[09:37] <DarkTrick> can we already upgrade savely to xubuntu 20?
[09:42] <Unit193> Technically not until .1
[09:43] <DarkTrick> Unit193, "until .1"?
[09:43] <DarkTrick> ah 20.10
[09:44] <DarkTrick> Is there a way to check which application versions are used in the repos for 20 at the moment?
[09:44] <Unit193> !ltsupgrade
[09:45] <DarkTrick> There is this nasty bug in libreoffice and I want to check if the new ubuntu supplies a newer version
[09:46] <Unit193> If you are running 18.04, yes libreoffice is newer.
[09:46] <Unit193> !info libreoffice bionic
[09:46] <Unit193> !info libreoffice focal
[10:12] <DarkTrick> !info libreoffice 19.10
[10:13] <DarkTrick> c'moooon wth :/
[10:13] <DarkTrick> !info libreoffice eoan
[10:14] <DarkTrick> Unit193, thank you!
[10:18] <Unit193> !eoan
[10:18] <Unit193> Should really upgrade, since it is EOL..
[10:21] <DarkTrick> hmmm "Technically not until .1" ?
[10:21] <DarkTrick> I guess I should block a weekend then :/
[10:24] <Unit193> DarkTrick: I figured, since you were asking about how safe it was at this point, that you'd be running the last LTS.  The normal releases aren't really meant long term, and it's presumed users will jump shortly after a new release (hence 9 month support.)
[10:25] <DarkTrick> Unit193, Thank you :)
[10:27] <Unit193> Happy to help.
[10:45] <xu-irc87w> Hi
[10:46] <xu-irc87w> I am currently with kubuntu, I have a partition just /home and a partition for /
[10:46] <xu-irc87w> set*
[10:47] <xu-irc87w> when installing xubuntu, if I keep partition mapping the same, it would retain my files?
[11:07] <DarkTrick> xu-irc87w, "if I keep partition mapping the same": you mean if you install it on the same partition as kubuntu is installed?
[11:10] <r4ulrm> xu-irc87w: just be sure NOT tick the format option on the /home partition when reinstalling
[11:12] <r4ulrm> and you must recreate the previous users in /home after finish installing
[11:17] <xu-irc87w> awesome
[11:23] <DarkTrick> and maybe make a backup beforehand? :)
[11:25] <xu-irc87w> right that's also a good idea
[11:26] <xu-irc87w> anyway i tested XFCE on USB boot and wow what a difference, kubuntu is not performing well for me
[11:26] <xu-irc87w> i do most of my work inside firefox
[11:27] <xu-irc87w> and I got a fairly decent laptop, lenovo T470 i7
[11:27] <xu-irc87w> by the way is there a big differnce between linux mint xfce and ubuntu xfce?
[11:48] <pmjdebruijn> no clue
[11:49]  * pmjdebruijn just recalls mint made some very dubious changes in the past
[11:58] <xu-irc87w> heh
[12:00] <pmjdebruijn> so I'm not confident in how Mint is run as a project
[20:44] <xubuntu60i> Hello everyone.
[20:46] <xubuntu60i> I am new to Xubuntu and I am having a bit of an issue installing drivers/software for my wireless adapter. It came with a USB with installation files on it for Linux, but I am unable to successfully install the adapter. Can anyone offer any assistance, please?
