The GUI frontend nm-applet is not Gnome only, too. It works quite well outside Gnome. The only one thing it might need gnome is gnome-keyring for authentication, but this is inevitable for usability reasons. ___ 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

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Lxde-list] about lubuntu...
Wrong list. Please join and ask there. Besides, network manager has better compatibility with many kinds of hardware. Wicd works well, but it doesn't always work on some machines.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Bug in Lubuntu Lucid Beta 1
I am experiencing the following on my installation of Lubuntu 10.04 Beta 1. Upon cold boot from being powered off, Network Manager does not reconnect to my WiFi network. I have to select the Network Manager icon, select my network's access point, and input my security key. Then, a message pops up about the Default Keyring and I have to input my password. Finally after this, it connects to my network. As noted above, I am running Lubuntu Lucid Beta 1, downloaded and installed yesterday, Sunday, March 21st, 2010. I installed it to my machine via USB, having built the USB stick off the ISO, using UNETBOOTIN on my Ubuntu Jaunty desktop. The machine to which I have Lubuntu Lucid Beta 1 installed is an Asus Eee PC 900 netbook. It is the version with a single, 16GB SSD and was originally equipped with Windows XP Home (many moons ago). I have upgraded the system's RAM to 2GB, and have replaced the battery with an aftermarket version of higher capacity, but aside from that, it is stock. It runs a 900MHz Celeron-M CPU, 2GB DDR2-533MHz RAM, Intel 900GMA graphics processor, and an Atheros 802.11b/g wireless card. This aside, I am, so far, quite pleased with Lubuntu Lucid Beta 1. It boots exceptionally fast on my diminutive netbook, and I can only imagine what it must be like on a full scale machine with the latest in CPU and RAM.

There is no universal solution, even for Ubuntu. Knoppix (based on LXDE) has a modified Xrandr with 3 easy buttons to either choose to have both screens cloningmode on, screen 0 on only or screen 1 on only. The advanced Tab looks like the one we ship now. From the usability point of view this would be a better solution as we ship now. From the technical point of view: This will work out of the box with , intel, ati & nvidia cards (all using the opensource drivers , nvidia the new nouveau one). We should ship this one, if we find the source. I cannot find it on the knoppix repo.
