[Lubuntu-desktop] Apps menu not functioning - Oneiric

2011-07-31 Thread Yorvyk
The applications menu on both my Oneiric test systems has malfunctioned.  When 
I click the icon I get a empty white box in the bottom left hand corner.  Can't 
find anything on Launchpad about this so I'm assuming it's something I've done. 
 Any pointers?

Now we appear to be official will the mailing list be moving from launchpad.net

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Test Lubuntu Lucid 10.04.3 ISO image available

2011-07-31 Thread Phill Whiteside
I'm grabbing it now, however as my b/band link out here in the beautiful
countryside is about 256k/s, it will take a couple of hours. I'll have a
play with it in VM once it has arrived. As for Language packs, this still
seems to be up for discussion. IMHO having the basic ones at install with
the option to install any of the others later does seem a reasonable way.

Regards,

Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Test Lubuntu Lucid 10.04.3 ISO image available

2011-07-31 Thread Lance
The first thing I notice is that there is no Install icon on the desktop or 
in the menu to allow installation from the Live Desktop. You can of course 
reboot and begin the installation process from the boot menu.

I just happened to look though and I see that I have an original Lubuntu 10.04 
Live CD so let me do a quick comparison. I'll still go ahead and run through 
three installation scenarios (an entire disc install, followed by an 
auto-resize install, and finally a manual partitioning install) just to be 
certain no cats are eaten ;^)

I also failed at running a persistent session with the Live CD using a 
casper-rw partition but I need to repeat that test to be certain what went 
wrong ... there's always a possibility that I goofed. ATM I don't have 
a spare flash drive to create a Live USB, but when I was iso-testing the Ubuntu 
10.04.3 images I found that bug #645818
  still existed so it's difficult to create a Lucid Live USB with some newer 
versions of usb-creator.

Also I may be unavailable for a few hours. I've been trying to get most of my 
physical work done early here before the heat sets in.

Thanks for all you do,

Lance

2011-07-31 Thread Lance
I just booted that original Lubuntu 10.04 CD and Install Lubuntu is on the 
desktop, whereas on the new 10.04.3 CD the only desktop icon present is My 
Documents which appears to open Home.

One other minor thing, well a difference between the two, the F6 option on the 
10.04 CD says Other options as seems normal, but the 10.04.3 CD says 
Password, although pressing F6 displays the expected options.

I'll run a few more tests ASAP. Oh, as far as I tell pcmanfm and all of the 
lxde apps seem to work well. Although I'm still quite new to Lubuntu so I could 
easily overlook something, but mounting filesystems (including a data flash 
drive) and browsing through system files seems to work quite well.

I'm very impressed with the simplicity and functionality of pcmanfm, IMHO it's 
a true work of art, very intuitive.

I think this is great. If we get to know about where you are running 
short of hands, we can pitch-in and try to address that in Muktware's

Regarding the lack of an install icon:

I booted the Live CD this time choosing to Install but it still booted to the 
Live Desktop. As I browsed about in pcmanfm I found the Lubuntu image and once 
opened it shows an install icon. I posted a screenshot here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11104452postcount=149

I didn't try clicking on that yet to begin the installation but I wanted to let

OK, booted again and tried clicking on that install folder icon but it was a no 
go. I browsed about a bit in there but I'm stumped :^(

I haven't yet tried repeating that persistence test but I'll wait until I hear 
from you.

Note: I expect there to be official iso-testing of Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha3 images 
very soon, probably within 24 to 48 hours, so that will be a priority for me. 
Although as soon as Lubuntu is added to the QA-tracker I'll change my 
subscription from testing Ubuntu images to testing Lubuntu images ;^)

My guess is that most people wanting Lubuntu will want the latest and 
greatest anyway, and with 12.04 being the next LTS we could then decide what 
to do about LTS point releases. For example only Ubuntu and Kubuntu produced a 
10.04.3, Xubuntu did not, so there appears to be some leeway regarding that.

I'll admit that I'm just itching to see Lubuntu 11.10, or at the latest 
12.04, get into official iso-testing ;^)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Test Lubuntu Lucid 10.04.3 ISO image available

2011-07-31 Thread Phill Whiteside
It seems that Chromium, and most certainly Oracle VM bitch out big time at
the filename, when I renamed it as .iso, it was a happy bunny. Out of
curiosity, I ran a md5 on the filename as per the ftp, it was the same, so I
thought what the hell...

My only other thought, that will possibly cause some discussion is the
version of pcmanfm.

As 10.04 and pcmanfm never sat happily with smb stuff, we were trying out
pynieghborhood back then, to no avail. As it is a community rebuild, would
getting rid of pcman 0.5.x and popping on pcmanfm 0.9., along with it's
friends, or should I scribble up a set of notes for people to do it
manually? I did think of asking to actually remove pyNeighborhood, but am
not sure if that falls in the 'job description' of a point release!

