[Lubuntu-desktop] Testing report - network manager
Hi there Congrats and thanks for all the hard work with Lubuntu! I've noticed that lubuntu B2 (updated) doesn't seem able to 'create new wireless network'. Steps to reproduce - 1. Click network icon in notification area, and select 'create new wireless network' 2. Select wireless security 'none', give the network a name and click 'create' 3. Network manager tries and fails to create the network. Notifies 'disconnected' This is reproducible every time, and I've tried it on a thinkpad x60s and an eee 901. Network creation works fine on ubuntu lucid B2. I've not tried the other security options, but I think there's something to look at here anyway Cheers Roger -- t. +46 (0) 761488167 (Sweden) t. +44 (0) 7812373629 (UK) e. rogeralexanderd...@gmail.com ___ 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

If you then run: sudo iwlist scan Do you see the network? You may have to connect to it after you make it.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] State of the development
On DistroWatch.com Page Hit Ranking for last 7 days Lubuntu is #5. Way to go!

It doesn't mean we will never be part of it. More important, it will not stop us to release an iso. The question will be : what is the statut of this iso. Stable ? Final ? RC ? Beta ? For now, I'm inclined to make the statut RC, to mark we are not officially in Ubuntu, but target to have a stable release. Target for this release is still like others *buntu, end of April. We may have some delay, depending of the state of Lubuntu at this time. == About the state of Lubuntu == There are several main components which are very young : pcmanfm was rewritten, and lxdm is quite new. I think the current state of pcmanfm is quite good. For lxdm, due to many changes in the boot process of Ubuntu, it was quite unstable during Lucid. I hope main issues are resolved with the version in Beta2. To be general, I'm quite happy with the performance result so far, memory usage is low, CPU usage not too bad. I'm still think it needs many more tests. General use cases should be ok, but intensive and not-classic use cases can be more problematic. That's why reporting bugs is important :-) We also lack some features for everyday uses. As we can't fix them for this release, some works will remain for futur release :-) To summarize, it's a good starting point, a preview of what Lubuntu is capable. Feedbacks over the web are mostly positive, it's a nice indicator, but doesn't mean it's perfect. To finish, it's not a technical point of view, but I think we have the best artwork of all *buntu version ;-) == About the work needed == There are still a lot of works to do, I'll do a summarize when the final release will be out. For now, keep testing and report bugs please :-) Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ 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 ___ 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
