# Lubuntu Manual Source Code
This is the Lubuntu Manual source code. The concept was derived from [the Kubuntu Manual](https://github.com/ahoneybun/kubuntu-manual). The master branch of this data is now on LXQt for Lubuntu 18.10+ and if you want code for earlier versions it is on the LXDE branch. For each relase of a distro go to the numerical number of that release such as 19.10.

Chapter 1.1 Retrieving the image
=================================
Before you install Lubuntu, you need to retrieve the correct image. Lubuntu supports AMD64 CPU types also known as 64-bit with a new version every six months (supported for nine months), and every two years being a long term support release (supported for three years). If you have a 32 bit processor we unfortunately had to drop support but 18.04 LTS is still supported until 2021 for 32 bit. Lubuntu 20.04 is a Long Term Support release supported until 2023.
Before you install Lubuntu, you need to retrieve the correct image. Lubuntu supports AMD64 CPU types also known as 64-bit with a new version every six months (supported for nine months), and every two years being a long term support release (supported for three years). Lubuntu 20.04 is a Long Term Support release supported until 2023. Lubuntu 21.04 is supported until January 2022.
LTS vs. Regular Releases
------------------------
Lubuntu offers two types of releases. The **Long Term Support** release, or the **LTS**, is the release recommended for most users. It is supported for three years after the release date and does not contain new features. Throughout the course of the cycle, the Ubuntu Kernel Team will deliver **Hardware Enablement** updates, or **HWE** updates, to Lubuntu via Linux kernel updates. Previously, Lubuntu used **LXDE** but since 18.10 it has used the **LXQt**. Lubuntu 20.04 is the First **Long Term Support** release which uses the more modern **LXQt** desktop environment.

For users looking to try new features every six months at the expense of the support cycle length, Lubuntu offers **interim releases**, or **regular releases**. These releases, while they are considered stable, are testing grounds for major, new features which will be rolled into the LTS release. Users of the regular releases are typically enthusiasts and somewhat more experienced users looking for a fresher experience.
**It is extremely important that if you choose this path, you upgrade to each successive regular release shortly after it comes out.** If you are not comfortable doing this, you should consider using the LTS release instead.

Starting the installer
----------------------
Once you have booted the Lubuntu image, you will be greeted by a screen with the following options: :menuselection:`Start Lubuntu`, :menuselection:`Start Lubuntu (safe graphics)`, :menuselection:`Check disk for defects`, :menuselection:`Test memory`, and :menuselection:`Boot from first hard disk`. To start the install select :menuselection:`Start Lubuntu`, you will now be booting into a live session. If Lubuntu has trouble with your graphics card you can start the live session with :menuselection:`Start Lubuntu(safe graphics)`. The :menuselection:`Check disk for defects` option offers a way to check integrity of the disk-image once it is burned onto the install media (USB or DVD). Please use this if you have problems installing as it could be bad media. The :menuselection:`Test memory` option tests to make sure your RAM works on your computer. To switch your keyboard layout on the live session press :kbd:`F3` and select your keyboard layout. To bring back up the language selection press :kbd:`F2`.
At the start of the boot process a grub splash screen will be shown. To install select :menuselection:`Try or Install Lubuntu`. If Lubuntu has a problem with your graphics card like newer nvidia cards select :menuselection:`Lubuntu (safe graphics)`. To test your ram select :menuselection:`Test memory`.
.. image:: boot_installer.png
Once you have booted into the live session, feel free to explore Lubuntu and make sure all your hardware works. Once you are ready to install Lubuntu, double click the icon in the top-left corner of the desktop :guilabel:`Install Lubuntu 20.04`.

Manual partitioning
-----------------------
.. Warning::
Trying to use nonlinux filesystems such as NTFS or FAT as your root filesystem will result in a broken system.
If you wish to manual set up partitions, as an advanced option you will have to choose which file-system you want. A file-system controls how your files are accessed at lower levels on the disk. If you are booting your computer in UEFI mode a more modern firmware compared to BIOS you will need to create an EFI system partition (see `efi system partition Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition>`_ for more detail). To create this partition you will need a FAT32 file-system with the ESP flag to be mounted at /boot/efi/ under the mount point. You will also need a root (/) file-system, several file-systems included for Lubuntu are Ext4, XFS, and Btrfs.
