[Lubuntu-desktop] LXDM Theme
LXDM supports themes: http://blog.lxde.org/?p=595 And I'd like one that supports a user list, although I'm not the first to think of this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-artwork/+bug/666590 -- http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8t=1953 Maybe I could rip one off another distro? Does anyone know of another LXDE-based distribution that already has a LXDM theme with user list support? ___ 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] ozone
Aloha Rafael, I've talked to charlie-tca and the current theme is already pretty accessible, only side note was the contrast in the lettering in the window border (window title). But other than that it's already good. With metta, Chris Druif 2011/7/2 神癒礁湖 (Rafael Laguna) rafaellag...@gmail.com ** More updated things. Sorry, GTK3 is still in development (well, GTK2 too), so there's no download available. I need to tell you that making the GTK2 to GTK3 upgrade is a hell. A strange fight between GTK2 and GTK3 breaks the system making ugly pink fluorescent frames around controls everywhere. Things to do (among others): - finish GTK2 theme - finish GTK3 theme - complete wallpapers pack (8 resolutions) - retouching icons (maybe some new) - retouching panel and button - making a matching Chromium theme (I need help with this) - making an accessibility theme (I absolutely haven't any time to do this this, maybe you, Chris Druif?) - bits and pieces almost invisible (theme performance, sharp edges and colour optimization) - drink some beer [image: :D] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Artwork/Incoming/Oneiric/Ozone Thank you for your feedback, boys and grils.

Awesome, thanks. Also, Lubuntu doesn't appear to support multiple X sessions? Is this due to LXDM as well? nb Sent from my non-Outlook mail client.

Well, you've cathed me on that. I don't really know, but anyway, the machines Lubuntu is intended for doesn't rn well with multiple X sessions open, I think.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDM Theme
For what it's worth, I run Lubuntu on a Dell Precision T5500 with TWO Xeon E5520s (a total of 16 logical CPUs) with an Nivida GTX 260, 12GB of RAM, a Revo X2 PCIe SSD for / and 4 WD500 Blacks in a RAID0 for /home connected to a 1920x1200 IPS panel. I had to install the meta packages from the Ubuntu Alt 64bit install cd. What I'm saying is, I think some of your users aren't using old tech. Some just enjoy the screaming fast performance Lubuntu offers. I like how it gets out of my way, so others might too. nb Sent from my non-Outlook mail client.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDM Theme
I know. My computer isn't so high-level :) but it's not an old hardware and I enjoy the speed of Lubuntu. But we have to keep in mind that Lubuntu is designed for working in old hardware as well as new, that's the goal. Even you will notice the difference between Lubuntu and the standard Ubuntu desktop. So, getting it more overbloated is not an option. That's why we're searching (always) for new ways to speed up the system (and, if necessary, replacing a default application). Glad you enjoy Lubuntu.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 700 mhz laptop with 256 ram running lubuntu
Good to know for our personal benchmarks. There're distros aimed to be really minimal, like Slitaz, but they don't provide software collection that Lubuntu does. And, obviously, the desktop is less usable and user-friendly.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
Well, very quickly, what do all wish me to concentrate upon? My view is where we came on from and our rasion d'etre There still seems to be an issue between https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#Downloading Lubuntu and the information on http://lubuntu.net/ A new comer to Lubuntu cares not about which area has the up to date information. All that matters to them is that we do not get one set of information on lubuntu.net that is not in synch with the other and, vice versa. Whatever Lubuntu area is chosen for the most up to date information is THE area, all others feed off it. I know that I am awaiting for the build system to be finalised, I can and will happily explain that we are awaiting. It was nice to be asked from the Lubuntu area to make a presentation to everyone.

For those of you who have not participated in an Ubuntu Developer Week before, this is roughly how it works: - Sessions are held in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net. It will almost exclusively you speaking in there. Please try to finish your session in time for the next session. - Some sessions in the past had ~400 attendants, so to keep the session log readable and understandable, we ask attendants to ask their questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
Hi Phil, I would agree to continue having the information on the wiki and linking it from lubuntu.net as this is the easiest way to have different people (whoever wants) to work together on the project documentation. We can work together to sync the links and documentation with the latest versions on the wiki and help area during UDW.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 700 mhz laptop with 256 ram running lubuntu
my daughters boyfriend has a 700 mhz compaq laptop with 256 ram running lubuntu can anyone go lower than that My main machine before the hardware upgrade was like that one. After an upgrade to that laptop, i enjoyed time to install Lubuntu on an old Pentium 2 (266Mhz 256Ram) and on a AMD-K6 100MHZ * 5.5X with the same Ram. Every install was made painless without any hack or weird stuff. Results? (for Lubuntu 10.04) - My Laptop runs better than ever (really, is like having a powerfull machine :) - The Pentium 2 runs quite nice (just a little bit slower than Windows 98 on the same machine :) - The AMD-K6 runs functionally, much slower than Win98 on the same machine though... i think it's due to it's video card (Sis 530 of 2Mb) (Note: in this machine, i've been able to run a system with 52Mb Ram used :) I have one machine more to make it run: a Pentium 1 laptop, 166Mhz (or less...) 24Mb Ram... the day i could use anything else than Win98 on that, i will be the happiest man in the world, and i'm hoping that one day Lubuntu could make that possible since it's (from far) my favourite distro :) (and the more lightweight complete functional out there) Question to the devs: do you *think* that maybe one day the optimizations could make a nice and usable system (say Lubuntu) running with the requeriments that Win98 did? I'm talking about less that 150Mhz and less than 50Mb Ram... Hope it offenses no one that i'm comparing Lubuntu requeriments with Win98 ones... ___ 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] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
I've not been able to play at the desk much in the past few weeks. but the top of my list is: 1) Integrate with iso-testing so I can test Lubuntu rather than Ubuntu. (Although I'll still cross-test for certain bugs.) 2) I think you know what will work best with the documentation. I stumbled a bit at first but after corresponding briefly with you at the Ubuntu forums it all became clear. 3) Bug reporting info is good but may need some refining. I'm personally quite pleased with Lubuntu, both Natty and Oneiric. Beyond being a great light-weight distro I think it offers a sweet alternative to the newer Unity and Gnome options ;^) BTW I can get Lubuntu to run on a PII 333mhz CPU w/256mb RAM, not live but if I choose install it does install and work properly - certainly better than Win 98 :^) --- On Mon, 7/4/11, Phill Whiteside phi...@ubuntu.com wrote: From: Phill Whiteside phi...@ubuntu.com Subject: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation To: lubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Date: Monday, July 4, 2011, 5:01 PM Well, very quickly, what do all wish me to concentrate upon?
