What do you mean by old ? If it's around October 10, it's the last daily build 
of Oneiric, so the most up-to-date you can have for 11.10. It's not possible to 
have an official release for Oneiric, you can only try to use the last ISO.
That's about right. Unfortunately, it's gone now, so I can't check it. 
Which makes me wonder about the utility of even having instructions 
made. Sigh. Maybe that's what Phill meant about hosting? Perhaps I can 
do a remaster. As long as someone can host it!

For 12.04, you can test dailies later (it's not useful right now, it's too 
early in the cycle). It's more important to test ISO before developement 
release (Alpha, Beta ...).
Just say the word. I will happily help in any way I can in regards to 
PPC usage. That being said, I'm refurbishing a ThinkPad R60 so it looks 
like I might actually have an official Lubuntu with official support for 
once ;)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu - One Stop Thread

[Michael Rawson]

A suggestion; (although you may or may not think it's acceptable-as mentioned, 
your baby, I respect.)
Perhaps you could leave the thread as-is and any helpful post/articles could be 
incorproted into the wiki? I see this as a good way to generate loads of wiki 
pages at relatively little effort and/or inspiration.

And it's a brilliant idea, the LOST. :)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: End of support for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Netbook and ARM - 2011/10/29

No, but you probably noticed that the backporting was quite slow recently.
Also, pcmanfm is still broken using the backports, so the situation is not 
really good right now :(

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu - One Stop Thread

[Julien Lavergne]

Hi,

I don't think all the sources are incompatible.
I'm agree that wiki should be the knowledge base, and the reference for all the 
documentation. However, having a forum thread for a bookmark purpose and 
chatting is also useful, as long as it points to wiki pages, and people are 
encourage to contribute to the wiki. Having useful answer or info in a post 
will be lost if nobody "save" it on the wiki.
Even Askubuntu can be used, with some links to the wiki also.

Julien Lavergne

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] I can use Lubuntu for remaster?

[Gabriel Salles]

Ola João.

Como já responderam, pode sim fazer. Eu dei uma olhada no seu site e vi que
se trata de uma distribuição um tanto voltada para a educação. Como o
Lubuntu não tem ainda versão LTS (e não terá num futuro próximo), talvez
não seja a melhor opção neste caso. Sendo assim, eu queria sugerir outras
distribuições que de repente sirvam melhor para você utilizar ou fazer um
remaster. A primeira seria o Edubuntu http://www.edubuntu.org/ , que
oficialmente faz parte da família "Buntu".

Há também uma distro que nunca cheguei a usar, mas já ouvi falar algumas
vezes, que é o http://linuxeducacional.com/

Outra, que não aparece no DistroWatch, é a distro Tucunaré, criada pelo
Banco do Brasil e utilizada em muitos telecentros e escolas aqui no Brasil
http://www.redetelecentro.com.br/ . Até onde eu sei, é baseada no próprio
Debian. Penso que vale a pena conhecer este ultimo.


Abraço!

I love the bookmark concept.  I'm just saying that you could to ask the

Not much more I can say.  I can't make it any more clear than I have.  I've

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu - One Stop Thread

[Ali Linx]

Tim,

For the 2nd time and yet again, I'd like to THANK YOU for each and every
word you wrote and for each and every suggestions, be sure I'll keep that
in mind and I'm very sure you wrote all that because you want to help :)
totally understood.
However, I'm afraid you are not seeing my point.

Again, if you go back to my email, or just go to that thread and check the
banner I posted which was done in Photoshop at 4am last night, you'll
understand EVERYTHING :)

That thread is NOT meant to be for posing problems and fixes. That thread
is meant to be an online huge bookmarks thread where anyone can find
everything.
Also, this thread is to analyse users reactions and experience. I'm having
another thoughts much more than just a thread.

For me, even though in one week or less, the thread became Sticky and the
viewers are increasing in a rapid rate - Thank God for that, this is really
promising. However, I don't see anything huge in that. That's nothing.
Thing is, I'm a man with unlimited ambitions. If you want to motivate me,
just de-motivate me and wait for the out-come because you'll be dazzled :)
Believe me, I'm not showing off at all, I'm just trying to tell you one
simple thing: Don't worry, keep supporting me :)

We are one team and serving one noble purpose. Our thoughts and approaches
may vary but after all, we are doing what we do for one simple purpose:
Seeing Lubuntu at the top where it MUST be.

I'm a strong believer in Lubuntu and I'm not going to waste one single day
... I'll invest all my energy in this.

Another point I'd like to highlight. If your thread went 4K and became
LOST, it doesn't mean same will happen with my thread :)
If I'll fail to control things and my thread will be lost, that's not a
problem. By that time, I would have something better than that thread, be
sure of that :)

Thank you for your support and thanks again for your suggestions. I already
started to take that into actions, let's see what will happen :)

A.J.,

I don't think it's too much to *ask* users to either use the appropriate
thread to discuss issues or start a new one if one doesn't exist.  If you
read my suggestion, it's about making their experience more useful to
others and providing you with a way to mange that information.  They can
still post to the thread, but try to take specifics to the appropriate
thread so that information can be more useful to others.   *You just need
to explain why your asking them to do it that way and how and provide
instructions. *   I think if you were to make these changes in post #3,
LOST will be the bomb!  You may have to "police" it a little in the
beginning, but it gets rolling, people will follow along.

