[Lubuntu-desktop] [Bug 664206] Re: SSH_AUTH_SOCK not being properly set: user has to type password even if saved in the password manager
Thanks for the patch, I'll add it for Precise. I'll keep a bug on lxsession, because it should be handle automaticly by lxsession ** Package changed: lxdm (Ubuntu) = lxsession (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: lxde-common (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Lubuntu, which is subscribed to a duplicate bug report (660003). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/664206 Title: SSH_AUTH_SOCK not being properly set: user has to type password even if saved in the password manager Status in GNOME keyring services: Unknown Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “lubuntu-default-settings” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lxde-common” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “lxsession” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: lxde-common SSH_AUTH_SOCK is not being properly set. (Or it is pointing to a sock that doesn't accomplish its job.) Expected behavior: You run ssh myn...@mydomain.net and the password manager opens a GUI to ask for the passphrase. Once unlocked, it remains unlocked until you log off. Moreover, at that moment of unlocking you can tell it to remember the passphrase forever so it gets automatically unlocked next time you login. Any other application that uses ssh-like connections will find this key unlocked as well. Observed behavior: You run ssh myn...@mydomain.net and it prompts you for the key passphrase in the terminal. You run it again, you are prompted again. Any other application that uses ssh-like connections will result in a passphrase prompt as well. How to reproduce: Enter Lubuntu session Open Passwords and Encryption Keys Create a Secure Shell key Configure this key to some domain you can ssh to Open a terminal and run ssh myn...@mydomain.net You are promted for a password in the terminal interface. Partial workaround: Here is a partial workaround for a terminal session: export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`echo /tmp/keyring*/ssh` after the keyring-daemon has been loaded. But it only works within the same terminal session, not for other applications that launch ssh-like processes. Disclaim: it works for Lubuntu session inside a Ubuntu 10.04 install, with GDM as session manager. $ printenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK /tmp/ssh-PZgdl10603/agent.10603 $ ssh mydomain Enter passphrase for key '/home/leorolla/.ssh/id_rsa': [pressed ^C] $ export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=`echo /tmp/keyring*/ssh` $ printenv SSH_AUTH_SOCK /tmp/keyring-k3BQQd/ssh $ ssh mydomain Last login: Wed Oct 20 19:58:06 2010 from Your default printer is mydomain:leorolla [blinking cursor!] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-keyring/+bug/664206/+subscriptions ___ 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] Minimal Install issue in Wiki
This is a quick summarise of the different type of installation, up-to-date with 11.10 : By using desktop ISO : Installation done using Ubiquity + a live session, by copying the image of the CD into the system. It's the recommend way for testing and installing Lubuntu. Note that using the live session or the Install only mode will do teh same result, just using less memory. By using alternate ISO : Installation using debian installer type. No live session available. Design to install Lubuntu on everything, especially if the Ubiquity or the live session is not supported. You can do the same with the command line, by using sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop, on a minimum Ubuntu installation (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Install_an_Ubuntu_command-line_system) Minimal installation : Only on a command line system, just install the lubuntu-core by doing sudo apt-get install lubuntu-core. It should install only core components of Lubuntu + the artwork. I would suggest to also install lxdm or lightdm to have a graphical login manager. As you can see, the --no-install-recommends is not necessary since 11.10. It can be used for people who wants minimal depends, but you have to be carefull, because sometimes some recommended packages are very useful, and so not installed if you use --no-install-recommends. I don't think we need other type of installation, unless I miss a use case :) Regards, Julien Lavergne Le 12/28/2011 07:28 AM, Phill Whiteside a écrit : Hi Hùng, an apology from me. We will get it updated to the alternate ISO. As we got full adoption, the builds and releases of Lubuntu having both the approved system and our older not fully approved builds.

