Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] samba support missing from command line?
Le 21 oct. 2011 à 23:15, maps.backw...@gmail.com a écrit : phillw asked me to send this along. anywho, i tried to connect to a Samba share and couldn't browse to it via Go Network Drives Windows Network (errors Failed to retrieve share list from server and then The specified location is not mounted) but could get to it via smb:// URI. however, i really wanted to browse in lxterminal, so i proceeded to: sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt and it failed. upon installing smbfs, no problems. i guess the real question is whether or not this is a bug. if we intend CLI to support Samba natively, then this should be a part of lubuntu-core, else we should at least add it to the wiki and/or FAQ. wxl See previous email of PCMan about it : No, it's not a bug and smbfs is not needed, either. GVFS, if properly installed with proper backends, should support smb. If you can use gvfs-ls or gvfs-* commands to handle smb:// paths, then it's a bug of pcmanfm. Otherwise, gvfs or other stuff is not correctly configured under lubuntu. Could you please do the tests with gvfs and report back ?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu - One Stop Thread
Thank you so much for your nice words, I appreciate that :) @Tim This should be very useful as long as you take ownership and keep it up to date and until it gets so big it's impossible to navigate. It should prove useful for this release and a new one could be started for subsequent releases. I'll update it on daily basis whether on this release or the coming ones :) With the index page on the first post, it's impossible that it will be hard to navigate ;) By time, you'll understand what I mean. I've seen some threads like GRUB2 Threads but drs305 which are great threads but hard to navigate because there is NO index page/post that will point you to exactly where you want. Thank you again :) @Lance Looks great, I like it :^) I've had very little desk time lately but I think that's a great idea. Possibly around December or January I can help contribute to that. Thanks for your dedication, Appreciate that :) Don't worry about that, take your time. My pleasure and I'm glad to dedicate my time to this great time. Thanks for your words :) @Julien Good idea, thanks for your work :) Please also keep links on the wiki to this thread, so people searching on the documentation can find easily this valuable source of information. You are most welcome and it's my pleasure to help :) I'll do that once I'm done with adding more stuff. I'm planning to add other links, posts and stuff like that.

[Lubuntu-desktop] [ PCManFM ] Trash - Adding Trash to Desktop
Hi PCMan and everyone, As you may know, many users including myself are wondering when it's possible to add Trash to desktop and have Right Click Empty Trash just like the other Desktop Environment? http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8t=2018 I followed the above steps and I have now two icons on my Desktop but there is NO Empty Trash Option from that icon, I still have to do it the old way.

[Lubuntu-desktop] [Bug 664206] Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK not being properly set: user has to type password even if saved in the password manager
Default lubuntu oneiric installation contains this package and there is pam_gnome_keyring in /etc/pam.d/lxdm, so, that's not the case. But your words remind me to look into /var/log/auth.log, and that's what I see there: gnome-keyring-daemon[1498]: couldn't set environment variable in session: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files After quick googling I found theese bugs related to this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/344014 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/34 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/357346 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/564831 They are mostly about xfce-session. So, it seems lxsession has exactly the same problems. Here is the patch to startlubuntu script that solves the problem.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [ PCManFM ] Trash - Adding Trash to Desktop
Another question: In Nautilus, there is a great package: nautilus-image-converter. With one click, you can re-size multiple images. I have no idea how to do that on LXDE/Lubuntu. Any idea? Any future plans to add that to PCManFM? I know there are other applications/approaches to resize but I'm looking for the fastest one. Thanks!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Future - Target Market
The priorities are optimizations and stabilizations, and adding most needed and wanted features. I personally don't think we should compare us with other distros (even Xubuntu). We have a goal, Xubuntu has another, let's just trying to do our best to improve ourselft for our users :) +1 Couldn't agree more. We need to stop comparing ourselves to other distribution BUT in the same time, we must keep ourselves up to date and keep looking for better features to add. Checking on other projects IS helpful but comparing and trying to adopt exactly or similar approaches might NOT be good idea all the time. For example, if one feature in XFCE will slow down LXDE, I personally will vote against it no matter what. LXDE is super fast and it should be like that as always. This is my personal opinion :) Being around on Ubuntu Forum, I see MANY are converting to LXDE/Lubuntu. However, I see one major issue and I'm trying to find a way to solve it but not sure how long I need for that. The problem is: People don't know much about LXDE and Lubuntu. They think it's totally different world that VLC on their Unity or XFCE won't work on LXDE so they keep asking such questions. I've seen many questions like that. I think we must promote for LXDE more. Lots of work must be done here if you ask me. One step ahead IMHO is to improve our Wiki and Documentation system. I'm trying to develop an approach I already have started with some months ago but I need some time for that. I have my own vision of how to promote for LXDE and Lubutnu. Another step ahead is having more members with groups, each group is in charge of ONE TASK. Having that said, members will stay focus and their productivity will be higher. Just some thoughts to share with you, as always :) Thanks!
