Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Is it acceptable to add even more new strings to PCManFM at this time?

It's not easy for beginners to figure out what the menu items do. I just learned how to add tooltips for menu items and show them in status bar. If we can add proper tooltips for menu items, this can greatly improve usability. I know we're in string freeze, but is it acceptable to add even more new strings to PCManFM at this time? The number of strings that needed to be added is about 30 ~ 40. This is quite important for usability. Since currently PCManFM is still in beta and its quality didn't meet the requirements of a stable release, we won't have a stable release or release candidate very soon. So we still have time to finish all the translation prior to final release. Opinions from translators? If you guys allow me to do so, I'll add them later and inform you on the mailing list when I've done it. Otherwise, I'll leave them in a git branch. But I'm a little bit worry about git branch because it doesn't seem to work well with some translation systems and there might be conflicts in the future. If these new strings are not going to be added this time, I'll release pcmanfm 0.9.5 in about two days. Anyways, I want to know what you think. So translations please share your ideas with me. Thanks! Hmmm, I’d prefer 0.9.5 out as soon as possible and the tool tips added to the next version. This would gives us a reasonably bug free version for Lubuntu. -- Steve (Yorvyk) http://www.lubuntu.net ___ 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
[Lubuntu-desktop] BUGS: VISUDO PERMISSION NOT WORKING
Visudo permissions do not work. I tried to give myself permissions for password-free actions typing sudo visudo in a terminal (e.g. to hibernate using a shortcut (launcher) myusername ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/pm-hibernate or myusername ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/srm to make a secure-delete trashcan). It does not work, the same command and launcher worked in Debian and Puppy but not in Lubuntu. It works, however, if I already signed in with password in a terminal or Synaptic.

Try sudo -k in a terminal followed by sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate in a terminal and see whether it prompts you for your password. -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ 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] BUGS: VISUDO PERMISSION NOT WORKING
Thats a really bad idea and destroys system security completely. I strongly advise nobody to do this, its a REALLY bad idea.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Quicktime not working

Hi, Before the final release, I updated the wiki [1] to be easier to use. I hope you will like it. The documentation part is still very limited.

We have w32codecs installed along with restricted extras and the Chromium extra package. Anybody any ideas? Apple has changed the Quicktime sites (especially the trailers) to only accept clients which are sending the right quicktime id (version string). I wrote a little shell script to fix the quicktime support for zevenos a few weeks ago. Its simply a call for mplayer + the right version string. So if you want to play a quicktime trailer go to the trailers site, copy the link to the mov or mp4 file, open up a terminal type in sh /path/to/script/quicktime and paste in the url (sometimes you need to shorten out the width and heigths added after the mov video url) . It works very well, also with the quicktime keynote streams. (udp over http is enabled for them to work) Ubuntu uses gstreamer and the totem plugin to make it work. Obviously they included a patch for this. The mplayerplugin needs to be patched to make it work again inside the browser. So not really a fix for now, just a work around. quicktime Description: application/shellscript ___ 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
