We're talking about Pentium 3 4 and 256 to 512 ram. It's like Ali said, it's just a script which does some automated actions, like see what the CPU usage and MEM consumption. The idea for now is just shutting down all current processes of chromium-browser/firefox (or just checking if it's already running or completely shutting down) and starting a default set of tabs. That way the results should be comparable and doable for every machine. With metta, Chris Its somehow funny to see everyone trying to look into the memory consumption of firefox vs. chromium. But I just want keep in mind that those aren't the only criteria for firefox vs. chromium. Don't forget to compare them feature wise. In my view Chromium offers still better features than firefox. Just look at the HTML5 capabilities it just beats firefox here with in my view important things just like HTML5 videoplayback (H264 is supported) or the fact that every browser tab in chromium is running as a different process in a sandbox which makes a crash of one tab not concerning for other tabs. Also the startup time of chromium is still far better than the one of firefox. Chromium also offers some little nice features like a incognito mode that can be used alongside with the normal browsing mode (which firefox does not have, as it closes the 'normal' browser and opens with a incognito profile) The memory consumption is nearly the same. Chromium seems to have a lower memory consumption when it comes to a few open tabs. If you have more than 5 tabs open firefox might be lower on memory consumption but this is only my impression so far(I did not do any tests on it). If you want to dig deep into the materia I guess reading out /proc processes is the right way to go, or you could use the kde systemmonitor (sysguard) which offers the most accurate memory consumption details of all the systemmonitors so far (even giving you a list of /proc processes it analyzed) All in all I am in flavor of Chromium as its still faster and offers the better features. ___ 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

I don't want to be rude, but please keep such personal opinions out of this discussion. If you only choose software on the base of how much ram they use on ancient hardware then you will definitely fail in delivering a good user experience. Personal opinions matter a lot if they are supported by good arguments. And no I don't want to start a war here. I just want to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both browsers. Google is dropping H264 support: http://blog.chromium.org/2011/01/html-video-codec-support-in-chrome.html Google Chrome != Chromium Firefox might do that in the future also, but it costs memory to sandbox each browser tab. And I believe Chromium cheats: when available memory gets too low, tabs begin sharing the same process so it's a bit harder to know what's really going on. At least from the user perspective you have still the advantage that one tab cannot crash the whole browser. While I'm not a Google-hater, I think it's very important for the free web that Mozilla continues to exist. Since Mozilla is a bit more open than Chromium and multiple steps more open than Android, I think open source fans should consider supporting Firefox if the features are nearly equal, which in my opinion they are. This is why I hope Firefox continues to remain the Ubuntu default browser. Since Lubuntu has different constraints in choosing default apps, I'll let Julien and the Lubuntu devs make their own evaluation. Both browsers are fully supported in Ubuntu (Canonical is looking to hire someone who can help maintain Chromium). I really don't think that if Lubuntu would ship Chromium instead of Firefox it will hurt Mozilla soo much that they have to fear their existens. And to be clear here, if we would to have choose a non free vs. a free software then I would also argue its definitely better to promote the free software. But in our case we have to made a choice between two free software products. ___ 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

On the other hand 8.10 won't fire up on my laptop because of missing support for switchable graphics %) Just thinking aloud - would it be wise to create an override apt profile for lubuntu which will suppress all the 'recommended' and 'suggested' dependencies by default? After restricting /gnome|kde|qt[2-4]/ in apt it is annoying to retype each time '--no-install-recommends' after install aborts bcz of missing dependencies. RTFM. There is an apt/preferences flag for that. Also this whole conversation is non sense. If you test out ubuntu 5.04 or even Debian 2.0 it would be lightning fast even with KDE. But remember back then linux supported lesser hardware and was not intended to run on hardware that we normally have today (Dual/Quad-Cores). Also remember old Operating Systems might run fast but don't support modern technologies or hardware. Try to stick an USB Thumbdrive in a DOS machine. Lubuntu takes a very far approach in supporting good old hardware which is about 15 years old whithout loosing modern technologies (3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, Powermanagement) The the ones speaking of bloatkernel, bloatdrivers Have you ever looked at the Kernelcode or done tests on the Kernel ? Lets take for example audio latency. For years you had to patch the kernel for realtime audio with jack and ardour. Nowadays it isn't necessary for the amateur audio editor as the kernel even without the realtime patches is nearly as fast as with them. The Kernel has become bigger but performance wise it is nearly as fast as it was before if not even a little faster.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] system requirements question, 5.4 gb of free space needed?
- Ursprüngliche Mitteilung - This is my first time installing LUbuntu 11.04 and I am trying it on an eeePC with a 4 gb SSD. The installer says I need 5.4 gb free space to install. I thought LUbuntu was light weight, so I'm curious if that system requirement is correct or not. This seems to be a bug (or mistake) as even technically you can not compress 5.4 GB under 700 MB (for the ISO). My Installation eats up about 1.6 GB.

