| OvenWerks | Gruncle: have you tried using muon? | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| * OvenWerks gave up on "software" (the gnome sw installer long ago) | 00:20 | |
| Gruncle | I just tried sudo apt-get update | 00:27 |
| Gruncle | sudo apt-get install muon | 00:27 |
| OvenWerks | I thought studio came with muon | 00:27 |
| Gruncle | Got errors for both. 'unable to locate package muon was the last error' | 00:28 |
| OvenWerks | But then I have studio on top of kubuntu 20.04 | 00:28 |
| Gruncle | I have ubuntu studio 18.10. | 00:29 |
| OvenWerks | That sounds like the package source is set wrong | 00:29 |
| OvenWerks | Ah, so xfce | 00:29 |
| OvenWerks | you would prefer synaptic then | 00:29 |
| OvenWerks | but first you need to get the sw sources set up right | 00:30 |
| Gruncle | Package 'synaptic' has no installation candidate | 00:33 |
| OvenWerks | yeah if the sources are not right that would make sense | 00:34 |
| OvenWerks | Gruncle: in the settings manager there should be a software&updates icon | 00:36 |
| Gruncle | I'm there. Where do I find the APT of the respository? | 00:37 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Uh... the other problem here is that 18.10 went EOL in July 2019. | 00:38 |
| OvenWerks | I am trying to find it with Google... I don't remember which tab even | 00:38 |
| OvenWerks | Ah... right even though it is the last one that has 32 bit | 00:39 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | It's not worth the trouble. Gruncle , the oldest supported release is 20.04. You need to clean-install to that. You could go another route, but it would take hours more. | 00:39 |
| Gruncle | Does EOL mean that it shouldn't work at all? | 00:39 |
| OvenWerks | no it means you can't add software | 00:40 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | EOL means End-Of-Life. Repository was taken offline. It's gone. | 00:40 |
| Gruncle | What would you recommend for using on older hardware? | 00:41 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Gruncle: Ubuntu Studio's purpose is not to work on older hardware. It's strictly for high-performance machines. | 00:41 |
| OvenWerks | debian buster seems to be easiest | 00:42 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | Rather, it's not meant to revive older hardware. | 00:42 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | !eol | 00:42 |
| Eickmeyer[m] | OH, bot's not here yet. | 00:42 |
| OvenWerks | :) | 00:42 |
| krytarik | Eickmeyer[m]: Huh, I'll go request it!.. >_> | 00:49 |
| Eickmeyer | krytarik: Haha | 00:49 |
| krytarik | lol | 00:50 |
| krytarik | Huh, turns out I can actually do it myself - faintly remembered so from the last time and just tried it now.. >_< | 00:57 |
| Eickmeyer | oof | 00:59 |
| taj[m] | for older hardware, I think you're probably best off, in the ubuntu family at least with lubuntu at this point | 12:01 |
| taj[m] | it's probably the most light weight | 12:01 |