However, before spending time to package / test / fix it, I would like to know if there are other applications like this available, and try to pick the best one. Currently, not having GTK3 support is not a blocker, but we need to have it in mind when choosing the application. For example, having support for openbox 3.5.0 is IMO much more important.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Possible Bug in /usr/bin/startlubuntu
Hi, Thanks for your help on this :) Let me comment the 3 points : Le 12/29/2011 11:32 PM, Axel FILMORE a écrit : I would see three problems : 1) /etc/xdg/xdg-/usr/bin/startlubuntu doesn't exist and looks weird. You should have /etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu instead. It's a common path for configuration files, using by Xubuntu for example (all it's in /etc/xdg/xdg-Xubuntu). It was introduced sometimes ago, but I didn't find any advantage to move from /etc/xdg/lubuntu to this location. 2) /usr/bin/startlubuntu appends /etc/xdg once more. I fixed it for 12.04, it's already append by a Xsession.d script (/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_xdg_path). 3) lxsession parses any $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart that exists. Yes, there were complains about applications run twice using autostart, it's probably because of this. Thanks :) Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of rewriting this part of lxsession, so I can't include your patch like this, but I'll make sure the behaviour is correct on the new lxsession.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] About Xscreensaver
Le 12/23/2011 10:16 PM, Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset a écrit : It has been pointed in the past, that for old machines Xcreensaver makes everything sluggish (i can make proof of it because some installations of Lubuntu have crashed because it tries to launch xcreensaver and everything falls apart AND in my pentium 3 @1000mhz the first thing i cut is the screensaver because it slows the whole system) If I remember correctly, drop xcreensaver was a bad idea just for the blocking screen. I've been using a little Ubuntu 11.10 and I'm wondering if they still use a screensaver at all. Maybe they are using something different just to block the screen? If yes, maybe we could use the same thing and cut xcreensaver from Lubuntu. They are using compiz to lock the screen, so we can't use the same :) 1 thing I will change for 12.04 is to change the behavior by default, using only a blank screen instead of the animated one. It should be nicer for your type of configuration.

How do current numbers of users (as reported by popcon) installing lubuntu-desktop or lxde-common compare to those installing ubuntu-desktop, for example? Overall, I recommend using existing tools and data over trying to build a new survey mechanism from scratch. Yes, popcon is handy for pure statistics, but you can't use it for feedbacks about the usability of the system, or what user would like to see in priority. Of course, using a survey is not 100% reliable, but I don't think any tools which gather this type of data is 100% reliable :) I think a survey done once after each release, could be a good source of information.

The Marketing Team Members are Lubuntu Members who will be dedicated to do one main job/task and that will be Marketing. Also, we do need a Wiki or Documentation Team. In my mind, the teams should be free to organize themself, and to work as they like. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Teams_New for my first ideas on the topic. What about a Sub-Forum on LXDE Forum? if that's possible, it would be great since I'm a moderator there. However, someone must do something please about the continuous problem on LXDE Website. It's up and down and when it's up, it's very slow. It sounds like a good idea. What I'm thinking and wondering about: Having more resources depends on money or something else? also, if we are an official variant for Ubuntu then it's not bad idea at all if Canonical spend something to improve Lubuntu in any possible way. I have no idea how their system work and to be honest don't want to be involved, I have enough stuff to care about but I was just wondering. I'll keep searching for people who can really support us financially. In case I find someone, what shall I do? We never discuss the financial case, and it's quite a complex topic :) Imagine, you want to give 10 € to Lubuntu, how do you share it between people who make Lubuntu : - Lubuntu project (and who in the Lubuntu project ?) - Ubuntu project (because we are based on Ubuntu) - Debian project (because we are besed on Ubuntu, which is base on Debian) - LXDE project (because we used many LXDE components) - Other upstream projects (kernel, abiword, gnome-mplayer ...) - ... One idea is to have in the software-center a button to support upstream projects, or / and having a page with all the support links. But, money doesn't do all. For an open source project, we primarily need users, developers, testers, and people who spread the work :) Well, I think there is a bug using these on both Lubuntu 11.10 and 11.04. On 11.10, adding the above two packages will not add the username. Adding the username must be done through indicator-me which is gone in 11.10 and no longer in the repositories. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/ubuntu-11-10-menu-goodbye/ As for 11.04, indicator-me package is still in the repositories but when I added it and rebooted, it's done and on PCManFM, there is no File, Edit, etc ... I have no idea what happened. There is already some bugs and I commented on one of them but can't find it right now. I have asked that question because there is a case where there are 3 different users are using the same PC and they want something to display the name of the current logged in user beside a feature to switch to another user. indicator-me package has 126 files to be downloaded and installed. I was wondering if it's impossible to use indicator me in 11.10, is there any other alternative? Maybe (just a guess) it's because lxdm doesn't support switching user, so adding indicator-session doesn't show the user name, because it's an indicator for switching user.

