I like such kind of discussion and I tend to agree with some opinions and disagree with others but after all, this is very healthy activity (discussion) but ... as always ... the real question is: isn't it pointless to discuss such thing without REAL figures? some guys already pointed that out, I guess. Long story short, my simple and humble opinion is: we need a group of people who do a survey to obtain such figures. No, I have no smart ideas of HOWTO do that but if we could discuss about this, that would be VERY helpful. Perhaps we are wasting our time here and there are only 2-3 users with such old machines? for me, Lubuntu 10.04 didn't work on this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1590614 while Mint LXDE 9 did. Both may be using the same kernel but I'm not really sure why Lubuntu didn't work. Also, perhaps they are many users that will be affected with that drop? so we need some figures. Just a thought I'd like to share with all, as usual :) Thanks! Yeah it's been put forward as an idea before but again, without an accurate way to get the information the straw poll we're conducting here is just as valid as an online survey because this is essentially an online survey. -- Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris ___ 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

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fw: Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin
Has anyone read the posts from the developers here? Julien asked for comment, Jonathan did some research and found that only Pentium I and a limited number of Pentium II mobiles and a sprinkling of even less other types of CPUs would be affected. I'm not certain but to me even for the Lubuntu goals this seems to be a very small user base. Can we stop thinking the worst and get back to going about the process of seeing if it will actually hinder the Lubuntu goals or not. The Ubuntu developers have only put it out as a something that MAY happen depending on feedback. We need to decide what sort of feedback the team needs to give. So to this end, my question is, is there a simple command people can run to see if their CPU can run PAE kernels? I would have thought if cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae would not give any output if the CPUs weren't capable? I'm not an expert so just wanting to confirm. That way, instead of just complaining we can request users run this, see if they will be affected and report back. We can then generate a team stance and report back to the Ubuntu developers with some real data. -- Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris ___ 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

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu and updates (wiki standards)
Jonathon, I'll reply as best as I can inline to try and make it easier to follow. If others have more up to date or correct information please jump in On 1 May 2011 16:38, Jonathan Marsden jmars...@fastmail.fm wrote: QUESTION #1: One issue I did not find clear info on is the combining of a #title line to provide a readable title when you also need tags. Per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tag : Tags should be added at the very top of a page, before any other text. However, this causes #title to fail (it gets treated as normal text and displayed!). But putting #title before the tag includes cause the includes not to display, as far as I can tell! What is the correct way to have both a #title line and tags on the same page? A page on which this is currently attempted (but not really working) is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide I spent an hour trying to solve this and the best I can come up with is that that page is referencing a help.u.c link (Tag/ContentCleanup) from within a wiki.u.c site so it probably needs to correct, full link as the help and wiki u.c sites are sort of linked but still separate I believe. Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. QUESTION #2: That style guide also claims to apply to the help wiki, but it has a major section about docbook tags in it, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/DocbookConventions . Can we *really* add docbook markup tags to wiki pages and expect them to do the right thing? That would be very cool, and sometimes useful -- but I don't think it would work! The documentation team is not just about wiki pages. They are moving more and more into DocBook work and further away from wikis as far as I can tell from the Documentation mailing list. So this information is put up on the wiki but actually refers to their work in the DocBook documentation. So in short, I wouldn't use DocBook markup on the wiki. I hope that helps you out a bit, please let me know if you were chasing more information on either of the questions.

