OK.  It looks as though wubi wasn't tested, and so probably doesn't
work.  We need to add wubi to the list of things to test for Lubuntu
11.10, so we don't make the same mistake then that we seem to have made
this time!  But that doesn't help you right now.

 You mention to try as a normal graphical installer - is there a
 particular file I need to point to to begin the installation?

No.  Instead, you would just boot the computer from the Lubuntu CD. Put
the Lubuntu CD in the drive, then reboot the computer.  That will
(usually) automatically run the install menu from the CD.  Windows (or
any other operating system on your hard disk) never even has a chance to
even start to run, if you do this :)

If doing that still runs Windows, you might have to press F10 or F12 as
the computer starts up so it will offer a little boot menu from which
you can choose to boot from CD. (You can change CMOS settings instead,
but that's a bit more complex to describe).

 This is being installed on a Windows XP Pro system (as I've found
 with other Linux versions, XP is the most friendly).

OK...  Do you want to keep your XP Pro installation and files intact, or
are you planning to wipe it out and replace it with Lubuntu?  Or, do you
want to repartition the hard drive so that (for example) half the disk
space is for XP Pro, and half is for Linux?

Do you have a good up to date backup of the Windows installation and all
your files, somewhere not on that same PC?  If not, creating such a
backup is a good idea, as a precaution (against hardware issues or other
accidents, as well as against making mistakes when trying to share the
disk between Windows and Lubuntu).  So if you are going to share the PC
between Windows and Lubuntu, it would be wise to take the time to make a
good full backup of the machine as it is now, before you do anything
else.  Just in case :)

Wubi is (in my biased opinion!) a somewhat odd hybrid installation
approach, that installs Linux (Lubuntu, if it worked) into some big
files inside Windows... but that is not the usual way to install any
Linux distribution.

 I'm anxious to give Lubuntu a try ...

Good :)

If you are a newcomer, the safest way is to attempt that first try on
an older machine dedicated to that purpose.  One you have no files or
programs on that you care about.  That way, you *know* you can't
accidentally remove your main working copy of Windows and all the files
in it that you wanted to keep :)

If you do not have a spare old machine for that sort of windows-free
testing, there are several other alternatives.  Which one is best
depends on your experience level, and the capabilities of the machine
you are trying to share between Lubuntu and Windows.  On modern PCs
with a few GB of RAM and a multicore CPU, running VirtualBox inside
Windows, and installing Lubuntu as a virtual machine under VirtualBox
can work very well, but on older PCs it is impractical.

 - I tried the much-hyped Kubuntu
 and felt that it is to Linux what Vista is to Windows!

That sounds as though you have an old-ish PC, or one with limited RAM.
Lubuntu is designed specifically to be useful on such older PCs;
however, it is not necessarily designed to be ultra-easy for beginners
to use on older PCs while also keeping Windows on those same PCs.

To be able to offer a specific try Lubuntu *this* way suggestion for
you, other than try it out on a dedicated test PC, it would help to
know what sort of PC you are wanting to run Lubuntu on:

 * make and model if it is a well known brand
 * CPU type and speed
 * how much RAM the machine has
 * how big a hard disk it has
 * whether you are comfortable repartitioning it to free up some space
dedicated to use by Lubuntu.

Hoping this helps and doesn't seem *too* complicated!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu and updates (wiki standards)

2011-05-02 Thread Jonathan Marsden
Jared,

Earlier I asked:

 What is the correct way to have both a #title line and tags on the
 same page?

 A page on which this is currently attempted (but not really working) is
   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide

On 05/01/2011 02:17 PM, Jared Norris wrote:

 I spent an hour trying to solve this and the best I can come up with
 is that that page is referencing a help.u.c link (Tag/ContentCleanup)
 from within a wiki.u.c site ...

Ah, OK, that is an issue for the person who added the tags (undifined)
not me messing up when adding the #title line, then :)

I suppose this leads to a higher level question: is there a common
(standardized?) set of tags that work on both wiki.ubuntu.com and
help.ubuntu.com, and where is that tag set documented?