I was a little surprised that no one had a clear idea, and that estimates varied widely. It seems a little dangerous from a development standpoint to have so little information about your userbase, doesn't it? Wouldn't it be valuable to determine a way of gathering data about how many people use Lubuntu, and how they use it? I think information on how users use the system, and what they want from it is always interesting. The problem is to organize the collect of the information in a way it's easy to analyze. A survey could be a good idea to gather this type of information. Also, having popular requests from users doesn't mean we will implement them :) We have to keep with our policy : keep it fast and easy to use :) About the number of users, I personally doesn't care too much.

On http://ubuntuforums.org/, I'm not sure there are dedicated forum for Kubuntu, Xubuntu ... Using tag seems to be useful, because some requests / questions may apply to all the derivatives. 3- Lubuntu is an official variant of Ubuntu now. Regarding the funds and stuff like that, is Canonical taking care of that? what if I find someone who can denote or help us financially? I understand it's free OS but I'm working on that ... I'm looking for someone to denote or help us financially. Canonical doesn't provide direct financial support, unless they have financial interest :) They already provide various support, by giving us access to some services, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecognizedDerivatives for details. 4- Like GNOME 2.xx (say Ubuntu 10.04), how can I add my username to the panel? is there anyway? in Ubuntu 10.04, I can see my username on the top panel but how hard or easy is it to do the same on Lubuntu? Using indicator-session-gtk2 + the indicator applet of lxpanel should work. The support for indicators in Lubuntu is not perfect, some of them have need Ubuntu / GNOME components to run properly.

IMHO, reporting a problem on Launchpad should be done if there is NO Real Solution/Fix to a particular issue OR it's an obvious bug (but again, how can we tell whether it's a bug or not?). For a small (BUT GREAT) team like us (Lubuntu), reporting issues on Launchpad directly without checking the forum will add extra work to the developer and above all, on forums, you probably could find a solution easier and faster.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Lxde-list] LXSession improvements
Le 11/30/2011 05:23 AM, PCMan a écrit :
Looks quite good generally and source code written in vala is much
more readable then GObject/C. :-)
Some comments:
* initial applications by default stuff:
gnome classifies applications by stages rather than types.
some applications should be loadad during initialization stage.
some are loaded along with the desktop panel, such as some applets
some are loaded when the panel is loaded and when the desktop
icons are being loaded
others are loaded thereafter.
To ensure applications are loaded at right time, interaction with
session manager is needed.
For example, the desktop panel should inform the session manager
when it's fully loaded.
Then, the session manager enters next stage and loads applications
of the next stage.
Applications which cannot communicate with the session manager
cannot support this.
Executing a command earlier doesn't guarantee that it will finish
loading earlier. This is an issue to solve.
* Regarding to the implementation, an application class with a data
member named type is enough IMHO.
for example:
public enum AppType {
WM,
PANEL,
DESKTOP
}
public class App {
private AppType type;
}
Defining a class registering a new GObject class at runtime and
create much overhead since C has no object supports. OO is not
that cheap with GObject though using it is quite easy in Vala. I'd
avoid overuse of classes.
To reduce overhead of GObject, we can use [Compact] attribute when
defining classes when some features provided by GObject, like
signals, is not absolutely needed.
* Use of LibGee
Most of the time, static arrays or built-in data strucures
provided by glib itself should be enough. Maybe we don't need
LibGee here.
* Initial options support is good, especially the keyboard and
xrandr one.
* Plugin actually is a good idea. I wanted to do that for quite a
long time, but I don't have the time to do it.
* For Dbus interface, I'd suggest using the same interface as gnome
rather than using our own namespace. Most of the gnome
applications and in the future, gtk3 applications, has built-in
supports to interact with gnome session manager. If we use
different dbus interfaces, than we need to patch every
applications to add lxsession support, which can be very painful.
* For lxsession-edit, merging it with lxsession should be good for
maintainance since it's useless when used along.
* If you're going to take its maintaince, it's highly appreciated.
Thanks for the great job!
Thanks for the comments, I added them to the TODO list. I'm not sure
about the timing to implement them :)
Next plan is to release it in PPA for wider testing. I consider it now
stable and with at least the same features than before the rewrite.
If there is no complain, I'm going to merge it in trunk, and prepare it
for an alpha release (0.4.9.1).
I plan to follow the Ubuntu schedule for lxsession, which mean :
* No new features on February (the final list of features will depend
on the time I have).
* Some beta releases during February / March
* String freeze on March
* A final version at the end of March

