Title:
  JPG photo not viewable via default image viewer, but opens fine via
  Firefox

Status in mtpaint package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Lubuntu i386 daily build downloaded approx 36hours ago.

  In documenting a separate bug, I took a photo via the inbuilt camera
  in my Nokia dumbphone. Low-res, small image size. Transferred from
  phone & saved to desktop.

  Opening that JPG in Image Viewer brings up the error message "Error
  interpreting JPEG image file (Application transferred too few
  scanlines)", yet the image is perfectly viewable in Firefox.

  Have attached the JPG in question to this bug report - the contents of
  this photo are also relevant to Bug 1747341.

  Thanks,
  Ken.

[Lubuntu-admins] [Bug 1751525] Re: lubuntu-default-settings 0.54 bionic wrecks QT apps gui (jasp and octave)

[Simon Quigley]

This is probably not lubuntu-default-settings; it was likely a change
that occurred in the large amount of time between those two uploads.

Why do you think it's lubuntu-default-settings?

The slideshow shows the intended image on upgrade to 113.1, on the
latest Lubuntu Xenial Daily ISO.

This is what was intended, so I'm marking this as passed.

Bug description:
  [Impact/Test Case]
  The Lubuntu slideshow should have a screenshot with the Lubuntu.me website 
(as this is what gets up-to-date information). Right now it has a Lubuntu.net 
screenshot, which is inaccurate and does not represent the project well.

  [Regression Potential]
  None, this is simply replacing an image in the slideshow. Unless the 
underlying tooling changes, this shouldn't break.

  [Additional Note]
  Lubuntu considers this a blocker to releasing 16.04.4.

[Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu 17.04 has reached End of Life

[Simon Quigley]

The Lubuntu Team announces that as a non-LTS release, 17.04 has a
9-month support cycle and, as such, reached end of life on Saturday,
January 13, 2018. Lubuntu will no longer provide bug fixes or security
updates for 17.04, and we strongly recommend that you update to 17.10,
which continues to be actively supported with security updates and
select high-impact bug fixes.

For more important information about this End of Life notice, take a
look at the announcement on the official Lubuntu website:

[Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu 17.10.1 (Artful Aardvark) released!

[Simon Quigley]

Lubuntu 17.10.1 has been released to fix a major problem affecting many
Lenovo laptops that causes the computer to have BIOS problems after
installing. You can find more details about this problem here[1].

*Please note that the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities have not been
fixed in this ISO, so we advise that if you install this ISO, update
directly after.*

This release is no different in terms of features from the 17.10
release, and is comparable to an LTS point release in that all updates
since the 17.10 release have been rolled into this ISO. You can find the
initial announcement here[2].

You can download 17.10.1 ISOs here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/17.10.1/release/

Many thanks to Lubuntu's testers (especially the ones from Google
Code-In, that was a great help!) and Steve Langasek from the Ubuntu
Release Team for making this happen!

[Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu Seeds are now in Git

[Simon Quigley]

Hello everyone!

Lubuntu's Development Team has decided to convert Lubuntu's seeds to Git
from Bazaar. So where you would see independent branches like this:
https://code.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/lubuntu.bionic
You will now see different Git branches in one central Git repository:
https://git.launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/lubuntu
If you prefer viewing things in Phabricator, we have mirrored it there
too: http://phab.lubuntu.me/source/lubuntu-seed/

This change has been made on the metapackage side in 0.87 and on, and
any future lubuntu-meta SRUs should probably consider doing this
conversion as well.

We're the first flavor to do this, so hiccups shouldn't be out of the
question, but overall this should be a fairly low-impact change.

Happy holidays!

What you seem to fail to understand is that we have been attempting to
get your closed site, Lubuntu.net/org, into official, open, Lubuntu Team
hands for more than a year now. But once 17.10 was out of the way, and
after several discussions with the Ubuntu Community Council, both public
and private, we decided to take legal action as a last resort. For the
sake of transparency (and since this does not include replies from
Legal), this was our email:

> Hello Canonical Legal Team,

After this email was sent, we received a follow-up saying that they
would make some enquiries. After this happened, you:
 1. Stole the artwork and screenshots of Rafael Laguna, who, rightfully,
has explicit written permission to use the Lubuntu trademark, and is the
origin of these images and screenshots.
 2. Created several social media accounts and resources which the
Lubuntu Team has no control over promoting your new site which you stole
the artwork and screenshots from.
 3. FOSSASIA (which, I would like to officially say, has no affiliation
with the official Lubuntu Project in any way, shape, or form) created a

[Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) released!

[Simon Quigley]

Thanks to all the hard work from our contributors, Lubuntu 17.10 has
been released! With the codename Artful Aardvark, Lubuntu 17.10 is the
13th release of Lubuntu, with support until July of 2018.