Currently the Quick search feature is disabled by default with a fresh install, however to make it functional only one of it's recommended packages needs to be installed as well. This package is apt-xapian-index (technical information below) which in my opinion is a small package to add a greatly appreciative feature of synaptic. Additional information about it can be found with apt-cache show apt- xapian-index in terminal. Only the python-xapian dependency wasn't installed, who's information I'll also send with this mail. So please consider to add this to the default installation and thanks for considering it. With metta, Chris Druif Technical information: ... I think it does also need to run to create the index before you can use it. I don't if its done only by installing the missing package. I know in KDE world muon packagemanager does update the xapian index when installing (in the postinst script).

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Any major must fix before Beta issues left in Lubuntu?
Am Mittwoch 30 März 2011, um 14:23:52 schrieb PCMan: Text based installer + 1. The alternate CD with console-based UI is good enough IMO if it can have l10n user interface. Windows installer has long been text-based since windows 3.1 and it's still text-based in windows xp. Nobody complains of this so why should we insist that there should be a graphical one? Yes, if you boot from Windows xp installer cd on a machine without OS, you'll enter text-based installer. The GUI part is only available after the basic system is set up. Actually, we can do the same. The text-based installer (part I) only installs base system and core components and then reboot and automatically login X11 with a super user. After boot, a GUI-based installer (part II) is launched and continues the remaining parts. This can make things much easier. The only problem with this approach is, we cannot have a good GUI-based UI for partitioning. Windows XP handle this in text-mode, too. However, I see no real problem here. The rationale is quite simple. Users who doesn't know how to use text-based UI are also the ones that will almost always choose automatic partitioning. Others who like to use customized and manual partitioning are definitely advanced power users who don't need a GUI installer. So don't put 80% of development resources to do what only 20% people need. Please, if someone know how to work with the text-based debian installer, consider this approach. Let's set up a base system with the text-based one, and continue the remainng parts in a GUI installer after rebooting into X11. This is also what Windows does. Comments? It needs to be a base system + X11 Otherwise it won't work. The other problem is the enormous effort and work we need to put in such a project. (e.g. I can promise you lots and lots of bugs, and yes I created an installer for ZevenOS-Neptune on my own, so I have a little experience in this) My suggestions just promote the alternate install cd for everyone who can't use the graphical (live) installer. Maybe we can one day also use the debian- live-installer (which is basically the textinstaller from debian but able to run and install from a live system) as an alternative to ubiquity. The problem I see from switching from ubiquity to X would be that lubuntu will never become an official flavor of ubuntu.

Probably squid is also easy to set up, I just did not have the time to try it. LXProxy is not acceptable for me, since logging out and back again is not something I would do for a proxy setting change. There is simply no other way around for setting a global proxy(someone correct me if I am wrong). LXDE simply must reread the ~/.profile file for the proxy settings to globally apply. One alternative for you might be that you can start a terminal and execute source ~/.profile right after a proxy change in lxproxy, which will then load the proxy changes you made for this terminal window. So running chromium or another app will use then the shortly changed proxy settings. Unfortunatelly in Chromium 8.0.552.215 (67652) Ubuntu 10.10, I can not add proxy configuration to my browser. When I click on Change proxy settings, I'm getting: When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration. But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man chromium-browser for more information on flags and environment variables. This is too bad. Chromium just uses the system proxy settings and doesn't have its own proxy manager. Is this also related to the fact that LXDE is a simple window manager ? (bug related to the issue that Chromium can not determine if it's default browser or not): https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=53066 I think chromium simply looks for the gnome gconf entries and not the freedesktop specification in xdg Installed Midori and FF, both could be configured to use the above mentioned proxy (in general, proxies could be added to these browsers).