Julien Lavergne

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 12.04 Alpha 1 Testing
Hi, The 1st Alpha of Lubuntu 12.04 is planned for Thurday. We started the ISO testing for Alpha 1, so if you want to help, you can join the testing process :) If you know how to use a virtual machine (Virtualbox) and how to install Lubuntu, you can help ! :) You can follow the steps on this wiki page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures . We uses a new ISO tracker to collect the results : http://91.189.93.73 . There are 4 ISOs that you can test : Live CD (Desktop) and Alternate ISO, both on i386 and amd64. All need to be tested, to be able to publish an Alpha 1. To be short, just download the ISO, run it into VirtualBox, check the testcase on the page of the ISO, and report the result. You don't need any technical knowledge, and if you have questions, you can ask on #lubuntu or #ubuntu-testing.

Still, the ISOs are available in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/ is people just want to have a look. Another thing: I understand testing in Virtual Machines (VirtualBox) is SAFE but will that be the same as testing on real installation? Not exactly, because the hardware on the virtual machine is generic. You can test many things on a vm, but it's nice to test it also on a real hardware. However, for Alpha 1, it's not important to test it on real hardware. It's still very early in the cycle. It's more critical for Beta ISO for example.

[Lubuntu-desktop] LXSession improvements
Hi, I'm working since some times to some improvements to lxsession. With my experiments, I ended to rewrite some part in Vala, since C have problems with me :) You can find the result on the options branch of lxsession : http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxde/lxsession;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/options The main new features are : * Add initial applications by default support (panel, screensaver ...). It's a way to configure applications started by default, rather than just adding a line in autostart * Add initial options support (Keymap, XRandr, Keyring). It's the ability to add some options add start-up, like a screen resolution (instead of using a .desktop file in autostart directory). * Add initial Dbus support (draft of org.lxde.SessionManager interface, GNOME compat mode) You can have a look at the new desktop.conf file for the new options available : http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxde/lxsession;a=blob;f=desktop.conf.example;h=8ae0636a452b6a2e8e8728c039c5d3f0397996c4;hb=refs/heads/options It should be already usable, the only regression I know is the logout function of lxsession-logout which is broken. I'll appreciate comments on this :) Especialy on the Dbus interface, what do you expect from a session manager to be available via Dbus ? Do you expect other features from the session manager ? I would like in the future to take the maintainance of lxsession and try to add more improvements, like : * Duplicate check, to not autostart an application twice * Merge back lxpolkit and lxsession-edit changes in lxsession * More application by default, and more automatic / smart detections * Finalize the Dbus interface * Improve lxsession-edit to configure the new options.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Killing glade and gconf -- are there general guidelines or a blueprint?

That makes sense, thanks. Actually it looks like we are supposed to migrate from gconf to GSettings, which is a higher level GNOME API that has dconf as its default back end under Unix-like OSes. Currently, we have gconf, xfconf, and dconf running in Lubuntu. Remove gconf will remove 1 on them, and it's also the direction of GNOME. Ubuntu also tries to remove depends on gconf for the main image, but the progress is slow. This does raise another question: for packages that are not Lubuntu-specific, such as gksu, is the plan for us (few) Lubuntu devs to do the migration work, or just to wait for someone else to do it for us? No, the priority is the glade migration because only Lubuntu specific packages are involved. For gconf, we can start the migration for our packages, waiting for the others not specific to be migrated also. If you look at the blueprint ( https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-lubuntu-p-optimizations) only the glade items are in the work items, not the gconf ones.

Glade as the tool to build UIs from version 2.0 has the capability to use gtkbuilder to build its ui forms. Also the ubuntu programming infrastructure quickly uses glade (again the tool) with its default gtkbuilder capabilities. So as far as I see it we don't have any big problem or are they UIs that use the glade library instead the gtkbuilder library in Lubuntu ? (Again glade library does not mean that they were created with glade) The goal is to remove the depends on libglade. I think it's pretty useless to use an external library for something provided by gtk itself (unless the support is not complete enough).

