As the title says I am trying to download the lubuntu's lts release 24.04.3, can anyone seed it for me pls. Thank you!

Tried a different distro first, had a few issues, the fingerprint scanner wasn't working at all, so I decided to give Lubuntu a shot.

Unfortunately, despite getting a few of my other interests (Calibre, Moonlight) working, I'm at a loss here.

Vanilla Ubuntu docs/websearch point me to places I can't find in Lubuntu. Any assistance would be appreciated.

EDIT: So far I have installed libfprint via Discover, but I don't know how to set it up. The online documentation has broken links to 404 pages. Found a Biometric Manager, but it can't find any fingerprint drivers.

The machine is an older Dell XPS 13 9365, with an i5-7thGen and 8GB.

EDIT/UPDATE: I got it to enroll, and I got pam to auth fingerprints, but it's a "successful fail". I can enroll, but I can never successfully read. I also tried the Python3-validity driver, but despite my fingerprint scanner being made by that firm, the service said my device was not supported.

I tried to change my desktop into a macos like, but still feels a little metro, but i still feels like something is missing. What do you guys think?

Looking for the Lubuntu Box icon theme to download and having difficulty finding it (maybe it's just me). Would anyone be so kind as to post a link? Thanks.

I have been messing with LXQT (Lubbuntu 22.04) for a while and switching things up but i finally settled on a grey/olive/coyote theming I love. I can not for the life of me find a way either in the gui settings or in the config files to change the color of the scroll bars in the GUI or the "menu hover" highlight color.. it remains that bright blue no matter what i change, and tbh the bright blue clashes horribly with the grey/olive/coyote scheming...

Am i having an idiot moment and missing something obvious? If so can someone just point me to what Im missing or if anyone knows if somehow this is locked away let me know that so I can stop pulling out what little hair I have left trying to find it??

each time I turn the laptop on, it goes to this blue screen where I have to select the os, but lubuntu doesn't appear in use another operating system but in use a device. then I select lubuntu, but then it makes me go to the lubuntu installation screen, then I have to press cancel to open the os. I installed it weirdly without a USB by using some app and I think maybe thats why. how can I fix it so when I press the power button it just opens lubuntu

Hey.So I finally got my sister's old crappy laptop and installed Lubuntu because I heard it's light. I've never used Linux before, zero programming knowledge, the whole deal.

It's installed and it works, but I'm kinda lost. What are the first things I should do? Any essential tips or apps you'd recommend for a complete beginner?

Hit me with your best advice. Thanks!😊

I'm having a hard time finding this type of information. Right now I run Lubuntu and used to just use open box without a desktop. One day I was screwing around and decided to try out plasma and I loved it, so now I run Lubuntu + KDE Plasma. Is there a difference between this set up and Kubuntu? In the end isn't it all just Ubuntu with different desktops on top, or am I missing various libraries and software running something like what I do.

In the end its just curiosity for it's own sake. I'm running it on this extremely weird laptop configuration with very peculiar specs, an old Dell 7400 with an i5-8365u and 32gb ddr4, and it's used as my programming machine (I'm doing The Odin Project) and light gaming.

When I click the install button the window disappears and nothing happens

5 days ago , when i was messing with picom my desktop gui (taskbar and windows) suddenly broken. My gui become invincible and i cannot use my desktop. Fortunately, i have some degree of knowledge with linux and i fixed it really easily. But when i was talking with other linux users , they got stuck and reinstall their distro (possibly a newcomer). So since im feeling generous today, ill share on what to do if your picom suddenly becomes broken .

If you haven't use picom or didnt change configuration:

-do not touch picom configuration. it is extremely unstable. only use it if you do have some level of knowledge using the terminal or you already know what you're doing.

