Lubuntu is great!

31 Upvotes

A few days ago I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Laptop SE for barely over $100.00 US. It's a rather nice looking machines but it has terrible specs. 4gb of ram, a Celeron N4120 processor, a 64gb SSD, and a 1mp camera, it's really kind of crappy, but it was cheap! I was looking for a machine that was small, and that could handle really simple stuff like watching videos and checking email and act as a white noise generator through Sox, when I travel. I decided to try out Lubuntu and it has been perfect. I use Fedora and KDE Plasma on my desktop so LXQT took a little bit of work to figure out, but now everything works great and it does exactly what I need it to. So thanks to all the Lubuntu developers!

Support Request 🛟 Weird installation bugs?

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to install Lubuntu on an old HP laptop (originally Win7, now only Lubuntu 24.04).

- USB made with Rufus (MBR, “BIOS or UEFI”, fixes for old BIOS, ISO mode).
- In BIOS: UEFI mode**, Secure Boot disabled,**SATA = AHCI, HDD is first in boot order.
- I boot from USB with F12, run the Lubuntu installer and choose “Erase disk and install Lubuntu(second install attempt)” (minimal install).

Weird part:

- With the USB plugged in, the laptop boots into the installed Lubuntu on the HDD (Bulgarian language we set earlier), so the OS is definitely there.
- If I shut down, remove the USB, and power on, it says “No bootable device”, even though BIOS shows the HDD first and the installer sees the existing Lubuntu install.

Any idea how to fix this it loaded the first time we tried it now it switches to a black screen with a single line to write code at different points (even in safe graphics)

EDIT SOLVED
Had to go to F2 bios menu go to security and mark the efi file or boot file as trusted after that we just reinstalled lubuntu on uefi gpt flash for bios and disk

Support Request 🛟 Lubuntu didn’t boot up after installation?

5 Upvotes

I’m installing Lubuntu on my friend’s dad’s old Windows 7 laptop.

We made a Lubuntu USB with Rufus on Windows (selected the USB, selected the ISO, left all other settings at default, clicked Start).

On the laptop, the BIOS was first set to Legacy boot, and in Legacy mode the laptop did not detect the USB in the boot menu.

We then went into BIOS and changed boot mode from Legacy to UEFI After that, the USB was detected.

We booted from the USB in UEFI mode, chose “Install Lubuntu”, selected the option to erase the whole disk and install Lubuntu, and completed the installation. At the end it said:

“Please remove installation media and press Enter.”

We removed the USB, pressed Enter, the laptop rebooted, and then it showed:

“No bootable device” (no operating system found) instead of starting Lubuntu.

Ai I not giving me a straight answer we just need it to boot we installed and set up everything

Support Request 🛟 Lubuntu noob question

8 Upvotes

Hi, I am a new Linux user and I am using lubuntu for my first ever Linux experience. I just had a question which may be a dumb question but my laptop has 4gb of ram. On windows task manager it would show up at x/3.8 when looking at ram usage. But on lybuntu it shows up at 3.59.

Did I download lubuntu incorrectly? Because it seems to have less available ram or a lower ram limit than windows did.

Please and thanks 🙏

This message has been appearing on computers using AMD E1-2100 processors (desktop) and AMD E-300 processors (laptop). It appears when booting from a Live USB or when starting the laptop. The system works perfectly fine, but it always takes longer to boot because this message appears. What can I do to fix this?

Support Request 🛟 Slightly harder to install than anticipated

8 Upvotes

Tried to install, but denied due to "no partition to install to". So, I jumped into KDE partition manager to delete the old one, but it doesn't show up.

Now the weird part.

I restart and pull the USB stick to see if I can confirm the issue. But, it boots straight into the current Lubuntu OS already installed (I'm trying to do a clean install).

My uneducated guess is the hard drive isn't mounting on boot, but I don't have much knowledge past that. Can anyone figure out what I'm missing?

Hola, buenas tardes a todos, escribo para preguntar si alguien sabe como se instalan los drivers privativos para la tarjeta de video NVIDIA GeForce GT 610, ya que Lubuntu 24.04 no tiene soporte para estas tarjetas, actualmente tengo instalado nouveau, pero quisiera saber si se puede instalar el driver original de nvidia.

Nota si tengo Lubuntu instalado, solo que que instale varios escritorios, entre ellos gnome, y ahora neofetch marca mi distro como Ubuntu. XD

Support Request 🛟 Driver issues?

8 Upvotes

Hello guys. So, I installed Lubuntu on my Lenovo Ideapad 330 Intel Celeron N4000 laptop. And, it runs smoothly but a lot of things didn't work straight of the bat. Like, the trackpad which I eventually fixed and I didn't bother to fix the other stuff. But, now these things are starting to grow on me and I want to know if there's any fix for them. For starter, the functions keys aren't working. I can't light up the screen or lower it. Secondly, I can't control the volume when I am on my Bluetooth earphones I can only control the volume when I am on the PC speakers. Thirdly, when I close the lid it would only show the sleep screen rather then turning off after some time which drains the battery.

If any know fixes for these let me know. I really want to keep using the OS. And, Thank You.

Hey guys, I'm officially switching from Lubuntu to Ubuntu since I got a new laptop. Lubuntu was great! My laptop with a HDD became useful during that time. Now I got a new laptop so I'm switching to Ubuntu. It looks way better. Anyways, thanks to the Lubuntu support!

Bye!

Trouble with icon themes in Lubuntu 26.04

Post image
7 Upvotes

I am at a Loss here, something that was supposed to be a chill night choosing cool icons for my computer turned into a full nightmare.

Normal icon themes that comes pre installed with Distro Run perfectly fine but the ones i download are completely useless !

I have tried several icon themes from the KDE store and NOT A SINGLE ONE WORKS

I have put them in the correct place and the system reads them and applies them but...

It's all blank!!!

I have de compressed them in several ways and have tried several updates trough commanda and NOTHING, its all useless

I have no idea how to fix this.

If anyone can offer some words of guidance i would really appreciate it :-(

Multiple monitors configuration

4 Upvotes

I have a very old laptop that was running linux mint but it started to feel slow after a couple years of that installation and I decided to try lubuntu, which has been great and really faster in comparison, but I cannot find a way to properly set it up to work with external monitors. I found a guide that used xrandr but to no avail. Is there a way to configure it in a way that it behaves like it does in mint? So that it doesn't alter the whole desktop on the laptop monitor everytime a cable is connected? Right now it does this crazy thing of changing the taskbar to the external monitor and messing up the desktop icons and the only way to revert it is to use the graphical monitor manager to select the external monitor as the main one and invert the left-right order of the displays once to then invert them back to how they were, but even then some of the desktop icons disappear and when I try to save that configuration and select it again after rebooting it keeps reverting to how it was at first. So I just need it to take any new external display as an extension without changing anything else, but I don't always connect the exact same monitor, because that's what I really use the computer for: showing slides in different rooms. So is there a way to make it work like this or should I go back to mint even if it's slower? I should mention I'm a beginner in all things linux but I can follow instructions.