[Lubuntu-desktop] Adding powerpc ISO for 12.04 ?
Hi again, There are some requests to add a powerpc version of Lubuntu ISO. We didn't do this in the past because there was no testers for the ISO. It seems that people are interesting to use it and to test it during the 12.04 development cycle. If the persons could confirm me this interest, I can request to add powerpc to the list of Lubuntu version. To be official, the powerpc ISO needs be tested during Alpha, Beta and Final ISO testing. You can see the procedure on the wiki : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/Procedures It's quite simple, and doesn't require any technical skills. Of course, I can help people during the testing period if they want. Let me know if there are still an interest for testing this ISO, so we can start the tests with Alpha 1 (next week).

Thanks Mario. Currently, the situation is not very nice, the mailing list is not open anymore, and the PPA is too common. We have to change the mailing or the PPA location, or both. About the mailing list, the best solution is probably to swith to one (or 1 for user help, and 1 for devel ?) on https://lists.ubuntu.com/, since it's a more standart mailing list (no need to be member of the team).

[Lubuntu-desktop] Following development of Lubuntu 12.04
Hi again, I have a bit more time to explain how you can follow the development of Lubuntu 12.04. The first source of information is here : http://status.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-precise/group/topic-precise-flavor-lubuntu.html It shows the advancement and the tasks planned for 12.04. To edit the tasks, you need to go to each blueprints, in Contributing Blueprints section. See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WorkItemsHowto to how you can edit the tasks. Another important page is the Schedule, which is shared with Ubuntu and other derivatives : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule . For example, FeatureFreeze is the date when no more feature should be added. You also subscribe to changes done on Ubuntu : https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Precise-changes With this, you should be pretty much up-to-date :) Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ 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] [Lubuntu 12.04] My Suggestions
This is some comments about some proposals you made. Some concerns are probably shared among the community, so it's not useless that I answer some of them : LTS : Again, it's not a choice which depends on the users, but a decision made by the developers. Of course I would like to be LTS, like I would like to buy an expensive car. The fact is, we can't. And even if we try, it could be so expensive that it will block us to do new cool stuff, because we have to maintain 12.04. Applications by default : The policy is to keep existing applications, unless we think there are serious reasons to switch. In this case, we open a discussion, case by case, on the mailing list. Changing application by default is not something we should do often. People who rely on them expect stability. The others can just install what they want (they have the skills to do this). Bug reports : Some suggestions you made should be bug reports, not suggestions. Adding them on the forum will not help developers to fix them. We already have not enough time to look at all the bugs, so I'm sure we will have no time to look at them on a forum, or IRC. Finally, some of your suggestions was already discussed in the past.

I think we have enough topics to start on a weekly base, but we can do it less often in the future, if it's not necessary.

But, we can change it after some time (like 3 months). I propose to begin with this schedule : Wednesday, 7:00 PM UTC, starting on the 23th. It'll not be necessary to attempt all the meetings.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Software Center News
Hi, Good to have some news from you :) I done some testing during the UDS, and the results are not bad :) But I imagine porting it to Vala + Packagekit will be even better :) I assume the port to PackageKit is necessary before the Vala one, because I don't think aptdaemon is available in Vala. Please focus on this one before breaking the application in the rewrite. Don't hesitate to publish your work in a separate branch, so people can test and help you if it's necessary. I also have some suggestions : * Use check-language-support after installing a package, to check if language package need to be installed. By launching it, it should display the packages that need to be installed * Add a timeout when using the search box, like 0.5s before starting to display the results. On my system, I just have the time to enter 1 letter, and the CPU is at 100 % because the search started. If I have the time to enter more letters, my search will be more accurate, and the CPU will be used only when I need it. * Display only 20 (?) results for each view, and add a button Display all results. It should reduce the first search, and don't use the CPU to display hundreds of results. Let me know if you need more info, or bug reports.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [12.04] Firefox instead of Chromium?
Hi, I'm not very fan of a change unless we have a strong consensus for another browser. But, this is my opinion : - We should only consider Chromium or Firefox, because they have a strong upstream and are well maintained. Browser is a very important part of a system, and we really don't have time to do maintenance on it. Adopting Midori for example, means we have to do the maintenance on Ubuntu (triage bugs, testing, maybe some packaging ...). - Benchmark are needed, because just saying it's light, doesn't mean it's always light. Also, the memory usage for Chromium is special, because it shares memory (there is an article from a dev of Chromium somewhere in the Web which explain it). - Finally, it needs to be light on old hardware. Remember, it's the main target for Lubuntu. So far, Chromium seems better on this type of machine. So far, I don't see advantages to switch to Firefox. Of course, if the benchmarks show a real difference, I may reconsider my opinion. Regards, Julien Lavergne On Sat, 5 Nov 2011 15:47:26 +0100 A. Andjelkovic andjelko...@gmail.com wrote: I wanted to bring up the discussion about replacing Chromium with Firefox in 12.04.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu - One Stop Thread
Hi, I don't think all the sources are incompatible. I'm agree that wiki should be the knowledge base, and the reference for all the documentation. However, having a forum thread for a bookmark purpose and chatting is also useful, as long as it points to wiki pages, and people are encourage to contribute to the wiki. Having useful answer or info in a post will be lost if nobody save it on the wiki. Even Askubuntu can be used, with some links to the wiki also.

