[lubuntu-users] Cosmic Lu - NEXT 18.10 --installed via "-d" modifier

[Fritz Hudnut]

AG & Israel:

So the the "-d" was the ticket, said it was going to take 2 hours to
upgrade, took maybe 45- 55 minutes . . . and in reboot, back into more or
less the "same" GUI . . . seems like the icons are a little more matte . .
. .  I'll have to spend more time with it to find out the differences.  One
thing I noticed is that the words/letters of the fonts in the "Brightness"
app were rough and blurry, whereas over here in FF the fonts are fine.
This seems to be something that has occurred in past versions of ubuntu,
perhaps some setting in the fonts preferences was changed?  I forget how
that problem that seemed to show up in specific application fonts was fixed
. . . .

Only other immediate "issue" was that the splash says "ubuntu 18.10" . . .
but log in window is the newer "lubuntu" version.

Thanks for the help on it . . .