@everyone

In theory, at least, we are just updating pcmanfm to the latest version. I'd
appreciate the teams views on this one (not to forget PCMan, himself!). My
view is that we did say that we would support and backport developments to
10.04.  I personally prefer using the best PCManFM available for a the
10.04.3 release (even though only a community release, like 10.04 was).

@jonathan, sorry if that causes you a headache if the team agree to use the
0.9 PCManFM. In the long run, I think it will be easier to offer support if
all the lubuntu releases are on 0.9.x for PCManFM.

For PCManFM to be able to continue receiving updates, I am surmising that a
path to an upgrade path will have to be made for it.

Glad you or the computer remembered the log-in details for my server area,
feel free to use it for anything that you wish for any stuff you are doing.
I may as well get my $15 / month worth out out of it (It was only supposed
to be for a couple of months, 18 months ago!)

Phill.

It *is* a .iso file as provided, isn't it??  Filename is supposed to be
lubuntu-lucid-20110731-i386.iso which has only one period in it, and
ends in .iso, so even brain-dead Windows-style apps that use the .???
suffix to guess at file types should be fine.  That was the idea, anyway :)

I used wget and Firefox to download it as a test, and both worked fine
for me.  Virtualbox is buggy in handling filenames with very weird
characters in them (like Sanskrit काचं -- I tend to test UTF-8 handling
with *really* unusual characters!), but my test ISO used only normal
boring USASCII in its filename...

Anyway, most folks who have been using Linux since at least April 2010
will by now have learned to use wget as their trusted download tool of
choice, right?  So

  wget -c http://phillw.net/lubuntu-lucid-20110731-i386.iso

should work in any Linux (or FreeBSD or NetBSD or Solaris) with wget
installed, and also in Windows if you install the GNUwin32 wget and put
it in your $PATH (which people who do much downloading of big ISO files
in Windows would be well advised to do, in my view!).  I think wget
exists for Mac OS X too, but I lack the details.

 My only other thought, that will possibly cause some discussion is 
 the version of pcmanfm.


And more generally, on updating packages... yes.

My sense is we should do the basics first.  So: (1) get a working
10.04.3 image out there based on lucid and lucid-updates, and then (2)
we can further enhance it as time and interest allows with newer
versions of stuff, backports, etc.

 As it is a community rebuild, would getting rid of pcman 0.5.x and
 popping on pcmanfm 0.9., ...


May I ask the obvious question: Has someone packaged pcmanfm 0.9 for
Lucid, and got it accepted into lucid-backports ?

That would be the official way to go about doing this, and it would
benefit existing users of the Lubuntu 10.04 release who want to enable
lucid-backports and update things, as well as users of a new 10.04.3
image.  I don't see the package there in lucid-backports.

HOWEVER: *first*, the 10.04.3 image needs to work as designed, and
actually install to a hard disk :)  I'm about to start looking at that.
 I think I may have used an image archive (casper, isolinux, etc.) from
the 11.04 alpha timeframe; maybe using the one from the original Lubuntu
10.04 ISO would be more appropriate.  All the lucid, lucid-udpates and
lucid-backports packages for i386 are now here in my local repo, so I
should be at the ten minutes to make a new ISO stage for Lubuntu
10.04.3 now.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Lubuntu-Desktop] Mousepad Problem

2011-07-31 Thread Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset
The behaviour of Ubuntu 11.04 for the mousepad of my laptop is the same as
described for 10.04 - so, it seems that this is a Lubuntu specific
configuration. It would be great if someone culd get a look at it to make it
work again :)

 Hi guys:

 Back in 10.04 when i made a click with two fingers on the mousepad, it used
 to activate the right button of the mouse, now it acts like the center
 button. I believe this is a X.Org configuration since this happent in 10.04
 when i added xorg-edgers ppa. I tried to change this with
 gpointing-device-settings but can't make it working like i want. Has anybody
 any ideas of how i can make it work like before? (my right button is broken
 :/ and i don't like the idea of carrying a usb mouse everywhere :/ )

Maybe it was not only xorg-edgers ppa i added then :/

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Second Test Lubuntu Lucid 10.04.3 ISO image available

Well, I'm a significant step closer. A file called
lubuntu-lucid-20110801-i386.iso is being uploaded to Phill W's site as I
type.  It still has a non-functional Install Lubuntu menu item, but
the Try Lubuntu without installing one now has an appropriate
installer icon on the desktop, and clicking it works, allowing you to
install Lubuntu 10.04.3 to your hard drive.  At least, it works for me
in VirtualBox.

Once the upload finishes, it should available using

  wget -c http://phillw.net/lubuntu-lucid-20110801-i386.iso

I'm not sure how much more time I will be able to spend on this during
the work week, so I'm uploading a second test 10.04.3 ISO that I know
still has at least one significant flaw.  If anyone out there is
expecting a real fully working and fully tested Lubuntu 10.04.3
release image, then These are not the ISOs you are looking for :)
