[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Screencasts
Hi, what about small short screencast tutorials about lubuntu ? e.g. -Showing the installation process -Basic Desktop -Basic Filemanagement -... What do you think about this idea ? Maybe (if we have enough space left) we can also pack some of this videos directly onto the livecd ? ___ 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 Screencasts
maybe a promt that automatically launches after loading live session, saying that this is a live session :), what are the consequences of that (efficiency worse than on regular install, loss of settings each boot, etc - but being able to look around the system without any changes on computer) and that the tutorial and installation process may be launched by clicking the specific icon placed on desktop? 2010/3/1 Steve yorvik.ubu...@googlemail.com: On Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:44:15 -, Leszek Lesner leszek.les...@web.de wrote: Hi, what about small short screen-cast tutorials about lubuntu ? e.g. -Showing the installation process -Basic Desktop -Basic File management -...

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 Shiny
For information, there is a torrent available for Alpha 3 : http://lubuntu.net/blog/lubuntu-lucid-alpha-release-torrent-download Le vendredi 26 février 2010 à 01:25 +0100, Julien Lavergne a écrit : Hi, The Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 is now available. Don't forget that it's build with Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) which is still in Alpha state of development, so same warnings : Pre-releases of Lucid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs. We passed Feature Freeze, that mean most of the features should now be available. It's now time for testing and fixing bugs. New features since Alpha 2 : * Main changes in the seed : - chromium for the browser - gnome-mplayer for the videos - network-manager for the network * pcmanfm2, the rewrite of the file-manager, is now used by default. * New artwork made by Rafael Laguna. * A new session (Lubuntu-Netbook), which launched lxlauncher. You need to logout, select Lubuntu-Netbook session instead of Lubuntu, and enter login ubuntu without password. Known bugs: * If you test on a USB, the first screen will freeze for a moment when you click on Try Lubuntu Just wait, it will continue as normal. * Bug reported during testing : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam * Specific pages for pcmanfm2 bugs : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam/pcmanfm2Testing If you want to create a bootable usb system, please use the usb creator directly on Ubuntu. Please follow the testing process described on this page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam . You can also report problems and bugs relative to the tests on this page.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Screencasts
Good idea. It could also be host in lubuntu.net (if we have the space) and adding a bookmark in the browser to link to them.

[Lubuntu-desktop] apologies
Hi, a thousand apologies, got some family matters, so have lost the plot a bit as to where everything is up to. So, if I say where I am up to could some one tell me what would be of the most help. 1) Currently on my desktop is the alpha3 iso. (yes, I HAVE deleted the alpha2) 2) I currently use a 2GB memory stick and run with persistance. 3) I also have a 512MB memory stick that is sat doing very little, if that would be of any use in testing lower specification installation / test on. 3) I have now set up a partition now set up (10 GB) for an installation, either via USB install, or I have a CD-RW's that my laptop is quite happy with as 'Boot' media. My laptop is a single core Intel Celeron M 440 (1 GB RAM) As I already have 9.10 and 'main' 10.04 Ubuntu, an installation will, unless I am told otherwise how to do it see my 1GB /swap area I'm still very new to testing, so would need, for example .. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lernid-devs/lernid-releases sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lernid Or something similar to add reposotories / updates I note that lubuntu stuff is hitting the main lucid updates, but last time I tried it the system wanted to give me ALL the lucid updates, there was a comment of using --safe, I will have about 11:00 -- 16:00 GMT (UCT) available to test things out on. I do have access to a Win XP laptop, but it is only XP Home, so I am not sure what help that may be for testing things like samba Sorry to sound like the n00b that I am, list of instructions - what you want testing and I'll get it done !!!

[Lubuntu-desktop] Some things I've found
Here's some observations I haven't seen addressed, The quick search entry field in Synaptic is always greyed out. I find it very useful, don't see any reason why we would be intentionally greying it out. My wifi is password protected, every time I log on, I have to enter the password, which is no big deal, but do I just have to install some keyring program? The obvious ones are already installed, so it's not clear what I should do. I understand that pacman2 is still under heavy development, but what's involved to access an encrypted SD card or flash drive? For the FAQ/intro videos that have been mentioned today, a discussion of some of the program alternatives, kind of a cookbook type entry, similar to what they have for customizing an Acer Aspire One ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne ), Thanks so much for all the great work, I hope for Lubuntu to be my primary system Jeff ___ 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] [Lxde-list] menu://application empty on autostarted
echo $XDG_MENU_PREFIX? It should be lxde- under your LXDE session. Otherwise, that's the cause of the bug. On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 7:44 AM, Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com wrote: Hi, I continued my testing with pcmanfm2/libfm. I keep having a very odd bug on the menu://application, which appear empty when pcmanfm is autostarted by lxsession. After some investigating with PCMan, it appears that it's the .cache/menus/ file which is almost empty. This is a summary of my tests : - When libfm-demo or pcmanfm are autostarted, there is 2 menu-cache files (in .cache/menus/), 1 normal and 1 almost empty. In fact, there is only the files which are monitored (like F/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu). There is no directory (D) listed in the file. The menu://application is empty. - When I autostart lxpanel, and start pcmanfm later, it not generate another menu cache file, but seems to use the one already generated by lxpanel. The menu://application works. - When I autostart only pcmanfm (not lxpanel), it generate the empty menu cache. Even if I launch lxpanel after, menu://applications is always empty. - Changing the order of autostarted applications didn't help.

[Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit
Hello *, Lubuntu is a very impressive distro. It's lean, fast, with no nonsens-software but all you need and some things are much better then in other distros. So it's not so bloated as the most big distros. So I can imagine, that not only the targeted low-end-system-groups but also the groups with nowadys systems would like Lubuntu. I don't know anything about packaging, so please could anyone say something about the possibility of making a 64-bit-edition too?
