I will be their to discuss Ubuntu and Lubuntu development. For now, I only want to registered a blueprint for discussion : https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/appselection-lubuntu-n-lubuntu-seed-update If you want to add your comment on it, feel free to add a comment on this mailing list. Also, if you think we should discuss other topics, let us know :) And if you are at the UDS, ping me so we can also drink a good beer ! :) Work items: Discuss Backup solution (http://davestechshop.net/blog/dave/list-of-free-open-source-linux-and-ubuntu-backup-software) Backups? :P Plenty to go at. A simple point-and-click solution is the obvious way to go. Discuss CD/DVD Burn choice : Xfburn (xfce depends + hal) or Brasero (gnome depends but no hal) or something else ? Any thing HAL free as there seems to be no point in having HAL for just one program, could even be built into PcManFM Discuss notifications program (XFCE or keep classic notification) Hmmm. Discuss indicators support on by default + indicators installed by default (need integration on LXDE) Would be usefulif they could be integrated into LXDE. Discuss LightDM integration instead of LXDM Hmmm. Discuss keymap switcher : lxkeymap, lxkeyboardconf (lxadmin), support in lxinput ? Not a problem that effects me so best left to those that need it. Discuss control-center : lubuntu-control-center ? Centralised Control Centre and removal of the various bits from the menus would be great. Discuss utility to modify and save screen settings (using https://edge.launchpad.net/x-kit ?) Been looking at this, looks like a very good idea if it can be implemented. Discuss search utility (catfish ?) Never really made up my mind about this sort of thing as I tend to use find and locate form the CLI, but, can see why some would like it. Discuss a way to modify the main menu (port alacarte ?) Not some thing I’ve really done is edit the menus so no real interest. I would like to see some discussion of the minimum, REALISTIC hardware requirements. Also a RSS reader might be nice, Liferea maybe. WBar, the launcher/dock thingy is rather nice and gives a modern feel to the desktop and may be worth considering. And finally we’ll have to have a discussion/flamewar :) about a music player:D -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ 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] Update apps for 10.04
You can't install LxTask, it was not added to the repos (I think) of Lucid (10.04) so you could try next version, you don't have nothing to lose! :D -- attachment: b3.pngattachment: b2.pngattachment: b1.pngattachment: face-smile-big.png___ 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 10.10 and PCmanFM on default install
So what I'm mailing about is that what if gvfs-backends is a default part of the .iso -image of Lubuntu 10.10? Maybe we could see it in next stable release? I've seen lots of users who can't google as much as I can (and I'm not even that good in it ;) and there fore they're a little lost why they can't see their pr0n shares on their Windows XP. I'm totally agree with you It's not a big packet and it's needed if people wants to use the LiveCD with full features. Lubuntu must be fast and complete!! And I would like to wish to everyone on the list a very nice autumn/spring ;) Same for you Benny :) -- jpxsat Ubuntu user #29.157 (Lubuntu 10.04) Linux user #522.597 ___ 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

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu on Intel and i586
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 I've just found out that with 10.10, standard Ubuntu has dropped support for i586 and lower processors. Does this affect the 10.10 Lubuntu?

Ben We had today that kind of problem on #lubuntu channel. Here's the problem line: Thu16:05 xx I have an older Compaq 500 Mhz 512MB RAM 80GB HDD. I've installed Xubuntu but it seems to be using up too many resources. Someone suggested I try Lubuntu. When I burned a CD and tried though, it says I lack 'cmov' and to try another kernel. Any suggestions? And we discussed with phillw about this issue and we were sure it was becouse of 10.10 is i686 and his CPU is i585. You can try with USB stick if 10.10 works, but I doubt. ___ 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

You can try with USB stick if 10.10 works, but I doubt. That's rather disappointing, as these are the kind of machines that Lubuntu would continue to make useful. The alternative would be to have a separate repository for Lubuntu, compiled for i586 (or i486), which would kind of muddy the goal of having Lubuntu be an officially recognized part of Ubuntu. Sigh. Wonder if anyone's doing anything with LXDE on Slackware? Ben Wonder no more, http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download You can try out Salix, it's based on Slackware and kinda a fork from Zenwalk. My wife is running Salix OS and I haven't heard any complaining about it. But it lacks with packages if you compare to Lubuntu. Hope we can see you using Lubuntu still in the future, becouse the grass ain't greener on the other side of the fence ;) ___ 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
