[Lubuntu-desktop] New LXKeymap version with autostart support
Hi, as I got a lot of requests to implement an autostart feature for lxkeymap I did it. LXKeymap 0.5 is now capable to store its keymap configuration into a file that it reads out during autostart. Therefore I wrote a little *.desktop file that I put in the global /etc/xdg/autostart which contains the new command lxkeymap -a to trigger the autostart function of lxkeymap. The Keymap configuration will be stored locally in your home directory ( ~/.config/lxkeymap.cfg) and is easily editable either by using lxkeymap and set a new keymap or by editing it by hand. You can get this version from here: http://content.wuala.com/contents/leszek/Dokumente/Share/lxkeymap_0.5-0ubuntu1_all.deb?dl=1 If you notice any bugs then report them here: http://launchpad.net/lxkeymap Also I guess there is a bug in lxdm, because changing the keyboard layout in the session and logging out to lxdm does not restore the global keymap but uses the one choosen in the session. This could be also fixed by simply calling lxkeymap -a from within lxdm but as lxkeymap uses only a local configuration it would then create and use the root accounts .config/lxkeymap.cfg file. So you need to create this first by executing lxkeymap as root if you want to have a different keymap globally+lxdm and your user accounts. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?
Am 09.11.2011 10:55, schrieb Chris: Bonjour Jean-Pierre, I don't know if this is correct, but I'm a little concerned for if the machines will support the test? We're talking about Pentium 3 4 and 256 to 512 ram. It's like Ali said, it's just a script which does some automated actions, like see what the CPU usage and MEM consumption. The idea for now is just shutting down all current processes of chromium-browser/firefox (or just checking if it's already running or completely shutting down) and starting a default set of tabs. That way the results should be comparable and doable for every machine. With metta, Chris Its somehow funny to see everyone trying to look into the memory consumption of firefox vs. chromium. But I just want keep in mind that those aren't the only criteria for firefox vs. chromium. Don't forget to compare them feature wise. In my view Chromium offers still better features than firefox. Just look at the HTML5 capabilities it just beats firefox here with in my view important things just like HTML5 videoplayback (H264 is supported) or the fact that every browser tab in chromium is running as a different process in a sandbox which makes a crash of one tab not concerning for other tabs. Also the startup time of chromium is still far better than the one of firefox. Chromium also offers some little nice features like a incognito mode that can be used alongside with the normal browsing mode (which firefox does not have, as it closes the 'normal' browser and opens with a incognito profile) The memory consumption is nearly the same. Chromium seems to have a lower memory consumption when it comes to a few open tabs. If you have more than 5 tabs open firefox might be lower on memory consumption but this is only my impression so far(I did not do any tests on it). If you want to dig deep into the materia I guess reading out /proc processes is the right way to go, or you could use the kde systemmonitor (sysguard) which offers the most accurate memory consumption details of all the systemmonitors so far (even giving you a list of /proc processes it analyzed) All in all I am in flavor of Chromium as its still faster and offers the better features. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Am 09.11.2011 15:55, schrieb A. Andjelkovic: Let's not think in terms of This is what I would prefer but rather This is what a user on a low spec machine would prefer. Isn't that the same ? I am running Chromium here on a 800 Mhz ARM Cortex A8 with 256 MB RAM. I guess that is a low machine. If you get to even lower hardware than both browsers feel slugish. Let's not start a war here... I don't want to be rude, but please keep such personal opinions out of this discussion. If you only choose software on the base of how much ram they use on ancient hardware then you will definitely fail in delivering a good user experience. Personal opinions matter a lot if they are supported by good arguments. And no I don't want to start a war here. I just want to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both browsers. Google is dropping H264 support: http://blog.chromium.org/2011/01/html-video-codec-support-in-chrome.html Google Chrome != Chromium Firefox might do that in the future also, but it costs memory to sandbox each browser tab. And I believe Chromium cheats: when available memory gets too low, tabs begin sharing the same process so it's a bit harder to know what's really going on. At least from the user perspective you have still the advantage that one tab cannot crash the whole browser. While I'm not a Google-hater, I think it's very important for the free web that Mozilla continues to exist. Since Mozilla is a bit more open than Chromium and multiple steps more open than Android, I think open source fans should consider supporting Firefox if the features are nearly equal, which in my opinion they are. This is why I hope Firefox continues to remain the Ubuntu default browser. Since Lubuntu has different constraints in choosing default apps, I'll let Julien and the Lubuntu devs make their own evaluation. Both browsers are fully supported in Ubuntu (Canonical is looking to hire someone who can help maintain Chromium). I really don't think that if Lubuntu would ship Chromium instead of Firefox it will hurt Mozilla soo much that they have to fear their existens. And to be clear here, if we would to have choose a non free vs. a free software then I would also argue its definitely better to promote the free software. But in our case we have to made a choice between two free software products. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The development is stalled right now as I have a lot of other things to do right now (until the end of winter). Planned is a configuration file in which you can set icons and execute commandlines.

Glade as the tool to build UIs from version 2.0 has the capability to use gtkbuilder to build its ui forms. Also the ubuntu programming infrastructure quickly uses glade (again the tool) with its default gtkbuilder capabilities. So as far as I see it we don't have any big problem or are they UIs that use the glade library instead the gtkbuilder library in Lubuntu ?
