It seems there's an upstream issue specifically about swapfiles.

This is fixed in Eoan:

Whoo hoo it works!!!

This is the incorrect solution. @Tj is working on the actual fix.

BTW here's some stuff from the previous version of this bug:

Looks like MATE no longer installs the theme by default because it's problematic with some hardware it seems. Curious.

Debian has the fix here:

Yes, that's what I'm referring to with the first question— how exactly one updates it. As I said above, I'm confirming one just clones, runs the update script, and commits?

Ok, what about lubuntu-meta?

I think the problem with that is that we have designed the whole system around a particular look. There's always been a set of colors (or at least a family of color tones) that we have used. We've had optional wallpapers before, but the default has always been something we designed. The nice thing about that is we can limit the amount of colors in it, which makes it blend better with the rest of the system. With photographs, this is much more difficult.

That's some pretty extensive testing to say it's not an issue. Perhaps @tsimonq2 has problems with his battery or a more core system. Either way, I think it's clear it's not an LXQt issue.

Yep

This task remains here so that it does get added there.

Spite closes things, dummy.

The sloppy way we dealt with release notes and the website indicates how important things like this are.

It better be done. Cuz it's out.

It looks like the open stuff never got fixed, but oh well.

@hmollercl you're probably right, but I've seen cases where live works but the install doesn't. In any case, I want to know what Ubuntu proper does so we can emulate that. You have any interest in digging into that quagmire?
