This is now an optional extra that can be installed by those who want this added functionality. * Lubuntu PPC Mac images are available in this [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | LTS]] release. == Lubuntu Applications == ##Update applications if applicable * Based on the lightweight [[http://lxde.org/ | LXDE desktop environment]]. * [[http://wiki.lxde.org/en/PCManFM | Pcmanfm]], a fast and lightweight files manager using gio/gvfs. * [[http://openbox.org/ | Openbox]], the fast and extensible, default windows-manager of LXDE. * [[https://launchpad.net/lightdm | Lightdm]], using the simple GTK greeter * Firefox, the famous web browser. * For more detail, please see the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Setup#Applications | full list of applications]]. == System Requirements == Lubuntu is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule of thumb is that the computer should not pre-date 2000. The desktop images for lubuntu 16.04 requires a DVD / USB device to write it to, the alternate images are for those with have non-standard setups or Low RAM. '''Memory (RAM)''' For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Docs and Facebook, your computer needs about 1 GB of RAM. For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your computer needs about 512 MB of RAM. See [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall | minimal]] for systems below that RAM. '''Processor (CPU)''' The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and AMD K7 has problems with flash video. '''Graphics chip / card''' Nvidia, AMD/ATI/Radeon and Intel work out of the box, or the system can be tweaked to work fairly easily. You can get help at the [[http://ubuntuforums.org|Ubuntu Forums]]. With such graphics, or if you don't know, try the current Lubuntu version. == Upgrade == * Celeron M computers can have trouble installing, [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions/before--after|workaround exists.]] == Ubuntu Release notes == * For a full list of issues and features common to Ubuntu, please refer to the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes | Ubuntu release notes]]. = Known Problems = == Common Infrastructure == For bugs affecting all flavors, please refer to the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes | Ubuntu release notes]]. == Lubuntu Applications == This is our list of known bugs affecting applications that Lubuntu uses but relies on others to maintain. * Abiword language selector text cut off in abiword ([[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/1484785 | 1484785]]). * gnumeric menu ->help ->about gnumeric -> license button, does not work.
