Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 - Testing
Hi Julien and everyone, So sorry for the late reply. No, but it seems that ubiquity is not so strict about the space available. But it's still a bug, see : http://pad.lv/819538 Hmmm, don't know yet how the installer do that but as long as it worked, it's ok, I won't nag about it :) Ah, probably because you have a webcam, and my system doesn't. Yes, it happened that my Cam was connected to my PC. However, my point was and still is: there is no point of that step anyway because the purpose of taking a picture is to use it later after the user finishes the installation and that never happened. I mean, after I'm done with installation, I can't see the picture I took anywhere so what's the point of that? Do you think it might work with Ubuntu because it uses GDM while Lubuntu uses LXDM? No, a package available in official repository, but not installed by default. That's really great. So, will you guys remove the extra themes and stuff? or everything will remain the same? If it's still possible to do that at the moment, I would vote to remove the extra themes and give the user all the ability to install it after that from the repo. Just my opinion :) Probably this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel/+bug/818869 Preciously. Indeed lxpanel - 0.5.8-1ubuntu3 is working correctly. Thanks! Just run ubuntu-bug network-manager-applet *ubuntu-bug network-manager-applet* In LXTerminal it gives a pop up error msg Package network-manager-applet does not exist. Please advice! When I tried to report that, nothing happened. Seemed to me the Report can't be sent. Please advice! Shall I include a screenshot next time? There you go :) http://i51.tinypic.com/14nhdm8.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/2ekq544.jpg This is what I get when I report the problem with File Manager. http://i54.tinypic.com/2r44qpt.jpg This is what I get when I report LSC.

If you want affect less, you need to resize the partition, or split the partition. On the partition screen, there is two devices: - /dev/sda - /dev/zram0 I have never seen that before so what is /dev/zram0 ??? I also had this recently, but it seems to be gone with the last ISO.

I don't remember I have seen that before. It happened on that PC not on my other PC. The message is a link when you click it, it's gone. I have no idea what is that? It's because a new version of ubiquity is available. If you use a recent daily build, it should not appear. 1- XChat is not installed by default, unlike Lubuntu 11.04.

Thus, this test was done on less than 256MB RAM :D Also, please note that my CD Drive is making terrible sounds (loud) but it works until now. * * * * * * *A- Test From LiveCD* *Installation Notes:* 1- Try Lubuntu without Installation CLI startx LXDE Desktop - Same what happened in Test No.1 Reboot done ... 2- Install Ubuntu Quit Quit Lubuntu Desktop ***3- Installation Something else I'm installing on a wiped HDD with 18.6GB un-allocated space no matter what custom size I choose for root (/) partition, the install allocate the whole space to that partition (sda1) and I can't do anything about it. Definitely a bug but I'm not sure whether I can re-produce it or not? - I choose 4GB but it gave the whole space to sda1 - I choose 10GB but it gave the whole space to sda1 - I even tried to adjust the size after that but it did not allow me to change it On the partition screen, there is two devices: - /dev/sda - /dev/zram0 I have never seen that before so what is /dev/zram0 ??? 4- Erase Disk and Install was the only way to install Lubuntu on that machine. *B- Test From LiveUSB Creating using UNetbootin* * * *Installation Notes:* 1- Try Lubuntu without installation ... WORKED :) I have repeated that on my other PC and it worked too. That is telling me when booting from LiveUSB, Try Lubuntu without installation will work but when booting from LiveCD, it does not. Weird. 2- First Step in the installation (Choosing the Language) *You may wish to update this installer* Click on it Message disappeared. I don't remember I have seen that before. It happened on that PC not on my other PC. The message is a link when you click it, it's gone. I have no idea what is that? 3- Installation Something else When creating new partition, it did not give me the previous error and I can create partitions as I want and give the size I want. I gave sda1 3.5GB only + 512MB for SWAP. /dev/zram0 was there too. However, something weird happened which did not happen when I was installing from LiveCD (*A- Test From LiveCD*). I think the installer needed 30mins or more just to move to the next step. After creating the partitions, I tried to go to the next screen but it got stuck. I went to have my lunch and when I came back, it moved to the next step. That never happened with me before as far as I can remember. 4- Installation took longer but it's done. * Above are the installation notes. * * *Now, some other notes after installation on this PC and the other one as well.* 1- XChat is not installed by default, unlike Lubuntu 11.04. 2- I managed to re-produce the same issue with the Menu on both PCs when it got stuck or frozen (Screenshot will be included). 3- I installed LSC on PC2 where I did Test No.2 and I can see the Search Box is active and the interface of LSC is a bit different now. However, I got many Crash Report and Screenshots will be included. 4- PCManFM keeps Crashing even on both PCs. Crash Report could NOT be sent again. Screenshots will be included. 5- The previous described issue about Enable Networking and Enable Wireless is the same on both PCs. I also noticed that if I tick/check both, reboot, everything back to the previous point which means both options are un-checked or un-ticked. 6- Today I noticed that every time I reboot my machine and login to Lubuntu, I got Authentication required by Wireless Network pop-up message and I have to enter the password for my Wireless Router. I think it's happening from time to time because on the 2nd PC, I didn't get that message today but I'm sure I got it yesterday. 7- The 2nd PC with less than 256MB is working ok with Lubuntu and as per the Screenshot (will be included), when the PC is idle, 60MB of the RAM is being used. However, I had hard time during the installation. Lubuntu does work with less than 256MB but I guess it needs more during the installation or else, the installation will be so slow. Note that I don't install