Anyway, you can always vote on the next artwork poll... I disagree on you there. His goal was to make a working lubuntu system for his laptop, and it worked out well for him, so he was kind enough to share it with the mailing list. (That's my opinion on it). And I don't see why the artwork should be simple/basic. I mean some simple things will improve the appearance of lubuntu hugely, in my opinion. I might be wrong about this, but I think whether you have a bad computer or a really good one, (almost) everyone likes eyecandy. But again, this is just my humble opinion and based on no research whatsoever. The Artwork needs to be strict and clear and give the user the impression of a corporate identity. So that even without seeing the Lubuntu logo you will guess from the colors used and how they are mixed up together: Oh that must be lubuntu. The strict direction or dogma Lubuntu follows here is Be simple (don't know if its only inoffical or somewhere offically written down) . That is good and should not be changed drastically. (Changing a brand or corporate identiy to drastically does not work, some folks here in germany [perhaps also in europe] might know the disaster with Raider becoming Twix in the 90s) There are some good websites like box-look.org and gnome-look.org aswell as kde-look.org to get good wallpaper, icon sets and even openbox themes. One interesting idea I had was perhaps creating a special lubuntu-themes-extra package which could contain some community created themes. This package may then be make public on the lubunt ppa and later perhaps also become a part of the official ubuntu repository. If there is enough space on the disk we could also ship it default installed. But don't get me wrong on this. The basic theme we ship now is good enough. We should focus more on polishing the desktop experience for the user. Fixing bugs and perhaps adding some interesting features. Experimenting with Remixes can be a help to improve your/our own knowledge and can give as some hind on how to improve some things. But with that said, I don't think everyone now should start its own remix :P ___ 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

