Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Hi! It's great! Nice artwork! Respect for including such applications as hardware drivers, printing, languages by default. It now looks very user-friendly. However, there are some minor problems: 1) a lot of errors when changing screensavers. It can be solved by creating directory /usr/share/backgrounds by default. 2) as was discussed earlier when clicking Desktop Session Settings the tab Desktop should be opened, not Interface. 3) why have you choosen xfburn to include? I think that the most popular area for installing LXDE (and of course Lubuntu) are netbooks and they just don't have any CD/DVD-ROMs... In my opinion, it is unnecessary. I have tested on my netbook HP 1233 - everything is working perfectly, and using by default 110 Mb out of 1Gb is impressive (with Ubuntu 9.10 mini.iso + LXDE it uses after startup nearly 155 Mb). However, if there is xsplash I haven't seen it, may be because of my videocard (Via Chrome9), I don't know. I have also tried to run livecd on my notebook Asus M51TR. However, all that I have seen was Lubuntu logo for approximately 1 minute after what there came a kernel panic. I'll try to find solution but exactly now I don't know why it is happening so. In conclusion, I would like to say that it looks perfect and amazing. Thank you!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Feedback new testing ISO 20100215
Hi, this version looks very promising. Nm-applet is working fine. The LXDesign Theme is really a very cool clearlooks theme. Very good work ! Chromium is running its first run wizard if clicked. Perhaps we should ship a preconfigured version with bookmarks and set it as default browser (its telling me that it isn't yet). Hmm... acpi=off in the livecd boot parameters ? I guess a temporary fix due to hal removal isn't it ? The next thing I noticed. There is currently no visible gnome-power-manager icon in the systray of the panel (as it is started automatically but I don't see any icon but can click on it I guess it is a panel problem). Next thing gpicview should it be in the panel menu under graphics ? (somehow the graphics submenu seems strange containing only 1 app) My XFMultimedia Keys for Volume up/down mute is not working (eeePC 701). xfce4-volumed should fix this or setting the keys in the openbox config and creating a script that does volume up/down and mute (if you don't want to have the fency notify-osd) The last thing that we might include (only a suggestion) is a tweaked /etc/sysctl.conf for Netbooks: # Delay real write to disk vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500 is crucial for this. Making the system visually faster. Here a suggestion (also for all testers) set the panel size to 24 and the icon size to 22. This way the panel here (on eeePC 701) looks much better. Overall well made promising future with pcmanfm2 I hope ;) ___ 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] New testing ISO 20100215
Ok, i built up an old System with Pentium (i don't know if II or IV, 360 MHz) and 128 MBytes of RAM. It Takes very Long to boot and it First seems like the pc wouldnt respond any more, but about 10 minutes with Black screen you can see the panel and the Cursor- no Desktop and no icons there. I didnt realize the arrow-Symbol to be the One for network, maybe we should use another one. The System itself is extremely slow, but thats the hardware (im just used to my 4gb RAM:-)) maybe we could use something else for the graphics , like kolourpaint or so. The People we aim at are used to ms paint, and what we offer them in lubuntu is too complicated. Ill go on in testing and ill write again later.

Seeing only the blue bar is a indicator that your graphicscard is not supported well enough. In the final version nvidia (thx to nouveau) ati (open ati driver) and intel will show a nice splash screen. Other than that, I like it, running it in a VBOX with 384 RAM, everything seems snappy.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Here is a quick report on the current cut on an older laptop. HP Omnibook 910 PIII 500 MHz 320 MB Memory with 3Com 3CCFEM556B 10/100 PC Card and SMC 2835W wireless card Lubuntu seems to boot fine, a little slow, but it looks nice on the old LCD. Eraser head style mouse seems to work fine. However, I could not seem to find a way to configure the wireless card. That is when I checked, and the distro is not detecting either of the two PC cards in the system. So no report on browser speed. The system did not automatically mount a flash drive. I was able to mount manually. Sound does work; I was able to play an ogg file via mplayer off of the flash drive. Hope this helps.

If you guys have any questions I could test with my laptop please ask them.Just like sound and stuff...Im not sure this is the way to use a mailing list, but you guys look to be very nice. Keep up the good work ! Did you manage to get Lubuntu installed?

Thanks for the report. Le lundi 15 février 2010 à 18:54 +0300, Mike Nokel a écrit : However, there are some minor problems: 1) a lot of errors when changing screensavers. It can be solved by creating directory /usr/share/backgrounds by default. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/129769 2) as was discussed earlier when clicking Desktop Session Settings the tab Desktop should be opened, not Interface. It's part of the pcmanfm2 integration, should be fixed at this point. 3) why have you choosen xfburn to include? I think that the most popular area for installing LXDE (and of course Lubuntu) are netbooks and they just don't have any CD/DVD-ROMs... In my opinion, it is unnecessary. There is also old hardware with old CD burner. It's pretty common to have a CD/DVD burner by default :) I have tested on my netbook HP 1233 - everything is working perfectly, and using by default 110 Mb out of 1Gb is impressive (with Ubuntu 9.10 mini.iso + LXDE it uses after startup nearly 155 Mb). However, if there is xsplash I haven't seen it, may be because of my videocard (Via Chrome9), I don't know. It's now plymouth which is used. It required kernel mode-settings, available for ATI, Intel and for Nvidia via the nouveau driver. If it's not available, you should fallback to a blue progress bar. I have also tried to run livecd on my notebook Asus M51TR. However, all that I have seen was Lubuntu logo for approximately 1 minute after what there came a kernel panic. I'll try to find solution but exactly now I don't know why it is happening so. That will be interesting to test with a Ubuntu daily build, to see if it's not a general problem for Lucid.

Te first thing I noticed is the same stratup bar as fedora??? Whats with that? you know what everyone will say! It is simply plymouth (yeah Fedora invented it and Ubuntu is now using it too). Seeing only the blue bar is a indicator that your graphicscard is not supported well enough. In the final version nvidia (thx to nouveau) ati (open ati driver) and intel will show a nice splash screen. It's also the case for any Vbox users, because if I understand right, Vbox driver is not KMS capable inside the guest. You can test the plymouth theme only on a real system.

The connected ICON for Network Manager is two arrows, one up the other down, which persdonally to me does not indicate a network connection. Can we change this back to the default one of two computers? it doesn't even look like a network manager this way, or at least even the ubuntu one where it looks like two sockets plugged in... You should file a bug against elementary icons (https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/elementaryicons), maybe they have a good reason to do it that way.