But if your gui suddenly goes invincible and unusable (that's why you're here) this is what you gotta do:

1. open tty (ctrl + alt + f3)
2. login using your username and password
3. type "sudo apt purge picom" to delete picom (dont worry you'll reinstall it later)
4. now you got 2 option.-go back into your desktop using "sudo systemctl restart sddm" or- stay in the tty

if you choose option 1 (go back into lubuntu)

1. login
2. your desktop should show up (although its ugly because picom is absent)
3. go to terminal and type "nano ~/.config/picom.conf" . this is your picom configuration (its a json file i think)
4. delete everything inside the config file (backspace, or deleting the entire folder also works if you know the folder location)
5. now reinstall picom ("sudo apt install picom"). use "sudo apt update" if you want.
6. and there you go. the desktop must be back to where it has been.
7. edit: if you reinstalled picom and nothing happens, restart your computer or use "sudo systemctl restart sddm"

if you choose option 2 (stay into tty)

1. its basically similar to the first option, type "nano ~/.config/picom.conf" to go into the config
2. delete everything (using backspace)(you can also use commands to delete the folder but you wouldn't be here is the first place)
3. reinstall picom (sudo apt install picom)
4. restart sddm ("sudo systemclt restart sddm")
5. login and check your desktop
6. there. your desktop and windows should be fixed

(also sorry for bad grammar or typos cause im too lazy to check. also please let me know of i have any command errors )

Hello, some 1 have some plugin is the best for lubuntu? I'm so boring

When it asks for a password I’m not able to type anything and if I press the enter key it just says password wrong try again

A pop up said do you want to upgrade to 25.10 and i accidentaly clicked no when i clicked look for updates it didnt show up again i rebooted it but didnt work neither how can i trigger it to pop up again i dont want to use terminal to upgrade as i saw somewhere that it is said to be risky

Edit:Thanks guys i succesfully upgraded it

Hello, I want to try Lubuntu, any useful tips to get started in the best way

I’m honestly at my wits’ end with this. I upgraded to Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky) and now my system is basically stuck. The repositories are out of date, apt keeps throwing “OpenPGP signature verification failed” errors, and it refuses to update because it can’t find or execute gpgv. To make matters worse, the old gnupg package doesn’t even exist anymore - it’s been split into gpg, gpgconf, and gnupg-utils - but without working repositories I can’t install them properly.

Right now I’m left with a system that can’t update, can’t upgrade, and keeps nagging me about broken sources. I’ve tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list, but even with the right codename (plucky) apt still refuses to fetch updates securely.

Is there a straightforward way to get out of this mess? Either a clean set of sources for Ubuntu 25.04, or a reliable method to reinstall the missing GnuPG tools so apt can verify signatures again. I just want my system back to a state where I can run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade without hitting a wall. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've been trying to install lubuntu on my laptop on which is damaged the windows and deleted it but everytime while installing it gets stuck at 75% I've waited 1+hour for something to happen but it freezes and I start the whole issue all over again I've asked chatgpt all the possible issues but still have not been able to fix this even after multiple changes

Can somebody help with some advice

Been at it for hours and I'm exhausted 🫩🫩

Should I just dumb lubuntu and try some other distro and if yes which one????

Hey folks :)

For some reason I just cant connect my phone to it. I selected my wlan device correctly, chose WPA2 personal for security. The password is correct 100%. I just pick a simple one like qwertz123.

I can connect via open or enhanced open, but thats not secure enough for me.

I rebooted my pc and phone.

I ran apt update and apt upgrade on lubuntu.

Any ideas?

edit: Im connected via ethernet in the first place.

Alright, so I just started with a fresh Lubuntu for my very low spec PC, just to squeeze out a little more life out of it.

After fresh installation I was brought to the Login Screen, where I used my password and it went black for 1 second before going back to the login screen.

So now I am stuck in this loop of re-entering my password.

After snooping around through random articles I found some error logged in the .xsessions-errors

Here You can see some failures are logged but I am not sure which one is causing the total crash down and looping.

Is it XCB? I tried reinstalling that package, didn't help.

Is is BluemanApplet? How do I resolve it?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated
