Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Image files
Not answering your question or anything but in regards to the 64 bit .iso, please be sure to note that it is a contributed non-official build wherever it is referenced. Thanks.

I'm guessing that the new hoster becomes primary direct download site, do you still wish me to be a secondary direct download site?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] amd64 build of Lubuntu.
Alright, I have it uploaded and have done one test download to verify the md5sum matches (nothing is more irritating than a bad upload). Here 'tis: http://kendalltristan.com/iso/Lubuntu-11.04-amd64.iso http://kendalltristan.com/iso/Lubuntu-11.04-amd64.isomd5sum = f24d791333efc959a81d5449bf893aa6 Let me know how it goes and if there's anything that needs fixing.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] amd64 build of Lubuntu.
Yeah, as with all things of this nature it needs to be run through the gauntlet a time or two before any decisions about distribution are made. If there are issues that I missed, then I need to get them situated before this is released to the public.

[Lubuntu-desktop] amd64 build of Lubuntu.
Hey guys, I had some free time today so I went ahead and spun up an amd64 Lubuntu 11.04 build. The package list is identical to the i386 save one xorg package that isn't available in the 64 bit architecture. I just finished installing it on my test box and everything seems to be working identically to the i386 as best as I can tell. The only things that are beyond my capacity to test are the usb-creator.exe and wubi.exe applications as I don't have a Windows system anywhere and I'm unfamiliar with what (if any) changes need to be made there. Currently the .exe files that are on the .iso are the same ones used in the amd64 Xubuntu build. I need to find a way to get this distributed amongst the Lubuntu testers and developers. I can stick this up on the Peppermint server probably tomorrow sometime or I can throw it in my Dropbox and share it with a couple of people (gotta be careful not to max out my available bandwidth though). When I figure out how to get this to you guys, it's my hope that you'll take it and make it available to everyone who's been wanting a 64 bit Lubuntu for all this time. I figured it would be a small thanks to you guys for putting together such an excellent distro. Currently I use Lubuntu as the base for Peppermint OS and for some of the Linux Mint editions I build. Just let me know how best to get this to you guys and I'll start uploading. If there are any mission critical changes that need to be made, I can probably step back in and take care of them if necessary. Again, just wanted to say thanks. -- Kendall Weaver CTO, Peppermint LLC 828-489-9757 kend...@peppermintos.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
Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Benefits of Lubuntu being official (was: Re: Ask Mark session )
For the time being, I can go ahead and whip up a 64 bit .iso if there is any interest in me doing so. It shouldn't take but a couple of hours. I have most of one put together already as I'll need it to build the 64 bit Peppermint release.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] system requirements question, 5.4 gb of free space needed?
I just checked in /usr/share/ubiquity/gtk/stepPrepare.ui (I can't immediately recall the exact location of this file in the source code) and the hard coded value there is 3GB, meaning that it's pulling a value from somewhere. I did a regular Ubuntu install and seem to recall it saying 4.x GB needed (not 100% sure on this one). Setting the visibility on this widget to False causes no side effects. Would it make sense to do this in future editions if appropriate functionality doesn't make it into Ubiquity by then?

But in Natty, the value was hard-coded in Ubiquity code :/, and very late in the cycle.
