Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Unresolved overheat issue blocks development
Hello PCMan, We had two HP Laptops at home, both are Pavilion DV6 (Windows 7) and DV5 (Ubuntu 10.04). The overheating problem was there for both except DV6 was working while DV5 was shutting down even though we are using two cooling fans. I called HP and we managed to fix the problem on DV6 with a BIOS Update. As for DV5 one, they couldn't help because it has Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) and I have no clue how to update the BIOS while on Linux. As far as I know, BIOS is controlling the Fan Speed and if there is no hardware failure (fan is still working) then, as in my case, the BIOS update will fix that. Just a thought but in your case, it might be something else. Check the fan and see if it's working. Try to buy a cooling fan if you don't have one already. Hope that helps!

Hi Jeremy, whilst not the biggest fan of Wubi either, it is a useful tool for a certain group of people. It certainly gives a better taste of Lubuntu than trying to run it of a LiveCD. As such, Wubi is an important option for people to try the ubuntu flavours out on a windows machine. The Wubi people do a good job of keeping it stable. regards. Phill.

First, don't kill me for bringing back this topic ;) Since Lubuntu is official, maybe the cause for dropping i586 is obsolete (if I remember right it was because none of the flavours could run in it, so there was no market there). Aditionally, there's the fact that LTS are the less demanding resource releases :) (experieced by me with 8.04 and 10.04) Maybe we could ask nicely, together with Xubuntu, that at least for the LTS *ubuntu could exist for i586...

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] How LSC works? (searching for packages)

(just try lame in LSC and USC to see it ;) ... With the same search parameters they should show the same results but, they don't appear to have the same parameters. They appear to be searching on different fields. The search does seem a bit bizarre. I've just tried both Lubuntu and lubuntu and it finds nothing. Comparing how LSC does its searches, and how apt-cache search does them, should help unravel that issue. As a quick test of searching package names in Python: cat aptsearch.py EOF #!/usr/bin/python import sys, re, apt_pkg apt_pkg.init() cache = apt_pkg.Cache() for pkg in cache.packages: if re.search(sys.argv[1], pkg.name, re.IGNORECASE): print , pkg.name EOF chmod +x aptsearch.py ./aptsearch.py lubuntu # search for packages with lubuntu in their names is all it takes to demo that basic package name searches in Python work fine. I would hope that LSC actually searches on package descriptions as well as package names, of course, but I'll leave doing that as an exercise for the reader :) Personally, I'll stick to using apt-cache and apt-get, since they work, in all varieties of Debian and Ubuntu... so why should I learn yet another GUI way to do what those commands already do :) Jonathan ___ 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