Unfortunetly the Installation fails after installing the base system, because it tries to install a package called lubuntu-desktop^ in the tasksel process which it cant find. I tried this with the modified tasksel version of yours. I even checked the modification you made but cant find the error. I'm not sure I made the correct fix for tasksel, it probably needs another fix somewhere. But I interesting to know how you made the initial CD, because I only find how doing an iso with squash filesystem, but not with .deb packages. Ok I see it wasn't quite the right fixes you made as the last line in lubuntu-desktop from the ubuntu-tasks folder contains Packages: task-fields This would as far as I understand connect to the ubuntu server and search for a corresponding task. But there isn't one. Packages: list lubuntu-desktop works much better and fixes the error I got before. To create the CD I basically took the xubuntu alternate cd. Then I copied over the whole ISO and put it into one directory(lets call it cd-img). Replaced the isolinux folder with the fancy isolinux folder from the livecd with the cool looking logo png and where you can set language with F2 and with F3 the keymap and so on. The first thing that I did afterwards was taking the xubuntu.preseed file that ships with the xubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso and changing it basically from xubuntu-desktop to lubuntu-desktop(I know there is a lubuntu.seed file on the live cd but I took the one from the other alternate cds as they were more entries and I didn't want to mess ups things). Then I put this preseed file back to my copy of the minimal install cd(so the cd-img folder) into the preseed folder. I did change the txt.cfg file in isolinux so that the default option would boot with the preseed file option of the lubuntu.seed . Then the little bit more tricky part create a repository. For creating this repository I know that I need every package that needs to be installed when installing lubuntu-desktop. Every means every , so also xorg and those other stuffs. As I had a Minimal Install ISO aswell I simply created a minimal installed cli only system in virtualbox and apt-get install(ed) lubuntu-desktop. All the required deb files are stored in /var/cache/apt/. The only thing to do now is getting those deb files outside the virtual machine. Then there is a cool package called apt-move which is pretty handy as it can automatically copy or move those deb files in a repository like hierarchical folder view. So it will create automatically the structure of a repository that you need, by putting in lubuntu-desktop for example in a pool/l/lubuntu-meta/lubuntu-desktop_xXX-i386.deb file/folder structure. By default this repository structure will be put into /mirrors/debian so you need root right to run apt-move. But I guess the default folder is changeable I just was to lazy to read the manpage ;) Then we copy over the pool directory to the cd-img folder. Again me as being lazy I didn't overwrite all the packages that where already in the xubuntu pool directory (they can be deleted later I guess or you can delete the whole pool directory with the exception of the udeb files. So 'find . -name *.udeb' and copy over all udeb files as they are necessary for the installer). Then we have the pool directory almost ready. I had to repackage the ubuntu-keyring package as I don't have the private key to sign the cd and the new repository with official ubuntu keyring. So I downloaded the keyring and added my own private key to it. This step is really important because otherwise the installer won't install if the repo isn't signed. So I repackaged this package and put it into the pool structure unter u/ubuntu-keyring I think it was. That should be all for the pool directory. Basically we need the Release and Packages.gz file for the repository now and sign it. So I created a release.conf file ( storing the basic info like distro name , codename and main + universe repos) and a config file you can see here to get an Idea how it works: http://pastebin.ca/1965874 This is basically the file that will scan the pool files and create the Packages.gz for each repo (means main and universe). As you can see here you need also some override files that you can get from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/indices As the above config file will only create a package listing for debs I created also a config which scans all the udebs. Here is the config: http://pastebin.ca/1965876 As you can see I basically only replaced the deb with udeb :) Now we have all the config files lets build the packages and release files with: apt-ftparchive -c /path/to/release.conf generate ../apt-ftparchive/apt-ftparchive-deb.conf apt-ftparchive -c /path

So applications that you installed later with apt-get and even configuration files you created in your home folder. ___ 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 ___ 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

How about kernel upgrades (as in 2.6.35-22-generic from 2.6.35-21-generic), does that keep that too? If not, how to endure it does or at least how to make sure the new kernel boots up the next time? Kernel changes will be also changed but only in the persistency file. As the bootloader normaly searches for a vmlinuz and initrd on the fat32 portion of a usb stick, you need to replace the old vmlinuz and initrd files on your usb sticks casper directory.

That's the whole explanation. The advantages are that, of course, there is no need for persistent or casper-rw, and things should process faster. There might be some things to watch out for, like setting grub to hard disk instead of to the usb stick, as some have found out. 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. Normally, at every kernel change, the system will, besides updating the grub menu or grub.cfg, it will create both the initrd and syslink and /vmlinuz and syslink to /root. However, until recently, I noticed Lubuntu was not doing this, as compared to ubuntu and kubuntu. Also even if it does this now, we had to take care that it is done to the casper directory instead and named properly, as Leszek has just pointed out to me just now. BTW, does someone know exactly how initrd.(gz|lz) is built? Am I correct in thinking it's just grabbing everything in /lib/modules/ and compressing them in a single file? Its grabbing the modules it needs plus the init script (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/) and for livecds also the casper scripts. (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts /usr/share/capser) Thank you. ___ 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 ___ 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

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? Just a thought. :) A live usb stick runs from a highly compressed read only image (filesystem.squashfs) stored on a rewritable fat partition. So you can write changes to the fat portion of the usb stick but not to the highly compressed image.

