[Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu 11.10 released
Lubuntu 11.10 is now available : * http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/11.10/release/ == What is Lubuntu ? == Lubuntu 11.10 is a brand new flavor of Ubuntu based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE), as its default GUI. The goal is to provide a very lightweight distribution, with all the advantages of the Ubuntu world (repositories, support, etc.). Lubuntu is targeted at normal PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. Such users may not know how to use command line tools, and in most cases they just don't have enough resources for all the bells and whistles of the full-featured mainstream distributions. With many LXDE components, Lubuntu also uses well-known applications, such as Chromium, Openbox, Pidgin, to name a few. The Lubuntu project wiki contains more information on the project and the applications used available. == Features == * Based on the lightweight LXDE desktop environment. * Pcmanfm 0.9.9, a fast and lightweight files manager using gio/gvfs. * Lxdm, a lightweight GTK display manager. * Chromium, the open-source version of Google Chrome. * ... and, of course, based on Ubuntu 11.10. See the complete list of applications on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Applications == Improvements since Lubuntu 11.04 == * ISOs are now build with Ubuntu official build system. * Alternate ISOs are available. * Many updates from LXDE (most components had official releases). * Build with recommended packages by default. * Use recommends instead of depends for most of components of lubuntu-desktop meta-package. * Register correctly LXDE as a desktop environment by xdg tools. * Switch to xfce4-power-manager for power management. * Add a microblog client : pidgin-microblog. * New theme made by Rafael Laguna. == Releases notes and known issues == The release notes, with a list of known problems are available on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReleaseNotes/OneiricOcelot == Reporting bugs == You can find information on how to report bug on this wiki page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ReportingBugs == Thanks == I would like to thanks all people involved in the development of Lubuntu during this past 6 months : LXDE developers, people helping on IRC, testing ISOs, reporting bugs, making documentation and artwork ...

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] [Lxde-list] Lubuntu 11.10 released
Hi, great work! ... and by the way the server is not down, there are just tons of hits. I think the lubuntu.net site should be moved to a cloud service so we can cope with the demand every time a new version gets released. Thanks so much!

[Lubuntu-desktop] System won't boot in 11.10
I'm really sorry for starting the bad news. I have a NP305V4A-S01 and in 11.04 it worked... now in 11.10 i can't even see the Lubuntu (plymouth); the screen just turns off but it seems that everything is still running. I tried the same CD in other machines and everything works perfect (i have to type sudo lxdm though). The good news is that after that i tried to install Ubuntu and didn't worked neither... Any idea where I can post this bug? -- jpxsat ___ 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] Idea for LSC
Le 10/13/2011 03:29 PM, Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset a écrit : I was wondering if something like this (http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=56282) could be implemented on LSC. The main goal of it is to be able to control from one place the default apps of the system to open the files. Something similar exists in pcmanfm, but it must be done extension by extension. The proposal, is that it can be done in just one place. What do you think? I like the idea, but LSC is probably not the better place to implement this. A separate program is probably the best, merging also the functionalities from the pcmanfm one. I started to work on something related to this idea. We will have time to discuss this, let's rest on this release day before talking about next version :) Regards, Julien Lavergne ___ 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] Personal stuff.
hi, I've been off for a few days, hopefully after the weekend I will be better in my self. I'll let you all know what decisions I've made about monday. sorry for not being to hand at release date, but things escalated beyond by own control. Thank-you to those who took up the scary bit of moving 11.10 from test to live on docs. Again, I've only had a little time to tidy up a few things that were flagged to me to be checked.
