[Lubuntu-desktop] iso disc defects
From my blog, by Anonymous: Anonymous has left a new comment on your post Lubuntu Natty alpha 2http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/2011/02/lubuntu-natty-alpha-2.html: Lubuntu LiveCD starts to boot - Check disc for defects - Check finished: errors found in 1 files! (ISO MD5 checksum is correct, VirtualBox 3.2.12) I had no problems.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: [ubuntu-uk] Lubuntu
I thought I'd forward this on, it's nice when people take the time to say 'thanks' :) Regards, Phill. -- Forwarded message -- From: gazz pmg...@gmx.co.uk Date: 10 February 2011 15:04 Subject: [ubuntu-uk] Lubuntu To: Talk UK Ubuntu ubuntu...@lists.ubuntu.com By the way, thanks to whomever suggested Lubuntu for my eeePC. I've finally had to bite down on the fact that it can't run Ubuntu Netbook sensibly with a 4GB USB HD even stripping out locales and other clutter and constantly cleaning up apt like a madwoman. Xubuntu's too big as well. I tried Puppy but whilst it's a really good little distro for non-techie's to do web/email/office, it's a bit of a shag learning a slack-based distro so you can get it to do *anything* else - and you end up having to compile everything onto it cos the package handler isn't really functional yet - then the compiler breaks if you install it to HD! DSL is grumpyl. I was contemplating slapping XFCE on Debian or something but obviously that isn't going to work for the non-techie users. I'm really looking for something with oob functinality for non-tech users that can revive the clapped out PCs used by lots of smaller charities (besides something low-hassle for the eeePC). Lubuntu does the job, your basic web/email/office stuff oob, and I can get stuff I need like sshfs and nfs clients etc working on the cli in 10 mins. Chromium gets on my nerves but I thought I'd try Midori which seems OK. Pity the swiftfox/swiftweasel projects seem a bit lacking in energy - need the functionality of FF but it just hogs ridiculous amounts of HD :( Anyway, Lubuntu's the first 'lite' Ubuntu flavour that really does the job oob yet is a grown-up OS which I could feel confident giving to non-techie charity orgs too.

Right on! Lubuntu hits the sweet spot that others have failed to find.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] iso disc defects (and build process documentation)

Is there any documentation on the LUbuntu CD image build process anywhere? If so, where? Is the creation of the LUbuntu ISO (including its md5sum used by the autotest menu entry) somewhat automated? I'd look at what broke, and tr to fix it, if only I knew what that process is and how to perform it on my own machine(s)! Can I/we do anything to help with this -- including updating whatever documentation of this process exists? It is mildly frustrating to want to help, have the necessary tech skills to help, but be unable to help -- because existing processes within this team are either not documented, or the docs are not readily discoverable. How can we, as the LUbuntu team, improve in this area? LUbuntu has created multiple ISOs already, and will create more... so let's get how we do that turned into shared, documented team knowledge, and ideally let's turn it into an automated, repeatable, and reliable process.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Suggestion: Move these apps from Preferences to System Tools (UPDATED)
Ah - I was going to but thought the other would be lost without the context (I'd not noticed your last mail was addressed to the list as opposed to just me). Sorry, still learning the ropes about this mailing list thing. Once more, good job!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] ENCRYPTION PROBLEM AFTER PERFORMING Install Lubuntu from Ubuntu or any other Ubuntu flavors

Being a beginner I'll work my way through them carefully and will let you know the eventual outcome. Sounds good to me. I suggest you also email (cc) the lubuntu-desktop mailing list, in case I am busy and someone else can step up and help you further. lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Also, are you familiar with online messaging such as IRC? This is a way for people to type at each other live which can be a very useful way to do support remotely. You can open http://webchat.freenode.net to get started, give yourself a nickname noone else is using, and get started by joining the channel #lubuntu -- that is the official LUbuntu support channel on freenode. I am often there in the evenings Pacific Time, so if I stay up really late I *might* be awake if you were to connect in the early morning UK time :) Hopefully what I wrote is enough to solve this for you, but if not, I suspect that helping you live might be easier and quicker than multiple emails back and forth. If you use Skype and are very lucky, you *might* find me on that, too... I live in Redlands, California if you search and find multiple Jonathan Marsden's on Skype. I'm not normally quite this busy, incidentally... I have my first board meeting for a board I was just elected to tonight, a talk to finish writing for a Linux User Group which I am presenting on Saturday, etc., in addition to normal work and family demands on my time! Anyway, just in case, please do cc the mailing list on any it worked or I tried and *this* happened, what should I try next? messages.