I then figured out that Lubuntu Users need something a little bit beyond so there came One Stop Thread. After my thread became sticky, that motivated me even more to go beyond but I'm just waiting the right moment as I have huge personal issues on real life that I must deal with it before anything else but I'm actually ignoring and focusing on the best thing I love to do in life, that is Linux. What am I talking about? One Stop Thread is just the first step towards something bigger and much more useful. Last night, I made a banner using Photoshop (sorry, can't use GIMP at the moment - I'm faster on Photoshop) and I made it for a purpose. If you will have a look, you'll understand the whole point of having One Stop Thread and the real primary purpose of it :) Check : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1844755 You'll see the banner at the very beginning :) I'm trying to see the reactions of people and so far, they loved it. Then, I'm going to improve it on daily basis. Then, I'm going even beyond that but again, please be patient. However, I DO REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE all what you have mentioned and I'll take that into consideration. One thing that you guys need to know is, One Stop Thread is NOT meant to be a place where people start posting about their problems and expect an answer. I know this is what is happening right now but if you notice, these are general questions. Above all, I can NOT ask people NOT to post over there because that is against the real purpose of my thread. However, what I can do is to keep it simple and short and organized as much as possible and I do have some plans for that but again, wait please :) I found myself helpful more on the forum. This is what I've been doing for a year even before joining Lubuntu Team so I'll carry on with that :) I also founded very interesting to update the Wiki Area and keep it up to date. However, the real question is: Do you guys want the Wiki Pages to be our Primary Source of Information? be careful because that means the Wiki Area will be much bigger than what it looks like now. If you have a plan to make it as good as Arch Wiki (which has almost everything about Arch) then I'm more than ready but ... I'm doing many other things like Forum, Testing, etc etc and I don't want to lose my focus on that. More people must be involved on the Wiki Pages IMHO. For me, Forum is much easier to maintain and then I update the Wiki Pages accordingly. Also, Traffic on Forum is much more. Above all, I don't really feel comfortable when I browse our Wiki because I feel there is something missing. I think the whole thing needs to be reviewed and re-organized. IMHO of course. Another thing is: www.lubuntu.net must be back to action again. I see NO POINT of re-directing the page to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu I have asked before if I can update it and I've been told that this access can't be given to new people. Understood. But someone must take the responsibility and focus on our website. As a user, I don't feel happy when the page re-direct to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu You see I have tons of ideas but I'm not sure yet when to discuss all that? I'm still doing that here on the mailing list but I guess we need some other place. In the mean time, I prefer to focus on what I'm doing and not to do many things at one time. I'm really glad to get all these replies from you, that means a lot to me, seriously :) I promise that I'll do my best to provide the best to everyone in this community and one thing you need to know about me is that when I go extra miles, I really go EXTRA MILES so don't worry about me. However, I can't do everything alone, I need more people to be involved. I do love team work. That's why I made another thread: Lubuntu One Stop Group. Everyone here is doing great job, no doubt about it but we need to be little bit more organized and each one of us focus on one or two things, not everything. That will increase our performance in no time. Again, just my humble personal opinion
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] PPC
Hi, Sorry for the delay. I didn't understand if you tested the last PPC ISO from daily build or not ? If it's working, it can be considered as an unofficial ISO. Also, it's possible to make it official for 12.04, but we need people available to test Alpha and Beta ISO, during ISO testing process.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New LXKeymap version with autostart support
Hi Leszek, Thank you :) Yes it will be very useful :) However, there is a problem with this implementation : it will need to start python at each start up, to only change the keymap. I'll prefer to have a script to do this, it should be faster. I also plan to implement it in lxsession, so it could be solution a bit faster, so both solutions will be available. Regards, Julien Lavergne On Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:33:57 +0100 Leszek Lesner leszek.les...@web.de wrote: Hi, as I got a lot of requests to implement an autostart feature for lxkeymap I did it. LXKeymap 0.5 is now capable to store its keymap configuration into a file that it reads out during autostart. Therefore I wrote a little *.desktop file that I put in the global /etc/xdg/autostart which contains the new command lxkeymap -a to trigger the autostart function of lxkeymap. The Keymap configuration will be stored locally in your home directory ( ~/.config/lxkeymap.cfg) and is easily editable either by using lxkeymap and set a new keymap or by editing it by hand. You can get this version from here: http://content.wuala.com/contents/leszek/Dokumente/Share/lxkeymap_0.5-0ubuntu1_all.deb?dl=1 If you notice any bugs then report them here: http://launchpad.net/lxkeymap Also I guess there is a bug in lxdm, because changing the keyboard layout in the session and logging out to lxdm does not restore the global keymap but uses the one choosen in the session. This could be also fixed by simply calling lxkeymap -a from within lxdm but as lxkeymap uses only a local configuration it would then create and use the root accounts .config/lxkeymap.cfg file. So you need to create this first by executing lxkeymap as root if you want to have a different keymap globally+lxdm and your user accounts. ___ 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 -- Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com ___ 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

