Thatdoes not mean you need to be a developer, either. Though there is some new code we write, this is relatively rare. Including upstream changes in our packaging can be a little advanced, but even that is not the sum total of what we do.You have the skills necessary.

Contributions can be done on an extended basis (making becoming a Lubuntu Member easy) or can be little bits here and there. You can come and go as you like. You can work only on one issue you feel particularly strongly about, or you can get involved over a wide scope.


Support and Bug Triage contributors are on the front line when it comes to interacting with users and solving problems. They use their knowledge about Lubuntu and Linux as a whole to help users solve problems, and if the problem is on our end, take that and turn it into a bug report that developers can solve.


Support is mainly for the purpose of helping users solve their problems. If this is something you would be interested in, join our support channel and jump in to assist when someone asks for help. The more active people we have around, the more questions can be answered.


Bug Triage can be compared to support in many ways, as the end goal of both is the same: try to figure out what the problem is and help the user solve it. With bugs, the approach is different. The user has identified that there is a problem, they have (hopefully) submitted logs, and they would like to see the bug fixed as an update.


Download lubuntu, a fast and lightweight Linux operating system. Lubuntu uses LXDE/LXQT and a selection of light applications. It focuses on speed and energy-efficiency. Because of this, Lubuntu has very low hardware requirements.


This image was created using the Ubuntu Pi Flavour Maker. For the Raspberry Pi 2 the microSDHC I/O throughput is a bottleneck. Recommended: Use a Class 6 or Class 10 microSDHC card. More information here.


I am owner of the Prusa i3 MK3. To slice I usually use slic3r. Now, I want to use my older laptop to slice directly in the studio (my workshop in the cellar). I googled for a 32 Bit version for Linux, but was not able to find one.


I can't help with the Debian part, but yes, there are x86 binaries (RPM, for openSUSE) in the repository I provided a link to. (And yes, you're right, it's a maze.) Perhaps you may have a luck installing them with 'alien'.


Acutally cloning the github link ( ) is where I started. Following the instructions did not help. I was missing something or it was not mentioned for 32-Bit Linux? I have got a lot of errors of missing libraries. Installing them afterwards did also not help. I got more and more missing libraries. When all the libraries were there, the process of compiling suddenly stopped, with no meaningfull error message.


Thanks for the links. Installing using "alien" and "dpkg -i" was no problem form the fedora rpm package. When I start "slic3r-prusa3d" I have got the error message "libwx_gtk3u ..." missing. Im my system (lubuntu 16.04) was only "libwx_gtk2u..." installed.


I was such an idiot. after compiling the whole stuff in the /deps/ directory, I thought that I have to compile it again in the /src/ directory. There (in /src/) I allways got this PrecompiledHeader error. I have seen this morning, that after compiling everything in the /deps/ directory, there is the final verison in .../deps/src/ called .../deps/src/slic3r-gui. And ... IT WORKS!


To compile I added a lot of packages in my lubuntu 18.10 (see lubuntu18.10.markings). I was mostly confused, which 'curl' library (-dev version) I had to choose. The ones in the actual file (lubuntu18.10.markings) work, but are probably ways too many libraries.


This is a very slow and painful process. I have to scrounge bits of informationfrom all over the web to get a fully tricked-out, working Mac keyboard. I intend tolist all steps I had to take in one place for someone else (and for myself in thefuture when I upgrade/re-install computers).


There are plenty more things you can do. You can download my lubuntu-rc.xmlfile and look through it yourself. On general principle, you should make a copy ofyour lubuntu-rc.xml file before you edit it or overwrite it.


Then, set the Hotkey as Super+c. Save the script by clicking on Save. Saving the script will create a file copy.txt in the folder location you chose. Repeat this method for many other shortcuts. You can take a look or download my autokey folder here.

You can test the new keyboard shortcuts. As long as autokey is running,the scripts and phrases will work. All we now need to do is make sure autokeyruns at startup. You can add autokey to yourlist of startup programs.


Outside my area of expertise, but the various write-up on how to control the fan under Linux one can find on the internet typically state that you need to enable cool bits first before you are able to set fan speed with nvidia-settings. I see different idioms being used. A fairly common one seems to be


While I believe Cool-bits=4 enables fan speed editing, Cool-bits 28 works as well.

However the gui is needed for that.

I guess I was hoping someone could post a terminal command, to modify fanspeed.

We need a headless (terminal based) variety of nvidia-xsessions at the deep learning and folding community.


For which value you want for coolbits, I referred to this ArchLinux wiki article so add these up as you wish (each being a different bit in a binary number), but for fan control you only need 4 (bit 2).


GPUFanControlState (boolean)

GPUTargetFanSpeed (integer)

GPUCurrentFanSpeed (read-only)

GPUResetFanSpeed (??? - no information on query, might always reset the speed to zero when set? No clue.)

GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM (read-only)

GPUFanControlType (read-only)

GPUFanTarget (read-only)


Now the problem that I am facing is that this work on the system with GUI using a terminal there but if I connect to the machine via SSH I cannot run those commands, I am not sure what I am missing, this is the error I am getting:


nvidia-settings is a graphical application. attempting to run it, even from just the command line, over SSH from a local to a remote machine, is likely to try to connect with the x-server in the remote machine.


On this occasion I will comment on my experience in the total migration to a linux system specifically the lubuntu distribution, with this tutorial it is only intended to present simply another different option, allowing us to continue our tests with greater efficiency in open source and IoT applications.


After much meditating on the advantages and disadvantages of changing the operating system I decided to use lubuntu as the main operating system, during many of the previous tutorials I used the nostalgic Windows XP, and to require running other software or applications not available in XP used Virtualbox for Run Lubuntu, Ubuntu, Windows 7 or Windows 10, for a long time this was my mode of operation to consider that Windows XP already generated many complications regarding software compatibility and updates in general.


In this case we will migrate from an OS Windows in this case, to linux SO Lubuntu 16.04.3 LTS to 32 bits.

I will indicate the steps for the migration process the advantages of this operating system.


Lubuntu is the combination of LXDE and Ubuntu, Lubuntu's slogan is "light, fast, easier", I recommend this operating system for any computer especially old computers, laptops, netbooks, but not for all of them. Some computers have very little power or memory.


The Universal USB Installer is a boot loader for linux allows to select the distribution linux and adding of the iso of certain distribution to create in a USB Pendrive a pocket operating system.


In case of not performing or require a complete and/or permanent installation of lubuntu, when creating the live-usb in USB usb "usb memory" 4gb, will have an operating system which allows to test, boot and use temporarily without any problem.


Personally a few years ago I listened to linux and thought it was something very complex, complicated or difficult to manage, after trying lubuntu personally consider that it has many advantages that should know.


Easy installation of software, although it has applications for software installation, I prefer to install from the command line terminal, there are only certain rules like trying to install software only with the command apt-get, do not install unknown or strange little used repositories.


I have used linux distos on VMs and USB sticks for a little while each like antiX, puppy linux, anarchy, endeavour os, fedora xfce, fedora workstation, slax, tiny core linux, lubuntu lxde, ubuntu core on a server and such.


As @stephane said, 1 GiB of RAM is way too low for any kind of modern usage. 2 GiB might work, but even that is going to be painfully slow. 4 GiB is the recommended minimum for a 64-bit system on x86-64 hardware nowadays.


A such Old and Low-Spec System the OP wants to use, is not usable at all in 2021 now. To get any reasonable usage out this Machine he will need a minimal Distro using a halfway decent WM at best. LXDE could work. But as far as Webbrowsing? Well a Lightweight Browser can be used, however limited use it will be.