 Can we *really* add docbook markup tags to wiki pages and expect
 them to do the right thing?

 The documentation team is not just about wiki pages.

That's understood, but the StyleGuide tells us itself that it applies to
the help.ubuntu.com wiki, saying on that first page linked to above,
under the heading Style Guide Applicability and Precedence, that:

The Documentation Team also takes care of the documentation
wiki, to which the style guide also applies.

So if it fully applies... that would mean one can use docbook markup in
the wiki!  I suspect that sentence needs editing to exclude
docbook-specific things in the StyleGuide?

BTW, I used to be fully DocBook-capable, with Emacs + sgml-mode + jade
and all that stuff... but that was about 8 years ago, I've forgotten a
lot of it now :)

 So this information is put up on the wiki but actually refers to
 their work in the DocBook documentation.

The StyleGuide itself says otherwise, and so should be edited if you are
correct that it no longer applies to help.ubuntu.com wiki materials.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] system requirements (workaround created!)

My workaround works!

Replying to myself:

 There is a file within the Lubuntu 11.04 ISO called
 casper/filesystem.size but it seems to be unchanged since 2010-09-06 and
 I don't yet know what if anything actually uses it :)

Based on Julien's very handy pointer to the commit that broke this for
us, I just edited the file casper/filesystem.size in the Lubuntu 11.04
ISO image to say

137000

(a round-ish number about half the value that was previously in the
file, plus 50MB as a safety margin!) and then updated the md5sum.txt
file to reflect that edit, and created myself a modified ISO image from
the result.

That's a pretty trivial change, but, unlike the official 11.04 image, it
installs and runs fine in a 3GB virtual disk, at least in my initial
testing here (under VirtualBox 4.0.6).

So, we seem to have a code-free workaround :)  I suspect the number
could be lowered to around 9 for a 1.8GB size check, but I have
not tested that yet.

I can make this hacked ISO available for download, but it is a bit
'dubious' at this point from a support point of view, since it does not
'say' anywhere in its menus etc. that I modified it!  I need it to refer
to itself as 11.04.jm1 or something, so it is clearly not the official
Lubuntu 11.04 version, if there is going to be much use of it.

If anyone has an urgent need for this ISO image, let me know.  It is now
1am here, and I have to go to work tomorrow (today!!) so I don't have
time to create the .jm1 identified image right now... I need some sleep :)

Be careful about how low you set the number. It can make it difficult
to install any additional software and likely more worrying, it can be
impossible to upgrade if there is not space to download and unpack the

I think that the important thing for an old computer (i don't think that
this problem could exist on new hardware) is to be able tu run some office
apps, surf the internet and be able to be a stable post; this said, i don't
think that for that would be required a Lubuntu-very-hard apps modification
(the selection of apps for this is perfect).
In my experience i leave in my laptop a 6gb partition for the system and it
runs just fine (with 4gb free, sort of). But i have very different apps for
lubuntu, and i'm always erasing old kernels and cleaning app data for
install (just because i don't like junk being around).
Conclude yourselves.

Ps: is there a way to launch periodiquelly sudo apt-get clean on lubuntu?
also why it keep all the kernels? that's tones of hard disk space for a
little hard drive... maybe lubuntu should have a way to do a little cleaning

[Lubuntu-desktop] Uninstalled package asks for updates in update manager

2011-05-02 Thread Lee Gold
Hi,

Three questions or issues,

Using Lubuntu 10.10. I've uninstalled Apache through Synaptic (I also
previously installed it through Synaptic) - so Apache is not istalled -
but when the update manager runs it offers many updates related to
Apache. I installed Lighttd server in it's place. Why do I get offered
Apache updates? It's very confusing when the update manager shows this.
Could there be any residue, left over config in my home directory
causing this?

