[Lubuntu-desktop] lubuntu desktop image?

Hi all, There has been lots of emails about what packages to include in the new LUbuntu distribution. Seems like the list is somewhat final. I would like to install it and test the current version. I could not find any iso image available. Could you please guide me what to do? As a temporary solu

Hi, I have a 10 year old Dell Latitude CPt (celeron 333, 512MB RAM). It's been sitting in the closet for the past 4-5 years. Couldn't install Lubuntu on it, neither could I run it from CD. Not sure what is the problem. During install I saw several messages like: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, log

A presentation (ppt) viewer would be also nice next to ePDFViewer pdf viewer. For example most college (or other) courses and presentation material is often in ppt. A simple view->print functionality would be useful. I found pptview, but has lots of dependencies, so somebody with more experience pl

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 "Preview 2"

Experience with Alpha2 release: 1. If there is an internet connection during install it installs OpenOffice by default. If you don't want OO, just disable your internet connection, it worked for me... this is just a temporary solution (I hope :) 2. Still can't change keyboard layout (no option in

Based on browser market share and popularity, other than IE and Safari, Firefox and Chrome are the winners. So I would suggest to keep one of these two and do not try to pick an exotic one, which is used by a very limited number of people. Firefox is mature and stable, would be my primary option f

[Lubuntu-desktop] lubuntu-base

Hi everybody, I would like to ask for your help. I'm a ubuntu user for some time but not very experienced in customization and scripting. My answer would be: how to remove all apps from a default lubuntu-desktop installation (let's say from alpha2) and leave the core components intact? I know this

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 "Preview 2"

Yesterday I noticed one more thing in alpha2. In time and date settings there is an option to synchronize time with internet server(s). But this option is greyed out, since ntp is not installed. Installing just one package - ntp - solved the problem. Since it's not a big addition, could this be add

Hi, Sorry to disturb the lubuntu mailing list with such a question, but since lubuntu is using chromium officially, this might be a relevant topic here, too. I noticed that in lucid, sun-java6 was removed, only openjdk is in the repos. Can anybody point me to any information about how to enable/co
