http://ubuntuforums.org – I know there's something wrong when several hours in on what should be a simple task I'm giving up with Lubuntu and going back to puppy. Not because the computer can't run Lubuntu, but it has been a wholly frustrating experience. I wanted to run Lubuntu due to Dropbox and Synergy with Chromium (ie flash support) an added bonus. Instead, compared to the under 1 hour to install and configure Puppy I've just hit wall after wall and want to share my experience so that the community can figure out what needs changing (or not!). If people can give suggestions of what I did wrong/how to address (Hardware)

I'm planning to install Lubuntu 12.10 (32-bit) on the following PC. Will it work or is the hardware too old?

CPU: Intel Celeron 2.0GHz RAM: 512MB GPU: GeForce 4 MX 440 with AGP8x

I'm especially worried that the GPU won't have drivers. The computer is used by my parents to surf the web, so if it can play Flash video, everything is fine.

Hello readers,

I use NFS to connect to an NFS share on my iMac from my Lubuntu netbook. Initially I could not connect to the NFS share on my iMac. I found the answer in changing my UID in Lubuntu from 1000 to 501 (so now these are equal on both my iMac and my Lubuntu netbook for the same user).

But when I log-in to Lubuntu LXDE my username does not show up anymore in the list of users.

[lubuntu] LuBuntu Question 1 year 1 week ago

Hi Guys,

Just looking for someone who runs LUBUNTU all the time.. I have a question...

I have a very old DELL Optiplex gx280 and was running XUBUNTU it has 512 mb ram and 40 gig hardrive..

I noticed on xu.... It would try to lock up so I did an in place upgrade (( SUDO APT-GET INSTALL LUBUNTU-DESKTOP ) and so far so well...

Just wondering.. Is Lubuntu safe for use full time?

Hi, I have the following problem: the installation of Lubuntu 12.10 stops in the second step. What is? The second step is where it says you are connected to the Internet, the disk space you have and present the options to selected third-party downloads and/or restricted.