  What is Lubuntu?

*Lubuntu* is an official *Ubuntu* flavor based on the Lightweight X11
Desktop Environment (LXDE). The project’s goal is to provide a
lightweight yet functional distribution. *Lubuntu* specifically targets
older machines with lower resources, but also runs great on newer
hardware. Along with a simple but usable graphical user interface,
*Lubuntu* comes with a wide variety of applications chosen for their
small footprint so you can browse, email, chat, play, and be productive.


  Where can I download it?

On the *Ubuntu* cdimage server
, we have
images for the following architectures:

  * amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit)
  * i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit)

The release notes are here
 if you
wish to read them. We have left out some notes that are common to all
flavors, so read the *Ubuntu* release notes
 if you wish.


  What’s improved since 17.04?

  * We now ship with Linux Kernel 4.13.
  * General bug fix release as we prepare to switch to LXQt.
  * LXDE components have been updated with bug fixes.
  * The artwork has received an update.
  * The latest release of Audacious, 3.9, is included by default.
  * Hardinfo has been updated to the latest upstream snapshot.


  System Requirements

*Lubuntu* is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for
all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule
of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old
(although some older computers are known to work as well).

  * *Memory (RAM)*: for advanced internet services like Google+,
YouTube, Google Drive, and Facebook, your computer needs at least 1
GB of RAM. For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing
habits, your computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM.
  * *Processor (CPU)*: the minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or
Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and the AMD K7
has problems with Flash video.


  How do I get support?

We recommend that you email the lubuntu-users mailing list. Send an
email to lubuntu-users AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com.

If you prefer IRC, our support channel is #lubuntu on freenode IRC
. If you don’t
have an IRC client, click the link in the earlier sentence, type in a
nickname, press start, state your question and press Enter to speak. *If
your question is not answered right away, stick around, and if you don’t
get an answer, email the lubuntu-users list.*


  How do I contribute?

We always need more help! If you would like to contribute, head over to
our Getting Involved page
. If you have any
questions about contributing, please join #lubuntu-devel on freenode or
email the lubuntu-devel mailing list at lubuntu-devel AT lists DOT

  Known Issues

For known issues, please see the release notes
.


  Lubuntu Next

Alongside *Lubuntu* 17.10 featuring LXDE, the *Lubuntu* Team is proud to
announce an early adopter’s release of *Lubuntu* Next, featuring the
LXQt 0.11.1 Desktop Environment, which is the Qt 5 port of LXDE. *While
this release is available to install using the links below, we do NOT
recommend that people use it in production unless they are aware of the
somewhat critical bugs associated (which are more than 10 at the point
of writing this). It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to be in contact with
us as well*. A rule of thumb is that if you do not know what we are
talking about, don’t install it quite yet.

You can install *Lubuntu* Next by using the links available on the
cdimage server
 or by using
the Minimal ISO for 17.10 and selecting the Lubuntu Qt desktop
.

If you would like to connect with us on various platforms, we have

[Lubuntu-admins] [Bug 1719825] Re: [Ffe] sdl2 2.0.6

[Simon Quigley]

With my Lubuntu hat on, no complaints here.

Title:
  [Ffe] sdl2 2.0.6

Status in libsdl2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  We should get sdl 2.0.6 in Ubuntu too.

  Bug fix only release ABI compatible (including crash fixes and buffer
  overflow fixes)

  libsdl2 has also a new vulkan compatible driver, I think we should get
  it into artful too, but I'm also open to disable it (having a new
  delta from Debian)

  new functions should be "Ffe safe" sine the ABI is kept stable, and
  nobody uses them

Was this present with 17.04 or any other 17.10 milestones?

[Lubuntu-admins] Call for testing: Artful Aardvark Final Beta

[Simon Quigley]

Hello everybody, it's that time again! The Lubuntu team needs your help
testing Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Beta 2 (the final beta) so we can
release tomorrow.

We need the tests completed that are on the ISO QA Tracker[1] to ensure
that everything works properly. If all the Lubuntu tests are done,
please feel free to help out our friends over at the other flavors. They
would appreciate help as well. :)

Within the next day I will be working on the release notes[2]. Check
back tomorrow if you want to proofread/confirm the notes. If you found
any new bugs, please link to them on the release notes.

I'll also be working on preparing the release notes and announcement for
Lubuntu Next, as I plan on releasing that as well.

If you found any other way to help that hasn't been listed above,
respond to this email, send me an email, or join #lubuntu-devel on
freenode[3] and ask there.

Thanks again everyone!

[Lubuntu-admins] Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 2 has been released!

[Simon Quigley]

Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 2 (soon to be 17.10) has been released!
Also in this release (in addition to the usual LXDE ISO) is an
experimental image with LXQt instead of LXDE.

