[Lubuntu-desktop] I: Lsc 55
Hi everybody, i was just thinking about the use of a sort of 'notebook' for the Get/Installed software and the apps basket. this is the mockup of the elementary app center -http://elementaryositde v.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/appcenterfront1.png -, look at the second 'toolbar' (with Get New Apps, Installed Apps...) i think it could be a good solution to focus the attention on the apps l ist and so on. then we can also add the clean section to this toolbar, so a new user wi ll think: Ok, this is a notebook bar, when i choose a page i'll jump di rectly to it please let me know what you think.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] I: Lsc 55
I believe we should keep it simple and small, we have keep in mind that we have users with old computers (with old monitors?) and small laptops (ultra-/notebooks). Big images and screenshots will make the app frustrating to use, we need to be careful how and when we use them, else we might ruin the LSC experience for our users. Here is a very quick mockup[1], but it gives you an idea how I visualize LSC. Regards, Alex.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Oneiric Beta 2 released
Hi Julien and everyone, I have decided to download and install Lubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 and test it on my Two PCs (P4 each but one with 2GB and the other with 512MB RAM but I decided to use only 256MB RAM for this test). I'm done with the installation on PC1 and will install it later on PC2. I'm writing this from Lubuntu 11.10 Beta 2 and so far I'm happy with it :) Two Qs: 1) If I want to send my notes regarding my tests, can I do that here on this email? or start a new one and send it to lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net?? 2) Where is Lubuntu Software Center? can't find it??!!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Oneiric Beta 2 released
Hi Ali, to get LSC, you need to add the lubuntu-desktop ppa. * http://ppa.launchpad.net/lubuntu-desktop/ppa/ubuntu oneiric *to your repositry. Now, if like me, the gpg key fails manually add it using the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/KeyServerInformationOnce you refresh Synaptics, lubuntu-software-center will be available to you :) Regards, Phill.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install lubuntu-software-center Done :) I prefer to use The Terminal but sometimes use Synaptic. Software Center never was or will be my cup of tea. However, for the sake of testing, I'll do my best to report any error or bug :) Thanks Phill. @Julien: Still waiting for your green-light to send my notes :) I'm having some hard time with 256MB of RAM but I'm doing that purposely ;) I want to see how Lubuntu will work on such low RAM.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Evaluate a new build system, CMake.
Hi, Since many people agreed that autotools is aged, horribly slow, complicated, poorly documented, and hard to use correctly, I'm currently doing some experiments with CMake, yet another build system. KDE uses CMake since 4.0 and many other projects are migrating to it. However, CMake has no built-in support for intltools, which is extensively used in LXDE for translations. In additon, few people use it with gtk+ programs written in C. Fortunately, it's easy to extend CMake so I wrote a module for intltools and created a simple gtk+ project. Now it works well. I added a small project in lxde/devtools repo for demo. http://lxde.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lxde/devtools;a=tree;f=gtk_cmake_test;h=ef2ea280444f8553e8a13b9053d216f8a46beb67;hb=HEAD To build the demo project. mkdir build cd build cmake ../ make sudo make install What we will get if we migrate to CMake: 1. colorful build log with progress display (in percent) 2. very fast!! much faster than autotools 3. clean source tree. No more autogen.sh, configure.ac, Makefile.am, and many mysterious files. 4. well documented syntax with good readability. No more m4 macros mixed with shell script. 5. easy to write, maintain, debug, and extend. 6. many user-contributed modules exists on internet 7. out of source build which does not pollute the source tree with generated files 8. CMake is cross-platform. It can generate makefiles even for Windows. What we will lose (but these are not hard to solve): 1. some nice tools designed for autotools integration, such as gtk-docize, intltoolize, However, writing modules to support them is not difficult. 2. the build process may change a little. there will be no configure make. use cmake ../ make 3. many Makefile.am and configure.ac need rewrite 4. some feature checking macros provided by autoconf may not be available in cmake and needs some work. After playing with CMake for two days, I found it easy to use and extend. It's a quite handy build system. I can understand why KDE switches to it. It may be helpful for our project if we can use CMake to replace autotools. After all, autotools create as many problems as that is solves. Sometimes debugging automake stuff takes more time than real coding and this greatly decrease productivity. So I'd suggest a migration to CMake. Any comment? From package maintainers' perspective, will using CMake make packaging process more difficult? If the answer is no, I'd suggest a migration and deprecate autotools. Thanks. ___ 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
