[07:11] <SmallPPperson> hello all
[07:12] <SmallPPperson> ChanServ can you give documentation for 18.04
[07:12] <SmallPPperson> Eickmeyer
[07:12] <SmallPPperson> ANYONE PLS HELP
[12:49] <paradis> hi
[12:49] <paradis> I'm looking for an OS for my 2GB 1GHz 2012 laptop
[12:50] <paradis> something that I can boot up from my harddisk. not pendrive
[13:19] <dre_mert> paradis as you ask this question in this channel, I assume you preclude Lubuntu?? Because Lubuntu 18.04 should be able to manage your system....
[13:43] <dre_mert> Lubuntu 18.04 32bit will be supported until April 2023
[13:47] <kc2bez> dre_mert: Lubuntu 18.04 is only supported until April 2021
[13:53] <dre_mert> 32bit gets updates til '23
[13:54] <kc2bez> The base will get updates until 2023 but support for the desktop will end.
[13:54] <kc2bez> Only main Ubuntu has support until 2023
[13:55] <kc2bez> The flavors are only for 3 years.
[13:55] <dre_mert> ok that wasnt clear thx
[16:49] <Eickmeyer[m]> dre_mert: It's 100% clear per the release notes: https://lubuntu.me/bionic-5-released/
[17:03] <dre_mert> Eickmeyer[m] if you type 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and geht s.th. like 'Updates for Ubuntu 18.04 will continue until April 2023.' ... ...
[17:03] <Eickmeyer[m]> dre_mert: The official documentation is the official documentation.
[17:06] <Eickmeyer[m]> Notice it doesn't say "Updates for Lubuntu 18.04".
[17:07] <dre_mert> ...thats the point I think - yes
[17:07] <Eickmeyer[m]> The release notes are always the single source of truth.
[19:55] <moveslow> Hello everyone! I have a question, I need to setup a supervisor password in BIOS to be able to boot from a CD/USB stick, but do I need to type this password everytime when I boot my laptop or it's only for BIOS?
[22:06] <KGIII> @moveslow, you shouldn't. You shouldn't even need to use a password to select the boot device - unless you set it up that way. There are so many BIOS options these days that I can't possibly know them all, but you should be able to just select the USB as a single-time boot device (often with F12) and then install the OS. After that, the boot manager should take care of it for you.
[22:41] <moveslow> KGIII: Thank you! :)
[23:06] <KGIII> Sorry for not answering sooner. We're all on different time schedules around here. Good luck with your installation. Lubuntu is a pretty great distro.