How can I provide more info about it? Shall I check this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper and report back here? 3- I chose Something Else and created a new Partition (sda9) with *3.91GB* from un-allocated disk space.

I did not get it on my 2nd and 3rd test on the other PC (I'll send an email about it later today hopefully). 6- Yes, sometime it doesn't work, but it's safe to just reboot by hand. I figured that out. Thanks a lot :) 7- Thanks, we have great artists around here ;-) Indeed he's great. It would be great too if more wallpapers can be added? say total 12 instead of 6 maybe? 8- That would be nice to have a test case, when it's always reproducible. I can't currently reproduce it. This is weird. I had it like 3-4 times yesterday and it happened when I was writing my first email about my test. I can't reproduce it as of now but I'll keep trying. I'll also check if the same can happen on my 2nd PC. As I previously mentioned, I'm testing Lubuntu 11.10 beta 2 on two test PCs :) Ok, the 2nd PC is actually next to me so I just tried to reproduce the same thing but nothing has changed. I'll try to provide an update later. I'll focus on what was opened at that time and what is the item I wanted to select from the menu. I think that would be better :) 9- Seems a bug yes, but only a display bug. Is the network working for you ? Yes, on this PC, my Wireless Connection is working and my Wired Connection too. I'm connected to the internet via Range Extender through Wireless Network. I did a simple testing while I'm writing this reply: - Right Click on the Connections Icon showed this screen: http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8204 - Ticked *Enable Networking* and Ticked *Enable Wireless*. http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8212 - I un-checked/un-ticked *Enable Networking* and Ticked *Enable Wireless*. My Networks got disconnected. I Ticked *Enable Networking* and Ticked *Enable Wireless* yet again and connections back to work. So I think you are right. It's a display bug but it's confusing. Shall I log a bug report? 10 - Thanks, bug reported : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxappearance-obconf/+bug/860105 You most welcome :) It seems that you have the same issue. I just read the bug and I noticed it's amd64 not i386. Shall I add my notes on the same bug report? 11- a) It's not installed on Ubuntu also, and I'm not sure it's working nicely with lxdm. I always install it after I'm done with installation whether it's Ubuntu or Lubuntu. Yes, it's not included in Ubuntu as well. It would be nice to have it. I noticed it doesn't work unless you login to the desktop. From my understanding, it should work right after booting because the same option is Enabled in BIOS. However, in my case, it always work right after I login to the desktop after I type my login password. A for lxdm and gdm, never had an issue with both. b) dnsmasq-base, which contains the dnsmasq program is installed by default, its should be sufficient in this case. I just checked and indeed it's there. Thanks :) c) This one is for advanced usages, an average user should not have to touch the partitions after the installation. Ubuntu do the same thing. You can still install it after the installation. Yes, I'm aware of that but as long as you can install it after you are done with installation, anyone else can do that too :) With Ubuntu 9.10, it was installed by default but starting from 10.04, they

