[Lubuntu-desktop] problems with packagekit

2011-08-26 Thread Stefano
ok, problems here, i've looked to packagekit API's for python. my
impressions:
1 - PackageKitClient doesn't accept simple list in install_packages(pkgs).
2 - Get the packages is very slow.
3 - there are some widgets interesting, but are the same in aptdaemon

so i think aptdaemon is best, what you think?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Keeping LXDM for 11.10

2011-08-26 Thread (Rafael Laguna)
Fully agree, Julien. I'm working in the matching theme and it's very
difficult and unstable (it's not enough to "port" the LXDM one). Also it
happened two times changes in the API, the XML sentences and other
things.

I'm sure I could do a simple and functional theme with a (simple)
greeter, but I'd like to Investigate how to get animations, a better PNG
with alpha support face-browser, and much more. That's supposed to be
designed for (among the speed and library independence, of course).

+1 for using LXDM again.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lsc revision 18

2011-08-26 Thread Stefano
I've pushed up the revision 18, fixed some bugs and changed the apps
basket (more user-friendly now).
in the revision 17 i've fixed a serious bug, some package like e.g.
libnotify1-gtk2.10 are automatically installed via other package by apt
(libnotify1-gtk2.10 is contained in libnotify1), but lsc was not set up
to substitute this kind of package, now is ok, if somebody can test, a
tipical app that give this bug is the gnustep de (so all the apps
written in objc) e.g. charmap.app.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Keeping LXDM for 11.10

2011-08-26 Thread Julien Lavergne
Hi,

I evaluated lightdm the last few days, and here is the situation :
- it crashes on upgrade, make the desktop unusable
- I was not able to test it on daily build (daily was broken until
yesterday), it means I can guaranty it's working correctly.
- LXDE greeter for lightdm was not tested
- The theme is not finished

It appears that I'm not sure we will be able to deliver a good
experience with lightdm for the 11.10 release. Because of this, I
propose to keep LXDM for 11.10.

I'm confident that we will be ready for 12.04, but I consider it's too
risky for the 11.10.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Thoughts from 8.10

2011-08-26 Thread Joel Pickett
Getting back to the main topic, I started using Ubuntu around the
Hardy/Intrepid releases and I´d have to comment that some things have gotten
better while others, not so much.

Boot time and general responsiveness has been a major improvement since
8.10, probably mainly due to ext4. Although boot time isn't as fast as
Karmic or Lucid (~15sec on desktop) I think that the boot time regressions
haven't been too much of an issue.

pushed up revision 16, added preferences dialog.
definitively, to test or try:
(install bazaar [sudo apt-get install bzr] if you haven't got it)
bzr branch lp:lubuntu-software-center
cd lubuntu-software-center
python lubuntu-software-center.py

No installation required.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lsc revision 15

2011-08-26 Thread Stefano
Pushed up revision 15, added beginner mode by default (only applications
in /usr/share/app-install/desktop), you can switch to expert mode by
changing the settings in the file LSC.ini. preferences settings is to
do, the branch work with me, but i repeat, if somebody knows how to set
up a ppa, can get the branch and do it (it's opensource ;-D).
the icons of the programs aren't rendered because i've got some problem
using icons of different format in a treeview (message errors by
librsvg), only the icon present in theme are rendered (a classic "deb"
icon for the other).

please give me feedback, and test, of course.

Regards

Stephen Smally.

That's exactly what I mean. I.e. not to RTFM but rather to include
this flag as an override profile for apt in lubuntu. Otherwise it
draws to much rubbish with different packages, since most 'recommends'
are bound to default gnome env. for gtk apps.

Looking forward to reading yours.
