Can you provide a complete set of steps to reproduce, please? Make sure you log all the way out, or reboot, after making a change to it. I tried changing them yesterday and must have done something wrong. Today I tried the same method and /etc/environment takes effect if there is no .profile. I do notice though that /etc/skel has .profile instead of .pam_environment. Should that be changed?

Re: Default Programs to 13.10 and 14.04
As a video player, I use SMplayer, a quite good piece of software... Lately I installed VLC, but only to get the repeat function... 2013/6/14 Nio Wiklund nio.wikl...@gmail.com On 2013-06-13 22:05, Lars Nooden wrote: On Thu, 13 Jun 2013, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wrote: [snip] vlc [snip] I appreciate VLC very much but haven't tried it on the lower-end machines. It covers both audio and video so might take the place of two applications. I should take a closer look at Audacious and GnomeMplayer to better be able to form an opinion. Regards, /Lars In some low end computers VLC plays video choppy where mplayer plays it well. So I think there is reason to keep mplayer in Lubuntu. (I think that mplayer2 is bundled with Lubuntu and it is faster than mplayer (svn).) But I agree that VLC is a good multimedia player, more polished than mplayer, and I have both of them installed.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Saucy artwork
Do you have some name of theme in mind that we should include ? Do you think we can use some XFCE or GNOME ones as it, or do we have to make some changes to them to behave nicely on Lubuntu ? Regards, Julien Lavergne Sorry for the delay in responding. It looks like someone already found a theme and the issue seems to be disk space. I do not know if there are also compatibility issues. I just wanted to place the request but unfortunately do not know if there are technical issues in importing such a theme from a generic Gnome or other distro.

Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Saucy artwork
Hi Frenando, the new theme is available in the Saucy ISO's at http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/270/builds if you want to give it a try :) Regards, Phill.

The application would be just as affected by copyright as a closed-source proprietary application. However, one of the barriers is the US. Being developed/distributed in the EU, VLC is not affected by patents, but any of our end users in the Americas would have trouble. http://www.videolan.org/legal.html VLC is covered by the GPL so it would be allowed to make a bifurcated edition with the US-problematic bits in a separate package but I lack the skill for that. So it looks like the most we can do is mention VLC in the slide show, if we don't want to exclude US users from getting Lubuntu.

Re: ~/.profile vs ~/.pam_environment
On Fri, 14 Jun 2013, Jonathan Marsden wrote: no instead of relationship between them. I don't understand why you think there is. /etc/environment (and ~/.pam_environment) will be used (via PAM) whether or not .profile exists for the user concerned. One is executed by PAM, one is executed by a login shell. It seems to be explained as an instead of situation in the wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#Session-wide_environment_variables So maybe that is in need of correction. If you configure things so both /etc/environment *and* ~/.profile affect the same variable, then ~/.profile is likely to win, because (as far as I know) it is executed later than /etc/environment. I would try to avoid relying on that ordering, though. What you are describing about /etc/environment takes effect if there is no .profile is not how things are supposed to work. If you have a situation where the existence of a file ~/.profile suppresses the use of ~/.pam_environment at login, I need a clear description of steps to reproduce so I can look into it... Both get used. Regards, /Lars -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

But nowhere does it say if *this* file exists, *that* other file won't be used, which is what you were saying was happening (I think). The wiki page says (to me) that all of those files will be used, if they exist, in different ways and at slightly different times. How would you re-word the wiki text to make it clearer that these files do not interfere with or suppress each other?

Nova-tuner a system optimization tool
Hello: I would like to introduce an application that I have been developing for the Nova Light Linux distribution (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_%28operating_system%29). It is a sort of system tuner that offers a simple interface to optimize some aspects of a GNU/Linux distribution derived from Debian (such has Lubuntu). The source code is available at git://github.com/azubieta/nova-tunner.git. It can be used on firstboot in order to optimize the system and remove unnecesary services, run prelink, remove ttys and define the swappines criteria. I hope it could be useful to you.
