Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fw: Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin
Yes it will affect Pentium II. Do we have options of compiling the kernel within lubuntu to continue support. 2011/11/18 神癒礁湖 (Rafael Laguna) rafaellag...@gmail.com But there're Lubuntu users on Pentium II and similar machines. In fact they're happy an OS can handle those trashy computers and make them useable. Will this affect those users? http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/ http://www.lubuntu.net/ 2011/11/18 Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com I forgot to forward this mail from ubuntu-devel, it may have an impact on Lubuntu since we shared the same kernel. Regards, Julien Lavergne Begin forwarded message: Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:43:28 -0700 From: Tim Gardner tim.gard...@canonical.com To: Ubuntu Kernel Team kernel-t...@lists.ubuntu.com, ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: Dropping i386 non-PAE as a supported kernel flavour in Precise Pangolin Per discussion at UDS the kernel team is proposing to drop the non-PAE i386 flavour. The upgrade path for non-PAE users will be the PAE kernel. Those CPUs that do not have i686 and PAE support will be orphaned. To the best of my knowledge, these include Intel CPUs prior to Pentium II, 400Mhz Pentium M, VIA C3, and Geode LX. As far as I know, there are no laptop or desktop class CPUs being produced that do not meet these minimum requirements. Before I do something that is difficult to revert, I would like to hear from the development community why we should continue to maintain a kernel flavour that is (in my opinion) getting increasingly low utilization. It is my feeling that an extremely high percentage of users of the non-PAE kernel have a CPU that is PAE capable. If there is sufficient community demand (and support), I would be willing to sponsor the first non-PAE kernel upload to Universe. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/PreciseKernelConfigReview We'll be conducting a similar survey for powerpc. rtg P.S. For those of you that are totally confused by this email, PAE (Physical Address Extension) was an addition to 32 bit x86 CPUs that allowed them to address more then 4GB physical memory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension -- Tim Gardner tim.gard...@canonical.com -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel -- Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com ___ 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 ___ 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 -- God Bless ___ 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

Finally, Lubuntu is out of the Ubuntu factory :) [2] For people who don't know Lubuntu, this is a quick presentation. Lubuntu is a distribution based on Ubuntu, and the LXDE desktop environnement. The main goal is to provide a very lightweight distribution, but with all the advantages of the Ubuntu world (repositories, support ...). Currently we are using : - Chromium for the browser - Openbox for the windows manager - Pcmanfm for the file manager - Abiword + Gnumeric for office work - Pidgin for IM - Audacious for playing music - Gnome-mplayer for videos - Some GNOME components : evince, file-roller, gnome-keyring - Most of the LXDE components You can find the complete list of applications by default on the wiki [3]. After 2 years of work, and 3 unofficial releases (10.04, 10.10 and 11.04), we had recently an official go from the Technical Board and ISO images are now made like other Ubuntu flavors. I hope the 11.10 will be the 1st official release of Lubuntu as a member of the Ubuntu family :) We have 2 important particularities. Like Xubuntu, we use another GTK-based desktop environnement than GNOME, and we try to avoid unnecessary GNOME depends which could slow the system. We need some GNOME parts because LXDE doesn't provide all necessary components. It's the reason why we are very careful about dependencies of those applications. We are also very strict with ressources requirement. It's the reason why we don't include all Ubuntu specific applications. For example, we don't include Software-Center because it's still a bit heavy for some of our targets. I would like to thanks all people who make this happen, especially Mark, Colin and Emmet, and all people involved in the development of Lubuntu and LXDE. If you want to talk to the Lubuntu community, you can use our mailing list (lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.nethttp://mc/compose?to=lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net) or IRC : #lubuntu on Freenode. You can also find information on our wiki [3]. Thanks for your attention :) Regards, Julien Lavergne [1] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/ [2] It's still young images, which for now, are oversized, don't load the desktop session, and have wrong splash images .. they should be better in the futur :) [3] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications [4] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.nethttp://mc/compose?to=lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ 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 is the iso going to stay at 800gb or is it going back down to 600 please ___ 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 -- God Bless ___ 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

As I understood, the Lubuntu session will not be too much developers oriented, more a first description for the Ubuntu world :) BTW we should check what we officially are... a Ubuntu variant, or flavour or ... whatever it is... and then use that term consistently. I think flavour is the official term, but I'm not sure the term is used consistently, even for the others (Xubuntu, Kubuntu etc ...) I'd tend to skip the history -- users and potential developers are likely to care more about what Lubuntu can do for them *now* and what it *will* do in the future, than about the past. +1 Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ 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 -- God Bless ___ 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] Some new apps
I'm not really satisfied with the applications which comes with lubuntu, Good thing there is a repository with hundreds of apps to choose from to get a system to your liking. Lubuntu is meant to be light on resources so having heavy applications installed on default defeats that purpose. As far as adding your app to lubuntuwell that will fall on the developers decision!

