Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDE + OOo Impress + Ubuntu / Lubuntu-- squeezed subscripts
Am 22.10.2010 21:49, schrieb Mårten Behm: Just joined Lubuntu on Launchpad in my search for a forum for this problem. I was recommended to try this at the lxde forum. I have been using Eeebuntu 3.0 LXDE beta on my EeePC 900. It's been working great, except for this one thing. I use it at work for presentations with OOo Impress, but in slide show mode subscript letters get squeezed together and look terrible. This makes it quite useless with science-related stuff. I think a screenshot would be quite interesting to get to understand your problem better. So I changed to Lubuntu 10.04, but the problem remained. The issue doesn't seem hardware specific as it was reproduced on an old Dell Optiplex GX60. I should also say that OOo Writer works OK in this respect. I decided that the problem might be Ubuntu or Debian specific so I installed the Fedora 13 LXDE respin. And the problem is gone! Today I thought I might try Lubuntu 10.10. Same problem! So I suppose I can use Fedora, and that's it. However, I would like to stay with Ubuntu because I use it on my other computers and would like to avoid having to learn another distribution from scratch. Any ideas?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] A small suggestion: Gparted
Hi, list. +1 for adding Gparted to the LiveCD. Without it, LiveCD is pretty useless when you need to rearrange your disk prior to installing. BTW, on a minimal box with just 128 Mb RAM gparted failed to start off SystemRescueCD 1.6.1, maybe Lubuntu can perform better on such boxes. Regards! Mikhail On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 2:43 AM, Liam Proven lpro...@gmail.com wrote: I have come back to looking at Lubuntu recently after a while away. I put 10.04 LTS on a client's old workstation (P4, 256MB RAM, 40G hard disk) and today 10.10 on my own laptop (PIII-750, 320MB, 20GB HD). Both times, I've had the same problem, but it was more severe with 10.10. I wanted to dual-boot the machines - the P4 with XP and the P3 notebook with Crunchbang. This means repartitioning, which means I need Gparted (or something like it). On 10.04, I was able to open a terminal, apt-get install gparted, then run it, repartition, and install. On 10.10, though, once I had installed Gparted, it filled up the system's RAMdisk and crashed the desktop. No panel, no window manager, nothing, just the desktop and Ubiquity icon. I rebooted and tried again. This time I could run Gparted and make a new root filesystem, but then I couldn't run Ubiquity. No error was produced. I looked at the properties of the icon to see the command but it does not show this rather critical info. I opened a terminal, took a guess and changed to /home/lubuntu/Desktop and examined the file with less. This gave me the basic command to run. Not knowing what the switches and parameters mean, I just tried ubiquity. It failed, segfaulted, with an error that there was no space on root. I rebooted, ran it again from the desktop, and then was able to install. I rebooted again, manually tweaked my /etc/default/grub file for the kernel parms I need (the machine will not boot without acpi=force and the screen looks very poor without vga=791, which also gets the graphical boot screen working, which does not happen otherwise - I get a text one that says Ubuntu not Lubuntu). Update-manager ran and I accepted the default offerings. Installation failed over a clashing library. I had to run apt-get install -f ... then apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade -y ... to resolve this. So finally I have a working system, but install was a bit fraught! The simplest improvement would be to bundle Gparted on the live CD. There's plenty of room - 150MB spare on the disk and Gparted + dependencies is under a tenth of that, I think - and that's uncompressed. The other issues, well, I have no direct suggestions, I was merely reporting them. It is a little bigger and slower than Crunchbang but then Crunchbang is only Ubuntu 9.04. OTOH, Lubuntu has a full and rather attractive desktop, whereas #! is deliberately super-minimal. -- Liam Proven • Info profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 ___ 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 ___ 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] minimal install.
Cheers, As you know I'm severely hampered by the fact that only a basic 9.10 ubuntu can 'see' my 3G device, as the pub is moving company I cannot yet order my broadband connection. It's very frustrating, but life goes on. If you can scribble up a set of notes similar to what I put over at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall I'll tidy them all up and get it all posted and documented.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] cmov
If it's limited to the LXDE packages + Lubuntu specific packages, backporting them to 10.04 shouldn't be a big work, since I already planned to backport up-to-date LXDE packages.

Hello, My name is Shawn B. [1][2], and I have been contributing in the Ubuntu community for 1 week with the Ubuntu Beginners Team. I am interested in joining the Ubuntu Beginners Team and Lubuntu Team. Some example of how I've helped the team are by assisting other's in the IRC Chats - helping find information that may help resolve the issues they've been experiencing. Also I have a program in the works to help obtain necessary information that would be useful in troubleshooting hardware specific issues. Additionally, I would like to learn how to build packages, create isos, and assist with backports to help the Lubuntu team in their efforts. Thanks, Shawn B.
