[Lubuntu-desktop] [Doc/Support Request] Removal of Bluetooth
Hi list, As I was looking around the web for a way to remove/disable bluetooth completely, as the BIOS of the machine can't do it for some reason (I rather not flash it). I noticed that there were no good documentation regarding this issue, neither on our own wiki[1], help.ubuntu[2], or arch's wiki[3]. So I shamefully ask if someone could provide their expertise to document this issue? Ideas on what to cover: *Disabling bluetooth by configuration. *Removing bluetooth related packages. *Disabling the kernel module (for marginal boot time decrease, if any). Regards, Alexander.

So what we originally thought was a technical issue (get it packaged and into Debian, sync to Ubuntu) has turned into a much more complicated packaging/policy/desires-of-authors issue.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Viewnior?
Yet another issue is, the underlying lib viewnior use, GtkImageView only has gtk2 support. It's a nice little library providing a lightweight and really fast gtk-based image viewer UI component. It's a pity that no gtk3 porting was done so far. Sooner or later we need to migrate to gtk3. If this issue cannot be resolved at the moment. :-( On Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 6:40 AM, Jonathan Marsden jmars...@fastmail.fmwrote: On 12/26/2011 12:09 PM, Jean-Pierre Vidal Piesset wrote: Will Viewnior be the default image viewer in 12.04 ?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Viewnior?
The gtkimageview with GTK3 patch is in the SVN (and is done because of Evolution mail client). However, the author didn't release it. And, if we can accept the author's version of Viewnior, it also states for GTK3 support.

[Lubuntu-desktop] A small typo on lubuntu.net
Hi all, On lubuntu.net, it says Get lubuntu and join the team to make it better. Please refer to the Lubuntu 11.11 Release Notes for more info.. The version should be 11.10.

[Lubuntu-desktop] About lxpanel2
Recently there are some discussions about lxpanel on the mailing list, which is really great. Hope that we can have a new maintainer for it. The original lxpanel, however, is bound to gtk2, xlib, and some linux-specific stuff. This makes migration to new technology very difficult. Much has happened in recent years. 1. gtk3 replaces gtk2. The management of window geometry and underlying drawing parts have radical and backward incompatible changes. Background image support will be completely broken in gtk3 as many deprecated APIs are removed from gtk3, especially the pixmap-related ones. 2. HAL is deprecated and now we have udisks/upower (linux-only), and things never work for other unix variants. 3. logout/shutdown should be done with ConsoleKit now. 4. Xlib is going to be replaced by xcb. 5. Xorg will sooner or later be replaced by Wayland in some distros 6. gio and dbus became widely used nowadays. 7. pulse audio is widely used, and direct ALSA access sometimes causes problems Hence, making old code work with new tech might even be more difficult then a rewrite. That's why a rewrite/redesign is planned. A project without many maintainers should not be trapped in the vicious cycle of fixing the broken compatibilities again and again. We have only one way out, reusing existing libraries whenever possible and trying not to touch too low level stuff. Now I mainly focus on finishing pcmanfm 1.0, but previously I already have a proof-of-concept prototype for lxpanel2. It's now 40% finished. Here is the spec of the new lxpanel2. 1. Mainly written in Vala, and use C when absolutely needed to speed up developement 2. Directly based on gtk3 and does not mess with gtk2. Drawing stuff will be done completely with cairo. 3. Built with CMake instead of automake (already done) 4. Use standard widgets whenever possible to get proper accessibility support (important!!) 5. Network monitor part is based on libgtop (90% finished) Libgtop is a nice lightweight library designed for system monitoring. It works for major systems, not Linux-only. Even better, it has no gnome dependency. 6. Pager and task manager part will use libwnck. (80% finished) With libwnck, we do not touch underlying X11 stuff and can be much more portable and resistant to future changes of X. Though it's a gnome lib, it only depends on gtk and has no other gnome dependencies. The implementation is quite clean and complete and the APIs are well documented, making it nice to work with. 7. Battery monitor will use dbus + UPower. (70% finished) Glib/gio has built-in dbus support now so no additional deps are needed. Vala even has dbus integration at the language level. Great! This may be much better than read from /sys as upower devs will handle future incompatible changes and provide a constant dbus interface. 8. IPC stuff will use dbus instead of XSelection hacks. (dbus is quite common now and glib has built-in support) 9. The config file might become a single xml file (not sure, still under evaluation. Ini file based solution is not very handy for tree like data structure) 10.The UI might be similar than that of the old lxpanel initially, but in the future we need to be more unique and won't be Windows-like. 11.Volume control should be an additional plugin or systray applet instead of built into the panel. So we won't depend on ALSA by default. Instead of reinventing everything in a poor manner, this time I will reuse existing implementations whenever possible if they are lightweight enough. This should decrease maintenance load to a minimum and guarantee tolerance to future changes. With Vala, coding became much faster than before. To achieve the same functionality as in C, I felt that only 1/3 of code is needed. Though the new lxpanel2 will not be available soon, it will be pushed into repo once I got a first working version. Of course, this should happen after the file manager 1.0 is done.