The A1 is still built the 'old way' and is, afaik, just a toe stretching session for the new kernel to be included. There has been some work the apps done, along with deciding which applications we include by default. Pcman has a new pcmanfm out in the wild for us to break. Hooks for apport are on the TODO list and are being added, but the 1,000 dedicated developers we have . err, well, I may have over estimated by 998 are awaiting getting their teeth into the 'official' iso building system. This should be done for a2. The general page for 11.10 is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers Progress on the apport hooks can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/TODO If you, or any of the testers on the main area would like to keep abreast of what Lubuntu is up to, please doe feel free to add the mailing list to your cluttered boxes (We don't send that many out!) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved has the one click link to get the lubuntu discussions. Please give my regards to Ranch Hand, I must pop on and find out what better name he has for 11.10 - I will make a point of letting the testing area know when A2 comes out, but the a1 had little in the way of changes. Apart from anything else, it will be nice to 'touch base' with all you great people again. For A2, I will try to get a set of notes together so you good people know where Lubuntu is headed for 11.10, as it is the precursor for 12.04 (LTS) we need to get as many bugs ironed out as possible during the 11.10 cycle (errr, you may recall Grub2 coming out in 9.10 :P ). Lubuntu is also now popping it's toe into the water for accessibility, but realistically this is a couple of cycles away - we simply do not have enough devs. Accessibility could do themselves a favour, but we do have a meeting coming up under Jono Bacon to allow us to ask questions. It is times like this I miss Ranch Hand's 'say it as it is' attitude, although JM one of our devs is no shrinking violet. I'm sure he and Ranch Hand would get on great :P My kindest regards to you and the rest of the testers, Phill.

Anyway I obtained the Lubuntu Oneiric Alpha1 image here: http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/ And naturally I encountered a few minor bugs. To expect any less this early in a dev cycle is insane, but I still felt they should be reported. The specific bugs are: 1) The Lubuntu Alpha1 Live CD boots to a tty, so you have to type *startx*to get the DE. 2) The default DE lacks restart or shutdown

The dark blue top can be made half it's height (better put, the height of the font), so that would make it a bit lower. But that's just marginally smaller. About the logo's I can be short: they are attachments and not links to online images and I didn't upload images to those attachments.

That should take care of the wiki team tracking changes others make. Personally, if I find something I think needs changing in a wiki, I'm fairly likely to 'just do it' rather than seek out someone else to make the edit for me, unless I am unsure about what the right content should be. Wiki's are all about empowering everyone to make changes as needed to improve things :) Just doing it is a great way to get everything down, sometimes the formatting can be a pain in the backside to keep it up to standard though (from Ubuntu's perspective). So I'd always encourage anyone and everyone to add information to the wiki pages as they find them either wrong or not complete. If you aren't sure and are doing more than a little edit by all means just drop by the IRC channel or mailing list and ask someone to peruse it for you. We're more than happy to help with all the trimmings, just having someone willing to do the content more than makes our job easy (I do try to keep an eye to the edits as they come through on the subscribed pages as well though but it doesn't hurt to double check and if there are a lot it takes a while to go through them all).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Audio players - some thoughts RFC
@Andres, he is not trying to be a jerk or anything but as with any type of development there is a process.

If you try and change up apps in the middle of development than you must start this entire process over with.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Panel bug
WARNING: If i am correct in the discovery of this bug it will make your panel disappear and force you to hard kill your system (unless you have Hot Keys setup to get to a terminal without panel!) So i think i have found a bug and here are the steps to reproduce: 1. Right click on panel and select, Add/Remove Panel Items 2. Select the, Panel Applets tab 3. Click on the double window iconfiy icon in bottom left corner of screen next to virtual desktops Again i state if i am correct in this than your panel should disappear and you will have to reboot system to get it back. I tried using Task Manager to get panel back but was unsuccessful. I did this in a installed environment, NOT in virtual box so i suggest maybe trying in virtual box if lubuntu is your only OS installed on system. -- God Bless ___ 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 v. LXDE
1. The primary difference between ANY distro is the package selection and desktop environment and yes that is where the primary difference between lubuntu and ubuntu resides. 2. Yes you can install any environment( *box) you like. 3. I have never looked at the contents of the metapackage/core packages you were asking about so i would assume you would have to dig further for that information. Lubuntu aims to use a tremendously less amount of resources while still retaining stability and energy saving. So to say it is just package differences is a bit underestimating the abilities of the distro.
