- 1. Start the live ISO for Lubuntu Plucky 20250410.1 or 20250411.
- 2. Select "Try Lubuntu."
- 3. Use the key combo "Ctrl + Alt + T" to open the terminal.
- 4. One of: `sudo{{vim,nano,emacs}, -E {featherpad,kate}}
/etc/calamares/modules/pkgselect.conf` (where the braces represent one of
several options you may select, recursively.)
- 5. Under `regular_install_packages:` (in the same format as the other
packages), add " - libreoffice-help-is", then save/edit the file.
- 6. In a terminal, run `sudo -E /usr/bin/calamares-launch-normal` (which is
the command in the `Exec` line of `~/Desktop/lubuntu-calamares.desktop`).
- 7. Assuming you have an internet connection, continue through all menus with
all current settings (with the exception of keyboard, language, and
partitioning as necessary, that doesn't matter). You *must not* select Minimal.
- 8. Wait 5 minutes.
