Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Here is a quick report on the current cut on an older laptop. HP Omnibook 910 PIII 500 MHz 320 MB Memory with 3Com 3CCFEM556B 10/100 PC Card and SMC 2835W wireless card Lubuntu seems to boot fine, a little slow, but it looks nice on the old LCD. Eraser head style mouse seems to work fine. However, I could not seem to find a way to configure the wireless card. That is when I checked, and the distro is not detecting either of the two PC cards in the system. So no report on browser speed. The system did not automatically mount a flash drive. I was able to mount manually. Sound does work; I was able to play an ogg file via mplayer off of the flash drive. Hope this helps.

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.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Feedback new testing ISO 20100215
Hi, this version looks very promising. Nm-applet is working fine. The LXDesign Theme is really a very cool clearlooks theme. Very good work ! Chromium is running its first run wizard if clicked. Perhaps we should ship a preconfigured version with bookmarks and set it as default browser (its telling me that it isn't yet). Hmm... acpi=off in the livecd boot parameters ? I guess a temporary fix due to hal removal isn't it ? The next thing I noticed. There is currently no visible gnome-power-manager icon in the systray of the panel (as it is started automatically but I don't see any icon but can click on it I guess it is a panel problem). Next thing gpicview should it be in the panel menu under graphics ? (somehow the graphics submenu seems strange containing only 1 app) My XFMultimedia Keys for Volume up/down mute is not working (eeePC 701). xfce4-volumed should fix this or setting the keys in the openbox config and creating a script that does volume up/down and mute (if you don't want to have the fency notify-osd) The last thing that we might include (only a suggestion) is a tweaked /etc/sysctl.conf for Netbooks: # Delay real write to disk vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500 is crucial for this. Making the system visually faster. Here a suggestion (also for all testers) set the panel size to 24 and the icon size to 22. This way the panel here (on eeePC 701) looks much better. Overall well made promising future with pcmanfm2 I hope ;) ___ 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] New testing ISO 20100215
Hi! It's great! Nice artwork! Respect for including such applications as "hardware drivers", "printing", "languages" by default. It now looks very user-friendly. However, there are some minor problems: 1) a lot of errors when changing screensavers. It can be solved by creating directory /usr/share/backgrounds by default. 2) as was discussed earlier when clicking "Desktop Session Settings" the tab "Desktop" should be opened, not "Interface". 3) why have you choosen "xfburn" to include? I think that the most popular area for installing LXDE (and of course Lubuntu) are netbooks and they just don't have any CD/DVD-ROMs... In my opinion, it is unnecessary. I have tested on my netbook HP 1233 - everything is working perfectly, and using by default 110 Mb out of 1Gb is impressive (with Ubuntu 9.10 mini.iso + LXDE it uses after startup nearly 155 Mb). However, if there is xsplash I haven't seen it, may be because of my videocard (Via Chrome9), I don't know. I have also tried to run livecd on my notebook Asus M51TR. However, all that I have seen was Lubuntu logo for approximately 1 minute after what there came a kernel panic. I'll try to find solution but exactly now I don't know why it is happening so. In conclusion, I would like to say that it looks perfect and amazing. Thank you!

[Lubuntu-desktop] artwork
Jo Franz, we cannot put "orbs" in the panel. Bitmaps must be aligned and have same equal size than the panel. It's a code limitation, believe me, I've tried every combination. Enter the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork/Incoming/Lucid/LxDesign) and choose the app menu (I don't like the name "start menu") if it fits better. There're darker coloured panels there, but remaining LxDesign style (the new default theme) and a lot of stuff for your choice. I'm glad you like (in general) my work. Of course, I know I can't delight everybody, but here it is. :-) <><>___ 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

One more thing... The connected ICON for Network Manager is two arrows, one up the other down, which persdonally to me does not indicate a network connection. Can we change this back to the default one of two computers? it doesn't even look like a network manager this way, or at least even the ubuntu one where it looks like two sockets plugged in...
