Before starting, you need a few tools.
- A modern, Debian-based Linux distribution
- Debian Buster (10.0) and onwards
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and onwards
- A text editor with syntax highlighting and spell checking
- A screenshot tool
- Debian Jessie (8.0) and onwards
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and onwards
- The following packages from your Linux distribution's repository:
- `git`
- `pyhton3-pip`
- `arcanist`
- `python3-sphinx`
- `texlive`
- `texlive-formats-extra`
- `latexmk`
- `python3-sphinx-rtd-theme`
- `python3-sphinx-bootstrap-theme`
## Getting the code
To clone the repository, you can run this command:
```
git clone https://git.lubuntu.me/Lubuntu/manual.git
git clone ssh://git@phab.lubuntu.me:2222/source/lubuntu-manual.git
```
but to do this you must have your ssh key on phabricator.
## Adding a file to the manual
After setting up the tools, you should now be ready to start editing files.
If you look in the `source` directory, you should see some files. There's
`index.rst`, which is the main page, and some directories and subdirectories
that are numbers. Those are chapters of the manual, and are listed in the
`index.rst` file. Chapter 1 deals with downloading and installing Lubuntu. Chapter 2 has to deal with applications for office, web browsers, graphics, games and accesories. Chapter 3 documents programs that change settings. Chapter 4 is programs for installing, removing, and updating software. Chapter 5 is for the panel, runner, and window management. Each chapter that begins with a letter is an appendix.
that are numbers. Those are chapters of the book, and are listed in the
`index.rst` file.
Let's say you want to create Chapter 20. In the `source` directory, create a
directory titled `20`. In the `20` directory, create a file with the name of
the chapter. Let's call this chapter `foo bar`. Create a file named
`foo_bar.rst` in `20`. Edit that file however you want. When you are done,
add this to `source/index.rst`. To add a file to an already existing chapter add it to the toctree in the chapter.
add this to `source/index.rst`:

To add a screenshot save the screenshot in the directory with the text and then use an image directive
Then run `make clean && make html && make latexpdf` in the root of the manual directory and it should build successfully!
```
.. image:: foobar.png
```
Also add both the screenshot and the modified restructured text file and commit both. If a program has been updated simply save a new screenshot overwriting the file to update the screenshot.
Then run `make clean && make html && make latexpdf` in the root of the manual directory and it should build successfully with zero warnings! (Might take several trials to get `make latexpdf` without any errors.)
## Getting multiple Versions to Work
To build or make changes like a typo on a specific version of the manual the current stable release is on the stable branch and the current LTS release is on the LTS branch.
## Getting mulitple Versions to Work
To change into the file for the code you cloned from git of sphinxconfig-versioning and run ``` cd sphinxcontrib-versioning && sudo python3 setup.py install```
## Making changes and seeking your changes to be pulled

Style Guide
===========
- Program names use the same capitalization you use in the main menu.
- Use code directives for input into the command line.
- Use :guilabel:`Button` for buttons and checkboxes.
- Use :kbd:`Shortcut` for keyboard shortcuts and buttons you press.
- Use :menuselection:`Item --> Subitem` for things in menus and context menus.
- Use the - for bullet pointed lists usually at the beginning of lists of features.
- Use oxford commas for easier adding or removing features.
- Use .. Warning:: if doing something wrong can cause data loss or machine not to boot.
- Order sections Summary --> Usage --> Screenshot (if one or two) --> Version --> How To Launch --> Customizing (If necessary)
- Capitalize the start of files and the titles.
Sections
--------
- Start each program or section being underlines with =
- Have - put under them for a section about a program.
- Keep screenshots near the text that describes them
Releasing
---------
Release day get final sha256 hash to add to chapter 1.1 downloading the image with final hash. The beta/daily isos will have a different hash so this needs to be done release day.

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). Lubuntu 24.04 is a Long Term Support release supported until 2027. Lubuntu 24.04 is supported until April 2024.
Before you install Lubuntu, you need to retrieve the correct image. Lubuntu provides 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.
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 **LXQt**. Lubuntu 20.04 was the First **Long Term Support** release which uses the more modern **LXQt** desktop environment.

Throughout the course of the cycle, the Ubuntu Kernel Team will deliver **Hardware Enablement** updates, or **HWE** updates, to Lubuntu via Linux kernel updates. Additionally, all currently-supported Lubuntu LTS releases use the **LXDE** desktop environment, which is the traditional Lubuntu experience however Lubuntu 18.10 and later uses the **LXQt** which is a more modern 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.
About four months after a new LTS release comes and every 6 months thereafter an **LTS Point Release** is realeased to support new hardware and fewer updates to download with the longer support term of an LTS realease. LTS point releases are released every August and Feburary. Each LTS point release is called 24.04.1 is the first point release for the 24.04 point release.

Chapter 1.3 Installation
========================
This is a guide through the installation process of Lubuntu.
This is a guide to through the installation process of Lubuntu.
Starting the installer
----------------------
At the start of the boot process, a GRUB splash screen will be shown. To install select :menuselection:`Try or Install Lubuntu`. If you have a problematic graphics card, select :menuselection:`Lubuntu (safe graphics)` (for example, some NVIDIA cards will need this.) To test your RAM, select :menuselection:`Test memory`.
Once you have booted the Lubuntu image, you will be greeted by a screen with the following options: Start Lubuntu, Check disk for defects, Test RAM, and Boot from first hard disk. To start the install select :guilabel:`Start Lubuntu`, you will now be booting into a live session. The :guilabel:`Check disk for defects` option offers a way to check integrity of the disk image once it is burned to the media please use this if you have problems installing it could be bad media. The :guilabel:`Test Memory` options test to make sure your RAM works on your computer.
.. image:: grubsplash.png
.. image:: boot_installer.png
The next screen will present a choice between :guilabel:`Try Lubuntu`, which will give you a live session to run Lubuntu as you see fit, or run the installer directly with :guilabel:`Install Lubuntu`. Above this there is a field to select which language you want to install in the :guilabel:`Select Your Language` drop down. To get this screen in your language, select one then press the :guilabel:`Confirm` button. If you need more advanced network settings to install Lubuntu than just connecting to Wi-Fi use the :guilabel:`Try Lubuntu` choice. If choose :guilabel:`Install Lubuntu` the installer will start right away and install in your language. At the bottom of your screen if you are connected to the internet automatically like with an ethernet cable it will say :guilabel:`Connected` at the bottom. If you are not connected to the internet at the bottom it will say :guilabel:`Not Connected`.
.. image:: installer-prompt.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 24.04 LTS` or :menuselection:`System Tools --> Install Lubuntu 24.04 LTS`.
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 19.10`.
.. image:: live_session.png
You will be taken to the Lubuntu installer Welcome screen. You can change the installer language in the :guilabel:`Language` drop down box.

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. Lubuntu 22.04 has bug with installing BTRFS and `This guide on Lubuntu discourse <https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/getting-lubuntu-22-04-to-install-with-btrfs/3273/>`_
