| JoeLlama | is the latest version of lubuntu 19.04? | 01:48 |
| lubot | [telegram] <lynorian> no 21.10 | 01:48 |
| JoeLlama | hrm weird... | 01:49 |
| JoeLlama | I thought so | 01:49 |
| lubot | [telegram] <N0um3n0> You have the last versions in www.lubuntu.me | 01:49 |
| JoeLlama | I go to https://lubuntu.net/downloads/ and it seems to be wrong :( | 01:49 |
| JoeLlama | thanks N0un3n0 | 01:49 |
| lubot | [telegram] <N0um3n0> The official page is lubuntu.me | 01:49 |
| JoeLlama | thanks (: | 01:50 |
| tomreyn | !YY.MM | JoeLlama | 01:50 |
| ubottu | JoeLlama: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle | 01:50 |
| tomreyn | this also applies to Lubuntu | 01:50 |
| kc2bez | It is in the topic here too if you need it later JoeLlama | 01:50 |

| JoeLlama | yup yup tomreyn | 01:53 |
| JoeLlama | I know (: | 01:53 |
| JoeLlama | kinda weird that one site huh? | 01:53 |
| JoeLlama | okay so I also have a 32 bit machine to set up also... | 01:54 |
| JoeLlama | is there 32 bit still? | 01:54 |
| JoeLlama | or wait... I should check it... | 01:54 |
| kc2bez | 32 bit is no more | 01:55 |
| JoeLlama | eep | 01:55 |
| JoeLlama | but I understand | 01:55 |
| JoeLlama | I think these are single core 64 bit though... I will check.. I have 7 of them I think | 01:55 |
| JoeLlama | they still work very well nice little 9 inch laptops | 01:56 |
| tomreyn | there are other distros, some of which still try to support 32-bit x86 | 01:57 |
| tomreyn | but sooner or late they'll have to give up on it, too | 01:57 |
| JoeLlama | yeah I understand tomreyn :/ | 01:57 |
| JoeLlama | these are dell inspiron mini 9 computers | 01:58 |
| JoeLlama | and I have a small pile of mini 10's too (: | 01:58 |
| === genii is now known as genii-core | ||
| JoeLlama | ah intel atom N270 checking | 02:02 |
| JoeLlama | oh might be 32 bit :/ | 02:04 |
| JoeLlama | nutz | 02:04 |
| JoeLlama | blah | 02:10 |
| JoeLlama | okay new question... I have multiple platforms running 20.04... can I use this new iso to just upgrade? | 02:12 |
| JoeLlama | I only connect with linux online now... no windows boxes touch that internet wire here. | 02:12 |
| * JoeLlama can no longer stomach windows | 02:13 | |
| tomreyn | JoeLlama: if you want to more closely control how systems connect to the internet, a local apt proxy may be what you want. | 02:15 |
| tomreyn | the release upgrader usually requires an internet connection, though | 02:15 |
| JoeLlama | hrm? | 02:16 |
| JoeLlama | well how do I tell what version I am at? | 02:16 |
| JoeLlama | using terminal? | 02:16 |
| JoeLlama | I used to know | 02:16 |
| tomreyn | lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version_signature,cmdline} | 02:16 |
| JoeLlama | Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS | 02:17 |
| JoeLlama | Ubuntu 5.11.0-43.47~20.04.2-generic 5.11.22 | 02:17 |
| JoeLlama | so to get that to the latest version using the ISO how is that done? | 02:17 |
| tomreyn | what do you mean by "the latest version"? there are release upgrades, which would increase this version nubmer, and there are normal package updates within a reelease (security and bug fixes mostly) | 02:20 |
| tomreyn | i don't think you can do release upgrades from a cdrom, or not using the default / supported upgrade mechanism | 02:21 |
| JoeLlama | oh ok tomreyn so I just keep updating what I got and when I feel it's time I will just do a completely new installation to get to 20.04? | 02:29 |
| JoeLlama | oops | 02:29 |
| JoeLlama | 21.04 | 02:29 |
| JoeLlama | or what ever version it's at... | 02:29 |
| JoeLlama | I really like lubuntu I don't like bloated OSes | 02:30 |
| JoeLlama | I like simple and fast... I just wanna get the job done it doesn't have to have a fancy gui | 02:30 |
| tomreyn | JoeLlama: 20.04 is an LTS release https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ | 02:30 |
| JoeLlama | right LTS | 02:30 |
| tomreyn | 21.04 is soon EOL | 02:30 |
| JoeLlama | but to get to 21.04 I gotta do a new install right? | 02:30 |
| JoeLlama | there is no simple just upgrading in place from 20.04 to 21.04 right? | 02:31 |
| tomreyn | i'm not sure about the upgrade paths, i don't remember when the LXDE->LXQT switch was, i thinkt here is no upgrade path there | 02:31 |
| JoeLlama | gotcha :) thanks! | 02:32 |
| tomreyn | i assume there *may* be one from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS | 02:32 |
| JoeLlama | oh um... ok | 02:32 |
| JoeLlama | well I am downloading 21.10 now | 02:32 |
| JoeLlama | oh wait... is 21.10 LTS? | 02:32 |
| JoeLlama | wait... what should I install? | 02:33 |
| JoeLlama | for LTS? | 02:33 |
| JoeLlama | ok ok wait I am getting it... for LTS I should not be installing 21.10 right? | 02:33 |
| tomreyn | !LTS | 02:34 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Focal (Focal Fossa 20.04). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information. | 02:34 |
| tomreyn | for lubuntu, LTS support spans are shorter, 3 years, i think | 02:34 |
| JoeLlama | ah gotcha cancelling download thanks | 02:34 |
