Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Software Center 0.0.2
Hi Stephen, as usual, I'm no doubt doing something wrong! 1) 1st attempt at ./configure complained I had an out dated intltool, so I grabbed the current one from Synaptics. This then worked. 2) 1st attemp at make install failed, no permissions (sudo !! sorted that one out). The icon is in the System Tools area where I expected it to be, but double clicking on it does nothing. You can't beat having an idiot to test stuff with :) I've dumped the terminal output to http://pastebin.com/dWmEyNFP in case it is of help to you. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Users

Maybe some specific update, like software-center, lxterminal... I know that some computers still doesn't use internet, but most of them use. It was proposed by Canonical to count Ubuntu users, but some people was against this, they don't like been tracking or that their OS sending data by default. So, it was abandoned. One thing you can do, it's enable popcon support : open software-properties-gtk, go to Statistics, and click on the checkbox.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Users (popularity-contest)
Le 12/18/2011 03:03 AM, Jonathan Marsden a écrit : Will whatever new survey you are proposing clearly do better than this? Would enhancing popularity-contest and its associated infrastructure so it *does* distinguish between the various flavours of Ubuntu be as useful, or more useful, than your proposal? How do current numbers of users (as reported by popcon) installing lubuntu-desktop or lxde-common compare to those installing ubuntu-desktop, for example? Overall, I recommend using existing tools and data over trying to build a new survey mechanism from scratch. Yes, popcon is handy for pure statistics, but you can't use it for feedbacks about the usability of the system, or what user would like to see in priority. Of course, using a survey is not 100% reliable, but I don't think any tools which gather this type of data is 100% reliable :) I think a survey done once after each release, could be a good source of information.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Me again :)
Le 12/17/2011 09:59 PM, amjjawad HOOHAA a écrit : That would be great. We do need such team which should NOT be isolated from Ubuntu Team (sorry if I didn't explain myself previously). The Marketing Team Members are Lubuntu Members who will be dedicated to do one main job/task and that will be Marketing. Also, we do need a Wiki or Documentation Team. In my mind, the teams should be free to organize themself, and to work as they like. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Teams_New for my first ideas on the topic. What about a Sub-Forum on LXDE Forum? if that's possible, it would be great since I'm a moderator there. However, someone must do something please about the continuous problem on LXDE Website. It's up and down and when it's up, it's very slow. It sounds like a good idea. What I'm thinking and wondering about: Having more resources depends on money or something else? also, if we are an official variant for Ubuntu then it's not bad idea at all if Canonical spend something to improve Lubuntu in any possible way. I have no idea how their system work and to be honest don't want to be involved, I have enough stuff to care about but I was just wondering. I'll keep searching for people who can really support us financially. In case I find someone, what shall I do? We never discuss the financial case, and it's quite a complex topic :) Imagine, you want to give 10 € to Lubuntu, how do you share it between people who make Lubuntu : - Lubuntu project (and who in the Lubuntu project ?) - Ubuntu project (because we are based on Ubuntu) - Debian project (because we are besed on Ubuntu, which is base on Debian) - LXDE project (because we used many LXDE components) - Other upstream projects (kernel, abiword, gnome-mplayer ...) - ... One idea is to have in the software-center a button to support upstream projects, or / and having a page with all the support links. But, money doesn't do all. For an open source project, we primarily need users, developers, testers, and people who spread the work :) Well, I think there is a bug using these on both Lubuntu 11.10 and 11.04. On 11.10, adding the above two packages will not add the username. Adding the username must be done through indicator-me which is gone in 11.10 and no longer in the repositories. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/ubuntu-11-10-menu-goodbye/ As for 11.04, indicator-me package is still in the repositories but when I added it and rebooted, it's done and on PCManFM, there is no File, Edit, etc ... I have no idea what happened. There is already some bugs and I commented on one of them but can't find it right now. I have asked that question because there is a case where there are 3 different users are using the same PC and they want something to display the name of the current logged in user beside a feature to switch to another user. indicator-me package has 126 files to be downloaded and installed. I was wondering if it's impossible to use indicator me in 11.10, is there any other alternative? Maybe (just a guess) it's because lxdm doesn't support switching user, so adding indicator-session doesn't show the user name, because it's an indicator for switching user.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Differentiating between logged in users (was: Re: Me again :) )

Sounds like all they really need is a way to tell each login from the others. A simple solution is to set each users desktop preferences to use a different desktop wallpaper; which user is logged in will then be pretty clear from the look of the screen. For example, if you have three users, you can set each of them to use one of /usr/share/lxde/wallpapers/lxde_blue.jpg /usr/share/lxde/wallpapers/lxde_green.jpg /usr/share/lxde/wallpapers/lxde_red.jpg The difference between those is pretty obvious. Each user will soon recognize their own colour of wallpaper. If you want to get fancy, use mtpaint to edit some wallpapers that have the user's names on them, and then use those custom wallpapers, a different one for each user :) [You can set the wallpaper by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking on Desktop Preferences, and then clicking on the folder icon to the right of the Wallpaper: field in the Appearance tab of the Desktop Preferences window. ] Jonathan ___ 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] Me again :)
Here's a suggestion for the username in the panel: does each user get their own settings for the panel? If so, then you could set up the clock display like this: %F | %R [Username] (or however you like it) to display the user's name. Just a thought...

[Lubuntu-desktop] Docs team
Hi Lubunteers, as always, an area that people just expect 'to happen', I noted that on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/Tasks#Current_Tasks_For_Anyone Lubuntu is not even mentioned. I know that we have had input into various areas in the past... Is there any one willing to take this one on as P.O.C. (Point Of Contact)? As said, I'll hold P.O.C. for the QA side, but we really do need someone to step forward for this one.
