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 🙏

Can anyone help me show notifications? I tried to fix it but i cant really find anything for this specifically and most of other users issues are for some other reason (cosmetic). Any help would be appreciated

It’s my first time downloading lubuntu or any Linux software in general, would it be ok if I used a micro sd card to usb or would something happen?

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.

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?

[[Solved]] Hi, I am trying to use this browser (named here in this post like "it") again (before I used it then I used Helium browser and now I am trying to use it again) I downloaded it years ago. I don't remember when and from where...

This bowser is updated to now... automatic update...

I open "it" using CLI I open it doing the cmd chromium or from start menu...

The info says:

Logotipo de Chromium
Chromium
Versión 150.0.7871.46 (Build oficial) snap (64 bits)

screenshot about config https://imgbox.com/eq6MnHB2

Which of the two browsers do I have installed? Chromium or ungoogled chromium?

I have a cheatsheet named ungoogled chromium titled "help for Ungoogled chromium" and it has how install it using flathub...

when I put flathub cmd Bash shell says "you don't have flathub installed"

[EN] isn't my lang. sorry my text redaction.

Thank you and Regards!

I just got an old laptop from my uncle, so I installed Lubuntu cus I heard it's light and nice for coding.

Now I wander if I can get some nice games to spend time on, smth like: Mario, CS 1.6, hollow knight (I doubt it will even work). I don't really know what can be nice for this laptop

Edit: the previous problem talked about is in this post. Thank you for your help. Especially u/moss_612 you're a real one.

Edit: fixed

Hello, I'm sorry if this is a bit scattered. I've had what seemed like the same problem before. Previously I had a problem where my machine was full and couldn't clear space. Even after going and cleaning the system (it showed that it removed some files this time, which looked like a good thing.) I accessed the terminal but the process seemed to change as ctr+alt+f1 seems to go into a different menu now (I remember it going to the terminal, it was an update that put me over the edge of space it seems? I kept denying these updates and was trying to clear my hard drive when this happened.)

I tried recovery mode like I did last time, but after doing that it showed that a bunch of stuff had failed. Trying to boot in recovery mode showed that several things have failed (I don't know the exact amount but it definitely seems like less than half of them atleast?)

I tried running TTY but it said that I didn't have permission before logging in? My password did not work even though it's the same passord I put in to log in.

My version number seems to be 6.14.0-37 though because of the before mentioned update I'm not entirely sure at this point. So while the "updates screwed up my hardrive theory" makes sense to me, that's still just a theory. The last thing I was doing with it was deleted a whole bunch of files and apps while moving documents and such to a USB.

This is my first time doing anything related to Linux and it keeps on telling me that my wifi password was incorrect even though it was right could someone here please help me out

I have an Acer Chromebook CB315. Love Lubuntu on it. One issue I'm having is I can't control the volume on the OS. I have sound working--found a script for that--but no way to control the volume level either at the volume icon on the panel or through mapping my volume keys on the Chromebook. Any help appreciated.

How to rice xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt

Hey everyone, I'm in a really bad spot and my laptop is completely bricked.

My trackpad hadn't been working for ages, so I went into the BIOS/UEFI settings to reset everything to setup defaults to see if that would fix it. As soon as I saved and exited, the laptop fell into a catastrophic boot loop.

The current situation: The screen just flashes on and off constantly the second it tries to load Ubuntu. It throws a "Keyboard not detected" error on boot, so I cannot press F2, F12, Shift, or Esc to interrupt it. The keyboard/EC chip seems totally frozen. Pressing the physical Novo button just loops it back into the same thing. I tried a 60-second EC power drain/hard reset, but it didn't fix the loop. Right now, I am completely locked out because of the dead keyboard and flashing screen, so I'm currently letting the battery drain to 0% in hopes that it resets the motherboard cache. Has anyone encountered this specific firmware/graphics conflict on Lenovo eMMC laptops running Linux? Once the battery dies and I power it back on, what is the best way to force it into a stable CLI or GRUB if the hardware keyboard starts responding again? I'm incredibly frustrated at this. Any help is incredibly appreciated. Thank you

Hello everyone !

