It is the desktop. Lubuntu is lightweight.

 As regards Linux, I have to question whether it isn't the desktop rather
 than the distro which affects the bloatware content.

 and KDE v4.x just got too bloated for my tastes)

12.10 is beta, right?

2012/9/24 Andrew Brunner atbrun...@aurawin.com

 Is anyone running Lazarus 1.1 on Ubuntu 12.10x64?

 I'm having problems getting lazarus to startup.  Is anyone else having
 success or confirmed problems?

Ubuntu is a consistent work in progress.   After every major release 
they take the code base and extend it with certain goals.  There are 2 
major releases a year each with goals to meet.


The time between releases has daily (sometimes twice a day) builds with 
changes.  We test the changes and submit problems we have.


There are no betas in the conventional sense.   Just rolling builds.

12.10 is going to be released in a number of weeks.  So if there is an 
issue with API from GTK3 not playing with GTK2 nice someone (from 
lazarus) should file a report so when 12.10 comes out - Lazarus 1.1 will 
compile and work as Lazarus users need.


From a business standpoint, imo, Lazarus is the best thing for Linux, 
so targeting the best distro for maximum quality is very wise.  It is 
acceptable if some distros don't work well - but it is imperative that 
the top distros are supported with quality.


// optional reading as it maybe offensive to some :-)

Ubuntu is the high-end linux distro - as it compares to OSX and Windows 
7.  Meaning graphics, video performance, and bloat-ware installed.  If 
comparing linux distros via a minimalist lens the evaluation result 
may be different.  But for industry comparisons - bloated desktops - it 
is superior.

Do you have more information?  Back traces?  Maybe unity is causing more
problems (remember liboverlay?).

GTK3 bindings are not done yet. They will use a completely new
codebase instead of deriving from the messy GTK2 binding code.
Until that you should install the GTK2 libraries in your Ubuntu. I
believe they are still available.

I can get more info.  The problems are ubiquitous.
It may just be easier to wait for release of 12.10 then fire off reports.

[Lazarus] Lazarus on Ubuntu 12.10 daily x64

2012-09-24 Thread Andrew Brunner

Using svn lazarus trunk on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 daily has been problematic.

It's pretty much crashing everywhere.  From selecting forms to 
positioning elements.   Pixbuf exceptions everywhere.


I've had issues with lazarus for a while now just waiting for some 
improvements to use it.  I had much success with previous checkouts.


Downloading Debian from lazarus.freepascal.org and installing on 12.10 
does not work either :-)


I'll file some reports but just a heads up to lazarus team that 12.10 is 
rapidly approaching.
