One little graphical thing: what about making the logo there white, like it was illuminated? i tried it and that looks quite good, no matter if you use a blue or a green background. Well, we try to be consistent in the artwork. The problem, everyone have a different opinion on the artwork :) 3.) Sometimes on startup with the livecd i got this error-message: Error: unable to establish connection with FAM. Do you have Fam and Gamin installed and running? is there already a bug report, or what is it? Or is it something with pcmanfm, that will become batter with version2 ? Let's try with the next Alpha, with pcmanfm2, to see if it's still the case. 4.) Same with some icons. They seem to fall of the screen, they are not in the middle of the tab (how do you call them?) Do you have a screenshot ? 5.) Software we should add: gdebi-gtk and some games. Should be added in the next Alpha.

Everything is working good enough, Generally, adding my PPA is quite dangerous :) I made many changes for testing, sometimes really unstable :) When I have something stable, I put it in the Lubuntu PPA instead (or in the Ubuntu repo directly). except 4 things: 1) pcmanfm2. It crashes almost everytime I've opened it. No auto-mount at all and even no mount. I can't mount any USB-drive at all. May be someone can help me? The new pcmanfm2 seems really sensitive to incorrect config files. It also crashed when showing hidden is enable. When I create symlinks to the Desktop, they don't work. Symlinks are also not implemented yet on pcmanfm2. 2) unreadahead gives me a lot of errors during startup. Do you have the same with a Ubuntu live-cd ? 3) fskbsetting after installation (I think it should be included by default) gives me segmentation fault and won't work. So I can't switch from US to any other language using lxpanel-plugin. Where do you find the fskbsetting ?

However, there are some problems: 1) by default, there is no keyboard layout controller on the panel. I think, that it should be there. A lot of people uses it in everyday's life. I don't think people change the layout of their keyboard very often. However, there is no easy way to configure this behavior. 2) as for battery monitor on the panel: it should be visible by default. This empty space looks really strange. It's a bug in gnome-power-manager. 3) there is still pcmanfm 0.5.2, not pcmanfm2( In progress. 4) you have included osmo as a default program. My friends and me haven't heard about this program before. And in everyday life may be it is not so necessary to be included, I think. It's something to deal with calendar, tasks, contacts etc ... It could be useful for a bunch of people. 5) without installing packages xscreensaver-gl, xscreensaver-gl-extra, xscreensaver-data-extra I see a lot of error messages telling me that there is no directory /usr/share/backgrounds. It is annoying. I know, It's also annoying for me. I fixed it before, last upload re-introduce the bug. 6) when I launch lxterminal, appeared the window without any string like this: ubu...@ubuntu:~/. But when you hit any key on the keyboard it appears unexpectably. I can't reproduce the problem. you should report a bug under lxterminal. 7) some buttons such as OK, Cancel just don't work (only hitting Close Window helped me to close the windows). It is so when you are configuring panel for example. Please report bugs under programs which are affected, with the exact windows affected. 8) you have used LXDM as a login manager. It is perfect, but it has serious problems: - when I enable autologin on it, I just can't switch my keyboard layout by hitting on the applet on the panel. Only typing sudo lxpanelctl restart helped me. - there is no gui-program to configure LXDM yet. For a lot of people it will be hard to understand what do if they want enable autologin or so on. For now, nothing exist, even upstream. It's something on the TODO list but siomeone need to code it. See bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxdm/+bug/518415 - using LXDM I can't modify PATH variable (even modifying file /etc/profile), so I can't play any games using menu (Menu-Games-...). It won't work. 9) sound card by default doesn't work. So, I have gone to alsa-project.org, downloaded the latest driver, lib and utils, installed it. Run sudo alsaconf and after reboot I heart the sound. It's an alsa bug, not specific to Lubuntu. I think alsa was updated recently on Lucid, maybe it will be fixed for the next update. 10) I've got ati radeon 4670 video, but when I tried to install xorg-driver-fglrx, it tells me that he wants to remove xorg with all its dependencies. Strange behaviour. So, I have only poor 3D now( Surely a temporary problem, Lubuntu is still based on Lucid, which is unstable :) 11) I've tried to install fskbsetting. But when launching it gives me segmentation fault. I don't know why. You should report a bug on this package. 12) May be there should be some games, at least some gnome-games? gnome-games have too much depends on gnome stuff.

