asking about? | 23:19 |
| cousteau | 20.04 | 23:19 |
| guiverc | lubuntu-desktop on 20.04 refers to LXQt, ubuntu-core doesn't exist past 18.04/bionic | 23:20 |
| guiverc | LXDE isn't supported by Lubuntu after bionic/18.04 | 23:20 |
| guiverc | s/ubuntu-core/lubuntu-core sorry | 23:21 |
| cousteau | I guess lxde installs only the desktop environment and nothing else, lubuntu-desktop provides all the default programs which come with the lubuntu install cd, and lubuntu-core is some midpoint that installs LXDE and some strictly recommended prog-- | 23:22 |
| cousteau | --oh | 23:22 |
| guiverc | lubuntu-core was last produced in bionic (`rmadison lubuntu-core` to see releases if you have that enabled) | 23:22 |
| cousteau | ok so Lubuntu now uses LXQt instead of LXDE, so definitely I don't want to install `lxde` | 23:22 |
| cousteau | and the -core was for an older version | 23:23 |
| guiverc | Lubuntu 18.04 was the last release using LXDE, 18.10 on up are LXQt; Lubuntu-Next ceased as main Lubuntu is now LXQt | 23:23 |
| cousteau | ok so if I want to try Lubuntu without installing Lubuntu on a separate partition, the recommended way to go is to install `lubuntu-desktop`? | 23:23 |
| wxl | use a live cd | 23:24 |
| cousteau | ok, s/try/use/ | 23:25 |
| cousteau | or rather, s/try Lubuntu/have a Lubuntu-like desktop/ | 23:25 |
| wxl | well | 23:25 |
| wxl | which lubuntu do you want? what we do now or what we used to be? | 23:26 |
| guiverc | my system started as a Ubuntu desktop install, it has lubuntu-desktop added... it's do-able yes, but it's not as clean an experience | 23:26 |
| wxl | nope, ,not clean at all | 23:26 |
| cousteau | wxl, is "what you used to be" still achievable? Or is it deprecated / unrecommended / unmaintained? | 23:38 |
| cousteau | in any case, I guess "what you do now" is the logical choice | 23:38 |
| cousteau | I guess if I want to have both ubuntu and lubuntu it makes more sense to install lubuntu-desktop on ubuntu than to have a separate partition with lubuntu, right? | 23:40 |
| cousteau | got to go, bye! Thanks for the help :) | 23:42 |
