System works with a few quirks. *Install experiences** Chose "manual install" (it had a previous install on it) * When the installer showed what the 'before' and 'after' hard drive partitioning would look like, they were identical. Which is strange but the install worked *Login screen*Before any key is pressed, the screen shows that keyboard layout is 'US'. As soon as I started typing a password, the layout would be displayed correctly as a British keyboard. Not sure what to test for - not having experimented with graphics much. Tried Accessories -> Compton. Hard drive whirred for a while. Nothing else. As per instructions, installed new compton from ppa:wxl. No problem. Rebooted and used system to install SuperTux. No problem Used provided share.riseup.net URL to download sddm-config-editor. Did a chmod +x on it and ran it directly from ~/Downloads directory. Wasn't sure what to test so decided on setting "General->Initial NumLock state" to "on". Quit it. Ran it again - "General->Initial NumLock state" was still "None". Rebooted. Noticed that "NumLock" is ON but sddm-config-editor does not reflect this. *By the way...*Lubuntu looking and running better than before. Well done!
