[Lubuntu-qa] Linux Kernel and the Future of Lubuntu

Hi, I always prefer to think and plan ahead and I'm sure you all agree this is a good idea. "Better safe than sorry" :) Having that said, I'm sure you all know that we are in 2013 and Linux Kernel starting from series 3.xx and later, started to drop the support for some hardware. Day after day, t

The kernel on the release iso will never change (nor will ANYTHING else). Release ISO's are specifically frozen in time, for all time. This is why on LTS when a new iso is created it has a .1, .2, .3 and .4 suffix. Regards, Phill. On 13 June 2013 13:20, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wrote: > Hi, > > I a

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Saucy] - LigthDM

A possible replacement would be LXDM, afaik it's the only one display manager which is lighter than LightDM. But: it's heavily buggy. Look at the screenshot in the german Ubuntu forums: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/probleme-nach-der-installation-von-lxdm/ So I don't think there can be muc

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Linux Kernel and the Future of Lubuntu

All the isos (even long Expired ones) are archived up [1]. Ubuntu does not force someone using, say, 8.04 to upgrade. All that happens is they no longer get updates from ubuntu. If there is another swathe of CPU's that are dropped, we will mention that on the Wiki, just as we do for 10.04 Regards,

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] [Saucy] - LigthDM

We could go back to LXDM, but at least in 12.04 it had heavy bugs. That would save some megabytes (if it works again). Lubuntu would even work without a display manager, but it would boot to a terminal and the user would have to start X on his own. Not very cool, I think. Jörn Am 13.06.2013
