Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] main ubuntu forum
+1 for the tag. If there are tags for kubuntu and xubuntu, people will look for a lubuntu tag. If were a complete subsection, they maybe won't find us.

If you feel that #1 is un-satisfactory you may ask the Forum Council to discuss it at the next meeting but I do not think we have a separate xubuntu or kubuntu section, so good luck with that =) was the reply. I hope I have not exceeded what I said I would do in 'asking around' but, for the lubuntu tag I got I will ask the rest of the staff re: lubuntu tag, should be easy (I hope) Personally, I'd prefer the lubuntu tag rather than us being hidden away in some dark corner of the forum, it will encourage people to read about lubuntu hopefully try it out. As always, your views on the two options are needed.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] When will we have Lubuntu 10.04 beta 2?
i think because we are not in the ubuntu-family yet we dont have to bring a beta2 when ubuntu releases one. We should take the time, include some more programs (such as games) and release it when its ready. Even if the first lubuntu is not an official *buntu, it should be a great, well tested distro. In my opinion, we dont have to follow the canonical timetable that strict. Best regards, Jo. 2010/4/11 PCMan pcman...@gmail.com Ubuntu beta 2 just came out. So when will we have Lubuntu 10.04 beta 2? Before releasing beta 2, please get the hotest pcmanfm2 and libfm from git since there are some important fixes. It's a pity that Lubuntu didn't enter Ubuntu family this time, but we'll be ready at the time of 10.10. At that time, our google summer of code projects should be finished so things are going to be improved. In addition, as upower and udisks now have stable releases, it's time to support them and provide better user experience. In the past we always rushed to make new releases for LXDE components to test new features. Now as the projects grows and more and more people are using it, we need to meet the quality requirement of being a major desktop environment. So a delay to release new components is sometimes better than to release a buggy one. Let wait and see what will happen at the time of 10.10. I bet it will be the best Lubuntu release ever.

another quick test: the alpha runs great, fast and quite stable.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Ok, i built up an old System with Pentium (i don't know if II or IV, 360 MHz) and 128 MBytes of RAM. It Takes very Long to boot and it First seems like the pc wouldnt respond any more, but about 10 minutes with Black screen you can see the panel and the Cursor- no Desktop and no icons there. I didnt realize the arrow-Symbol to be the One for network, maybe we should use another one. The System itself is extremely slow, but thats the hardware (im just used to my 4gb RAM:-)) maybe we could use something else for the graphics , like kolourpaint or so. The People we aim at are used to ms paint, and what we offer them in lubuntu is too complicated. Ill go on in testing and ill write again later.
