I just want to say thanks to everyone who has participated in these
mailing lists over this past cycle, whether it's helping other people,
reporting problems for us to solve, or discussing issues in general, you
all are very much appreciated. :)
If anyone is lurking and wanting to get more involved with the project,
now's your time to reach out. At the start of the 19.04 cycle we're
going to have a lot to do, and not just in terms of technical tasks, but
the Lubuntu Manual needs some more work as well as other non-technical
tasks. Feel free to send me an email with what you would like to help
with, and we can find a place for you. That's what at least seven people
(listed on the release announcement) did throughout the cycle, and we
found a place for them where every single one of them has made an
incredible impact on the project. It could be you, seriously!
Until the 19.04 codename is announced, I would encourage Lubuntu
contributors to take a short break if there's nothing to help with with
respect to 18.10. I'll personally be taking a short break from directly
contributing until the codename is announced, with the exception of
packages that need to be uploaded.
Thanks again, and have a good night.
All:
I began testing Lubuntu 18.10, and ran into some things that are
different, which I wanted to ask about before I start making assumptions.
1. I usually test 32-bit systems first. I noticed that a 32-bit DVD
or USB would go a very long time without booting on a machine with
64-bit hardware. I gave up trying to boot it after about 10 minutes.
There was no indication of a problem - it just took too long to boot
(I finally gave up), from either USB or DVD. However, that same
live-DVD system booted fine on a machine with 32-bit hardware. In the
past, I could install a 32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware, but it appears
it will not even boot on 18.10 (and there is no error indication). Is
this behavior expected?
2. I don't use QWERTY keyboard layout, so I change the keyboard layout
to English-Dvorak. On Lubuntu 18.10, I was unable to figure out how
to do that. If I keep trying, I may discover a way. How do you
change the keyboard layout on Lubuntu 18.10?
3. On past levels of Lubuntu, Thunderbird Mail was the e-mail client.
I have had bad experiences in the past migrating to new e-mail
clients, which appears to be necessary with Lubuntu 18.10. I realize
using Thunderbird Mail on Lubuntu 18.10 would cause a large number of
libraries to be installed. But if I am willing to put up with that,
will Thunderbird Mail work on Lubuntu 18.10?

Regarding item 1, the 32-bit DVD boots successfully (and installs a
system) as long as it is booted on 32-bit hardware. It won't boot on
64-bit hardware, and I think after a long-time, it reported an error
that it couldn't find the bootable file (something like that). The
32-bit USB boots successfully on a 32-bit machine, but not on a 64-bit
machine.
On item 2, I figured out how to change keyboard layouts. It's very much
like the prior level (I don't know why I didn't think of that). You
insert a keyboard control widget in the panel, and use that to add a new
layout (DVORAK), and switch to it.
On item 3, I had to install a number of gnome-based tools (such a
gdebi), and they worked okay, so perhaps Thunderbird Mail may work (I
hope).

Hi Aere,
I am able to boot Lubuntu 18.10 in my Toshiba laptop with 64-bit
architecture both in UEFI and BIOS mode.

I used mkusb to create a persistent live drive (using default settings).
Maybe your problem depends on the tool you use to create the live drive,
or maybe it depends on the particular 64-bit computer, maybe there is
another problem.
Best regards
Nio
