Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDE + OOo Impress + Ubuntu / Lubuntu-- squeezed subscripts

 Here are two screenshots - one in presentation mode and the other in

This might be a bug in OpenOffice but I am not quite sure if how you
created this document. Did you draw a textbox for the crunched text ? Or
how did you do it ?
(Maybe the best would be also uploading this example test file aswell)

 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? Thanks. /Mårten

A solution/bodge.
Create a Desktop file in .config/autostart for each user with the required 
resolution. e.g.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=SetScreenResolution
Comment=Set screen resolution using XRandR
Exec=xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768

Just change the 'mode 1024x768' for each user.

Backups? :P
Plenty to go at. A simple point-and-click solution is the obvious way to
go.

Not a priority, but if there is a good lightweight solution, it could be good.

As a member of the 'Must do a backup tomorrow society' :) it is something I’ll
have to have a look at.

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

The Any thing HAL free is actually limited to Brasero, I didn't find
another good CD burner without HAL.

TBH all my CD/DVD burning is done with k3b as this just seams to be the most
reliable.

I would like to see some discussion of the minimum, REALISTIC hardware
requirements.

It depends of the use, and sometimes the state of your hardware. It's not
really easy to set an universal requierement, only experiments can help in
this case.

I was thinking more of the installation but now we have an alternate installer
this is really a problem.

Also a RSS reader might be nice, Liferea maybe.

Ubuntu didn't have one, and Liferea is not really lightweight. Like Backup,
if a good solution exist, why not.

OK. Not a great problem for people to install if needed and I suppose there is
probably some thing for Chromium that does this anyway.

WBar, the launcher/dock thingy is rather nice and gives a modern feel to
the desktop and may be worth considering.

Lxpanel is a component which will be very difficult to remove, unless you
have very very good reasons and a good benchmark.

People I’ve shown Lubuntu to with WBar running wrere rather impressed and I
thought it might just provide something different from the crowd. I use it in
conjunction with the panel, which I move to the top.

NumLockX installed by default would be very useful. to me any way. I know
there’s a problem with it at the moment but, hopefully it will be solved.

I suppose the thing to do, really, is to try and get rid of some of the
annoying bugs in the config area, like the LXRandR one mentioned earlier.

Have fun in the USA :D

If you want to add that to the wiki.
The lowest amount of RAM I got it to run on was 80KiB. It wouldn’t run on
64KiB, that may the the particular machine though. I’m trying on another
machine now.

That should have been MiB not KiB.

The wiki states that 160MiB is the minimum for Ubiquity, this is true if you
have a separate video card. For a machine with on-board video more memory is
required, probably 192 MiB. The same appears to be true for the alternate
installer. 80MiB with on-board video and 64 MiB with a separate card, although
that is still running after 4hrs!