It's not about telling what they can't do.  It's about telling them what
the CAN do to make their contributions more useful.  It's up to you
though.  LOST is your baby.  Keep up the good work.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu - One Stop Thread

Phill,

I agree that the wiki is a great place to put "learned" information.  But
most people will find forums easier to use  when the don't understand
something or have a problem they can get help quickly and ideas can be
exchanged more rapidly.  I actually prefer forums to mailing lists and
blogs for most things. *To me the wiki should be the first source for
general information and the forums should be the first place to hash out
problems.*  I think the focus should be on those two areas and they should
point to each other.

BUT, forums can be difficult to navigate.  I may need help with a .desktop
file and a search of the forums will bring up many threads.  Some will be
more useful than others.  It may take much more time and energy to find
that answer on a forum than is should.  So it ends up in a wiki.  Great,
but I'm still digging through the forums.  Ali's LOST points to the wiki
and it may also point to a thread that covers Lubuntu .desktop files.  No
if I have problems following the wiki (remember, I am most likely a noob
here!)  I can pop over to that thread and ask for assistance.  When someone
posts the answer I need it is now there for others to see and it's in a
logical place.  What's great about the forums is that they are
self-updating and long lasting (they don't go away.)  And being in the
Ubuntu forums is the best place for it IMO.

What Ali's LOST has a chance to do is draw Lubuntu users to one place on
the forum and then point them in the right direction.  It's a place the
devs can look to for bugs that may not be reported.  It's could be a place
to find out who needs help.  An it could be a place to find out what we
really need in the wiki.  It could be the most useful tool we have IF it's
managed correctly.  Right now, it's close, but as I pointed out, it's
currently flawed.  It does a great job of pointing people in need to
helpful information, but it does a poor job of pointing out who needs
help.  I've posted a possible solution for that.  But I can't do it for Ali.

Which brings me up to another drawback to the LOST.  Only Ali can control
how effective it will be.  If for any reason he can't do it anymore, then
it can no longer kept current.  It's still a great thread, but it will turn
into a 4K post monster like my laptop thread.  Which would be shame in my
opinion.  Think about how much great information about that laptop is in
that thread.  Now think about how difficult it would be to mine that
information.  I had good intentions when I started it, but I set it up to
fail.  It didn't achieve what I wanted it to do.  Actually I think it made
things worse because if you search those forums for information about that
laptop, it will always point to that thread.  How will anyone ever find
what they need in there?

My hope is Ali implements my suggestion so that doesn't happen with LOST.

Tim

[Lubuntu-desktop] [Bug 664206] Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK not being properly set: user has to type password even if saved in the password manager

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

** Changed in: lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu)
   Status: New => Confirmed

You received this bug notification because you are a member of Lubuntu,

Title:
  SSH_AUTH_SOCK not being properly set: user has to type password even
  if saved in the password manager

Status in GNOME keyring services:
  Unknown
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “lubuntu-default-settings” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “lxde-common” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “lxdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lxde-common

  SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not being properly set. (Or it is pointing to a sock
  that doesn't accomplish its job.)

  Expected behavior:
  You run "ssh myn...@mydomain.net" and the password manager opens a GUI to ask 
for the passphrase. Once unlocked, it remains unlocked until you log off. 
Moreover, at that moment of unlocking you can tell it to remember the 
passphrase forever so it gets automatically unlocked next time you login. Any 
other application that uses ssh-like connections will find this key unlocked as 
well.

  Observed behavior:
  You run "ssh myn...@mydomain.net" and it prompts you for the key passphrase 
in the terminal. You run it again, you are prompted again. Any other 
application that uses ssh-like connections will result in a passphrase prompt 
as well.

  How to reproduce:
  Enter Lubuntu session
  Open Passwords and Encryption Keys
  Create a Secure Shell key
  Configure this key to some domain you can ssh to
  Open a terminal and run ssh myn...@mydomain.net
  You are promted for a password in the terminal interface.

  Partial workaround:
  Here is a partial workaround for a terminal session: export 
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`echo /tmp/keyring*/ssh` after the keyring-daemon has been loaded.
  But it only works within the same terminal session, not for other 
applications that launch ssh-like processes.
  Disclaim: it works for Lubuntu session inside a Ubuntu 10.04 install, with 
GDM as session manager.

  $ printenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK
  /tmp/ssh-PZgdl10603/agent.10603
  $ ssh mydomain
  Enter passphrase for key '/home/leorolla/.ssh/id_rsa': [pressed ^C]
  $ export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`echo /tmp/keyring*/ssh`
  $ printenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK
  /tmp/keyring-k3BQQd/ssh
  $ ssh mydomain
