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 =
|

||||
|
||||
- Keep screenshots near the text that describes them
|
||||
|
||||

||||
---------
|
||||
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.

|
||||
Check that there are no warning with make clean && make html
|
||||
|
||||

Chapter 1.3 Installation
|
||||
========================
|
||||
This is a guide 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`.

|
||||
.. image:: grubsplash.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
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The next screen will show you a map of the world where you can choose your location. Your location will be used to set your time zone and download server. To see what region you have chosen use the :guilabel:`Region` drop down menu. The :guilabel:`Zone` field should have a major city with the same time as you.

|
||||
|
||||
Selecting Keyboard Layout
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Next select your keyboard layout, you can check your keyboard matches the keyboard shown picture shown. The :guilabel:`Keyboard Model` menu lets you choose different variants, the left column lets you change language, and the right column gets different variants. At the bottom you can type to make sure your layout is correct. To test your keyboard is working type in :guilabel:`Type here to test your keyboard` field. When you have selected your keyboard layout press the :guilabel:`Next` button to move on. To view a preview of what this keyboard layout looks like look at the top of the window.

||||
|
||||
Customize
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Next will bring a choice of what applications to install, additional third party drivers, or to install updates with the installation. To choose to install all applications and the list of the third party applications choose :guilabel:`Full Installation`. To choose the normal applications included in Lubuntu select the :guilabel:`Normal Installation` button. To choose a minimal installation of just the desktop environment select the :guilabel:`Minimal Installation` button. To install updates while installing check the :guilabel:`Download and install updates following installation` checkbox. To install third party and maybe proprietary drivers check the :guilabel:`Install third-party software for graphics, WiFi hardware, and additional media formats` checkbox.
|
||||
|
||||
Pick which particular additional applications you wish to install there are checkboxes for each program under :guilabel:`Install additional third party packages`. To install Element for encrypted Matrix chat check the :guilabel:`Element` checkbox. To install the Thunderbird email and calendering client check the :guilabel:`Thunderbird checkbox`. To install virt-manager to manage running virtual machines on Lubuntu check the :guilabel:`Virtual Machine Manager` checkbox. To make digital art check the checkbox for :guilabel:`Krita`.

|
||||
|
||||
Setting up partitions
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If all you want is Lubuntu on your machine, you can select the :guilabel:`Erase disk` button. This will format the disk and **delete all data on the disk**, which is why having your data backed up before this point is extremely important. If you choose to do this you can continue on to user setup. To change the storage device to install Lubuntu on use the :guilabel:`Select Storage device` drop down menu. To see whether you are installing in uefi or bios mode is shown in the top left corner of this window. To choose to use a swap file under :guilabel:`Erase disk` keep :menuselection:`Swap to file` or to not use swap choose :menuselection:`No Swap`. To choose which filesystem to use the drop down on the right to choose which filesystem you want to use. If you want to encrypt your drive press the :guilabel:`Encrypt system` checkbox and then you will need to enter the encryption passphrase twice to make sure you have it typed in correctly. It is strongly advised to write down this passphrase and keep it somewhere safe.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
Erasing your entire disk or partition may cause you to lose data so please backup beforehand.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: partitioning.png
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If you had a previous Linux install with a swap partition you will need to unmount the swap. To do this run
|
||||
.. code::
|
||||
|
||||
sudo swapoff -a; sudo swapon /dev/zram0
|
||||
|
||||
which will unmount them and any swap partitions while still leaving zram enabled. This will not work if you have data partition mounted open PCManFM-Qt and press the upward pointed arrow on each partition in the :guilabel:`Places` sidebar to unmount all data partitions.
|
||||
|
||||
To move back to Selecting your keyboard layout press the :guilabel:`Back` button. To advance to the setting up users press the :guilabel:`Next` button.
|
||||
|
||||
User Setup
|
||||
----------
|
||||
The user setup section creates a user profile, consisting of typing your name into the :guilabel:`What is your name?` field. Next type your username in the :guilabel:`What name do you want to use to log in?`. Put what you want your hostname of your computer to be in the :guilabel:`what is the name of this computer?` field. The last thing you need to enter is your password in the :guilabel:`Choose a password to keep your account safe`. Enter your password twice to make sure you have not mistyped it. If a name can actually be used as a username or hostname a green checkmark will appear to the right of it if you cannot a red x will appear. Pressing the :guilabel:`Next` button will give you a summary screen, showing you the settings before the install begins. Once you have checked the summary click the :guilabel:`Install` button to begin the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: user_setup.png
|
||||
|
||||
The summary screen shows what settings will be installed and you can double check everything is how you want it. After pressing the :guilabel:`Install` button a dialog will pop up to confirm installation. To actually install press the :guilabel:`Install now` button. To not start installing and go back press the :guilabel:`Go back` button.

|
||||
|
||||
The Install
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The Lubuntu installer provides some useful information while the installer is running. On the bottom of the window is a progress bar. On the right end of the progress bar is the percentage of the installation complete. To see command line output of the install press the :guilabel:`Magnifying glass` button. Once Lubuntu is installed you have a checkbox :guilabel:`Reboot now` after your Lubuntu is installed and is now finished.

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/>`_

To change the size or type of a partition after initially creating it press the :guilabel:`Edit` button. To delete a partition press the :guilabel:`Delete` button. You will need at least one root (/) partition and if you are booting an EFI system you will also need a /boot/efi mounted partition. Another common option is to have all your data on its own partition, which can even be on its own separate physical disk this can be mounted at /home. If you want to encrypt your your filesystem check the :guilabel:`Encrypt` checkbox. Then two fields will appear to get write type your encryption passphrase twice to confirm it. To add a label for this partition enter it into the :guilabel:`FS Label` field.
