Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] How can I help make Lubuntu be tter, I’m not a programmer.

For those who would like to help with bug triaging there is a session in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net, Basics of Bug Triaging, on Wed 15th December at 17:00 UTC. Reporting bugs is also important. If you feel this is complicated or are not sure how to do a report, drop a mail to the list or call in to the IRC channel #lubuntu on irc.freenode.net somebody will help, eventually, be patient. You can also help with translations, even us English speakers. Again, ask the mailing list or IRC if you want to help. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ 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 Yorvyk, What a timely post to the list. I was just reading http://www.granneman.com/techinfo/linux/contributewithoutcoding.htm as someone pasted a link in another Ubuntu channel. I am another one of these people who took a LONG time to find my way into helping out where I can even though I can't code or program anything to save my life. I'd recommend people have a read of the link for some inspiration if anyone is looking for something to do as a general tool (it's far from Lubuntu specific but a lot of the ideas can be transferred to the Lubuntu team). While Yorvyk has put his hand up for bug triaging I would also like to let people know I am available to help in the non-technical efforts to anyone. I would recommend attending a bug triaging class even if it's just to watch and get a better understanding how it all goes together.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] proxy setup?
Installed Rabbit4.8 (a simple java proxy, which is really easy to use by the way), and got it up and running in no time. Probably squid is also easy to set up, I just did not have the time to try it. LXProxy is not acceptable for me, since logging out and back again is not something I would do for a proxy setting change. Unfortunatelly in Chromium 8.0.552.215 (67652) Ubuntu 10.10, I can not add proxy configuration to my browser. When I click on Change proxy settings, I'm getting: When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration. But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man chromium-browser for more information on flags and environment variables. This is too bad. Is this also related to the fact that LXDE is a simple window manager ? (bug related to the issue that Chromium can not determine if it's default browser or not): https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=53066 Installed Midori and FF, both could be configured to use the above mentioned proxy (in general, proxies could be added to these browsers). thanks Zoltan ___ 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

LXProxy is not acceptable for me, since logging out and back again is not something I would do for a proxy setting change. There is simply no other way around for setting a global proxy(someone correct me if I am wrong). LXDE simply must reread the ~/.profile file for the proxy settings to globally apply. One alternative for you might be that you can start a terminal and execute source ~/.profile right after a proxy change in lxproxy, which will then load the proxy changes you made for this terminal window. So running chromium or another app will use then the shortly changed proxy settings. Unfortunatelly in Chromium 8.0.552.215 (67652) Ubuntu 10.10, I can not add proxy configuration to my browser.

(bug related to the issue that Chromium can not determine if it's default browser or not): https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=53066 I think chromium simply looks for the gnome gconf entries and not the freedesktop specification in xdg Installed Midori and FF, both could be configured to use the above mentioned proxy (in general, proxies could be added to these browsers). Yes those browsers have their own proxy managers on board. But you cannot set a global proxy for every app with them. thanks Zoltan ___ 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 ___ 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

Besides it’s easy enough to do. Just create the appropriate .desktop files in the Desktop folder.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] lxde on slax
Yes, I know, but most people (who came from Windows) would like to see a (working) Trash and a "My PC" or something like that to access. That's why Windows 7 was so cold for them, it showed an empty desktop that confused a lot of users. But I don't really know if that Slax trash works (changes its status). ___ 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
[Lubuntu-desktop] 1) Lubuntu with encrypted home + 2)LibreOffice Impress works!
1) I tried installing to my netbook, choosing encrypted home. That didn't work out well, and my problems seem largely to match those reported under the bug encrypted home-folder not unlocked when login in Launchpad. I am not so good at deciphering the current situation with this issue. Can someone help me? Is there a way of getting Ubuntu with encrypted home at the moment? 2) I have previously posted about my problem to get subscripts display properly in OpenOffice Impress under lxde + ubuntu which has caused me to use the Fedora LXDE respin instead. I now tried LibreOffice RC1 in Lubuntu and the problem is gone! So one reason to stay away from Lubuntu is resolved.
