I need help troubleshooting these graphical artifacts in lubuntu. This computer runs fine with windows 10, but when I try to dualboot with lubuntu (24.04 LTS), even with everything updated to the latest version, they're still graphical artifacts, and sometimes, serious enough that I can't use the PC, they happen only during boot, and once I am logged in, they go away. It is an Intel based system, with an nvidia GPU, but the same thing also happened when I installed lubuntu on my laptop with integrated graphics (Intel).

I downloaded Lubuntu normally through a bootable USB and followed the steps, but while watching a tutorial, I left it hanging on a screen that looked like this. After a few minutes, it seemed to install itself automatically, and it was working just fine.
However, when I restarted the laptop, it gave me a 'boot failed' error. When I put the bootable USB back in and tried again, it worked normally.
Hello Everyone Ever since I have connected my network drive to lubuntu,, I can access the drives but I can't get images to load on Image magick or any other image viewers on my lubuntu install. How can I fix this?
I want the combination 'caps-lock + W, A, S, D keys' to behave as arrow keys only when I am pressing the capslock. Did this in windows using autohotkey but no matter what I try I am not able to do this in Lubuntu Lxqt.

I have an old eee PC 901 and ive tried like 10 times to install lubuntu but Always after installing the screen goes black after the restart please help
I am wanting to have my panel at the bottom of desktop 1 and it no longer an option. I installed plank and it messed things up. I moved plank to my 3rd monitor but have no option in the configure panel to move to bottom of desktop only can move the top and left of monitor 1. Thanks.
I've been having some problem with the background settings on my new lubuntu install.
Cuz you can see I have quite a fuzzy setup: it's not meant for gaming and it's pretty budget friendly.
What's going on is when I plug multi monitors, the background just can't sit on its place. I tried everything: stretch the wallpaper, zoom the wallpaper, duplicate or not duplicate the wallpaper. Nothing makes it.
I even tried to install feh, which didn't solve the problem.
So what's going on is, whenever I reboot this happen, then I going to display settings and press apply then it works just fine.
But whenever I reboot I come to that. I might be wrong but it feels like the computer thinks there's only two monitors.
On the very first half a second that lubuntu boots, the problem is not there. I can see the the wallpaper sitting just fine in every monitor, but for like 0.2 seconds then it just goes back to a random fuzzy setting.
Please don't try to convince me to change distro I am really in love with that one. I use it on my laptop and it works just fine and I love it.
I looked everywhere on the internet, it feels like some people have that problem a long time ago, but I didn't find anything recent about it and neither solution
Thanks for your time and your advice.
Lubuntu 24.04. The login screen (perhaps other places as well?) do not follow the cursor theme defined in lxqt's settings configurator, and use the default breeze them instead. Where is the cursor for this screen changed?
I never installed a MacOS/Linux dual boot before, so I'm not sure what size should I give to the partitions (boot, root, swap and home). Any recommendations based on the following partitions/unallocated space?
Also, does the order or their position matter in terms of performance?
Hello, I revived a pretty old laptop by installing lubuntu(jammy version) and it works fine but when I try to install wine I keep geting these errors about the key( Ithink)
W: GPG error: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F
E: The repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I would appreciate if someone could help me

I was just trying to install Zoom on my Linux machine and the installer when awry. Long story short, several packages (including the network manager and desktop utilities) were removed in whole or part. When I rebooted, it came onto a terminal. My sign in still worked, and the machine still tells me its running Ubuntu 24.04. I'm now trying to ix the broken dependencies so I can use it like normal again, but ideally without having to wipe the whole system by restoring from an .iso. Running `sudo apt --fix-broken install` fails to fetch tons of things, because I have no network connection. I think (fingers crossed) if I can manually reinstall the network manager with its dependencies, I can get this thing on a network and probably fix these broken dependencies easily...so the question is, how do I do that? Is there a way to just extract packages from the .iso file without committing to the whole .iso?
I upgraded Lubuntu from 24.04 to 24.10 and now after login the desktop does not start and it goes back to login.
I got strange error when trying to open qpdfview yesterday. I think it was that some package is missing. So, I decided to upgrade. I do not know is it related.
I have remembered that there might been check sum error during upgrade but it disappeared before I was able to read it.
Fix:
apt-get reinstall lxqt --fix-missing
Hi,
I was able to install Lubuntu on a old Chromebook by swapping out the Google Chromebook BIOS for coreboot using this Medium post as a guide.
I chose to install Lubuntu LTS 24.04.1. For the most part, the Chromebook works as intended, except for the two finger right click support on the touchpad.
When I single or double click on the touchpad with two fingers, the resultant action is the same as if I click on the touchpad with one finger.
I am able to connect an external USB mouse to this Chromebook. When I right click using the external mouse, I do see the expected context menus. Given this, I'm concluding the issue is the OS is not catching the right click mouse button event from the touchpad because it is catching the event from the external USB mouse.
Trying to see if this is a specific issue with Chromebooks running Lubuntu. Has anyone observed issues with right click events when using touchpads on Lubuntu LTS 24.04.1 with laptops that are NOT Chromebooks?