For enabling persitency with a file on a fat32 formatted stick you need to create a file with dd with you preffered persistent file size and then simply format this with ext2/3 or 4 or whatever filesystem you like. Rename the file to casper-rw and add persistence to your boot options. Alternatively you can resize the fat32 portion of your filesystem on your stick and add a ext2/3 or 4 formatted filesystem to it with the label casper-rw to enable full persistency. For only activate persistency for your home directory (this wouldn't solve your xorg resolution problem though) replace casper-rw with home-rw. Here are commands summed up. 1. DD (2GB Persistency Image): dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/your_path_to_usbstick/casper-rw bs=1024 count=2000 2. Format the persistent image mkfs.ext2 /media/your_path_to_usbstick/casper-rw 3. Add persistent to your bootoptions 4. Reboot Hope this helps you :) Does someone know how to do this?

If it meets all those of those, AND is in the official Ubuntu Repositories there will be a vote held. (yes, it really does seem like that when proposing a new included application). If you find a candidate that you feel meets most of the above, please do put it forward. Even if it does not get included on the release it would be possible to give it a mention in the same way that Deadbeef is as lean, mean and keen music player, liked by many but not in the official repos.

Unused memory is wasted memory. Its by far more important how much memory a single application uses (without the libraries it needs) to check its efficency. If the library isn't included by default in lubuntu you need to add this library memory usage also (because it can't be shared between applications, when only one app uses it). The best way to check if an application is suitable is to grep an older pc and test it there. Speed + Stability are the far most important points that matter. But it may be good to test also starting different applications in parallel to watch if this slows down the application dramatically or not. And CPU usage Tasks: 134 total, 1 running, 133 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): *1.3%us,* Take a note of where the memory and CPU usage is (*bold*), then go to install the programme. If at this point it wants to bring in a lot additional parts, it is unlikely to pass the requirements. If it passes that step, then you can, if you wish install it [1] and reboot. then issue the *free* and *top* command again to ensure the new program is not 'eating up memory' or CPU usage Again CPU usage is important here. Memory usage might be also very high depending on which application you use (QT and KDE applications share there memory and reserve mostly more memory then they actually use) Start using the application for a little while then issue the commands again and you can see what it is using, both in memory and CPU time. Issuing those commands and looking at there output gives only a vague orientation on how this app might behave. This is definitely not an objective way to found out how an app behaves on low memory. Regards, Phill. [1] when installing use apt-get, or a ppa in order to remove a package from your system if you wish it gone. P.S. I've seen many discussions on this, if lubuntu could get a standard way of testing of an application I think it is worth us having a 'bench-mark'. There are too many applications and too many different libraries doing to much different stuff. I don't think we can do a automated benchmark. Every app must be real time tested. (if they don't fall of already before testing i.e. thinking of JAVA apps which bring big dependencies and benefical only for one app) Regards, Leszek On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 9:51 PM, Julien Lavergne gi...@ubuntu.com wrote: Le vendredi 20 août 2010 à 12:53 +0700, Duy Hùng Trần a écrit : When I introduce Lubuntu to people in my country, I'm sure the most asked questions are: How to ... in Lubuntu?, What software to ... in Lubuntu?.

This is an interesting topic. I really don't know how to recognize them before testing them. But looking to other so called lightweight distributions and there default applications would be one way to do this. Another one would be looking at the homepages of the different applications and trying to find the system requirements for this app. Lastly but not least Blogs like ubuntu geek have some app tips and also write about lightweight applications.

Or a minimal LiveCD with only lxde as a desktop that allows you to install the system with a cli installer ? The first one is a little pain of work. The second one not so much, as I already have a cli installer written for zevenos-neptune (debian based) that will also work flawessly on lubuntu if the dialog package is installed. And btw.

Here is the link: http://blip.tv/file/3612824 (Including a link for the source and deb) All in all I would think making a 'real' minimal InstallCD might be a better solution as it supports more installation methods and special configurations for LVM and encryption.