For the LXDE edition, we have a couple papercuts listed in the release
notes[1], so please take a look there.

You can grab the Lubuntu images from here:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/artful/alpha-2/

*We recommend that if you install Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 2, that
you download the LXDE edition rather than the experimental LXQt ISO. The
LXQt ISO will most likely break your system.*

If you would like to read the release notes for Lubuntu Next (the
*experimental* LXQt edition of Lubuntu), you can find them here[2]. The
release notes lists all of the known issues for the images.

You can grab the *experimental* Lubuntu Next images from here:

14) from 2 PM to 3 PM CDT, or 19:00 to 20:00 UTC. Please expect this
meeting to go on for more than this hour-long timeframe, as we have a
lot to talk about.

Apologies for the short notice. If everyone can't make it, we can have
the meeting on Friday, April 21 from 2 PM to 3 PM CDT, or 19:00 to 20:00

[Lubuntu-admins] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Lubuntu 17.04 has been released!

[Simon Quigley]

Thanks to all the hard work from our contributors, Lubuntu 17.04 has
been released! With the codename Zesty Zapus, Lubuntu 17.04 is the 12th
release of Lubuntu, with support until of January 2018.

WHAT IS LUBUNTU?

Lubuntu is an official Ubuntu flavor based on the Lightweight X11
Desktop Environment (LXDE). The project’s goal is to provide a
lightweight yet functional distribution. Lubuntu specifically targets
older machines with lower resources, but also runs great on newer
hardware. Along with a simple but usuable graphical user interface,
Lubuntu comes with a wide variety of applications chosen for their small
footprint so you can browse, email, chat, play, and be productive.

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT?

On the Ubuntu cdimage server[1], we have images for the following
architectures:
 - amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit)
 - i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit)

The release notes are here if you wish to read them[2]. We have left out
some notes that are common to all flavors, so read the Ubuntu release
notes[3] if you wish.

WHAT'S IMPROVED SINCE 16.10?

 - We now ship with Linux Kernel 4.10.
 - General bug fix release as we prepare to switch to LXQt.
 - LXDE components have been updated with bug fixes.
 - The artwork has received an update.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Lubuntu is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for
all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule
of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old.

*Memory (RAM)*

For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Drive, and
Facebook, your computer needs at least 1 GB of RAM.

For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your
computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM.

*Processor (CPU)*

The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8.
Older processors are too slow and the AMD K7 has problems with Flash video.

HOW DO I GET SUPPORT?

We recommend that you email the lubuntu-users mailing list. Send an
email to lubuntu-users AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com.

If you prefer IRC, our support channel is #lubuntu on freenode IRC[4].
If you don’t have an IRC client, click the link in the earlier sentence,
type in a nickname, press start, state your question and press Enter to
speak.

HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE?

We always need more help! If you would like to contribute, head over to
our Getting Involved page[5]. If you have any questions about
contributing, please join #lubuntu-devel on freenode or email the
lubuntu-devel mailing list at lubuntu-devel AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com.

KNOWN ISSUES

For known issues, please see the release notes[2].

LXQt

Unfortunately, we could not get LXQt ready in time for 17.04, so Lubuntu
17.04 ships with LXDE.

[Lubuntu-admins] Next Lubuntu Team Meeting

[Simon Quigley]

Hello everyone!

It's been a long time since we've held a meeting for the Lubuntu team,
and I think we're due for another one. We have so much to talk about,
from LXQt, the release of 17.04, etc. so this meeting might last more
than an hour.

I've created a Doodle poll[1] that I would like feedback from the people
I directly sent this email to, at the minimum. I would appreciate it if
you could submit your times as soon as possible, because the sooner that
happens, the sooner we can get an agenda planned. I'll follow up on this
email once that has happened.

Thanks for your time!

[Lubuntu-admins] Call for testing: Lubuntu 17.04 FINAL images

[Simon Quigley]

We're nearing April 13th, the release date for Lubuntu 17.04. We need your help
in testing Lubuntu 17.04 so we can release on Thursday.

The Lubuntu team needs help testing to make sure that the ISO boots and installs
the system correctly, and can reboot into a Lubuntu desktop without any critical
errors.

We strongly recommend that you use real hardware, not virtual machines. While
virtual machines are useful, complete testing includes watching out for edge 
cases.

To install Lubuntu, grab an image, write it to a USB drive (or burn it to a DVD)
and follow the instructions listed on the ISO QA tracker[1]. When you begin
testing, mark the test case as "In Progress" and after following the
instructions, make sure to edit your result and indicate if it was successful or
if you ran into any problems.

If you see that the images are already tested, don't let that discourage you. We
would like to see more than one successful result for each test case, so feel
free to test it again. Also, don't be afraid to help out any other flavors that
are missing submissions -- the process for doing this is pretty universal.

