No problem. It should be a trivial thing to resolve. Thanks so much for bringing it up!

I don't have the time at the moment to work on this task.

There's an upstream discussion on porting LXQt to Qt6 and the tl;dr is:

When I originally wrote this, I really hadn't looked into the mechanisms employed in the Ubuntu minimal install. I'm not sure why I'm shocked to find this, but it looks like it's a simple matter of package removal.

Sounds resolved to me.

I will assume this has been long resolved.

The only reason I said that is because you said "you would need to be mounting files from an install."

One comment, though: I do think this is something that should be able to be done in situ. Do you have good reason to think otherwise @kc2bez ?

This should be taken care of on the installer side of things now. The only question that remains is what do we do about existing installs? I think @wxl 's fix is probably sufficient for the number of support cases this is likely to have. It is a bit of an edge case to have. You would need to be mounting files from an install. Maybe we just backpocket that as documentation and point folks towards it if/when they bump into it?

The installer creates a swapfile (512M) (initially chosen selection) on the automatic erase disk option. No swap is also an option that is available. This has been released to Hirsute for Lubuntu. All tests so far have been positive.

Hirsute install on d755-8 shows $UID and $GROUPS both containing 1000
A quick look in /etc/shadow & /etc/passwd and I see reference to 1000/1000 gone, now only 1000

picom is in Groovy and beyond, so I'm changing the scope here.

According to the first part of the task description, this task is not resolved:

@apt-ghetto correct me if I'm wrong, but this issue seems to be completely resolved, right? Should I close this?

Looks like I added this for 20.10

This change is in proposed now for new Hirsute installs.

This change is in proposed now for new installs.

Here's a potential fix for already installed systems.

Discourse is done: T94.

Raman requested I test this.

@guiverc filed as a bug report this looks like a Wishlist-importance thing as they're asking Calamares (Lubuntu) to support OEM install, so I'm going to likely set it as such "soon".