That should take care of the wiki team tracking changes others make. Personally, if I find something I think needs changing in a wiki, I'm fairly likely to 'just do it' rather than seek out someone else to make the edit for me, unless I am unsure about what the right content should be. Wiki's are all about empowering everyone to make changes as needed to improve things :) Just doing it is a great way to get everything down, sometimes the formatting can be a pain in the backside to keep it up to standard though (from Ubuntu's perspective). So I'd always encourage anyone and everyone to add information to the wiki pages as they find them either wrong or not complete. If you aren't sure and are doing more than a little edit by all means just drop by the IRC channel or mailing list and ask someone to peruse it for you. We're more than happy to help with all the trimmings, just having someone willing to do the content more than makes our job easy (I do try to keep an eye to the edits as they come through on the subscribed pages as well though but it doesn't hurt to double check and if there are a lot it takes a while to go through them all).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Any major must fix before Beta issues left in Lubuntu?
Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to reduce the memory footprint of the installer for 11.04. We used the same than Ubuntu, which have some advantages (ex: shared development) and disadvantages (ex: memory usage is not the priority of the ubiquity devs). Installer need some improvements (reducing memory usage, add option to install only lubuntu-core ...), but it's not the easiest part of Lubuntu / Ubuntu :) The other question this poses is, is it really necessary to have a graphical installer as the default for Lubuntu? I just thought I'd ask the question, I personally have no qualms installing by either method. I understand the rationale for both having a graphical installer and using the Ubuntu default installation method but if it's going to go against one of the main functions of Lubuntu it might be worth considering the text based installer as the default? I just thought I'd throw it out there so all ideas are discussed, obviously, for 11.04 this is not going to happen but if the memory requirements continue to build I think having this brought up now would be useful to think about.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Any major must fix before Beta issues left in Lubuntu?
It needs to be a base system + X11 Otherwise it won't work. The other problem is the enormous effort and work we need to put in such a project. (e.g. I can promise you lots and lots of bugs, and yes I created an installer for ZevenOS-Neptune on my own, so I have a little experience in this) Sorry I didn't meant to suggest adding more work by writing our own installer. My suggestions just promote the alternate install cd for everyone who can't use the graphical (live) installer. Maybe we can one day also use the debian- live-installer (which is basically the textinstaller from debian but able to run and install from a live system) as an alternative to ubiquity. The problem I see from switching from ubiquity to X would be that lubuntu will never become an official flavor of ubuntu. (even kubuntu uses ubiquity under the hood and only created a kde'ish interface for it) I think the idea of promoting the alternate might work, maybe make it an equal of the ubiquity installer in LubuntuLand instead of a poor cousin as far as website space and documentation? This would also mean that there is no extra work in making it happen but still provides all the information for those wanting a light weight installation.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Really odd keyboard and mouse issue
How often is every now and then? Once a day? Once a month? :) If it is very infrequent, you will probably need to run monitoring tools all the time, so you can catch it in the act. The computer is on 24/7 but I'm obviously not at it, so for example today it has done it 3 times while I'm at the computer already in the space of a few hours. Other days it's not at all. (1) Based on the above, I would suggest running system monitoring tools to check what else the machine is doing when it is lagging your keyboard/mouse input. htop, iotop, jnettop will do for simple text-based what is doing a lot of work on my PC checking. vmstat and iostat might be worth a look too. I completely forgot about iotop, I've been running htop and can't see anything, the CPU is idling along at 1 - 3 % (3.2 P4 Prescott) and the RAM is using around 20% (2GB). Last time I had a really weird problem with a computer it turned out to be a faulty CPU cooler connection so I've been keeping an eye to the temps and they are all fine. (2) If you are comfortable working at the command line, you could also consider running the machine with no GUI (no X) -- no LXDE stuff at all, just plain old text mode consoles) for a while. If the issue goes away, you would then suspect that whatever is causing the problem is X related in some way. With enough time, you could then start X and run just an xterm or LXterminal window and see if that lags or not... and so on... slowly building back up towards a full LXDE GUI. Knowing what was added that started the problem up again would be a very big clue. Ah I was hoping this would have been tested with the SSH because this is my main IRC, IM, Web Browsing and Email machine here at home. (3) If you have another spare test machine, try setting it up as close to identical to the first one as you can, documenting how to do that step by step. Then, see if you can reproduce the problem on the second machine too. If you can reproduce it there, you now have accurate and tested step-by-step how to reproduce information for the bug report, which could be very handy for others trying to duplicate and track down the issue :) Realistically, this kind of weird stuff happens occasionally issue is going to be hard to track down. Hopefully the above suggestions will help, if you decide you have the patience to really work on doing that. Thanks for your thoughts I have already started up iotop so I'll see how that goes. I was half hoping there would be a oh I had that problem and did this solution, but I think that was a bit of wishful thinking. I will make sure I let everyone know if I find a solution though as this is really odd. Feel free to keep the suggestions coming, it's really bugging me.
