    I haven't tested it recently but I have installed it on Ubuntu with no major issues.

    What problem are you having?

    Permissions. It was me talking it over with Vincent in FN_Sysop...

    From memory... After the setup script finished, I logged in as the MBSE
    user: Lubuntu forgot what that MBSE user had access to.

    I've got to repeat the experiment again, later in the year. I have other tasks. :)

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Poster in FN_SYSOP (Paul) reported a problem using lubuntu but he did not say what so
    I have asked for exact issues but I am guessing it starts with SETUP.sh as that
    does not appear to support ubuntu at least according to my reading of it :)

    See other posts as he has now posted here.

    SETUP.sh does support Ubuntu; however I'll have to check and see if there's some obscure difference in Lubuntu that causes it to fail.
