[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Software Center News
As you can see, in these days, the lubuntu software center project is a little inactive, why? * I'm looking for the PackageKit APIs, to port LSC to PackageKit (PackageKit has also some utils to determinate applications-packages and so, we will be able to change it to Light Software Center and other non *buntu distros will be able to use it) * I'm looking for a Vala port, wich is not so difficult because the most of the code is simply Gtk, wich is just the same in Python and Vala * I've not so much spare time, so i need help, contributors, Vala and Packagekit experts and testers. also, i want to thank Rafael who is designing the LSC icon ;-) I think is all for the moment Best Regards Stephen Smally ___ 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] Help Needed
I'm feeling lazy and don't want to make another forum account, even though, for lxde, I probably should. That being said, the solution is quite simple. For a login shell, ~/.profile is the go to file. This works where the login command is being used, i.e. this even works if you open lxterminal and then use said command to login within the shell, thereby creating a shell (that is using ~/.profile) within a shell (that is not using ~/.profile as it does not work for interactive shells). To put the questions to rest, this is also what is being employed by the display manager to log you in and ultimately start lxde. I believe the OP wanted to add ~/bin to his $PATH, which, actually, ~/.profile does by default, after first checking for the existence of ~/bin. Of course, it could be explicitly added with PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin but a more elegant solution is certainly the one contained within: # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d $HOME/bin ] ; then PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH fi To make clear what's happening here, if -d checks to see whether the given argument exists as a directory. That being said, the comment pretty clearly describes in words exactly what is happening. If you really want to first hand see the effectiveness of ~/.profile, try this: echo ace-minesweeper ~/.profile then logout and log back in again. You'll apparently be stuck in purgatory between lxdm and lxde with nothing but ace-minesweeper. Finish your game and quit and you'll be whisked off to lxde. :D I'm going to go add this to the wiki now. wxl/walter On 11/07/2011 10:57 AM, amjjawad HOOHAA wrote: Please check the OP reply: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8t=31421 http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8t=31421 On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 1:24 AM, Andrew Woodhead andrew.woodhead...@gmail.com mailto:andrew.woodhead...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 9:16 PM, Ali Linx amjja...@gmail.com mailto:amjja...@gmail.com wrote: A user has a problem and he posted on Ubuntu Forum but got no solution so he posted on LXDE Forum seeking for help: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8t=31421 http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8t=31421 I don't know anything about what he's asking so hope someone could help him. ___ 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] Lubuntu Software Center News
Hi, Good to have some news from you :) I done some testing during the UDS, and the results are not bad :) But I imagine porting it to Vala + Packagekit will be even better :) I assume the port to PackageKit is necessary before the Vala one, because I don't think aptdaemon is available in Vala. Please focus on this one before breaking the application in the rewrite. Don't hesitate to publish your work in a separate branch, so people can test and help you if it's necessary. I also have some suggestions : * Use check-language-support after installing a package, to check if language package need to be installed. By launching it, it should display the packages that need to be installed * Add a timeout when using the search box, like 0.5s before starting to display the results. On my system, I just have the time to enter 1 letter, and the CPU is at 100 % because the search started. If I have the time to enter more letters, my search will be more accurate, and the CPU will be used only when I need it. * Display only 20 (?) results for each view, and add a button Display all results. It should reduce the first search, and don't use the CPU to display hundreds of results. Let me know if you need more info, or bug reports.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?
Guys, I was wondering if someone has noticed that LXTask actually shows +100MB usage more than System Monitor and Conky so what is going on? I have System Monitor installed on Lubutnu 11.04 (was testing something) and Conky as well. While each of System Monitor (GNOME APP) and Conky are showing the same memory usage, LXTask add *100MB* to that. Example: System Monitor + Conky shows 287MB while Firefox Loaded with two tabs. On the other hand, LXTask shows 387MB. Any idea? Thanks! On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 5:21 AM, ∅ maps.backw...@gmail.com wrote: I like the idea of a script.. at least for most of it. The one bugaboo will be doing start up and shut down tests. Maybe we could use an appropriate signal? I'm not sure which one would be used to cleanly shutdown the program, but, for example, with SIGTERM we could do: kill -n 15 $(pidof firefox) kill -n 15 $(pidof chromium-browse) We need to know what systems these are being run on. Therefore: uname -srov lsb_release -a cat /proc/cpuinfo cat /proc/meminfo We need to use new/fresh profiles. So: firefox -CreateProfile foo firefox -P foo space separated list of URLs to be opened in tabs chromium-browser --user-data-dir=foo space separated list of URLs to be opened in tabs One problem with this is that Chromium defaults to loading a choice of search engines.. so it's not technically started up. It IS important we use as many tabs as reasonable. There tends to be a bit of diversion in performance between browsers depending on the number of tabs opened. As for getting resource usage, I'm thinking that a good solution would be to use proc. Rather than try to follow a moving target (e.g. lxtask), something more static might be useful: cat /proc/$(pidof firefox) cat /proc/$(pidof chromium-browse) wxl/walter __**_ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~**lubuntu-desktophttps://launchpad.net/%7Elubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.**launchpad.netlubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~**lubuntu-desktophttps://launchpad.net/%7Elubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/**ListHelphttps://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Best Regards, *amjjawad* Lubuntu One Stop Thread (Mega Thread)http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1844755 My Wiki Page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad | My Launchpadhttps://launchpad.net/%7Eamjjawad | My Ubuntu Forum Profile http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=941822 *My Actions Speak Louder Than My Words ||** ** I walk by faith, not by sight **|| Imagination is more important than Knowledge || **Keep It Simple and Short* ___ 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
