With Lubuntu's new and growing popularity (I'm among the recent, grateful converts), it seems reasonable to think of small enhancements that will make the migration a little easier. There has been a fair bit of call in the Ubuntu forums for some simple GUI means of editing the applications menu, for example.

[Lubuntu-desktop] [Doc/Support Request] Removal of Bluetooth
Hi list, As I was looking around the web for a way to remove/disable bluetooth completely, as the BIOS of the machine can't do it for some reason (I rather not flash it). I noticed that there were no good documentation regarding this issue, neither on our own wiki[1], help.ubuntu[2], or arch's wiki[3]. So I shamefully ask if someone could provide their expertise to document this issue? Ideas on what to cover: *Disabling bluetooth by configuration. *Removing bluetooth related packages. *Disabling the kernel module (for marginal boot time decrease, if any). Regards, Alexander.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?
Let's not start a war here... I don't want to be rude, but please keep such personal opinions out of this discussion. I think we can all agree that both Firefox and Chromium are rich in features. We are simply trying to find out which browser, out of Firefox and Chromium, use the least resources. We want to chose the lightest of the two to be our out-of-the-box web browser, whatever users prefer to use after that is simply an apt-get away. Let's not think in terms of This is what I would prefer but rather This is what a user on a low spec machine would prefer.

Just look at the HTML5 capabilities it just beats firefox here with in my view important things just like HTML5 videoplayback (H264 is supported) Google is dropping H264 support: http://blog.chromium.org/2011/01/html-video-codec-support-in-chrome.html or the fact that every browser tab in chromium is running as a different process in a sandbox which makes a crash of one tab not concerning for other tabs. Firefox might do that in the future also, but it costs memory to sandbox each browser tab. And I believe Chromium cheats: when available memory gets too low, tabs begin sharing the same process so it's a bit harder to know what's really going on. All in all I am in flavor of Chromium as its still faster and offers the better features. That's a bit subjective as Firefox also offers unique features: It's possible to run a few hundred tabs in Firefox; the design of Chromium's tabbar makes that much more painful in Chromium. Firefox has a much more powerful addon framework (although Chromium may improve this next year). The user has more control over his data with Firefox Sync than with Google's version. While I'm not a Google-hater, I think it's very important for the free web that Mozilla continues to exist. Since Mozilla is a bit more open than Chromium and multiple steps more open than Android, I think open source fans should consider supporting Firefox if the features are nearly equal, which in my opinion they are. This is why I hope Firefox continues to remain the Ubuntu default browser. Since Lubuntu has different constraints in choosing default apps, I'll let Julien and the Lubuntu devs make their own evaluation. Both browsers are fully supported in Ubuntu (Canonical is looking to hire someone who can help maintain Chromium).

Just finished some testing using: Chromium 15.0.874.102 Firefox 7.0.1 No extensions, no tab history (tabs are clean). 1 tab (logged into gmail) chromium-browser: 50.1 + 24.7 + 9.1 = 83.9 MB firefox: 97.2 MB 2 tabs (logged into gmail, ubuntuforums.org) chromium-browser: 54.5 + 24.7 + 9.1 = 88.3 MB firefox: 97.4 MB Summary: Not only does Chromium start slightly faster, it still has lower memory usage with few tabs running. Firefox has improved A LOT however, we should keep our eyes open in the future. I don't know how much the gtk2 vs gtk3 issue affects us, but I suppose we should aim at only using gtk3 apps?

[Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?
I wanted to bring up the discussion about replacing Chromium with Firefox in 12.04. I'm not sure if this was discussed on UDS, but in my opinion, this is worth looking into. Firefox has reduced it's memory usage dramatically, and I'm currently trying out Firefox 7 as a replacement. I do not have detailed memory benchmarks (yet!), but I will definitely do some benchmarks in the near future. However, I'm pretty sure Firefox has better (lower) memory usage when having several tabs open (more than 3). Other reasons to switch: GTK3 Better desktop integration (Chromium themeing is limited and hard to include as default) What do you guys think? ___ 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
[Lubuntu-desktop] Possible pcmanfm bug
I'm pretty busy at the moment, but I did give 11.10 a quick run through yesterday, I found a bug that might be pcmanfm related. The bug in questions can be reproduced like this: 1) Open a compressed file/folder (.zip / .rar) with fileroller. 2) Extract the contents by drag drop in to a folder. This is where I get an error (did not write it up, please try to reproduce) and get some kind of weird freeze. The mouse pointer can be moved, and I could also change keyboard layout through a self made keyboard shortcut. However, none of my actions are registered and clicking things just didn't do anything nor did other keyboard binds work. I did not find anything on Launchpad (did a quick search) regarding the following bug, so if needed, could someone create a report? ___ 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] About GPicView
I just installed Viewnior through their PPA, here are my results and thoughts... 1) Memory usage[1]: viewnior: 23.0 MB gpicview: 20.0 MB Pretty much identical, Viewnior is just as fast if not faster when browsing through a folder of images. 2) Thoughts: So far Viewnior is great, I like it. If this is what you want to do (Gpicview is your project after all) I'd support your decision. It's fast, light and has ability to crop images (a very big plus tbh, especially for Lubuntu's targeted audience). We should also look into other alternatives before deciding however.

[Lubuntu-desktop] [Poll] Community Wallpapers
Hello people, I believe I've never introduced myself to this mailing list so I'll do it quick. My name is Alexander Andjelkovic [1] and I'm very interested in artwork and design. My current task is to manage a poll which will help us select community wallpapers for Lubuntu. The poll is made out of contributions submitted to our Flickr group [2] and the top six most popular wallpapers will be added to the Lubuntu artwork package. We have a problem with the current tool for polling however, users can only vote on one alternative. Keep this in mind when you vote, as you might want to vote on a less popular wallpaper to make it more popular. I know it's pretty dull, but we'll solve it for the next time we do a poll like this. The poll is located here: http://vote.statsr.net/vote/140/lubuntu-11-10-community-wallpapers/ The poll is public and you do not need to register anywhere to be able to vote. It will be up and running for approximatly two weeks. Hopefully the mailing list will be enough to get peoples voices heard, but maybe someone with rights could add the poll in the IRC topic?
