[15:41] <guest00100> Hello together, i upgraded from lubuntu 20xy LTS to 21.04 for testing wayland but can not find the way to activate it. In the login screen there is no option for using wayland. How can I activate wayland?
 Lubuntu doesn't have a wayland session. LXQt is not wayland ready.
 https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/10
[15:46] <dsc_> only 10 issues in lxqt's lifetime
[15:46] <dsc_> impressive!
 There are more issues than that it is just the wayland issue is number 10.
[15:47] <guest00100> Thats bad, but thanks. I read in an article of a linux magazine about the wayland support -.-'
 Do you have a link to that?
[15:48] <guest00100> sure: https://www.heise.de/news/Ubuntu-21-04-Neuer-Versuch-mit-Wayland-aber-ohne-Gnome-40-6025255.html
[15:50] <oerheks> that would be gnome-ubuntu, kc2bez is correct
 Most of the flavors have not switched to wayland. Many things are not wayland ready.
[16:01] <guest00100> is it possible to install gdm3 on lubuntu to use wayland? I want to try waydroid which needs wayland.
[16:03] <oerheks> gdm3 would pull in gnome desktop, or short ubuntu-desktop.
[16:03] <oerheks> then yes, you could test gnome
[16:03] <apt-ghetto> It should be possible to use GDM as login manager, but you cannot run a desktop with wayland, if the desktop does not support wayland
[16:06] <guest00100> Mhh i like lubuntu for its small desktop. I think I have to find another way for my problem. Thank you for your help!
[16:06] <apt-ghetto> My favourite and small Wayland window manager is Sway.
[16:07] <guest00100> Uhhh, i will have a look for it.
[16:08] <apt-ghetto> Sway is a tiling window manager. You can install Sway alongside Lubuntu and with GDM choose the session you want.
[16:08] <guest00100> that looks great. I will give it a try
[16:08] <apt-ghetto> Maybe SDDM is also able to launch a Sway session

[20:16] <faLUKE> hello. I have lubuntu on an usb stick and an usb external drive. I want to install lubuntu on the external drive. When I click on "install lubuntu" of the live version, the external usb drive is shown in the list for installation, but, even if it's selected, I can't click on "next" button.  I can Only manually create partitions, but I dunno how to proceed... what could I do?

[20:18] <faLUKE> just solved, I had to unmount the drive. nm
 Sorry I was just reading your question. Removable media gets automounted and you need to unmount it as you figured out.
[20:20] <faLUKE> lubot: yeah, anyway it seems a little bug in the installation gui
[20:21] <faLUKE> kc2bez: ^
 Not really, you can write to it if the volume is busy so you have to unmount it. Something should probably warn you that you have removable media mounted before the installer though.
 *can't
[20:26] <faLUKE> kc2bez: I think it is. the GUI should prompt that the device must be unmounted if you want to proceed
[20:26] <faLUKE> otherwise it's nonsense
[20:26] <faLUKE> this is what I meant with "little bug"
 Right, I agree we have a task for that. It needs to happen before the installer begins though. I think it needs to be like a launcher for the installer that checks that all the right conditions are met.
 none has an idea? (re @Michaël: )
 Are anyone here use Caps Lock (and other keys) indicator for Lubuntu …❔
[22:31] <sem> i'm using lubuntu at the moment, and I have a caps lock key with a little light that turns on
[22:31] <sem> I also have a num lock indicator
 I don't think you can. Steam won't be able to launch them if you remove the desktop file. (re @Michaël: none has an idea?)
[22:57] <vmontro> ciao
 İn Windows Steam has a main application, where all the games can be installed and started. İ am not certain, but İ guess, the Linux version of Steam has the same function.
 @Michaël İ have no clue, but you can search about "add search entry in lubuntu" and see, where these entries are stored. Then delete them (or better to just move them to another folder, so you have a backup, if something goes wrong) (re @kc2bez: I don't think you can. Steam won't be able to launch them if you remove the desktop file.)
