Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Mplayer and SMplayer problems
2009/9/16 Glen Bizeau gbiz...@gmail.com What about VLC? On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 6:49 PM, Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com wrote: Hi, Please note that I don't want to discuss all the applications of the seed, but show some problems with the choice for the video player. There is currently 2 problems : - SMplayer brings unnecessary depends on QT packages (near 20 Mb). If it's only to bring a better GUI for Mplayer, there is gnome-mplayer which should achieve this goal. If nobody complain, I'll replace smplayer by gnome-player in the seed. - Mplayer depends on problematic packages (like LAME which have patents issues). It means that Mplayer can't be shipped on a ISO, because it's illegal in some countries. The ideal solution is to find a small GTK+ video player, with Gstreamer support, which allow installing problematic packages after the initial installation. Unfortunately, I can't find any :( A temporary solution is to put mplayer to recommends packages, instead of a depends. In this case, lubuntu-desktop could be installed without mplayer. I plan to move mplayer to recommends if no better solution is found.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] a suggestion
2009/11/15 mehageg meha...@nana.co.il as lubuntu is a fast-lightweight version of ubuntu, maybe it's time to consider using arora http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/arora instead of firefox as the main web-browser. from my personal experience, arora fits very well as my main browser, it supports the main state-of-the art technologies (javascript+ajax, flash, java applets etc), has the main features you find in firefox (ad-block, live-http, privacy mode, tabbed surfing, smart bar). in the bottom line, it's just as great as firefox, just much faster and slimmer. matches perfectly the lubuntu/lxde way, as I see it. ___ 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 Why not consider google-chrome?

sory I send the message to wrong adress earlier 2009/11/16 Sylkis syl...@gmail.com 2009/11/16 Zsolt Peter Basak shiki.biomer...@gmail.com Hello! Chrome is fast, but its not that lightweight. Check its memory usage. The Chrome/Chromium without Google features is called SRware Iron and anyone can download the binary of that app or the source code. Here you can find more information about SRWare Iron. (A german person makes it, as far as I know. I'm using it since the first version and I'm really satisfied with it). Even the beta... no crash at all. And there is an AdBlock for the beta, and the beta also handles flash better than the 'stable' version does.

I mean it looks like some great candidate for lubuntu, but as it would become part of ubuntu it needs some kind of repo or sth, as ubuntu is meant 'for humans' (that mostly do not fancy compiling :) )... personally I find arora and midori a bit uncomfortable, but maybe it's just me being used to big things like netscape, then firefox, and then google-chrome. ___ 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] Feedback new testing ISO 20100215
2010/2/15 Leszek Lesner leszek.les...@web.de: Hi, this version looks very promising. Nm-applet is working fine. The LXDesign Theme is really a very cool clearlooks theme. Very good work ! Chromium is running its first run wizard if clicked. Perhaps we should ship a preconfigured version with bookmarks and set it as default browser (its telling me that it isn't yet). Hmm... acpi=off in the livecd boot parameters ? I guess a temporary fix due to hal removal isn't it ? The next thing I noticed. There is currently no visible gnome-power-manager icon in the systray of the panel (as it is started automatically but I don't see any icon but can click on it I guess it is a panel problem). Next thing gpicview should it be in the panel menu under graphics ? (somehow the graphics submenu seems strange containing only 1 app) My XFMultimedia Keys for Volume up/down mute is not working (eeePC 701). xfce4-volumed should fix this or setting the keys in the openbox config and creating a script that does volume up/down and mute (if you don't want to have the fency notify-osd) The last thing that we might include (only a suggestion) is a tweaked /etc/sysctl.conf for Netbooks: # Delay real write to disk vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500 is crucial for this. Making the system visually faster. Here a suggestion (also for all testers) set the panel size to 24 and the icon size to 22. This way the panel here (on eeePC 701) looks much better.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
1) a lot of people hide it away, or even disable, when using windows, as most people dont need it and it causes problems, when the lng gets switched (in poland it used to be very common quite a few years ago, that Y and Z were switching because of some key shortcut that was unnknown to most users) - i think that feature is good only for truly biligual people (like people living in foreign country), and there are relatively few of them 2) stationary PC's don't have batteries, and this is supposed to be for old computers in the first place, not netbooks... 12) the games issue has been started today in another thread :) 2010/2/17 Mike Nokel mno...@gmail.com: Hi. I have found some time to install it on my computer. In general, everything looks and works perfectly. However, there are some problems: 1) by default, there is no keyboard layout controller on the panel. I think, that it should be there. A lot of people uses it in everyday's life. 2) as for battery monitor on the panel: it should be visible by default. This empty space looks really strange. 3) there is still pcmanfm 0.5.2, not pcmanfm2( 4) you have included osmo as a default program. My friends and me haven't heard about this program before. And in everyday life may be it is not so necessary to be included, I think. 5) without installing packages xscreensaver-gl, xscreensaver-gl-extra, xscreensaver-data-extra I see a lot of error messages telling me that there is no directory /usr/share/backgrounds. It is annoying. 6) when I launch lxterminal, appeared the window without any string like this: ubu...@ubuntu:~/. But when you hit any key on the keyboard it appears unexpectably. 7) some buttons such as OK, Cancel just don't work (only hitting Close Window helped me to close the windows). It is so when you are configuring panel for example. 8) you have used LXDM as a login manager. It is perfect, but it has serious problems: - when I enable autologin on it, I just can't switch my keyboard layout by hitting on the applet on the panel. Only typing sudo lxpanelctl restart helped me. - there is no gui-program to configure LXDM yet. For a lot of people it will be hard to understand what do if they want enable autologin or so on. - using LXDM I can't modify PATH variable (even modifying file /etc/profile), so I can't play any games using menu (Menu-Games-...). It won't work. 9) sound card by default doesn't work. So, I have gone to alsa-project.org, downloaded the latest driver, lib and utils, installed it. Run sudo alsaconf and after reboot I heart the sound. 10) I've got ati radeon 4670 video, but when I tried to install xorg-driver-fglrx, it tells me that he wants to remove xorg with all its dependencies. Strange behaviour. So, I have only poor 3D now( 11) I've tried to install fskbsetting. But when launching it gives me segmentation fault. I don't know why. 12) May be there should be some games, at least some gnome-games? So, this is my first experience.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Colourchange?