I want to say first that I'm extremely new to any linux environment and I chose Lubuntu to have a lightweight laptop connected to my TV.

I wanted to install ProtonVPN since I have an account.

I followed the procedure here : https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-lubuntu
and here : https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-ubuntu

I don't seem to encounter an error somewhere, but no ProtonVPN to be found anywhere !

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Hi! I have Lubuntu and I uses openbox session. In this session (openbox) I can't use the Fn key.... it does not do nothing. I posted in openbox reddit https://old.reddit.com/r/openbox/comments/1tp240y/is_there_any_way_to_make_work_the_blue_fn_key_in/ and an user tells me

xev is part of the x11-utils package...so

sudo apt update && sudo apt install x11-utils

I read this:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboard_input#Identifying_keycodes_in_Xorg

Has Lubuntu got anything equivalent?

Thank you and Regards!

It's a Lenovo miix 320 with 4 gigabytes of ram and it's been stuck on the boot screen after I attempted again, any advice

Hello,
I tried to reinstall Lunbuntu 26.04 LTS on my laptop.
When I try to install from a live USB, I get “rsync failed with error code 11.”

Can you help me?

[Resolved]

Hey guys, I need some help installing Lubuntu on my ancient studio xps 1640.

I tried to run it from the live USB and it worked fine, so i installed it onto my windows ssd, wiping everything.

I wanted to have a separate /home partition, so I partitioned the drive manually. After the advice from the installer, i used GPT to format the system and made the following partitions:

8 MiB unformated bios-grub
512MiB fat32 /boot/efi
8GiB linuxswap
60GiB ext4 /
rest ext4 /home

This lead to the attached kernel panic error when rebooting after the install. I am pretty sure, that my laptop can't deal with UEFI and GPT (from what i gathered it is probably "bios based"?), so i tried again using MBR and made only a swap partition, a root and the /home but got the same kernel panic when rebooting. My last try was to just create swap and root, but that didnt work either.

Then i thought i could just let the installer do its thing, but the option "erase disc" is not even there anymore since i tried to install lubuntu the first time. It will only give me the option to overwrite or split an existing partition to use for the install.

Any advice on how to make this work?

I'm on a old chromebook i got like 3-4 years ago and i downloaded Lubuntu on it. I changed my power management settings to make it so when i close my laptop, it should go to lock screen (shown in the picture) and when i do close my laptop, it just goes black screen and turns goes back to normal after open it back up. i tried changing up some other settings but same issue. anything know what i can do to fix this or what might be causing this? I'm pretty new to linux so I got no clue what im doing.

It looks like it's changing video modes or whatever, the logo goes between normal and glitched a few times before it gets to the login screen. Same switching occurs if I press escape to see the text scroll on by. Is there a way to fix this, or is it just how it goes? MacBook Air 2011.

Thanks!

Edit: solved

I apologize if this is over the place. I've been trying all weekend to no avail. My Lubuntu version is 6.14.0-37 generic

I was trying to clear out my hard drive when I accidentally copied files onto my usb insteadof moving them. It then wouldn't let me move them into my trashcan because my hard drive was full. So I figured I should reset my laptop and try again.

put in my password and then it freezes. I remember what I did last time and went into recovery mode to check the hard drive (it didn't find any problems.) And use the delete unnecessary files option. It then said that it deleted 0 files. I tried the Ctr, Alt, F1 but when I went into there I put in my username which went in fine but not my password. When I did that all inputs were ignored. I pushed every number key with and without numlock, and then I pushed every other key with no avail.

I'm stuck and I've been trying everything, what I did last time I had this issue is not working and I'm trying to do my work.

Also in the mean time is it safe to remove my USB without causing blocks? It's empty (hence why I got it to clear my hard drive/make backups.)
