| teward | greetings! | 02:09 |
| POLOX | greetings | 02:09 |
| POLOX | I am new using linux with lubuntu | 02:10 |
| POLOX | and I would like some help please , I have a hp elitebook laptop and I have tried as much as I could for 3 days to run the xkill box by typing the ALT F2 keys | 02:11 |
| POLOX | even with the fn key I have googled answers and I can | 02:12 |
| POLOX | i really gave up , I dont know what else to do | 02:12 |
| POLOX | I also tried to add a shortcut keyboard command but it is very different to ubuntu | 02:13 |
| POLOX | to make it | 02:13 |
| POLOX | what should I do guys , shoud I just give up ? | 02:13 |
| POLOX | by the way I forgot to mention that the fn key only works when I use the magic sysrq | 02:15 |
| POLOX | but not when I use it with ALT F2 for getting xkill box | 02:16 |
| POLOX | Well it seems that everyone is bussy right now ,anyways thanks | 02:21 |
| teward | you just need some patience, this is a slower time of the day here on the IRC | 02:22 |
| POLOX | Ohh sorry I didnt know it at all | 02:22 |
| POLOX | my bad | 02:22 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> no worries :) | 02:22 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> which lubuntu release do you have? So we know which release of Lubuntu we're working with for testing/debugging | 02:24 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> (alt+f2 does nothing in 20.04 and later it seems, per my 20.04 and 20.10 testing VMs) | 02:24 |
| POLOX | hi Lubot is the last one | 02:25 |
| POLOX | it is the same that you just mentioned | 02:25 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> hmmm | 02:25 |
| POLOX | so , by you are saying it seems something that lubuntu has taken off in this new release | 02:27 |
| POLOX | right? | 02:27 |
| POLOX | I am running it on a real laptop | 02:27 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> alt+f2 doesn't work, win+r does. | 02:27 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> that's because alt+f2 isn't the proper command to get the 'run' box/popup in 20.04+ | 02:28 |
| POLOX | gosh | 02:28 |
| POLOX | what a pitty | 02:28 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> win+r is the alternative | 02:29 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> or Super + R rather | 02:29 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> from THAT, xkill works as expected | 02:29 |
| POLOX | you were right | 02:30 |
| POLOX | I typed win + r and it showed up | 02:30 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> i think there's a way to switch it back but I don't know what it is off the top of my head | 02:30 |
| POLOX | you are a genius | 02:30 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> nah, I just ran a check on the documentation :P | 02:30 |
| POLOX | very smart of you | 02:30 |
| POLOX | sorry friend what is the SUPER key that you just said? | 02:31 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> the win key is sometimes called the 'super' key | 02:31 |
| POLOX | Ohhh really? | 02:31 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> win, super, both are synonymous in this case | 02:31 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> because not every keyboard has a 'windows' icon on it ;) | 02:31 |
| POLOX | goshh I am on diapers yet with lubuntu | 02:32 |
| POLOX | I mean linux | 02:32 |
| POLOX | I gotta learn a lot | 02:32 |
| POLOX | how long do you think that it will take me to learn the enough of linux to feel myself confident | 02:33 |
| POLOX | in order to do anything on any distro | 02:33 |
| POLOX | ? | 02:34 |
| kc2bez | Just keep trying things and reading forums, manuals etc. It will happen. POLOX | 02:34 |
| POLOX | ok I will do it | 02:35 |
| kc2bez | We have a manual -> manual.lubuntu.me Forums -> discourse.lubuntu.me | 02:35 |
| kc2bez | Both of those are great Lubuntu specific places to learn ^ | 02:36 |
| POLOX | Thank you very much | 02:36 |
| kc2bez | You are welcome. | 02:36 |
| POLOX | I have noticed something on the web , that there is little info about lubuntu for getting , it is more about ubuntu results what one can find | 02:37 |
| kc2bez | The base of Lubuntu is Ubuntu so many of the commands you find will work. | 02:38 |
| POLOX | I feel like lubuntu were outcasted | 02:38 |
| POLOX | Ahh ok | 02:38 |
| POLOX | so anything I do in ubuntu I will be able to do it in LUBUNTU? | 02:38 |
| POLOX | right? | 02:38 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> for the most part, yes. | 02:38 |
| POLOX | cool | 02:39 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> i say 'for the most part' because the GUI approach to thigns is slightly different in Lubuntu vs. Ubuntu | 02:39 |
| POLOX | Yeah , I have noticed that | 02:39 |
| POLOX | My laptop has only 2 gb of ram , I really wanted to instal it ubuntu , but the specs stopped me to do it | 02:40 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> yeah Lubuntu's going to be what you want if yo're under 4GB of RAM | 02:40 |
| POLOX | but I saw on youtube that an indian guy installed in a 2gb ram laptop | 02:40 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> 4GB is bare minimum to make pure Ubuntu working (and I would know i test/use that myself) | 02:40 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> Lubuntu works well on 1GB minimum RAM | 02:40 |
| POLOX | it is a pitty dont you think ? because I have read that two releases ago Ubuntu minimun requiriments were 2 gb | 02:41 |
| POLOX | it is like if it wanted to compete with windows 10 | 02:42 |
| POLOX | or so | 02:42 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> that's a discussion for another time/area | 02:42 |
| POLOX | oh sorry | 02:42 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> because WIn10 doesn't run smoothly for things on even 2GB RAM anymore ;) | 02:42 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> but i digress, that's for #lubuntu-offtopic :) | 02:42 |
| lubot | [telegram] <teward001> this is why there's multiple flavors of the *buntu OS - Lubuntu being one of the lightest. | 02:43 |
| POLOX | you are an expertise for what I see | 02:43 |
| POLOX | Thanks a lot for everything | 02:43 |
| POLOX | for really spent your time to help me | 02:44 |
| POLOX | Well , the mistery of the xkill box has been solved | 02:44 |
| POLOX | thanks againg guys , I must go now to keep learning about the lubuntu or LINUX world | 02:45 |
| POLOX | bye bye guys | 02:45 |
