Regarding Ubuntu 19.10 Kernel 5.3.0.-19 does not work. My system updated with a 5.3.0-22 kernel and it also does not work. Kernel 5.0.0-32 does work.

You should start with Arch's Beginner's Guide, and follow it precisely--don't miss a step. Watch for typos. IMO, it might be a good idea installing it on Virtualbox first before committing an...

Edit: :redface: Oh, duh..... On Vbox it removed lubuntu-desktop when i removed abiword.. with no apparent difference in performance. luuntu-core still remained.

I have Lubuntu installed on my...

I am booting Arch from Ubuntu using this line in my custom grub (06_custom). Arch is my toy distro. I don't rely on it
for day to day computer work. Just fun to play with, but can't rely on it...

Thanks to all. NTFS file storage for a Linux user sounds complicated. The only problem with FAT32 is that it won't store a 5GB vbox ova file. i may go back to FAT32.

@mastablaster I wish I had read the replies a little closer before deleting the FAT32 partition. Oh well, next time..... ](*,)

Thanks to all for the helpful information.
:)

Thanks for the information. NTFS has more advantages than I thought, and disadvantages I wasn't aware of. I have Windows 7, but only go to it for updating purposes.

I had thought about using an...

I have been happily storing important files in a FAT32 partition for years. I ran across a problem when I tried to retrieve a 5 GB file (A Virtualbox ova file) to be used in Vbox on Ubuntu.

So I...

Thanks to all who replied. For my purposes I think the server edition cd will work fine for me,even though I have no intentions of creating a server.

IMO the server edition is faster (maybe...

@ oldfred that post i was referring to is dated May 21, 2011. 12.04 not available then. The article also says The Server Edition uses the Deadline I/O scheduler instead of the CFQ scheduler used by...

I have installed the server edition (14.04 64 bit) and mini.iso in my Virtualbox. On the server edition I choose manual install and install xorg, some essential apps and lxde.

I haven t noticed...

I have not had many problems with 13.04 (other than self-created ones). In Synaptic Package Manager completely remove the 31 kernel and then reinstall it.

If you don't have Synaptic, install it...

I might have had that problem in my custom script. Completely redoing the 06_custom from scratch apparently took care of the problem. I wonder if the error on line 91 of grub.cfg.new (which...

I couldn' find any syntax problems.

However, I went back into my 12.04 64 bit made a new 06_custom from from 40_custom, following the url ...

I have been using a custom grub menu in /etc/grub.d called 06_custom.

It has been working fine until late last week. I have Ubuntu 12.04 32 and 64 bit, Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit, Windows 7, and two Arch...

Sounds like a toss up. I ended up installing lxde and have the panel,wallpaper, and keyboard shortcuts they way I like them. I have tried gnome-fallback, gnome, xubuntu and find them too slow. ...

I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed. I want to play with Lubuntu/LXDE.

I understand that support for Lubuntu expires in October.

Would I better better off to install lxde instead of lubuntu-desktop...

Sorry for post. just noticed it was listed as solved



A related question, since Lubuntu is only supported until October 2013, would I be better off to install lxde instead of lubuntu-desktop? I...

For kicks, I installed mini.iso in Virtualbox, and built it up. Experimented with openbox, icewm, window maker, and e17. They all work. Way to go if you want to go minimal.

If you have the HD...

I restored the global menu. HUD seems to be working now. Looks like this feature is more for the power user, but for me it is easier just to use the application menu. I will continue to play with...

@Frogshair. Thanks.

I am wondering if disabling the global menu setting changes the HUD response somehow?

Yes, I would have to know the proper "keywords".

It looks like HUD is probably a work in progress. Probably more for the more advanced user right now.

Probably it needs to be idiot...

@frogshair
Thanks. I had firefox up and entered his (for history). For some reason entering "history" I had no choices. With his, all I got were things pertaining to network. I closed firefox and...

@ cool110
Thanks for the reply. Now at least I know one thing about HUD.

After resolving the problem of my custom keyboard shortcuts not working as I have used Alt + a letter to launch my apps, I have reassigned HUD to Alt + L.

After playing with it on my desktop for a...