In the first alpha stage it was working with NM-applet with the latest kernel upgrade. Tonight I will try again using PPP or wvdial. Somebody talk about games.. where is the tread?? :-D I really need 2 games that is really working on my netbook :-D Gdebi installer would be nice or something like that in Lubuntu?? And does Gdebi really help for people that has no internet. Because in Indonesia not everybody can affort internet connection. And even if they have it,it will be cellphone using as modems.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Hi! It's great! Nice artwork! Respect for including such applications as hardware drivers, printing, languages by default. It now looks very user-friendly. However, there are some minor problems: 1) a lot of errors when changing screensavers. It can be solved by creating directory /usr/share/backgrounds by default. 2) as was discussed earlier when clicking Desktop Session Settings the tab Desktop should be opened, not Interface. 3) why have you choosen xfburn to include? I think that the most popular area for installing LXDE (and of course Lubuntu) are netbooks and they just don't have any CD/DVD-ROMs... In my opinion, it is unnecessary. I have tested on my netbook HP 1233 - everything is working perfectly, and using by default 110 Mb out of 1Gb is impressive (with Ubuntu 9.10 mini.iso + LXDE it uses after startup nearly 155 Mb). However, if there is xsplash I haven't seen it, may be because of my videocard (Via Chrome9), I don't know. I have also tried to run livecd on my notebook Asus M51TR. However, all that I have seen was Lubuntu logo for approximately 1 minute after what there came a kernel panic. I'll try to find solution but exactly now I don't know why it is happening so. In conclusion, I would like to say that it looks perfect and amazing. Thank you!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Ok, i built up an old System with Pentium (i don't know if II or IV, 360 MHz) and 128 MBytes of RAM. It Takes very Long to boot and it First seems like the pc wouldnt respond any more, but about 10 minutes with Black screen you can see the panel and the Cursor- no Desktop and no icons there. I didnt realize the arrow-Symbol to be the One for network, maybe we should use another one. The System itself is extremely slow, but thats the hardware (im just used to my 4gb RAM:-)) maybe we could use something else for the graphics , like kolourpaint or so. The People we aim at are used to ms paint, and what we offer them in lubuntu is too complicated. Ill go on in testing and ill write again later.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] New testing ISO 20100215
Here is a quick report on the current cut on an older laptop. HP Omnibook 910 PIII 500 MHz 320 MB Memory with 3Com 3CCFEM556B 10/100 PC Card and SMC 2835W wireless card Lubuntu seems to boot fine, a little slow, but it looks nice on the old LCD. Eraser head style mouse seems to work fine. However, I could not seem to find a way to configure the wireless card. That is when I checked, and the distro is not detecting either of the two PC cards in the system. So no report on browser speed. The system did not automatically mount a flash drive. I was able to mount manually. Sound does work; I was able to play an ogg file via mplayer off of the flash drive. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the report. Le lundi 15 février 2010 à 18:54 +0300, Mike Nokel a écrit : However, there are some minor problems: 1) a lot of errors when changing screensavers. It can be solved by creating directory /usr/share/backgrounds by default. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/129769 2) as was discussed earlier when clicking Desktop Session Settings the tab Desktop should be opened, not Interface. It's part of the pcmanfm2 integration, should be fixed at this point. 3) why have you choosen xfburn to include? I think that the most popular area for installing LXDE (and of course Lubuntu) are netbooks and they just don't have any CD/DVD-ROMs... In my opinion, it is unnecessary. There is also old hardware with old CD burner. It's pretty common to have a CD/DVD burner by default :) I have tested on my netbook HP 1233 - everything is working perfectly, and using by default 110 Mb out of 1Gb is impressive (with Ubuntu 9.10 mini.iso + LXDE it uses after startup nearly 155 Mb). However, if there is xsplash I haven't seen it, may be because of my videocard (Via Chrome9), I don't know. It's now plymouth which is used. It required kernel mode-settings, available for ATI, Intel and for Nvidia via the nouveau driver. If it's not available, you should fallback to a blue progress bar. I have also tried to run livecd on my notebook Asus M51TR. However, all that I have seen was Lubuntu logo for approximately 1 minute after what there came a kernel panic. I'll try to find solution but exactly now I don't know why it is happening so. That will be interesting to test with a Ubuntu daily build, to see if it's not a general problem for Lucid.
