 Isn't there an lxde-shortcut creator or something. I remember seeing

 It creates .desktop files very easily with a GUI. 

Yes, it's lxshortcut :)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] WARNING: X-server breakage coming soon to a computer near you

2010-08-10 Thread Lane Lester 
Thanks, Bob. Regretfully, that didn't do it for me, but I'm not sure if my
problem was nvidia-related.

I let Synaptic do the update (90+ packages!), but it errored out with
problems updating python packages.

I rebooted normally, and it hung after starting cupsd. A repeat did the
same.

I rebooted with recovery console and renamed xorg.conf. When I tried to
remove nvidia-current, I got all these python errors which couldn't be
fixed. I didn't see a message that indicated the removal worked.

I tried to install nouveau, but got the message the most recent version was
already installed.

Rebooting hangs at the same place as after the update.

I'll try a console upgrade after there's a chance the video is all
compatible. Is apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade the right choice?

 Hi Lane,

 What I did, after a lot of messing around trying to get things to work, was
 this:

 - Log in to recovery console for root with networking

 - rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

 - apt-get remove nvidia-current

 - apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

 - reboot

[Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Call for testing: jobs-admin

2010-08-10 Thread Phillip Whiteside 
Hi,

As a fan of the Google summer of Code projects, are there any objections to
this being put in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp#Expert
users  ? It's still to have an entry :)

I think it would be an interesting one for Experts to have a look at, and
may even provide a tool for seeing what processes can be done away with
under lubuntu.

Regards,

Phill.
P.S., a note to any one deciding to try it by ppa
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers#ppa-purge  It's worth having on
your system for when 'bad' things happen to 'good' ppa's.

Hello all,

Google Summer of Code ends this week, which indirectly means that
jobs-admin is now ready for testing! Interested testers need only to
add a PPA and install a package to begin. Within a few days the
packages will be available in maverick universe.

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jpeddicord/jobs
   sudo apt-get install jobs-admin

jobs-admin may then be launched from the terminal, or can be found
under System  Administration  System Jobs. We've hidden most
jobs/services that are essential to your system, so ideally you
shouldn't be able to break anything even if you wanted to. With that
in mind, feel free to give it all a stress test. Shut off jobs you
don't want, and change the settings of others. By testing this you'll
also be testing jobservice, the daemon which powers it all.

Bugs can be reported on Launchpad:
   http://bugs.launchpad.net/jobsadmin

We're also open for translating:

* https://translations.launchpad.net/jobsadmin - for most UI elements
* https://translations.launchpad.net/jobservice - for job settings

Any and all feedback is welcome. We'll have a bugfix release in the
next few weeks. I won't be responding to reports or feedback until
August 16 (Monday), however.

For Maverick, you'll be able to install jobs-admin and have easy
access to your system's services. The PPA will be maintained so Lucid
users aren't left out. We're hoping to make this the de-facto utility
(and framework) for managing services and jobs, and hopefully you'll
see this in-place as the replacement for the missed services-admin in
11.04. I'll be working on getting these packages into Debian as well.

Thanks for your attention!

[Lubuntu-desktop] ubiquity crashes

2010-08-10 Thread Duy Hùng Trần 
Hello,
I have just found a Compad Evo N600c (256MB RAM and 40GB HDD) to test
Lubuntu :D . I installed Lucid on this notebook, I worked fine, but a little
bit slower than Windows XP :( .
I'm trying to install Alpha 3. Live CD session works ok, but when I start
installing ubiquity crashes at the welcome screen and tells me to report a
bug, when I click to report it says I miss some packages.
Is there any else way to test Maverick Alpha 3 on this Compad notebook :( ?
Thank you!
Regards