| tomreyn | next LTS is 22.04 | 02:35 |
| JoeLlama | I get it | 02:35 |
| JoeLlama | so I should download 20.04.3 for now right? that is the latest LTS... | 02:36 |
| * JoeLlama downloads 20.04.3 | 02:37 | |
| tomreyn | what you should or should not do is really very much up to you ;-) | 02:38 |
| tomreyn | as long as you don't cross any laws, i guess | 02:38 |
| JoeLlama | hehehe well if I want lubuntu with LTS then it should be the 20.04..3 straight answers work best for me (: | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | and precise questions best work for me | 02:39 |
| JoeLlama | hee | 02:39 |
| JoeLlama | well that is what I am doing then | 02:39 |
| JoeLlama | since there is no later LTS version | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | yes, if you want the current / latest LTS release now, that's 20.04 | 02:40 |
| JoeLlama | now that is a good answer | 02:40 |
| guiverc | JoeLlama, both Lubuntu 21.10 & 20.04.3 will upgrade to 22.04; there are expected fewer changes if you upgrade from 21.10 to 22.04 as they're far closer; but installing 21.10 will mandate the upgrade to 22.04 within 3 months of 22.04 coming out... Lubuntu 20.04 LTS will mean older software, a far bigger change come upgrade time (potentially more that can go wrong) but you've more time to upgrade (1 year instead of just 3 months). 6 vs. | 02:54 |
| guiverc | half-dozen; no clear winner. | 02:54 |
| JoeLlama | oh thanks guiverc so it will upgrade in place but there of course are opportunities for errors... so if I want less errors it's better to just reinstall, right? | 02:59 |
| JoeLlama | I prefer reinstalling anyways... it's just a pain though. | 03:00 |
| guiverc | pros & cons with everything.. do whatever works for you.. (i often re-install without format on some non-primary boxes inc. during QA-testing for focal/20.04 as 20.04.4 is a current daily) | 03:02 |
| JoeLlama | current daily? | 03:02 |
| guiverc | development releases have daily (really means interval; most of the time it's once per day but can be multiple) ISOs spun... I've zsync'd 2x jammy dailies (ubuntu + lubuntu) so far today for QA-testing.. | 03:04 |
| JoeLlama | heh ok if you say so :) | 03:04 |
| guiverc | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ will allow you to see current QA (Quality Assurance) dailies; focal (20.04.4 is the next release) & jammy (22.04) | 03:04 |
| JoeLlama | oh ok I look | 03:05 |
| JoeLlama | if you know of a way I can get lubuntu to work with NVidia GeForce 8600M please let me know... not sure if NVidia released a new driver update yet or if they ever will. | 03:06 |
| JoeLlama | I have like 20 systems with that graphics chipset on them. | 03:06 |
| JoeLlama | would like to put lubuntu on them | 03:06 |
| JoeLlama | or at least some | 03:06 |
| guiverc | the base of Lubuntu is a Ubuntu one, so whatever works in Ubuntu should be identical in all flavors of Ubuntu (like Lubuntu) | 03:07 |
| JoeLlama | yup | 03:07 |
| JoeLlama | what is jammy? | 03:07 |
| JoeLlama | oic that is the next one | 03:07 |
| guiverc | releases use the codename until they reach RC (release candidate), ie. focal was 20.04, yep jammy will become 22.04 just prior to it's release | 03:08 |
| JoeLlama | nice | 03:08 |
| JoeLlama | that happens in april? | 03:08 |
| guiverc | yep. ETA is 21-April-2022 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-schedule/23906 | 03:09 |
| JoeLlama | cool | 03:09 |
| JoeLlama | oOo a GreenLlama :) | 04:02 |
| dragon_ | hi | 12:30 |
| dragon_ | what pdf editors are there for lubuntu? storing, convering and editing pdf | 12:30 |
| dragon_ | I thought libre could do that, but I can`t find any pdf storage functions | 12:31 |
| dragon_ | oh, export as | 12:40 |
| dragon_ | :- | | 12:40 |
| lubot | [telegram] <motorolae7> why do games run perfectly through wine on Lubuntu than Linux mint? | 13:46 |
| JoeLlama | I dunno but I am using wine right now | 13:51 |
| JoeLlama | I suspect lubuntu has far less processing overhead but I honestly don't know | 13:51 |
| JoeLlama | I run my IRC client under wine and it runs with very few issues | 13:52 |
| JoeLlama | however, the edge at the bottom of the screen is cut off :( | 13:52 |
| JoeLlama | makes it a little hard to see when I am typing down there | 13:52 |

| sem | it's easier to grab the corner and adjust the size of the hexchat window, but harder to grab the corner exactly on firefox. Why might this be? | 16:04 |

| lubot | [telegram] <motorolae7> i was trying to boot windows XP iso with virtual box on Lubuntu and the iso file doesn't get detected by the guest | 19:34 |
| tomreyn | @motorolae7: that would be a virtualbox issue, or, maybe more likely, you're using it wrong. or the iso you have is broken. | 19:36 |
| lubot | [telegram] <motorolae7> i downloaded it from GetMyOS | 19:37 |
| tomreyn | what's the error message, did you load the iso into the virtual cdrom drive? | 19:37 |
| lubot | [telegram] <motorolae7> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/78bb7281/file_3720.jpg | 19:38 |