[Lubuntu-desktop] Users experience improvements - Summary of the session
Hi, This is a summary of the points we discussed during the session at UDS. It's a list of points I planned to implement for the next cycle : - Lightdm enable by default for Alpha 1 - Multi-screen configuration : not easy to configure with lxrandr. Solution : Extend lxsession to accept configuration from other utility like arandr. - Lxsession options / services : Add possibility to configure applications by default, and to enable them or not (screensaver, power-management ...) - lubuntu-software-center : Add by default, but keep synaptic. I may have more time to do more items, but I can't guaranty it. You can find the list of other possible items on the blueprint : https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-lubuntu-p-users-experience If anyone have questions or concerns, please send a mail to the mailing.

Currently, I can't guarantee than we will have people to maintain Lubuntu during 3 years. 3 years, it's long, and we have barely enough devs to maintain current releases. Previous LTS releases were Ubuntu and Kubuntu, because they had enought devs on Ubuntu side (Ubuntu Desktop team and Kubuntu Team) and enough on upstream team (GNOME and KDE). There are also companies support which make easier the long term support. However, as 12.04 will be a LTS for Ubuntu, we will do our best to maintain as much as we can this release, as long as we can, but I can't ensure the 3 years support. I hope I answer your question.

However, I see one major issue and I'm trying to find a way to solve it but not sure how long I need for that. The problem is: People don't know much about LXDE and Lubuntu. They think it's totally different world that VLC on their Unity or XFCE won't work on LXDE so they keep asking such questions. I've seen many questions like that. I think we must promote for LXDE more. Lots of work must be done here if you ask me. One step ahead IMHO is to improve our Wiki and Documentation system. I'm trying to develop an approach I already have started with some months ago but I need some time for that. I have my own vision of how to promote for LXDE and Lubutnu. You can share your ideas with the team, maybe people will be interested to help :) Personally, I started to communicate / advertise a bit more since the 11.10 release, and I hope to increase this during this cycle. Another step ahead is having more members with groups, each group is in charge of ONE TASK. Having that said, members will stay focus and their productivity will be higher. Why not making a Marketing Team, and organize yourself the different tasks ? This is part of my thought regarding the organization of the team : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/P-Plan#Spec_organization . I'm sure Mario Behling or Raphael Laguna will be happy to help too :) Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ 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] samba support missing from command line?
Le 21 oct. 2011 à 23:15, maps.backw...@gmail.com a écrit : phillw asked me to send this along. anywho, i tried to connect to a Samba share and couldn't browse to it via Go Network Drives Windows Network (errors Failed to retrieve share list from server and then The specified location is not mounted) but could get to it via smb:// URI. however, i really wanted to browse in lxterminal, so i proceeded to: sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt and it failed. upon installing smbfs, no problems. i guess the real question is whether or not this is a bug. if we intend CLI to support Samba natively, then this should be a part of lubuntu-core, else we should at least add it to the wiki and/or FAQ. wxl See previous email of PCMan about it : No, it's not a bug and smbfs is not needed, either. GVFS, if properly installed with proper backends, should support smb. If you can use gvfs-ls or gvfs-* commands to handle smb:// paths, then it's a bug of pcmanfm. Otherwise, gvfs or other stuff is not correctly configured under lubuntu. Could you please do the tests with gvfs and report back ?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Roadmap for 12.04