Lubuntu needs less ressources than other distributions. lxde is leightweight, and i dont know, but i associate that with green. like a flower or a tree that can grow on a little piece of earth with some water and some light not needing much more, lubuntu will be usable on (almost) every hardware. 2010/2/18 Sylkis syl...@gmail.com what does green have to filosophy of either ubuntu or LXDE? and why purple doesn't? but I even like the screenshots, even though it resembles openSUSE, which associates me badly. the green used there is not so dirty as I was almost sure it would be, and problably it is why I have ben so plesantly suprised :) but still i'd use a darker and more pure colour for titlebar of second screen. 2010/2/18 jo franz jo.ge.s...@googlemail.com hm, ok, purple is a trendcolour. thats right, its in (even if some magazines say that grey is the new purple), but it will become out again. maybe one year, maybe three, but same as neon-colours: totally cool now (and in the 80ies), but forgotten and ugly in some years. Our logo (and thats were i want the colourchange, even if the ubuntu logo is yellow and orange and brown, many parts of the standard theme are grey) should have a colour thats always ok, like a evergreen . purple has nothing to do with the philosophy of lxde or lubuntu. green has. i changed your screenshot to green (just for comparison) and made some on my own. i made the files brown, a purple/blue/green wallpaper and logo doesn't meen that every little symbol has to have that colour. best regards, jo. 2010/2/18 Sylkis syl...@gmail.com I didn't say it's pink. but it's more of a tone of pinkish varieties of violet ;) and I just know how many people would react depite it looks good 2010/2/18 Jonay Santana jonay.sant...@gmail.com Looks nice to me.

Please, check the theme wiki and see the options. I've made a few wallpapers for matching the blue colours. And I must be clear, I've received from Canonical the colour specifications about usage, logos, trademarks and Pantone™ references. That's why Xubuntu and Kubuntu (and official derivatives, as we want to be) are blue. Anyway, look at this shot: Is the purple / pink background with dark panel. As you can see there're a lot of combinations, but remaining theme specs.

