| Billy | hey uh, why isnt the download page for lubuntu working | 01:29 |
|---|---|---|
| guiverc | Billy, what issues are you having with https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ ? | 01:30 |
| Billy | also - what is the latest version of lubuntu that supports 32 bit?> | 01:30 |
| Billy | trying to get some use out of an EEE PC 32bit cpu | 01:30 |
| guiverc | Lubuntu is amd64 only now. Lubuntu 18.10 was last i386 fully-released & supported; 19.04 was i386 but only into the alpha cycle (if installed upgrades were for life of 19.04), but Lubuntu 18.04.5 has last supported (until 2021-April) | 01:31 |
| Billy | 18.04 ? | 01:31 |
| Billy | and after that | 01:31 |
| Billy | no more 32 bit support ever? | 01:31 |
| Billy | would it be safe to use? | 01:32 |
| guiverc | We don't support 18.04 though; see https://lubuntu.me/bionic-eol/ (I used an eeepc 1000HE in QA-testing up to 19.04) | 01:32 |
| Billy | i don't even see where i can get 19.04 | 01:32 |
| Billy | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/ | 01:32 |
| guiverc | 32-bit is supported for armv7 but not x86 (or i386 as referred to by both Debian & Ubuntu) | 01:33 |
| guiverc | 19.04 is EOL & thus gone (to old-releases but you won't find 19.04 there) | 01:33 |
| Billy | dang so maybe i need to find a different distro | 01:33 |
| Billy | anything you can recommend? | 01:34 |
| guiverc | you'll find Ubuntu 19.04 in old-releases but it's amd64 only (only xubuntu & lubuntu had i386 past 18.04) | 01:34 |
| Billy | i wanna set this thing up so my mom can use it to play amazon prime | 01:34 |
| Billy | its an eee pc 1025c | 01:34 |
| guiverc | we're off-topic; but personally I QA-tested Debian 11 on some x86 boxes; I'd opt for Debian but no idea with streaming (asus eepc really lacked power; mine was intel atom so it was energy efficient but crawled) | 01:35 |
| Billy | oh wait | 01:35 |
| Billy | is mine actually 64 bit???? | 01:35 |
| Billy | Intel CedarTrail Atom N2800, 1.86 GHz | 01:36 |
| Billy | wow | 01:36 |
| Billy | really??? | 01:36 |
| Billy | i think it is! | 01:36 |
| guiverc | we don't support debian (debian 11/bullseye releases in mere days; thus the QA-testing of it) | 01:36 |
| Billy | guiverc can you tell me if i'm wrong here but | 01:38 |
| Billy | https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/58917/intel-atom-processor-n2800-1m-cache-1-86-ghz.html | 01:38 |
| Billy | is this not telling me it's a 64 bit cpu???? | 01:38 |
| guiverc | yes it's amd64, but that isn't all you need to boot amd64; you also needed the BIOS to be capable of booting amd64 as well - but yes your CPU is amd64 capable | 01:39 |
| Billy | well shit ima try the newest one | 01:39 |
| guiverc | The Lubuntu manual can be found at https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/ (stable=21.04; change stable to lts for the LTS release or 20.04) which provides clues on download & writing to media for testing on your actual box | 01:40 |
| Billy | oh i know how to do all that | 01:41 |
| Billy | i'm on a windows PC i just use Rufus to make my boot medfia | 01:42 |
| guiverc | ensure you use legit sites as well; download page not working implies you went to a *fan* or *fake* site and not a legimate one (don't ask google; go to ubuntu.com for official sites) | 01:42 |
| guiverc | https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours will send you to legimate sites; google for example offers 3 to download Lubuntu & you need to pick the legit site yourself from what's offered | 01:43 |
| Billy | no i'll show you the thing that wasnt working | 01:43 |
| Billy | hold on | 01:43 |
| Billy | also FYI I work with IT stuff for a living | 01:43 |
| Billy | ok | 01:44 |
| Billy | so if you go here: | 01:44 |
| Billy | https://lubuntu.net/downloads/ | 01:44 |
| guiverc | that is NOT a Lubuntu site | 01:44 |
| Billy | oh rly | 01:44 |
| Billy | ok f*ck me | 01:44 |
| Billy | well my download is here | 01:44 |
| Billy | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/21.04/release/ | 01:44 |
| guiverc | It's not under Canonical, Ubuntu or Lubuntu control.. We can't control unofficial, fake or fan sites | 01:44 |
| Billy | so we're ok | 01:44 |
| guiverc | (Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu) | 01:45 |
| guiverc | that is what is usually treated as a 'fan' site; outdated usually, but to my knowledge other than having very old links, doesn't give fraudulent ISOs as directs to ubuntu.com for actual downloads | 01:46 |
| Billy | jeez | 01:46 |
| Billy | i feel so dumb | 01:46 |
| Billy | welp | 02:31 |
| Billy | i boot from the install media | 02:31 |
| Billy | i get a list | 02:31 |
| Billy | I select Lubuntu or Lubuntu safe and i get | 02:31 |
| Billy | error: symbol 'grub_rregister_command | 02:31 |
| Billy | error: symbol 'grub_rregister_command_lockdown' not found | 02:31 |
| Billy | nvm found the issue | 02:32 |
| Billy | have to use a newer RUFUS | 02:33 |
| Billy | well i'm not getting any error but i just got a blanks creen with a blinking _, we'll give it a bit | 02:45 |
| Billy | yeah nothin, mess with it tomororw. | 03:02 |
| guiverc | Billy, refer https://askubuntu.com/questions/1333512/error-symbol-grub-register-command-lockdown-not-found-when-installing-ubuntu | 04:35 |
| guiverc | okay ; you 'found the issue' which maybe the same link... | 04:36 |

| ChinaisSOY | How do I RANDOMIZE my ETHERNET MAC address on my Raspberry PI Debian Buster Lite? | 19:32 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Halis> Which network manager do you use? | 22:30 |
| tomreyn | if you're responding to ChinaisSOY - they're gone. if you're doing a poll - please don't. | 22:34 |
| tomreyn | and if you have a non poll lubuntu question, just ask. ;) | 22:34 |
| TJ- | that's very poll-ist! | 22:37 |
