Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] plymouth
Well, I had my little rant about this and I've gotten it out of my system. :-) I had heard lots of people on the forums saying it was difficult to remove, and that the best thing was to just turn off splash. Looking at what would be removed along with removal of Plymouth tended to support the idea that virtually everything depended on it. It isn't a huge deal, I guess, but doesn't make a good first impression when I show my system to friends. I'll try the vga= trick. Thanks.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] UI in French?
Sounds good. However, the image that is sent to the USB key is the current Lubuntu ISO, while I need to remove most of the items in the Menu, add a couple of applications, so I guess this is not what I need, and I should look at remastering the ISO from the customized, running USB key. I'm quite a bit over my head here, compared to the others, but if you're running on a read/write USB device, why can't you add and remove packages like you normally would on any other disk?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Incorrect password when using Synaptic Package Manager
Hi Hung,
Have you tried it from your normal user account, rather than root?
Just select Synaptic from the {references menu, and use your normal
*user* password, not the root password. The first user created during
install has privileges to use the sudo/gksudo commands, and the
default is for there to be no root account password at all.
Hope this helps,
Bob

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Maverick Alpha 3
Hi Julien, == Testing needed == We'll appreciate some feedbacks about the followings recent additions : - The slideshow, especially the text, to be able to start translation. I made notes quickly as the (very attractive) slideshow went by. Here are the things I noticed. Remember, I don't speak English; I'm an American. :-) - Speaking of Chromium, the word developed is mis-spelled, with two ps. - The phrase more informations showed up. The word information is always singular. Some information. Lots of information. Many pieces of information. Etc. :) - The phrase fast videos player showed up. The video here should be singular in this case. The program is fast at playing videos, which makes it a fast video player. - Inconsistent use of periods at the end of sentences. Some pages have them, others don't. Looking at a regular Ubuntu install, they use the periods always. Hope this helps. If I could look at the text while it's not moving past, I could maybe do a better job. Where does one find the text of the slideshow? And if there is any other text which you'd like proofed, let me know. American English is one crazy language.

I'll try purging VLC and see what happens. At the moment, I have 2.6.35-2-generic installed, and Synaptic lists this kernel as Local or Obsolete but doesn't offer me the newer kernels with either an upgrade or a dist-upgrade.

In fact, if it's of any interest, here's the log of the update during which it removed VLC: Commit Log for Thu Jun 17 08:38:55 2010 Removed the following packages: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse libavformat52 libmjpegtools-1.9 libpostproc51 libquicktime1 libswscale0 mozilla-plugin-vlc vlc vlc-nox Upgraded the following packages: gtk2-engines-pixbuf (2.21.2-0ubuntu2) to 2.21.2-0ubuntu3 libavcodec-extra-52 (4:0.6~svn20100505-1ubuntu5) to 4:0.6-1ubuntu1 libavutil-extra-50 (4:0.6~svn20100505-1ubuntu5) to 4:0.6-1ubuntu1 libgail18 (2.21.2-0ubuntu2) to 2.21.2-0ubuntu3 libgtk2.0-0 (2.21.2-0ubuntu2) to 2.21.2-0ubuntu3 libgtk2.0-bin (2.21.2-0ubuntu2) to 2.21.2-0ubuntu3 libgtk2.0-common (2.21.2-0ubuntu2) to 2.21.2-0ubuntu3 libsane (1.0.20-13ubuntu2) to 1.0.21-2ubuntu1 Installed the following packages: libva1 (1.0.1-3) libvpx0 (0.9.0-6) Thanks again!

I have all the latest updates, unless I should have proposed enabled. There won’t be anything in the proposed repository untill Maverick is released. Just to be clear, your suggestion would be to start over with a clean installation of the alpha-1 Lubuntu? No, what I suggest is that you remove the 2.6.35-4 and 2.6.35-3 kernel-images then do an upgrade or maybe a dist-upgrade. Sorry to be a nuisance about this. Just trying to help out. :) Regards, Bob Bob, not sure if this helps, but from my experience with (Kubuntu) alphas, some packages are disabled upon installation. This is probably due to clash of dependencies. After installation, reinstallation of the said packages *might* proceed and encounter no other problem. However, in most cases the reinstalled media player will not play smoothly. In my case, Kaffeine will 'play nice' only at final release, not even at beta stages. So, in your case, it might help if you remove, preferably purge vlc and see if the new kernels are booted okay. Then reinstall vlc and see if that works. Again, there is this usual warning that pre-final releases are not meant for 'production', likely to break and is mainly for people to help debug and report issues. Also, I am treating Lubuntu in its original intent, namely, as a lean and mean system, so I did not install other 'weighty' packages to it. I have also found another pleasant unintended use of Lubuntu on the usb stick. With gparted and testdisk installed, it makes a much better alternative to troubleshooting and repairing systems than carrying cd's of grub-rescue, gparted, livecd and so on. Impressive...

Hi Phill, Sorry this took so long! I'm happy to report that doing the install with the 64-bit Mini CD worked just fine. I haven't had time to try everything, of course, but I've found zero problems so far. Just one note on the install instruction; one step is to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. When I did this, it told me there were zero packages to install. Perhaps that step could be removed, or perhaps it's needed only sometimes. Anyway, looking good so far for 64-bit.

The apt-get dist-upgrade could well be a bit of over-kill, but I'd rather it spend a few moments working out all is well in the world than miss it out and find out it is needed in certain circumstances :-) Hi Phill, My only concern about the dist-upgrade is that, well, somebody might not *want* to do a distribution upgrade. :-) They might inadvertently do one because they think this one command is essential. Or maybe I just misunderstand the command myself? I'm thinking that someone might be building their system based on 10.04, and 10.10 might be lurking and ready to pounce on them if they issue this command? Just thinking out loud. ;-) Yes, it's a lovely distro! I never boot anything else now. I'm sure I'm going to remove Ubuntu Gnome from my system, as it just sits there now taking up space. I really never go into it for anything. Lubuntu, with a bit of idiosyncratic massaging on my part, is exactly what I've been looking for.

[Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
If I were to use the Ubuntu 64-bit Alternate CD, do just a command line install, and then pull in the lubuntu-desktop package, would I have a workable 64-bit Lubuntu? It will be a few days before my AMD system is up and running again, so I can't test this at the moment. A related question would be if there is an official 64-bit version planned? All other *buntu versions have both 32- and 64-bit options, so I would guess that would be an expectation of Canonical's for inclusion?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
Hi Phill, I'll be happy to just as soon as I get the 64-bit machine running again. :) I hope that's within a week or so.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu application discussion for maverick
VLC is all I ever use. Choice is good, and with Lubuntu we seem to have lots of choices. I removed Abiword, Gnumeric, Chromium, Sylpheed, added Google Chrome dev, Pan, and Vlc. Doesn't really matter what the default packages are as long as they can be removed, replaced, etc. Just my $0.02. 2010/5/13 Andrew Woodhead andrew.woodhead...@googlemail.com I always use gnome-mplayer mplayer is one of the oldest and most respected players out there -Andy 2010/5/13 神癒礁湖 · rafaellag...@gmail.com Well, LXMusic isi a good program, but remeber that it depends on libpango libraries and xmms2.

[Lubuntu-desktop] What to look forward to?
Is it likely that we'll be seeing a Lubuntu Alpha 1 coming out with the rest of the 'buntu 10.10 Alpha releases? I sure hope so. Lubuntu is what I've spent a long time looking for. I see it as an all-purpose distro. I put it on my AMD dual-core 4G desktop box, thinking it was just to play with it, and I've rarely booted anything else since. :) Can't wait to see how this unfolds. Nice job, folks!
