Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Scanning and printing graphics, how?

install xsane from the repo and you will get it, you may have to setup drivers etc, similarly you can install gwenview or eog and view / print images. gwenview is the choice in fluxbuntu. HTH On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 8:41 PM, Steve wrote: > > > Unless I’m missing something there appears to be no

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Nice comment. Let's make sure that we don't make the same mistakes.

Its only looks though. Like gaps in icons. I'd rather the devs concentrate on getting things working than minor graphical "issues" like this. I actually commented on the post to this effect. On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 4:22 PM, Phill Whiteside wrote: > Indeed, PCMan, if you get a chance, take a look

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] restricted-extras

As Lubuntu uses gstreamer like Ubuntu just use ubuntu-resricted-extras. kde uses something different so has its own thing, i believe xubuntu-restricted extras is the same as ubuntu-restricted-extras. Just need to copy the package and rename t on the repo afaics ;) Just my 2p worth -Andy On Mon, M

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Intersting Article

I don't contest the results but can someone explain how a lighter DE uses less power? Is it because the CPU is used less so takes less juice? Nice article though. KDE is really bloated and the Kubuntu team is quite small. -Andy On Tue, Mar 9, 2010 at 1:40 PM, Glen Bizeau wrote: > I especially l

You can install the 64bit minimal system or u-lite then install the lubuntu-desktop metapackage. It will then be 64bit On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 7:18 PM, Julien Lavergne wrote: > Le mardi 02 mars 2010 à 08:22 +0100, M. Daub a écrit : > > I don't know anything about packaging, so please could anyone

What about Kazehakase which is a stripped down Firefox. Firefox is a crappy browser once you try other stuff. The only thing I have seen people sa yits great about is plugins which other browsers are now ok with. You failed to mention Arora which is webkit based and fully supports scipts and ajax