In maybe a related event upon logging in I had options related with my
home dir config that I had deleted days ago. Eg. my Geany editor syntax
colors were changed to something I tried then deleted days ago. It
seemed that anything related to home config had a hiccup. Something I
put in the bash config file a few days ago to deactivate the caps lock
key was not working. Very strange, I rebooted and everything's OK now -
I can not recreate the problem...

When I am in the (not sure what it's called) at the very top of a window
theres usually x _ and box, x will close the window, _ will minimize -
the top colored tool bar of a window. When I place my cursor there and
with the laptop scroll area strip begin to scroll the whole window rolls
up and down according to the scrolling. How do I disable this? There's a
config file for this but I'm not sure what to edit.

Thanks,

Lee G.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Strange issue of unwanted jpeg in terminal window

2011-05-02 Thread Lee Gold

  
Hi,

Further weirdness. A picture jpeg that I viewed in my firefox browser is
now showing up when I open a terminal?! The terminal opens and a
fragment of the picture is in the terminal background window. Also as
I'm browsing the web this picture will show up in the firefox window
like half obscuring the window. It's really bizarre! I rebooted and it
stopped. I'm doing a lot of LAMP localhost intense work on my laptop,
testing pages with a local LAMP stack - using Lighttpd instead of
Apache... The Lubuntu 10.10 seems to progressively having strange issues
which rebooting seems to temporarily fix...

Thanks,

Lee G.

Aloha tout moun, Julien,

I think you meant with too big that it's too high. As I'm clueless as to
how we could split the sub-teams up into two Blocks. As that block become 5
high, it's no use making the other block smaller, would only look
weird/ugly. The dark blue top can be made half it's height (better put, the
height of the font), so that would make it a bit lower. But that's just
marginally smaller. About the logo's I can be short: they are attachments
and not links to online images and I didn't upload images to those
attachments. I've updated the banner to be smaller in height and uploaded
one image to the attachment of the Main block. Check again here [1] and give
m your opinions. Note: second logo is still broken as in nothing uploaded.
Need too look for a proper image for there.

cron exists on Lubuntu, so yes.  

Do you want to know what the way *is*, too? :)  Just do something like:

  echo apt-get clean |sudo tee /etc/cron.weekly/aptclean
  sudo chmod 0755 /etc/cron.weekly/aptclean

and your system will run that command (as root) once a week (at 06:47
AM on Sundays, if you really need to know the details!).  Of course,
you must make sure the system is powered on and running Lubuntu at that
time every Sunday for this to be useful.

 also why it keep all the kernels? that's tones of hard disk space for a
 little hard drive... maybe lubuntu should have a way to do a little 
 cleaning :)

Deleting old kernels is more controversial, because you cannot be
100% sure the latest installed kernel works perfectly on your machine.
There are some little shell scripts around that do this, which you could
add to /etc/cron.monthly/ if you wish.

Neither of these are Lubuntu-specific, incidentally.

Apache comes in many packages.  Are you sure you uninstalled all of them?
I suspect some remain installed on your system and so are being updated.

What does

  dpkg -l apache\* libapache\* |grep ^ii

apache or libapache that are still installed on your machine.  If
appropriate, you can then sudo apt-get purge any such packages that you
do not want on your machine any longer.

 Could there be any residue, left over config in my home directory
 causing this?

Not in your home directory, but in the package database :)

 In maybe a related event upon logging in I had options related with my
 home dir config that I had deleted days ago. ...
 I can not recreate the problem...

If you cannot recreate it, the chances anyone else will be able to help
you with it are very low.

 When I am in the (not sure what it's called) at the very top of a window
 theres usually x _ and box, x will close the window, _ will minimize -
 the top colored tool bar of a window. When I place my cursor there and
 with the laptop scroll area strip begin to scroll the whole window rolls
 up and down according to the scrolling. How do I disable this?

I'll leave this one for others to answer.  Incidentally, it is usually
easier for those helping you if you report one issue per email or per
bug report :)