Le 27/09/2011 10:25, Ali Linx a écrit : 3- I chose Something Else and created a new Partition (sda9) with *_3.91GB_* from un-allocated disk space. Please note that I'm Multi-Booting several Distros on this test PC. GRUB was installed into sda9 not MBR (sda). Installation was smooth and errors-free. Apparently, Lubuntu 11.10 can be installed on less than 4GB HDD. I think I have read it somewhere that there is an error or bug because the installer require more than 4GB. Am I right? just thought to highlight this because this is important for those who wants to install Lubuntu on 4GB USB Drive. Yes, it's a bug : http://pad.lv/819538 If it's not fixed for the final release, you will have to use the alternate ISO if you have less than 4.0 Gb. 4- It's currently not supported. How do you find to this screen using the installer ? If it's not supported, will this feature be included with the final release of Lubuntu 11.10? Sorry, what do you mean by How do you find to this screen using the installer??? Sorry, I mean, where do you find that screen ? In which step of the installation did it appear ? 5- It should not happen if you don't do anything like plug in a new media. Is it reproducible ? Are you using a USB stick or a live CD ? I was installing from LiveCD. No, I haven't inserted anything. I was so surprised because that was my first time I see such message or pop-up window during the installation. Reproducible? shall I re-install Lubuntu 11.10? I got it during the installation process which has already begun and I'm not quite sure whether I'll get it or not. I did not get it on my 2nd and 3rd test on the other PC (I'll send an email about it later today hopefully). Hum, I done many installations, but never having this problem :-/ I'll try to do some testing next time I install Lubuntu to see if I can reproduce it. 7- Thanks, we have great artists around here ;-) Indeed he's great. It would be great too if more wallpapers can be added? say total 12 instead of 6 maybe? We plan to add more artwork, but not by default. It should be a package available which have more artwork for Lubuntu. 9- Seems a bug yes, but only a display bug. Is the network working for you ?

I did that already but it didn't work, didn't send anything. Yes, I was connected to the internet.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 - Testing
Hi everyone, This is my first email to the list and this is my first test ever so please, be patient :) I have two Test Desktop PCs, each with P4 @3.0GHz but one with 2GB RAM and the other with 512MB RAM (with the ability to share its RAM). --- *Test No.1* --- PC: P4 3.0GHz - 2GB RAM - 40GB IDE HDD - Intel Graphics Card *(driver=i915) * Media: Lubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 LiveCD - 32 bit --- Notes: 1- Try Lubuntu without installation does not work and drop you to CLI. Typing *starx* command will take you to LXDE Desktop with LXDE wallpaper instead of Lubuntu Desktop. There is an icon on the LXDE Desktop to Install Lubuntu. Reboot done ... 2- Install Lubuntu Option Quit Quit Lubuntu Desktop. Please note that I used to do the same with Lubuntu 11.04. 3- I chose Something Else and created a new Partition (sda9) with *3.91GB*from un-allocated disk space. Please note that I'm Multi-Booting several Distros on this test PC. GRUB was installed into sda9 not MBR (sda). Installation was smooth and errors-free. After Installationhttp://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8206 4- Choose a Picture during the installation process simple does nothing. Even when I took a picture, it didn't show it on the preview small box. http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8210 Apparently, it's a new feature but I'm not sure how does it work? 5- Removable Medium is inserted pop-up window during installation. Not sure if that's a bug or something?! http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8211 6- Continue Testing OR Reboot Reboot Please remove installation media and press Enter - Not Responding when Press Enter Force Reboot - Ctrl+Alt+Del Press Enter to reboot msg Reboot Done. Not sure if that's an error or something but I recall I got the same with other LiveCD and other Distros, mainly Ubuntu-Based. Installation done ... rebooted. 7- Wallpapers are really nice and getting better. Good job :) 8- Sometimes, the menu doesn't disappear even after making a selection: http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8205 Clicking on the desktop does nothing. I had to go to menu and click there twice and then it disappeared. 9- Looks like Enable Networking and Enable Wireless does nothing: http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8204 It's not 'ticked' or 'selected'. Looks like a bug? 10- Customize Look and Feel Window Border No Preview http://ubuntuforums.org/picture.php?albumid=2432pictureid=8207 11- Some apps are not installed. I suggest to include these apps. IMHO, I see it's good to have these: a- *numlockx* b- *dnsmasq *(http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=6t=31326) c- *GParted* d- *Flash Player* 12- LSC installed: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lubuntu-software-center I'm finding it a bit hard to deal with. For example, you need to Double Click on a Category and it takes sometime until the contents show up. Search Box is disabled until you choose a Category and that means if you don't know in which Category the application or program you want is included then you need to select All. I was looking for Firefox to install but couldn't easily find it because I got many selections. Not to mention I got some Crash Error and it was asking to report this problem. 13- Crash Report sometimes with Chromium and PCManFM. 14- I see too many themes, widget, etc are installed by default. I suggest (IMHO) to remove the extra themes and give users the choice to install these after installing Lubuntu 11.10 in case they want to. Perhaps PPA for all these extra themes? won't that reduce some size? perhaps I'm wrong and it's just a suggestion. --- Ok, that's all for now. I'm also done with two other tests on the other PC, one from LiveCD and the other from LiveUSB. Got some stuff to share with you but guess that will be later because I must go now.
