[02:09] <POLOX> Hello
[02:09] <teward> greetings!
[02:09] <POLOX> greetings
[02:10] <POLOX> I am new using linux with lubuntu
[02:11] <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
[02:12] <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
[02:13] <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 ?
[02:15] <POLOX> by the way I forgot to mention that the fn key only works when I use the magic sysrq
[02:16] <POLOX> but not when I use it with ALT F2  for getting xkill box
[02:21] <POLOX> Well it seems that everyone is bussy right now ,anyways thanks
[02:22] <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
 no worries :)
 which lubuntu release do you have?  So we know which release of Lubuntu we're working with for testing/debugging
 (alt+f2 does nothing in 20.04 and later it seems, per my 20.04 and 20.10 testing VMs)
[02:25] <POLOX> hi Lubot is the last one
[02:25] <POLOX> it is the same that you just mentioned
 hmmm
[02:27] <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
 alt+f2 doesn't work, win+r does.
 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
 win+r is the alternative
 or Super + R rather
 from THAT, xkill works as expected
[02:30] <POLOX> you were right
[02:30] <POLOX> I typed win + r and it showed up
 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
 nah, I just ran a check on the documentation :P
[02:30] <POLOX> very smart of you
[02:31] <POLOX> sorry friend what is the SUPER key that you just said?
 the win key is sometimes called the 'super' key
[02:31] <POLOX> Ohhh really?
 win, super, both are synonymous in this case
 because not every keyboard has a 'windows' icon on it ;)
[02:32] <POLOX> goshh I am on diapers yet with lubuntu
[02:32] <POLOX> I mean linux
[02:32] <POLOX> I gotta learn a lot
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <POLOX> ?
[02:34] <kc2bez> Just keep trying things and reading forums, manuals etc. It will happen. POLOX
[02:35] <POLOX> ok I will do it
[02:35] <kc2bez> We have a manual -> manual.lubuntu.me  Forums -> discourse.lubuntu.me
[02:36] <kc2bez> Both of those are great Lubuntu specific places to learn ^
[02:36] <POLOX> Thank you very much
[02:36] <kc2bez> You are welcome.
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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?
 for the most part, yes.
[02:39] <POLOX> cool
 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
[02:40] <POLOX> My laptop has only 2 gb of ram , I really wanted to instal it ubuntu , but the specs stopped me to do it
 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
 4GB is bare minimum to make pure Ubuntu working (and I would know i test/use that myself)
 Lubuntu works well on 1GB minimum RAM
[02:41] <POLOX> it is a pitty dont you think ? because I have read that two releases ago Ubuntu minimun requiriments were 2 gb
[02:42] <POLOX> it is like if it wanted to compete with windows 10
[02:42] <POLOX> or so
 that's a discussion for another time/area
[02:42] <POLOX> oh sorry
 because WIn10 doesn't run smoothly for things on even 2GB RAM anymore ;)
 but i digress, that's for #lubuntu-offtopic :)
 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
[02:44] <POLOX> for really spent your time to help me
[02:44] <POLOX> Well , the mistery of the xkill box has  been solved
[02:45] <POLOX> thanks againg guys , I must go now to keep learning about the lubuntu or LINUX world
[02:45] <POLOX> bye bye guys