Le 10/18/2011 05:22 PM, Rob Peters a écrit : 1. Gnome 2 and xubuntu allow a user to create a launcher anywhere on the desktop without having to build a .desktop file. Gnome 3 dropped this feature and its a pain. Now, if your going to attract windows users most everyone's desktop I see is littered with folders and icons. So, my desire would be to adopt the xubuntu solution that allows for a right-click on the desk to open a launcher constructor. I added an item about this. There is a patch to implement it, we will probably have time to look at it. 2. Searching for files and file content is a big issue for lots of windows users. I needed to install the gnome-search-tool to do this. An easier solution? Someone proposed catfish, but it seems to be now not maintained. Unless pcmanfm gain support for searching soon, we will have to add an utility for this. I know that themes are a very subjective area. For me personally, I thought the 11.04 default theme was a big winner. The blue panel with white text was sharp (IMO) along with the box headers. I am not so impressed with the standards 11.10 theme. So, when you change the theme form one release to the other can you include the prior theme for people who don't like the new one.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Roadmap for Lubuntu 12.04
Hi, We just released 11.10, but it also means that 12.04 development started. It will be the first development cycle after adoption of Lubuntu in Ubuntu family, which come with some consequences. Firstly, we will have the same schedule than Ubuntu : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PreciseReleaseSchedule. Secondly, we can use UDS to discuss plans for 12.04, new features etc ... I would like to use this summit to decide our roadmap for the 12.04, and take decisions we usually took later in the cycle, like new applications by default, new features planned etc ... But, I still want to discuss the differents topics on the mailing before the UDS, to have input from everyones. For the record, UDS starts the 31 October, and finishes the 5 November. Personally, I have 3 topics in mind, and I started to write some notes about them on a wiki page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/P-Plan 1. Optimizations : * Remove unnecessary depends (gconf, glade, other gnome old library ?) * Evaluate a first move to GTK3 (because there will be less maintenance / optimization on GTK2 now) * Optimize the theme 2. User experience : * Add missing features easy to implement and which make our users happy :) * Provide new shiny stuff (lubuntu-software-center, catfish ...) * Fix issues which are here since too much time (keymap switch, screensaver ...) 3. Team Organisation : * Find a way to organize and coordinate our work * Find a way to welcome new members / contributors Also, an important detail is that Ubuntu 12.04 will be an LTS version, but Lubuntu will NOT be an LTS. The main reason is because LTS needs support, update and security fixes for 3 years, which is not possible for Lubuntu team (too much work). However, it should not stop us to make 12.04 the better release Lubuntu ever :) If you have any other topics to mention, please speak now :) It's the perfect moment for asking and discussion. But please, open a new topic on the mailing list, with [12.04] in the title, so it will be easier to follow the discussions.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 11.10 Experience
Le 10/15/2011 01:58 PM, Rob a écrit : Second, the performance has taken a significant hit. IMO, 11.10 boots slower, and seems to lag on any screen click. Takes longer to launch applications, etc. Thinking it was an upgrade issue I did a clean install and experienced the same behavior. Also, as a minor point and I know this is really subjective and can be changed, but 11.04 had a better color for its default theme, blue top with white letters. It was really classy. Boot is a problem for all Ubuntu releases, and work will be done in 12.04 to improve the situation. For the lag, are you using xcompmgr for your tests ? Do you test without it ? Maybe it's a driver regression using xcompmgr (and so compositing).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Idea for LSC

The main goal of it is to be able to control from one place the default apps of the system to open the files. Something similar exists in pcmanfm, but it must be done extension by extension. The proposal, is that it can be done in just one place. What do you think? I like the idea, but LSC is probably not the better place to implement this. A separate program is probably the best, merging also the functionalities from the pcmanfm one. I started to work on something related to this idea.
