+1 for handling alternate CD as a main distribution, with an option to
switch to LiveCD+Ubiquity for those who install Lubuntu on more
resource-rich configurations.

 +1 alternate CD
 It´s suppose that the minimal memory for use Lubuntu is 192MB, but with
 256MB to install it, it´s impossible to use it with a very old computer.

 My suggestion it´s to share a text install (alternate CD) by default.
 Anyway now Lubuntu isn't for beginners Linux user, so with a text install no
 body will be complicated. (My experience: the first Linux distro that i
 install [Ubuntu 7.04], i installed with the alternate CD, with my 256MB of
 ram memory [and Pentium 4 celeron] was impossible to install with GUI. Even
 if was my first install i could do it without a problem. The installations
 it´s intuitive.
 Sorry for my English.

 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.

 Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to reduce the memory footprint
 of the installer for 11.04. We used the same than Ubuntu, which have
 some advantages (ex: shared development) and disadvantages (ex: memory
 usage is not the priority of the ubiquity devs).

 Installer need some improvements (reducing memory usage, add option to

 Lubuntu / Ubuntu :)

The other question this poses is, is it really necessary to have a
graphical installer as the default for Lubuntu? I just thought I'd ask
the question, I personally have no qualms installing by either method.
I understand the rationale for both having a graphical installer and
using the Ubuntu default installation method but if it's going to go
against one of the main functions of Lubuntu it might be worth
considering the text based installer as the default? I just thought
I'd throw it out there so all ideas are discussed, obviously, for
11.04 this is not going to happen but if the memory requirements
continue to build I think having this brought up now would be useful
to think about.

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. (even kubuntu uses ubiquity under 
the 
hood and only created a kde'ish interface for it)

I think the idea of promoting the alternate might work, maybe make it
an equal of the ubiquity installer in LubuntuLand instead of a poor

that there is no extra work in making it happen but still provides all
the information for those wanting a light weight installation.

Following my tests on a pre-Beta ISO :

Le dimanche 27 mars 2011 à 18:28 -0700, Jonathan Marsden a écrit :
 (1) Recent (post-Alpha 3) ISOs do not install from the Install
 Lubuntu
 menu item, it hangs in an X screen.
I reproduce a similar bug, I arrive on a black screen, with a mouse
cursor, without a desktop (pcmanfm). You can still launch a terminal
with a right click on the desktop, and launch sudo ubiquity to launch
the installer.

I think I found the problem, but I'm not sure I'll be able to fix it for
the Beta.

 (2) Lubuntu seems to need more that 256MB RAM to install now, which is
 bad.
Hum, confirmed on a VM with only 256 Mo, ubiquity crashed. Maybe when
the Install mode only will be fixed, we can lower the requirement.
It's time to work on the alternate ISO generation :-/

Beta 1 still planned tomorrow, with probably a amd64 version along with
the usual i386.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Any major must fix before Beta issues left in Lubuntu?

2011-03-30 Thread PCMan
Currently the alternate CD contains a nice text-based installer.
What I suggested is to make a new installer based on the current one
in alternate cd.
However, the new installer only install the minimal base system + core
utils + X11 + gdm + drivers to harddisk. Then, reboot into X11 and
then we can launch a GUI installer from hard-disk to finish the
remaining parts, which can partially based on ubiquity. This solves
all the problems in an elegant way.

1. Text-based installer only does disk partitioning and install base
system. So actually nothing needs to be done by the user manually
except for disk partitioning. It's nearly automatic.

2. After rebooting, we boot from hard-disk into a clean X11 session
with only GUI installer running. So we're not running the live cd and
hence the memory usage can be ``minimal'',  128 MB I guess. The GUI
installer is the only GUI programming running under X11 and we have no
running desktop environment, so it can use all the RAM available. So
we can write the GUI part without worrying about RAM usage. So
developing the GUI installer can be much easier than developing
ubiquity since memory usage is no more an issue. We can do what we
want easily in it.

Personally, I think this kind of installer is most suitable for our
system since it has good efficiency, functionality, smaller memory
footprint, and better reliability then running on live cd.

Should we consider putting it on the list of ubiquity devs to reduce memory
footprint? Once we are an official derivative of Ubuntu we might have a
better foot to stand on and ask for these things.
But it would even benefit Ubuntu I guess. Lower footprint would speed up
installation as well?
Just a thought of course.

Of course, if anyone is aware of any annoying bugs, feel free to ping
the mailing list.

I'll try to start testing Beta ISO tomorrow, and see if any of the
issues you mention are reproductible here.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne

[Lubuntu-desktop] Any major must fix before Beta issues left in Lubuntu?

2011-03-27 Thread Jonathan Marsden
Julien and team,

What are the remaining we really need to fix *this* before beta issues
in Lubuntu 11.04?

Issues I know of that might qualify are:

(1) Recent (post-Alpha 3) ISOs do not install from the Install Lubuntu
menu item, it hangs in an X screen.

(2) Lubuntu seems to need more that 256MB RAM to install now, which is bad.

(3) Some people (OK, UBuxuBU) have no sound at all in Alpha 3.

Some sort of punch list of the (hopefully few) remaining serious
issues we need to address before releasing Lubuntu 11.04 Beta1 would be
really good to have.  I don't feel qualified to create it...

Jonathan
