[Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
If I were to use the Ubuntu 64-bit Alternate CD, do just a command line install, and then pull in the lubuntu-desktop package, would I have a workable 64-bit Lubuntu? It will be a few days before my AMD system is up and running again, so I can't test this at the moment. A related question would be if there is an official 64-bit version planned? All other *buntu versions have both 32- and 64-bit options, so I would guess that would be an expectation of Canonical's for inclusion?

Yes thats on way to get 64bit Lubuntu. You want a minimal amount of stuff installing to then install the metapackage. Your networking will need to be workable from command line too.

Will this testing benefit the project, or would it be best to wait until you actually do a 64-bit version (if you do)? ___ 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

Well if you want it now then the minimal ubuntu install is the way to go to get 64bit Lubuntu. Depends if you can wait or not :) On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 2:40 PM, Bob Trevithick bob.trevith...@gmail.comwrote: On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 9:34 AM, Andrew Woodhead andrew.woodhead...@googlemail.com wrote: Yes thats on way to get 64bit Lubuntu.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] 64-bit install?
Hi Bob, if you could try using the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp#Minimal%20Install Just go get the 64 bit instead of 32 bit mini-iso from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ I'd be grateful if you could reply back with how you get on, I have been asked a couple of times about such a method but not had anyone say yes it does work (or no, it does not). Regards, Phill.

Hi Phill, I'll be happy to just as soon as I get the 64-bit machine running again. :) I hope that's within a week or so.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] gvfs-fuse is not installed?
If you use pcmanfm with gvfs, it will be needed. Otherwise, programs which doesn't use gio cannot access filesystems mounted by gvfs. gvfs-fuse exposes these mounted files via FUSE so other programs can access them with POSIX APIs even if they don't support gio. Besides, without this, open current folder in terminal won't work for remote filesystems.

As you may know I currently maintain two LXDE distributions (Linux Mint LXDE edition and Peppermint OS), and if this is something mission critical then I want to make sure that it's installed and properly integrated. Thanks for your time. Kendall Weaver On Sun, May 23, 2010 at 12:11 AM, PCMan pcman...@gmail.com wrote: I just noticed that gvfs-fuse package is not installed. This one is actually required.
