There have been a couple of 'strange' language problems, involving
French  
 English, noticed by Phillw and myself, on Beta 2.  I would try it
with  
Ubuntu if you can, but I suspect it is the way the Lubuntu ISO is set
up.   
I have reported a bug where all the languages (139) are installed to
the  
hard drive. I think it is worth reporting anyway as anything that
messes  
up the install could mean one less user. 



Sorry for being quite on this. I spend last days trying to fix it for
the final release, but the way I generate the iso is quite limited. And
I don't want to spend too much time on it if we migrate to the Ubuntu
architecture for the next release.

If I don't find a solution, we need to chose one solution : keeping all
the languages on the CD (but installing them all) or don't ship them and
having a live-cd limited for language support.

OK, no worries. As I mentioned in responding to Steve, I'm going to make 
sure the hardware is OK, then retry the installation. I'll file bug 
report(s) and find a work around if I can  document it for others. I'm 
not particularly proficient in French or Italian, but it is a workable 
option for me to do a fully French or Italian installation. That might 
give us some useful comparison cases.


How much space are we talking about for installation of all 139 languages?

David

 Hi,

 as promised I've had a chat with a very nice man regarding Lubuntu and the
 main ubuntu support forum. I see that we have two options available:

 1) A Lubuntu 'tag' much the same as the xubuntu / kubuntu etc. tags work
 2) A separate sub-forum.

 #1 is the easier one to achieve as #2 has the problems of the mods then
 having to herd stuff from the general area onto the lubuntu area. 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.

 Phill.

+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.

Hi Goh,

thanks for your input. Actually I think in regards to marketing
lubuntu is quite successful. There are thousands of blog entries and
many people are talking about it.

There was not a release for the general public yet and we are still at
the beginning.

So, any support from your side is welcome!

Ciao Mario

 Perhaps 2 small technical points about this mailing list itself.

 Could something be done so that all replies are directed back to this
 mailing list rather than to the sender if the sender (inadvertently)
 sends as 'cc' rather than 'to' ? (as what's being done in the ubuntu
 and kubuntu mailing list)

 Also can this mailing list be 'ported' or 'mirrored' to the gmane
 newsgroup too?

 Lastly, but I think more importantly, the exposure and 'market recall',
 no.even just knowing about 'Lubuntu' is low.  Not many people have
 heard of it, even the ubuntu users themselves and that's a shame.

 I understand Lubuntu is not 'officially' part of ubuntu yet, (just a
 part of launchpad?) and that's perhaps the reason we cannot be too
 'overt' about this, but could you share with us the framework that
 needs to be done to achieve this? Who knows, some of us here, besides
 being good designers and techies are good in marketing and pr too? (but
 I hope not in office politics and corporate shenaniganism  :) )

 Thanks, regards - Goh Lip

Well, from my part, it was done on purpose. Not advertising too much
before having something good enough to test :)

It's another reason for not advertising too much. For the What is
needed, not much from our part. We need to wait the opening of the
development of the next release, to start pinging good persons. Don't
worry, it's very high in my TODO list :)

Awesome!  This will be most useful as I prepare legacy computers for

 I was told that if you were running several commands as sudo, adopting sudo
 -i was the correct way to do it. But, I will remove the sudo -i and put the
 sudo in front of each command.
