[Lubuntu-desktop] A Newbie Question about Autostarting

2010-05-12 Thread Lane Lester
I'm a long-time user of Ubuntu. Lately I've been using Openbox for my WM, so I decided to try Lubuntu and get rid of some unused overhead. I'm also a fan of Conky, and I quickly learned that it didn't get along with pcmanfm. So I've commented it out and am using feh to manage my wallpapers. I

Hi Phill, if you in a desperate need of a minimal install cd I can build one. But how should it look like ? A ubuntu minimal CD with all the deb packages using debian installer ? Or a minimal LiveCD with only lxde as a desktop that allows you to install the system with a cli installer ? The

Open PCManFM and go to Edit Preferences Desktop. There is an option Manage the desktop and show icon files. Turning this off removes all icons from the desktop. You have to have it, or no icons at all. Your choice. -Andy On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 9:54 PM, Ted To foru...@theo.to wrote: Hi, Can

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu and high memory consumption

2010-05-12 Thread Keith Clark
I have installed lubuntu-desktop on my computer which is running Ubuntu 10.04. When I start up Ubuntu and open Terminal and run htop, I see that I'm using 152 MB of RAM. I start Lubuntu and open LXTerminal and run htop, and I'm using 200 MB of RAM! Why does Lubuntu use significantly more RAM

That certainly got my attention, since I just switched from U Lucid to L Lucid in hopes of getting a slimmer system. But I can confirm your observations to some extent: Ubuntu Lucid: 157 MB Lubuntu Lucid: 138 MB... but I have pcmanfm disabled so I can run conky, and I have lxpanel disabled so I

1. This may be caused by bugs in ureadahead. Rebooting for several times might fix this. On my box, Lubuntu uses less RAM than yours so I cannot reproduce this. 2. PCManFM2 can work well with concky if your concky is configured correctly. There is a blog post on http://blog.lxde.org/ for this
