Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] PPA for lubuntu-software-center
Alright, sorry to bother everyone with two consecutive emails. I stumbled on this how-to from WebUpd8.orghttp://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/install-lubuntu-software-center.html and edited my LSC.ini in ~/.config/lsc/LSC.ini removing all the spaces before the lines. And guess what? The program launched without errors. Beautiful!

I'm Jean Austin of Ubuntu Team Philippines. I read about this interesting news in OMG! Ubuntu! online a few days ago and decided to try it. I am running a virtualized Lubuntu 11.10 that I recently upgraded to test the beta. However, like Matthew, I encountered the same error message when launching Lubuntu Software Center in a Terminal (with and without 'sudo'). I also tried launching it from the LXDE menu but unfortunately had problems too. I tried filing a bug report but an error box appeared and said [Problem in ... lubuntu-software-center] The problem cannot be reported: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Audio Conf for Lubuntu
For ALSA, a potential candidate GUI mixer is gamix. For PulseAudio, maybe we can use pama. Both are written in pure C language IIRC. Please evaluate them if possible. They are not the best ones, but at least they will be better then xterm -e alsamixer. Other ones I can find are written in python or some other scripting stuff.

I think for a lot of people it's useful to control the mic and all that stuff in alsamixer. Plus, there's nothing to add but this little shortcut :) And maybe there's a way to show lxterminal without the menus??? I'm not a fan of the solution, because it will add a non translated entry in the menu. It's also not really dynamic (doesn't deal with pulseaudio when it's running), and alsamixser is not really user-friendly (it's still a command line program which emulate a GUI). I didn't plan to fix this problem with this solution. My idea was to enable the Configure button when you right click on the volume applet on the panel. So, as it seems to be an annoying bug for people, I take some time to implement this. You can test the result by adding the ppa : ppa:lubuntu-dev/staging . The lxpanel will be available in a few minutes. This is the behavior : - If pulseaudio is detected, it will try to launch the gnome-sound preference if it's installed. If not, it will look at pavucontrol. - Else, it will try to launch gnome-alsamixer, and if it's not on the system, try to launch xterm -e alsamixer. It will offer a GUI for sound configuration, with a bit of dynamism, and without adding an English entry in the menu. Please test it (you need to reboot after installing lxpanel) and give us feedback about this solution.

To: Phill Whiteside phi...@ubuntu.com Date: Saturday, September 10, 2011, 5:49 PM IMHO that looks fine. The download link displays the official Ubuntu DL links, and the md5sum link displays the actual Ubuntu official info. I think now that we're officially part of Ubuntu it's always best to use their info. I'm not sure how to handle older links, like Alpha 3. That's a dead link, the same is true for Ubuntu itself. Outside of hardcore testers who wants an old image anyway ;^) Of course this will all change with 12.04 and beyond because we'll always want to provide DL info for all supported versions of Lubuntu. Once official support ends then it should, and must, get harder to find those images.

Da: br41...@gmail.com mailto:br41...@gmail.com Data: 11/09/2011 18.17 Ogg: [Lubuntu-desktop] Asking: How to read 'chm' and 'pdb' I'm a newbie and I really love my new lubuntu. But I have some problems here. I can't open my 'chm' and 'pdb' files. Is there any I can do? ... Yes, these files are probably readable in Lubuntu. There are things you can do to help us find out exactly what they are. Then, we can help you to install and try out some programs that will work with them. On 09/11/2011 10:18 AM, Phill Whiteside wrote: pdb seems to be the file extension used by PDA's.. ... The .pdb extension is also used by some versions of Microsoft Visual C/C++ as a Program Database. In general, across multiple platfrorms, an extension .xyz does not uniquely identify a file type, even in Windows it may not uniquely identify a filetype. Fortunately (!), this is Linux, not Windows. In Linux, we do not need to guess what is in a file based on its file extension. Instead, we can find out what kind of file it is, based on its contents. The simple little utility for doing this is called file So, in LXTerminal, please do cd /wherever/the/files/are # use the real path for your files! file *.chm *.pdb and tell us exactly what the file command outputs. That output will indicate clearly and specifically what the files really are. We will know whether a .pdb file is a PalmOS database, or an MSVC C/C++ program database, or something else entirely. Then, once we know what the files are, we can look at what Linux applications will read and write such files. Clear, simple, step by step, logical. No guessing needed. If we *want* to guess (for fun?): most likely, the .chm files will be something like MS Windows HtmlHelp Data, and the .pdb files *may* be something like DB PalmOS document, or any one of about 22 other PalmOS file types, or they really may be MSVC program database files. To read MS Windows HtmlHelp Data (.chm) files, you can use one of many CHM viewer or converter programs in Linux. In Lubuntu, I would start with sudo apt-get install xchm for an X-based CHm file viewer, or sudo apt-get install chmsee for a GTK-based viewer, and if you want to convert these files to HTML, try sudo apt-get install archmage Working with PalmOS Document files may be a little trickier, depending on exactly what kind of PalmOS file they are. One possibility is an ebook reader that can read many interesting PDA and ebook files, fbreader, so sudo apt-get install fbreader might be worth a try. But again, these are just *guesses* -- we need the output from that file command, to be able to help with any certainty at all about what these files truly are.
