[Lubuntu-desktop] Backports for 10.10 (Maverick) and 10.04 (Lucid)
Hi, If you are using the LXDE backport PPA [1], you will receive some updates :) It contains all the changes done to LXDE components in Natty, backported to Maverick and Lucid. If you want to test new LXDE stuff from Natty, without upgrading all your desktop to Natty (which not really recommends for a non-testing configuration ATM), you can use this PPA. This is also part of the longer support we will offer for 10.04 users.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Natty A1: Install hang at options screen; failure to boot clean install.
Hello all. I was having trouble getting beyond the options screen when trying to install Natty a1 from a live CD. This was solved by setting acpi=off, (F6 at options list) during install. This necessitates editing the grub menu at boot adding acpi=off to the Linux line. To avoid editing at every boot the etc/default/grub also needs to be edited: acpi=off in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line. (Added between the quotes at the end of the line). Of course, this means no battery charge indicator on a laptop. (My machine also required the power button to be pushed in order to shut down properly). I went back to 10.10 did a release upgrade, which went well. However I could not boot into Lubuntu with the 2.6.37-10 kernel without setting acpi=off again (as above). Booting the 2.6.35-23 kernel has solved all of the issues I've mentioned (up to now).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New stuff in Natty (and some in Backports)
Hiyas Julien, is this for alpha2 of lubuntu 11.04? As I would need to grab the iso and also update the wiki area at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing Regards, Phill.

(LP: #621689). It means that you can now save the configuration made by lxrandr. We still need a real application to configure display, but in the meantime it should be enough. lxappareance: New version available (0.5.0) Add a tab for font configuration. (LP: #591426). You can now configure font directly in lxappareance. lxappearance-obconf: The plugin for lxappareance to configure openbox directly in lxappareance. lxpanel: Add configuration for desktop number for the pager plugin. It will launch obconf to configure the number of desktops when you right-click on the workspace applet. It works also with compiz and its settings manager. pcmanfm: New version available (0.9.8) Fix fake transparency (LP: #566056). You should be able to set fake transparency in lxpanel and lxterminal now. Desktop icons are now movable (Closes: #535814) (LP: #644259). All thoses changes are available in the backport PPA for LXDE. The others changes only apply to Natty : lubuntu-artwork : New lubuntu-text theme for plymouth. Update with elementary icon theme 2.6. lubuntu-default-settings: Switch to Ubuntu 11 font. The font is now the same that Ubuntu. lubuntu-meta (the seed): Added gecko-mediaplayer to desktop (to see video in chromium) Added icedtea-plugin to desktop (for java support) Added gvfs-backends to desktop (LP: #675212) Added audacious to desktop Added audacious-plugins to desktop Added file-roller to desktop Removed aqualung from desktop Removed cheese from desktop Removed xarchiver from desktop Others new stuff are in progress ;) Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktophttps://launchpad.net/%7Elubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktophttps://launchpad.net/%7Elubuntu-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

But, pcmanfm doesn’t get updated in 10.04 because it has pcmanfm2.
