Hi everyone, This is my first email to the list and this is my first test ever so please, be patient :)
I have two Test Desktop PCs, each with P4 @3.0GHz but one with 2GB RAM and the other with 512MB RAM (with the ability to share its RAM). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Test No.1* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PC: P4 3.0GHz - 2GB RAM - 40GB IDE HDD - Intel Graphics Card *(driver=i915) * Media: Lubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 LiveCD - 32 bit --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1- Try Lubuntu without installation does not work and drop you to CLI. Typing "*starx*" command will take you to LXDE Desktop with LXDE wallpaper instead of Lubuntu Desktop. There is an icon on the LXDE Desktop to Install Lubuntu. Reboot done ... 2- Install Lubuntu Option > Quit > Quit > Lubuntu Desktop. Please note that I used to do the same with Lubuntu 11.04. 3- I chose "Something Else" and created a new Partition (sda9) with *3.91GB*from un-allocated disk space. Please note that I'm Multi-Booting several Distros on this test PC. GRUB was installed into sda9 not MBR (sda). Installation was smooth and errors-free. > After > Installation<http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8206>< 4- Choose a Picture during the installation process simple does nothing. Even when I took a picture, it didn't show it on the preview small box. http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8210 Apparently, it's a new feature but I'm not sure how does it work? 5- "Removable Medium is inserted" pop-up window during installation. Not sure if that's a bug or something?! http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8211 6- Continue Testing OR Reboot > Reboot > Please remove installation media and press Enter - Not Responding when Press Enter > Force Reboot - Ctrl+Alt+Del > "Press Enter to reboot msg" > Reboot Done. Not sure if that's an error or something but I recall I got the same with other LiveCD and other Distros, mainly Ubuntu-Based. Installation done ... rebooted. 7- Wallpapers are really nice and getting better. Good job :) 8- Sometimes, the menu doesn't disappear even after making a selection: http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8205 Clicking on the desktop does nothing. I had to go to menu and click there twice and then it disappeared. 9- Looks like "Enable Networking" and "Enable Wireless" does nothing: http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8204 It's not 'ticked' or 'selected'. Looks like a bug? 10- Customize Look and Feel > Window Border > No Preview http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432&pictureid=8207 11- Some apps are not installed. I suggest to include these apps. IMHO, I see it's good to have these: a- *numlockx* b- *dnsmasq *(http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31326) c- *GParted* d- *Flash Player* 12- LSC installed: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lubuntu-software-center I'm finding it a bit hard to deal with. For example, you need to Double Click on a Category and it takes sometime until the contents show up. Search Box is disabled until you choose a Category and that means if you don't know in which Category the application or program you want is included then you need to select "All". I was looking for Firefox to install but couldn't easily find it because I got many selections. Not to mention I got some Crash Error and it was asking to report this problem. 13- Crash Report sometimes with Chromium and PCManFM. 14- I see too many themes, widget, etc are installed by default. I suggest (IMHO) to remove the extra themes and give users the choice to install these after installing Lubuntu 11.10 in case they want to. Perhaps PPA for all these extra themes? won't that reduce some size? perhaps I'm wrong and it's just a suggestion. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, that's all for now. I'm also done with two other tests on the other PC, one from LiveCD and the other from LiveUSB. Got some stuff to share with you but guess that will be later because I must go now. Thank you for your time :) -- Best Regards, *A.J amjjawad* My Blog <http://amjjawad.wordpress.com> My Wiki Page <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad> My Launchpad <https://launchpad.net/%7Eamjjawad> My Ubuntu Forum Profile <http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=941822>
