[lubuntu-devel] Annoyances after the Lubuntu 18.10 update

[Lyn Perrine]

The last part actually won't be needed in 20.04 as those are apps that are
not in 18.10 but rather old things from 18.04 That command is only the old
GTK based apps that would become redundant in 18.10 and would clutter your
menus and not be the nicest expirence. The normal way to report bugs is
`ubuntu-bug <package-name> ` or in this case if you followed that guide the
display manager should be sddm so run ubuntu-bug sddm
