[Lubuntu-desktop] [Fwd: Re: Colourchange?]
Hi all Lubuntu geeks or whatever :-) So its sound like we are so close with the release of Lubuntu. Green is nice and for the one that took time to make the green logo thank you... I like to have a different colour... because kubuntu is blue, ubuntu is brown xubuntu is grey,wattos (ubuntu derived and using lxde) is green just like opensuse. I like to see purple with a combination with black or grey... I not a really a purple lover I am more of green or blue but... I what to see something different with a own status of colour and with the the logo of ubuntu as sign where we come from So guys what do you think of purple with black, grey maybe metalic, ofcourse its sound heavy but its still runs light...

I mea, it is possible to make sth look good with green, but i think it would be really dissicult to match it to lubuntu - a very narrow selection of green shades is aesthetical for such use, and it matches poorly with other colours. I think that even red or purple would do better, but that's my personal opinion. maybe gray variations would be nice too, or maybe we could mix many colours, instead of keeping everyting in one? mixture of blue, dark green, with white, gray and black accents. what do you think? I just don't really think it looks good in just green. but decision is up to whole community ;) 2010/2/17 jo franz jo.ge.s...@googlemail.com mailto:jo.ge.s...@googlemail.com: look, we didnt even agree on the logo in the artwork team.

The Kubuntu logo is blue, also the one from Xubuntu - why shouldn't we try something new? Lubuntu will be a standalone Distribution - we don't have to take the same colours as the other official ubuntu-derivates. The colour green would fit nicely with the idea of lxde using less resources, how jekopsch, the one who had this idea, said.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Hello again Its working very nice..and for the nm-applet much better that wicd. I ditch the chromium browser because its no my flavor in my opinion. I have only one small problem with my wireless broadband. I use huawei e220. its Doesn't detected in nm-applet but in lsusb it is detected. In the first alpha stage it was working with NM-applet with the latest kernel upgrade. Tonight I will try again using PPP or wvdial. Somebody talk about games.. where is the tread?? :-D I really need 2 games that is really working on my netbook :-D Gdebi installer would be nice or something like that in Lubuntu?? And does Gdebi really help for people that has no internet. Because in Indonesia not everybody can affort internet connection. And even if they have it,it will be cellphone using as modems. It would be nice if there is something like that for updating packages or what-ever to install/update without internet in deb packages. thanks Josef A. Beroeatwarin...

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Tested on MSI Wind U100
To repond to the Gui interface for server. I work daily as administrator, I have Ubuntu as internet/firewall server. I think its easier with gui interface like LXDE. Because if I do it in console I have to go to the forum again to get the instruction for the setup and all that stuff and ofcourse I always forget something like installing DHCP-server, maskirq something package in the apt. And I see alot of people with the same profession has the same problems.And there is allot of server with sort kind gui interface like PF-sense but its webbased its very good.As David said it the early mail to have soho server on a netbook. I had a situation where I needed a laptop to replace the email server. And its amaze me again how powerfull linux can be but the time to build up and finding other info costed me time. But in my opinion it will be nice to have LXDE on server edition with some programs and tutorials and sample to help out the daily problem. Even an average administrators with good scenarios doesnt always work out the problems in my cases specially newbies. A server on a flashdisk will be nice in critical situation. Just plug in start the pc and take over the network. In a flash I remember article about Media Entertainment Server Geexbox... A server, you can listen to the music and watch tv channels like MythTv and if you have a tv tuner it will be great.. If I am correct you can do even videostreaming thru wirelles to other pc's at home... I guess its possible to install LXDE on the server so if you acces your server you will get LXDE on your pc or other gadget and do something with your files,printing or whatever its is just like in a Unix terminals in the 80's and 90's.Ltsp, David you talked about that I guess its something to do with it... Thanks for reading, Josef Dallas Wiebelhaus wrote: I agree with David. Also anyone who is performing these highly specialized installations is certainly going to have the knowledge required to open the command line and sudo apt-get whatever gui or lack thereof he/she wants. n Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 1:26 PM, David Sugar david.su...@canonical.com mailto:david.su...@canonical.com wrote: I actually was not suggesting there should be such a remix. I was suggesting however that one could potentially do this with mini-iso install by selecting them explicitly at install time if we have lxde desktop as a task in mini-iso. And yes, one could do a server install and add lxde/lubuntu after. It can in some cases be useful to have a local server gui console. Another interesting scenario is ltsp. Mikhail Maksimov wrote: Hello. Just one thing I wanted to note: server GUI is a bad idea. If you want server, you install server, if you want a workstation on low-grade hardware, you install Lubuntu. If you have low-grade hardware to use as a server, you definitely shouldn't be wasting the precious (and, oh, so limited!) RAM and CPU resources on GUI instead of serving something. If someone wants to have lubuntu desktop on server, there's always an option of installing server then adding any desktop environment, or maybe installing Lubuntu then switching to the server kernel. But I think all the possible mix options should not be part of Lubuntu installer, nor should there be a separate server+LXDE remix of Lubuntu (Ubuntu?) Regards! Mikhail PS If you don't like vi, you can use nano, it's part of the server install and it is WYSIWIG. On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 9:44 AM, Josef A.

Hi again, * So filemanager will be rewritten well its great. *About the FN keys. I tested in ubuntu's Karmic koala with the FN+F12 sleep mode.. I had no problem with that... only the funny thing was I realize the backlight was not flickering in LXDE like G-NOME. *About Wicd I made a bug report. The status is Affects: wicd Importance: Undecided Status: New https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/495319 *About server with GUI ofcourse different opinion is for me no problem :-) In fact I believe differ ence make people closer and get better point of the situation.. * About the mixer yes keep it only on the imporant channels like main channel. * SD card on HDA, I read about it on the launchpad, blueprint the link was sended by David. Its ok but It possible that more of the SD card on hda will come out maybe with the ARM processors to get cheaper netbook. Its a big job and I have no capacity to join and fixing the problem... I learn Java and C but I left it behind because i am more a player than a creator... So 2 thumbs up the programmers that will fix it. Thanks.

It's more a bug on wicd than on Lubuntu itself. You should report a bug on the package. * I have no sound I realize I have no mixer something like that so I dont know if its muting or not. Lubuntu will have a volume applet by default, to be able to change your sound more easily. I don't think we need a real mixer (with all channels configuration), most of people just want to manage the main channel. * FN keys.

Ofcourse everybody is busy. Next week for an alpha 1, if I manage to build one correctly :) 2. Lubuntu on flash disk image because there is alot of netbooks without CD or DVD. If you have an iso, you can create an img for flash disk. I'll do it if I'm not too lazy :) 3. Sometimes I got netbook that has an SDcard as HDA is it compatible with it ? Sure, but as David said, maybe not optimized yet. 4. I think Lubuntu will be great for creating server from old PC's with GUI interface instead having console at from your nose and doing that Vi thing.Maybe is there somebody can make a server edition.

And nice front-end for backup that can make image of the drives. 6.