I prefer to focus on the main goal of Lubuntu for now, we don't have a big team, and the goal of Lubuntu is clearly not to be used for all the uses cases covered by Ubuntu. We don't have enough people to do this. An example is mine, and a couple of others, using it as a great GUI for a server (We're running LAMP). As to some of the other things it can do, and do well, earlier we had a new lubuntu'eer on #lubuntu asking about configuring up a dual monitor system off their laptop. It was painless, once I found a nice easy 'How-To' http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=849197 Most laptops have an external monitor plug on them, and a lot of them can stretch to dual display. It took all of about 5 minutes, the result looks pretty good -- http://i44.tinypic.com/2u8uikz.png crazysoldier has said it is quite okay to use the screen-shot to show just how good easy Lubuntu is. Managing dual screen is a pain, because it depends on the drivers you use. If you use a driver which use randr, a tool like the one in Ubuntu should work. But for nvidia or ati users using the binary blob, it will not work. There is no universal solution, even for Ubuntu. Knoppix (based on LXDE) has a modified Xrandr with 3 easy buttons to either choose to have both screens cloningmode on, screen 0 on only or screen 1 on only. The advanced Tab looks like the one we ship now. From the usability point of view this would be a better solution as we ship now. From the technical point of view: This will work out of the box with , intel, ati nvidia cards (all using the opensource drivers , nvidia the new nouveau one). We should ship this one, if we find the source. I cannot find it on the knoppix repo. I guess it might be even a official lxrandr patch. Another lubunteer, cousteau, has a patch for laptops so you can use the Fn key for the numeric keyboard that lives amongst the 789uiojklm keys without doing Fn-NumLock, it's a real small script that runs on startup if installed. If it's working, it's not something that should be Lubuntu specific. And it should be something in the configuration tool, not running by some script at startup. Regards, Julien Lavergne Multimediakeys should be supported. This are 3 lines of code in .Xmodmap in /etc/skel.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Feedback Lubuntu Lucid Beta 1 Logo
Hi, I tested the first beta and I am pretty impressed. I tested it on real hardware booting from liveusb stick. It was amazingly fast. Only a few seconds to boot. This is really a record for linux systems. PCManFM2 seems to work fine. I only encounterd some minor bugs. 1. No default Terminal emulator is set in PCManFM2. We should set this to lxterminal 2. Ejecting USB Sticks from within PCManFM2 does not seem to work. (Tested with 3 SanDisk U3 Sticks, they have 2 partitions 1 FAT32 Data, and a virtual CD-ROM drive partition. I only mounted the FAT32 Data partition, though pcmanfm2 asked me to mount both.) 3. The dialog to open a newly inserted media shows up on the virtual desktop where there is a opened filemanager. Trying to switch to desktop inserting usb stick results that it automatically switches to desktop 1 and shows the media dialog there. (I think its a bug, cause its annoying and killing my workflow, as if you choose to open up the newly insert media it won't show up in the opened filemanager window, but opens up a second window. So it absolutely does not make sense to switch the desktop to show the dialog.) 4. Copying Linked folders(symlink to folder, that contains files) in pcmanfm2 should copy them as symlinks and not as files I think. This are the first test results so far. All in all a very nice improvement. And btw. very nice work on the artwork to fit the ubuntu new brand ;) Greetings Leszek ___ 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