If you find any new bugs that haven't been reported on the release notes for
Final Beta, please file a bug report and add it to the release notes.

Please watch out and heavily test the following two things:

 - We have a new LXPanel, please make sure it works properly.
 - Ubuntu has switched the underlying DNS resolver to systemd-resolved, so
please test that DNS works properly on all of your systems.

Lastly, I'll be working on the release notes[2] within the next couple of days.
Please don't be afraid to correct any problems you might find.

Happy testing!

Re: [Lubuntu-admins] Ending Lubuntu Zesty Daily PowerPC Builds

[Simon Quigley]

Hello,

> Will they also be removed from the testing tracker?

Just for Zesty, yes. The Xenial daily PowerPC builds will still be on the 
tracker.

> Works for me. Is it just this one time?

This time would be for the October-January meetings, if that's alright with
everyone.

I would then propose a new time that fits with my schedule for the second
semester of school.

[Lubuntu-admins] What I didn't get a chance to talk about at the meeting

[Simon Quigley]

Hello everyone,

I had a few agenda items I wanted to discuss at the recent Lubuntu
meeting, but unfortunately I didn't do the math right on the time zones
and I ended up not being able to attend.

BUG DAY:

Walter wanted a report on Bug Day, but to make it short, nothing
happened. Nobody seemed to pop in on IRC, and I didn't see any bug
activity in particular.

LUBUNTU MANUAL:

Slow progress (been busy with a lot of different things). I would always
appreciate the help. Here's the GitHub repo which should have all the
details if you'd like to give us a hand:
https://github.com/lubuntu-team/lubuntu-manual

I don't think it applies to DocumentationStringFreeze (which was today)
because it's not a package. If it all goes as planned, there will be
time before release to translate, if desired.

LXQt/PLANS FOR 16.10 AND 17.04:

We won't get LXQt 0.11 in the archive for 16.10 because they didn't
release yet. Hopefully for 17.04 we'll be good to go. I've heard that
LXQt 0.11 provides a lot of  improvements, so I'm looking forward to it. :)

(maybe I'll get it in a PPA somewhere and take it for a test drive, who
knows? ;) )

Lubuntu team, I would like to propose that we at the very minimum
provide an image with a fully featured Lubuntu with LXQt for 17.04 (if
not default). This would include LXQt 0.11 (or 0.12, depending on their
timing) and would have all the default settings set. Even if we can't do
it, it would be a nice goal to set, just to have something to work towards.

It seems we're just waiting on a patch to be merged into Qt[1] so we can
set an environment variable to make our default settings apply
correctly[2]. Then, depending on when it's merged and what version of Qt
ships with 17.04, we might have to get the patch cherry-picked[3]. I'm
CCing Palo Kisa who has been awesome in helping me figure out a few
little quirks along the way (for example, this pull request which will
really help us in the future: https://github.com/lxde/liblxqt/pull/104
), just in case he has anything to add. But, I honestly don't see this
happening right away as 16.10 is right around the corner (we can use
PPAs to test, though).

Something to consider would be doing what Kubuntu does. If an individual
running 16.10 would like to use LXQt from the Yakkety archive, we can
upload to a backports PPA. Thoughts on this, Julien?

Within the next day or two, I'll get a tarball and some instructions on
installing LXQt and manually applying the default settings I whipped up,
so people can get testing. I haven't had a good experience building
ISOs, but I'll try again in a few days as well.

For those people who are unaware, we currently have a blocker in our
LXQt transition. We would like to apply some default settings, but there
are currently some upstream blockers (Qt at the moment, there might be
another blocker in the future, who knows?) that we have to unblock to be
able to continue.

Lubuntu team (especially Julien), objections?

Lubuntu community, about the above, more opportunities to test things
will certainly come very soon (within the next few weeks). We look
forward to any feedback you might have. :)

I encourage feedback on anything I wrote about here.

Have a good night everyone!

[1] https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/169245/
[2] An environment variable has to be set so LXQt knows which settings
to use.
[3] Just that patch could be put in the Ubuntu Qt package, which allows
for things like this to be immediately worked with.

I would like to propose that this time be changed to Wednesday, 12
October 2016 from 17:15-18:15 UTC. This way I'll be able to make it.
That's 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM my time, and my lunch hour is from 12:15 PM
to 1:06 PM.

Thoughts from everyone? I CCed the usual people who attend to get their
thoughts specifically as well. Who can't make it?

Sorry for the short notice, life has gotten in the way lately.

Re: [Lubuntu-admins] [lubuntu-devel] [lubuntu-users] Check In With CC Reminder

[Simon Quigley]

Hello Daniel/Community Council,

It was proposed to us to have a check-in with the Community Council on
July 7th, 2016. What time of day did you have in mind? This will allow
us to ensure everybody can attend.
