```
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.

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.

To add a screenshot save the screenshot in the directory with the text and then use an image directive
```
.. 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.
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```

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.

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 **LXQt**. Lubuntu 20.04 was 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.
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.

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.

Chapter 2.1.5 Trojita
=====================
Trojita is the default IMAP email client of Lubuntu.

Usage
------

You will need to type in your name so people know what call you and the email address so Trojita needs to know what address to get information from. The :guilabel:`IMAP` tab has settings for how to get messages to your machine. The :guilabel:`Encryption` method tells what kind of encryption to use when accessing your mail as needed for your mail provider. The :guilabel:`Server` field is where you input what server to get your email from. The :guilabel:`Port` tells Trojita which network port to access the server on. The :guilabel:`Username` field tells Trojita which username to send to the email server.
.. image:: IMAP_settings.png
