Re: [lubuntu-users] Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS has been released! (Installing now on Acer Aspire 1 ZG5)

Yeah those netbooks are a bit of a challenge to upgrade

I have tried it, but they are also a bit picky, i tried 3 RAM modules 
the i have laying around, only one got exepted and that one slowed the 
performance down.


Lucky that most screws are the same type...Only need to remember where 
the longer ones go.


Also a shame that the SSD's are fitted with those flex stips, very hard 
to find those on the cheap. (more expensive then the value of the whole 
machine) But those mini USB sticks might eventually be usable??


would be cool if there is a hack to fit something else on that 
flexcable, Or maybe do a net-boot thinclient terminal thing? But that's 
for someone else to play with...


But Lubuntu runs quiet nice on 512 MB if you don't let it multistask.

This will make a nice toy wit a bunch of simple games, Mayong, Tetris, 
Mines, etc.
Great as Lubuntu marketing tool. Just install a few things and place it 
somewhere where people have a coffee break.


They all will say: WOW, this is WAY more user friendly then W10!!

:-D So guys, thanks for making this possible!

don't let those netbooks collect dust, bring Lubuntu to the people, You 
might want to put it on a chain, Lubuntu on a netbook looks and feels 
like something brand new and expensive. Not everyone may be able to let 
it live in the wild.


PS to fix a Acer battery that refuses to charge, bend the battery 
charger pins a tiny bit. (less then a millimeter is enough) I may just 
give enough emergency power in case of a power outage.  You then have a 
terminal with UPS, on the very cheap and with a very powerful OS.

Wow, that _is_ small!

When I put Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a very resource-constrained Acer
Aspire 1, I added an old, used 1GB DIMM -- that cost £5 -- and I later
fitted an SD card in its permanent slot and put /home on there. This
gave it /considerably/ more room to breathe for very little cost. The
only problem is that removing the motherboard to fit the SO-DIMM is
extremely fiddly and took 45min of work.

Hi again,

You can try to boot with a Plop floppy and chainload to a USB boot 
drive. Remember to use the boot option forcepae for the Pentium M to 
work with the pae kernel of Lubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.

Runs like a dream already!

using about 117MB of RAM so thats plenty of spare brains.
and all the config preferences dialogs even fit on the screen! in 12.04
the OK / cancel buttons often fell out of sight.

GREAT STUFF!!!

Ideal foldable PC to play with.  New to Lubuntu?  Get yourself an Aspire
1 ZG5.

I also have a Pentuim M bases box that doens't boot from USB, has a
defective CD/DVD, so that also is no option, Not sure if the floppy
still boots...

This could be a challenge to buntify?


Woops, just discovered the first bug.   after sleeping the cursor is
'hidden behind the desktop'

Alt+F1, Alt+F7 brings it back though.  It's a shame that this bug isn't
fixed yet...











Hi Uncle Scrooge :-)

I agree. For example at

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours

the link should point to the correct Lubuntu web page. We have asked
Ubuntu (Canonical) to change it, but it has not happened yet. It is
very difficult to get links outside our control to be changed, but let
us keep trying.

I'm happy to read that Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS works well for you.

Best regards
Nio

At lubuntu.me there should be a third link for powerpc downloads too.
It's very difficult to promote GNU/Linux for this architecture (and
tests) if it's "hidden".

Oh good, lubuntu.me seems better because lubuntu.net contains 3 spyware

Re: [lubuntu-users] Lubuntu Yakkety Yak Alpha 2 Call for Testing

It has no sense that Lubuntu-aternate ISO (and maybe desktop too)
exceeds 700MB.

Debian-Live-LXDE exceeds the normal CD size too.

Actually freenode is not against tor but has some caveats and you need to be a 
registered user. Not sure if this works on the webchat however. 

http://freenode-dev.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor

They are more against other open proxies that end up hiding people say doing 
denial of service attacks agianst freenode. They made a special expemtion for 
tor even but not sure you can create an account. 
http://freenode-dev.net/policy.shtml#proxies

This does not seem the kind of policy set by people that want to take your 
freedom away. I think this is just a first reaction to trying to join freenode 
and finding out you can't initally connect using tor.