According to the suggestion from dgod, directly passing existing environment variables to lxdm is not a good idea and PATH should be restricted to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin only. However, this restriction breaks many system applications in ubuntu and arch linux. Without this restriction and if global env variables from the system is directly used, things might go wrong in Fedora. So, I'd like to ask that where the values of $PATH come from in Ubuntu and Arch Linux and what's the better solution for this issue. Anyone know how gdm handles this? 2010/3/10 dgod dgod@gmail.com: 考虑到现代的linux都把sbin放到了默认环境变量里面，默认加入这些应该是可以的。 如果考虑到使用全局预设的环境变量的需要，可以考虑加入一个新的环境变量LXDM_FORCE_PATH，如果设置了这个，那么session的环境变量可以设置成它 这样不同的系统可以通过修改/usr/sbin/lxdm里的设置来调整，如export LXDM_FORCE_PATH=$PATH。 事实上最好能确认在ubuntu等系统中，PATH到底是怎么生成的。 在 2010年3月10日 下午12:23，PCMan pcman...@gmail.com写道： 我是_j_...@_}有再的空_g 因_樵谄渌_ distro 默_j_o置下，有�...@部份_k不是__ /etc/profile _O置 使用 /bin:/usr/local/bin:/usb/bin __造成部分系_y程序功能失常 如果真要默_J使用 hard-coded 的路_剑_那我__建_h加入 /sbin 等等 至少__一些重要系_y元件得以正常___樱_ 目前我所_y___^的，__定在 debian, ubuntu, 及 archlinux 就目前的 lxdm，都__有___}。 2010/3/10 dgod dgod@gmail.com: 首先/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usb/bin应该是所有unix的默认路径。如果系统需要修改这个，那么应该是在login的时候，自己在shell配置文件如/etc/profile之类的设置。比如fedora就是这样的，fedora现在也把/sbin等路径放到普通用户的PATH环境变量了。 事实上我不认为把提供给系统服务用的环境变量直接提供给普通用户，有何意义。 事实上原来用global的默认路径的时候，就有人在sf.net上报过相关bug，这会导致至少在fedora上设置出来的路径不合普通用户需要。 ubuntu需要的话，或者可以修改配置文件中的PATH环境，或者单独对lxdm打个补丁。 在 2010年3月10日 上午3:09，PCMan pcman...@gmail.com写道： 我注意到你 revert 了之前我改_^的 PATH 有特_e的理由_幔_ __制使用 /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin 完全弄__ ubuntu 上的 LXDE 而且很多_|西因此__成_o法使用 _S多 distro __在 PATH _e面加_|西，不用 global 的很多_|西可能___o法正常_\作 至少在 Ubuntu �...@已__造成很多___}... 在 ArchLinux 上也是一_樱_弄_牧撕芏__|西 我__是__建_h改回使用 global environment 如果使用者真的有需要限_s在 /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin 那就可以改 lxdm.conf 加入 path=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin _...@就是__初_o_@___O定 key 的目的 但是__於一般使用_碚f，使用 global env __比_^洽__ 在很多 distro 上，有部份桌面__件是依...@__行_椴拍苷_常_\行的 我_y___^的包括 Debian, Ubuntu, ArchLinux，全部都需要 global 用你改_^的_S多__件都失效了，包括 policykit 在_��...@很_乐_ _...@造成其他 distro 上_S多系_y__件都_牧耍_也有用_艋__筮^_状_ 在 fedora _...@_佣疾___有___}_幔_ Shouldn't a PATH= entry in /etc/profile solve this issue ?

[Lubuntu-desktop] PCManFM 2 Trash/Files and other Bugs
Hi, here some bugs I noticed with the last pcmanfm2 version from ppa repo. Creating a new empty file works but not always displays the new file right away (refresh is necessary). Same goes for creating files or directories from within the terminal. They don't show up in pcmanfm. I need to relaunch or reload the folder for this. (gamin, famin support broken !? or an lxdm problem as starting pcmanfm2 from terminal, refresh works nicely) Doubeclicking (or Oneclicking) the empty file causes a crash. (Same goes for downloaded files/ maybe all files?) Crash message from Terminal: pcmanfm: symbol lockup error: pcmanfm: undefined symbol: fm_file_info_get_target Btw: for lubuntu-default-settings: Terminal command Sudo command are not set. Another Bug I found creating a symbolic link to a folder in a new folder (e.g. create folder test in home and inside test a link to Music folder in home directory) and then copying the folder test somewhere. It will grab a copy of the Music folder and its contents. So that I don't have a link anymore to my home Music folder. Moving the the test folder to trash (its also a bug for all files) and then trying to empty trash, asks once if I am sure to empty the trash, and then twice if I really want to delete this file(s). After deletion there is a error Message: Items in the Trash may not be modified DebuG output from terminal: ** (pcmanfm2:2255): DEBUG: total number of files to delete: 69587170080954 ** (pcmanfm2:2255): DEBUG: file operation is finished! ** (pcmanfm2:2255): DEBUG: total number of files to delete: 4 ** (pcmanfm2:2255): DEBUG: FmJob error: Items in the trash may not be modified ** (pcmanfm2:2255): DEBUG: file operation is finished!
