[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu removes windows from Grub
Hi, Whenever I install Lubuntu 10.10 w/a windows partition side by side, after the 1st update the windows is gone from the grub menu. Only happens with Lubuntu and happens consistently. Will this ever be fixed?

Both take around 12-14 MiB but, Xarchiver is a slow CPU hog taking 4½ mins. to extract an 84 MiB ISO from a BZ2 file using 70% CPU while file-roller took 40 secs. and used 45% CPU. This was teh worst of 3 tests but Xarchiver was quite a bit slower throughout.

As for CPU usage, it uses between 10 and 20% plus the application it calls. It’s one major concern to me is the pregnant pause between clicking some thing and anything happening, this can be anything from 3-5 secs. on my machine. I think it is something worth keeping an eye on to see how it develops. For now though I think we should stick with LCC. I would, however, suggest a couple of things to make it better. This is based on comments by a new user. Could the tool tips have a bit of an explanation as to what each thing does and if an application isn’t installed could it say so when clicked. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net ___ 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

LightDM more or less works, but it has some glitches and it's hard to set up. First, its upstart config file is not complete and needs some fix. Please if someone know how to do this, help the author. Second, I never got it work correctly with console Kit and some authentication thing. Again, if anyone know how to get it work, please help. Otherwise, it should be a good replacement for gdm.