Maybe we also could add a little puzzle-game and something like Space Invaders, but we have to remember that there's not that much free space left. We now have to choose some good games with no or just some dependencies that run fast on old hardware. Do you have any ideas?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] new visual identity in lucid
I hope not, as I personally find this new look kinda ugly and changed forcefuly in aspects that could be left alone... 2010/3/4 Zoltan Matlak matlakz...@gmail.com: I just red on slashdot today: Canonical has launched a new visual identity for the Ubuntu Linux distribution. Ubuntu is shedding its previous brown look and adopting a more professional color scheme with purple and orange. The colors will be used in a new GNOME theme and boot splash for Ubuntu 10.04. According to updated design documents that were published in the Ubuntu wiki, 'light' is the underlying concept behind the new visual identity. It displaces the 'human' concept that has been part of Ubuntu's theming and brand vernacular for the past five years. Ubuntu community manager Jono Bacon has posted a screenshot and additional information. Question: is it a goal to have all *buntu variants use the same character set or to have common/similar look? Just wondering if the lubuntu splash and other logos have to be changed? (saw the xubuntu as sample on the site that's why I raised the question) Thanks Zoltan ___ 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
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Replacing Aqualung with Exaile [DISCUSSION]
it's a music PLAYER. NOT a BROWSER/ORGANISER with addition of player, like amarok, exaile, songbird, itunes and other such. infact, it's very, VERY similar to foobar on windows - so then it doesn't have any bloating trash-features like some libaries and such IMO worthless unnessesary stuff. And I hope it will be so for ever, now it is IMO nearly perfect (it lacks only support for other playlists formats and MAYBE a scrobbler, which also is unncessesary I guess). 2010/5/17 Naveen Kumar Molleti nerd.nav...@gmail.com: Hi, I tried using DeaDBeeF, and I don't seem to find a music library option.

[Lubuntu-desktop] first impression about lubuntu from lubuntu.net iso and it's netbook mode
Hi, Today I have downloaded the iso from lubuntu.net, that is the one supposed to be used by ordinary users, I suppose. Generally it makes great impression (however it has to be personalised in my opinion to become fully useable, but I guess that can be said about any operating system) and have some suggestions about netbook desktop of lubuntu. I really love it, it works basically in the same way as UNR, but it's lightweight of course :) but it has few drawbacks. First of all - I couldn't find anywhere how to personalise it. I mean from the menus, what can I find in them, to the way how it looks like. No wallpaper, no changes in colour scheme, etc - and it surely WILL scare away new users from this mode. I know that making it transparent menu (the bottom panel can do that, right? so I guess it should not be a big problem to do the same thing here?) or wallpaper-able in any other way and customizeable in terms of colours, etc would make it a bit heavier, but still I think it's really worth it. Now it looks potentially unattractive for random ordinary user, especially for newbies, as the only thing that is great about it is usefullness and convienience. But in today's world of eye-candied Ubuntu-Unity, macOSX and windows7 it's not enough, as it lacks really basic features, that non-netbook lubuntu desktop DOES offer. I'm not saying that it should become something like that heavy animated openGL netbook-launcher thing, but I believe most people would prefer to look at some favourite photo (or sth) rather than on plain light blue screen. OR if there is a way how to customize the looks of the netbook menu, you should make it easily accesible, cause I couldn't find it, and if I didn't - then I bet no newbie would either. Another thing that I think would be nice is that the top panel of the netbook desktop menu would be somehow always on top, I mean never covered with windows, and clicking on it while some window is maximized would minimize everything and let user jump to desktop same as one icon in the bottom panel does (and that one would be unnessesary then). BUT - as I have mentioned, there IS an icon in panel that makes user jump to naked desktop menu anyways, so that change is just an idea that is unlikely to do, as it's not needed. I guess i't somehow because I'm use tod UNR, there clicking on the left side of the panel worked like that. Oh, and non-netbook-menu matter; it would be GREAT if the standard black LXDE background of the bottom panel would be included. It looked just great, i don't understand why was it changed for such ugly gray one, but well - that's a matter of taste, and the general artwork looks really fine, so I guess it was part of a larger concept. Still, while customising I wanted to change the colour of the panel and found no alternative graphic, only the deafult gray one, or the possibility of plain and/or transparent colours. I belive such graphic weigths just a few KB, so wy not give people choice? And last but not least, I didn't see deadbeef in defaultly installed apps, there was still aqualung in there. Is it still supposed to be like that? and will the bottom panel be moved to top, and [minimise]/[maximise]/[close] buttons moved to the left corner of window, like in new ubuntu? I'm just curious about consistence of general ubuntu idea and the if that the iso from lubuntu.net is and up-to-date one, or shall I download newer one from somewhere else? Phew... I think that's all for now, I'm getting back to lubuntu as my main system of everyday use, after quite a long break. If I come up with anything, I'll let you know for sure.
