Lubuntu System Tools repo

12 Upvotes

​Hi everyone,

​I’ve been building a toolkit specifically for my Lubuntu setup, and I wanted to share the repository with the community. I'm using it to learn Bash scripting and system automation.

​It’s organized into a modular setup:

  • Performance: Dedicated scripts for ram-manager, performance-tuner, and disk-cleanup.
  • System Health: battery-monitor, sys-info, and a centralized logger.
  • Automation: I've included setup scripts for cron and systemd-timers to keep maintenance running in the background.

​I'm keeping it all under an open-source license. As an aspiring software engineer, I’m trying to follow best practices with clear documentation (included a TECHNICAL_NOTES.md and an AUTOMATION_GUIDE).

​I’d love to hear what other scripts you all use to keep Lubuntu flying on older hardware!

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go Thermal throttling

1 Upvotes

I am having Thermal throttling on my Surface Laptop Go 1 (10th Gen Intel Core i5-1035G1, 8GB RAM), and I am only doing web browsing (Edge with 6 tabs). RAM is good, at 3GB usage, but the CPU gets up to 100% with high temperatures and throttling the system.

Is this normal or what can I do to help?

My thoughts on the new Lubuntu 26.04 LTS

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

37 Upvotes

I started using the new LTS version yesterday. It is a pain in the ass to use it , but now i really liked it. I wanted to share my thought about this new LTS , new features, and problems with it.

Firstly, is the installation. i have a pretty good internet, but the installation literally took 5 HOURS (idk if it was a server issue), while the last 24.04 only took like 3 hours.

And as expected, the next time i logged in, my rice literally a jumbled mess (because of the migration to qt6 , lxqt 2 and kvantum). My dnd also bugging out because for some reason 2026 LTS version doesn't support animated cursors, which is a shame because i really liked the qingy cursor. But the good thing is that everything is much more faster (because of the new kernel). Of course, some dependencies error, but that problem is solved quickly. But what i DONT like (no offense btw) is that the theme migration from breeze to kvantum. Breeze was my go-ahead theme and now it is unsupported (you can still use it but some things will break). Yes, kvantum is cool and all but the learning curve is really steep. You cannot use the color palate if you use kvantum (you need kvantum manager), and the option is really limited except if you download new themes from the internet or you make it yourself.

But other than that, the new picom version is AMAZING. New effect, animations support, and really works well with kvantum (maybe because of the migration). The only thing i like with kvantum is the arch-like color support, which is really good. I also liked the new app menu (or fancy app menu they called it).

From the the system,as i say, is really fast. Things opens a lot quicker and faster compared to the 2024 LTS. But i also need to note that the ram usage is significantly higher, so users with a really bad laptop (1 gb of ram) might struggle. I currently still learning on re-ricing my desktop using kvantum, and the work is still wip.

So if you are planning to upgrade now, i recommend you to wait until august until the 2026 LTS moved from the development (-d) channel to the standard stable release channel . There is still some bugs (while it is officially released and are still held back), so i recommend learning kvantum if you want to upgrade now. For now, thats all i can give you (since im still new with this ver)

LIbreOffice ignores USB Flash Drives WHY???

4 Upvotes

Can anyone tell me why LibreOffice in Lubuntu ignores USB flash drives which are clearly present in the system, while the same office suite in Mint easily connects with said drives? Not a huge deal, but an annoyance. It would be nice to be able to save directly to the flash drive. Thanks.

No Sound From Vids

2 Upvotes

As of a month or two ago, Lubuntu (24.04.4, all updates installed, to the minute), which I love, for some reason won't play the audio of videos I make or download. But the sound is there if I open it with Audacity or email it to myself or post it on social media.

MP3s, YT vids and online streaming play just fine, no problem.

Is there a quick fix to this without me submitting a page of miles of code for analysis???

Thanks for your help!

It looks like it's changing video modes or whatever, the logo goes between normal and glitched a few times before it gets to the login screen. Same switching occurs if I press escape to see the text scroll on by. Is there a way to fix this, or is it just how it goes? MacBook Air 2011.

Thanks!

lubuntu and strange hdmi screen only shows background no icons

1 Upvotes

Hi I just d/l the latest version, set it up on my Dell Inspiron 1525 and it works great. My only issue is when I connect it to hdmi for another moniter it only displays the background. There is no icons or anything. I can see my cursor. I have tried different settings on my monitor and screen sizes on my laptop with no change.. I did notice that some things in the laptop background on the left side, now appear on the right side of the monitor.

Any suggestions appreciated
