Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu, energy efficiency and sustainable computing
Hi John: 1) Other Lubuntu users like me. Did the environment factor into your decision to start using Lubuntu? Did you use it to bring an old machine back to life? The reason i had to use this OS is that my machine was not working at all with XP and since with a P3 256 ram there's not a lot of OS that runs smoothly and are functional, i tried a lot of systems since i found it crazy to change a healthy machine because of it's OS! One day i found Lubuntu, tried it... and stayed with it since! For me, it has all the benefits of Ubuntu but it's very simple, clean... and really fast. Later, I even installed in a very old amd-k6 and runs nice. 2) Some data indicating that Lubuntu is more energy efficient. I've seen some claims along those lines, but does anyone have any proof that Lubuntu uses less electricity? I could not tell you with scientific proofs, but with Lubuntu my battery that has 10 years can work for more or less 1,6 hours (starting with the battery as power source) and i find it incredible... even once it lasted two hours, starting connected to AC power. With Ubuntu or XP is about 1 hour only. -- jpxsat Ubuntu user #29.157 (Lubuntu 10.04) Linux user #522.597 ___ 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

I can't find a bug report for this, anybody having this problem. It may be a function of my old Intel i180, although I have another Natty install which doesn't have this problem but, this was an upgrade from Maverick not a clean install. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/703658 Thanks for that. I think I was searching for 'ldm' not 'lxdm' which is why I couldn't find it. The response times still rather slow though. I've filed a bug #719582.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Lxde-list] Plan to have a new release for pcmanfm/libfm recently.
Le mardi 15 février 2011 à 08:40 +0800, PCMan a écrit : Hi, This month I got some time for coding and hacking. So I started to fixed the bugs currently in our bug tracker. I already fixed part of them and a new release is planned. Now it should compile with either glib = 2.26 or glib = 2.27. When glib = 2.27 is used to compile libfm, the gio module won't be built anymore. Make sure that you have uninstalled old version first or the old gio module can create problems. Please help test the latest source code in git and report the problems encountered. (if possible, with gdb backtrace included) Some strings might be changed to fix usability issues during the period, but I will try to change as few strings as possible. The release date is not set since this new release should be approved by our packagers/testers after proper testing and QA. Thanks. For Lubuntu Natty users, you can find an up-to-date version on Lubuntu PPA : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+archive/ppa Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ 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
