Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] LXDE Clock Settings
On Wed, 05 Jan 2011 06:27:42 -, Tyler Raper wrote: This is my first post on your mailing list and I have been enjoying the hard work you guys put into the Lubuntu distro. I am by far no linux expert, but I love how lightweight Lubuntu is and how useful it can be to bring old PC's back to a realm of usefulness. However, I did have a suggestions regarding the LXDE Clock settings. On a default install %R is what the clock is set at, many PC users are more used to the standard time that is used in Windows, on phones, watches and other devices. Currently military time is the standard. I would like to propose a change to how time is displayed on the taskbar. I think %l:%M %p is another format that more people are used to. Which looks like (7:37 PM ) when it is displayed. To find out how to do this I had to look it up, which is fine because I am a bit more technical. Another idea if changing the time perhaps a dropdown box could be used here to allow users to change the style of the time display. It would be much more intuitive for new users, I consider this another of the small "papercuts" that this Ubuntu derivative has. I have to admit the clock is a bit of a faff to alter and really could be better. Personally I think the unambiguous 24 hour clock is the best default setting and hate having to change phones, etc. to use it. A drop-down menu with a couple of preset options would make life easier. Thanks for your time, I really do appreciate the effort you guys put in and will try to chime in from time to time if I have any thoughts on discussions in the mailing list. Thank you, it's ideas like this that go to make Lubuntu better, as it's these 'little' things that tend to annoy people the most. Feel free to chime in as often as you wish.

Could I ask if you would consider switching the Adobe Flash videos to be in the Ogg Theora format and use tag? I looked at http://lubuntu.net/ but all the videos wouldn't play from Firefox on Ubuntu. Not sure how much work this would entail. Unfortunately my line kept dropping and I didn't get to talk about them not playing in FF. The newer ones should run fine in Chromium with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra installed. The older ones are unfortunately only avaiable as flv files. The new videos from 2011 will be encoded in webm (which should be playable in every browser [FF 4.0 is needed]) + h264 (m4v as blip.tv now converts automatically to it). As for the video tag. As far as I know chromium is loading and caching those videos when you add them with the video tag. That would produce high traffic on the server. (blip.tv in that case) So a link to the file would be better I think. Clicking the link should then open up the video in the internal browser video player. Thanks for the info Leszek. I just download and play the in Lifrea or Opera and haven't had any problems. I don't know what the problem in FF is (codec missing?) as they work for.

Or maybe I just misunderstand the command myself? I'm thinking that someone might be building their system based on 10.04, and 10.10 might be lurking and ready to pounce on them if they issue this command?

The only difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade, is that dist-upgrade can, and will, delete files if there is a conflict of some sort. Yes, it's a lovely distro! I never boot anything else now. I'm sure I'm going to remove Ubuntu Gnome from my system, as it just sits there now taking up space. I really never go into it for anything.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Keyboard weirdness, Lubuntu Lucid Beta 3 - very fringe case
On Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:43:59 +0100, C David Rigby wrote: Hello all, I've spotted what appears to be a bug in the installer that can be run from the Live CD desktop environment if one chooses "Try Lubuntu without installing" from the main menu. Or the problem could be in the desktop environment itself. It is such a fringe case, though, that I am not sure if it is worth pursuing. It is 100% reproducible on this hardware. The system is one I have scraped together while I am stuck in Italy. I plan to use it for testing, as I have a more powerful laptop at my disposal. The system is a home built PC based on a 440BX motherboard, and it has a French keyboard. To produce the error: 1. Boot the Lubuntu Lucid Beta 3 Live CD 2. Accept the default language, English, from the boot menu 3. Press F3 and select "France" for the keymap 4. Choose the "Try Lubuntu without installing" from the primary boot menu 5. At the desktop, start the installer 6. On the keyboard selection screen of the installer (step 3) the installer guesses "France - Alternative" 7. Press the radio button for "Choose your own" 8. Select "France" from the right-hand window list 9. Try typing text in the test field; the keyboard produces no output 10. Open leafpad or LXTerminal; still no output from the keyboard 11. Quit the installer and restart the system from the "Logoff" menu item; the CD ejects, but the system does not restart. Later steps in installation will require the keyboard, I assume, so at this point installation has failed. Note: if leafpad or LXTerminal is used prior to starting the installer, then the problem does not occur. Text appears in these apps. Once the installer is started, text appears in the test field of step 3, Workaround: 1. Do not use F3 to choose a keymap; or 2. Open leafpad or another text-input app, type something, then start the installer. So, is this important enough for a formal bug report? Should I try the Ubuntu Lucid Beta to see if the problem occurs there also? Your comments appreciated, David There have been a couple of 'strange' language problems, involving French & English, noticed by Phillw and myself, on Beta 2. I would try it with Ubuntu if you can, but I suspect it is the way the Lubuntu ISO is set up. I have reported a bug where all the languages (139) are installed to the hard drive. I think it is worth reporting anyway as anything that messes up the install could mean one less user. -- Steve (Yorvyk) http://www.lubuntu.net ___ 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

Apple has changed the Quicktime sites (especially the trailers) to only accept clients which are sending the right quicktime id (version string). I wrote a little shell script to fix the quicktime support for zevenos a few weeks ago. Its simply a call for mplayer + the right version string. So if you want to play a quicktime trailer go to the trailers site, copy the link to the mov or mp4 file, open up a terminal type in sh /path/to/script/quicktime and paste in the url (sometimes you need to shorten out the width and heigths added after the mov video url) . It works very well, also with the quicktime keynote streams. (udp over http is enabled for them to work) Ubuntu uses gstreamer and the totem plugin to make it work. Obviously they included a patch for this. The mplayerplugin needs to be patched to make it work again inside the browser. So not really a fix for now, just a work around.

It's not easy for beginners to figure out what the menu items do. I just learned how to add tooltips for menu items and show them in status bar. If we can add proper tooltips for menu items, this can greatly improve usability. I know we're in string freeze, but is it acceptable to add even more new strings to PCManFM at this time? The number of strings that needed to be added is about 30 ~ 40. This is quite important for usability. Since currently PCManFM is still in beta and its quality didn't meet the requirements of a stable release, we won't have a stable release or release candidate very soon. So we still have time to finish all the translation prior to final release. Opinions from translators? If you guys allow me to do so, I'll add them later and inform you on the mailing list when I've done it. Otherwise, I'll leave them in a git branch. But I'm a little bit worry about git branch because it doesn't seem to work well with some translation systems and there might be conflicts in the future. If these new strings are not going to be added this time, I'll release pcmanfm 0.9.5 in about two days. Anyways, I want to know what you think. So translations please share your ideas with me. Thanks! Hmmm, I’d prefer 0.9.5 out as soon as possible and the tool tips added to the next version.

Hi,
The Lubuntu Lucid Beta 3 is now available. We are now close to the final
release, this beta should be the last one before final release.
The status of this final release is not determined yet ("beta stable",
"rc final" ...), that's why its a beta and not a rc like other *buntu.
However, final release is still planned for the end of this month, or in
very early May.
== New stuff since Beta 2 ==
* Many translations directly included.
* Lubuntu-desktop PPA added by default on installation.
* Up-to-date libfm and pcmanfm2.
== Specific Lubuntu changes ==
Lubuntu still contains modifications not available in the official
repository, you can see them in the Lubuntu PPA [1] :
- New pcmanfm2 and libfm (LP: #523433)
- lubuntu-default-settings with pcmanfm2 support
- Fix for blurry shutdown-icon from elementary-icons (LP: #527345)
- Autologin support in ubiquity (LP: #546445)
== Testing needed ==
I'll appreciate some feedbacks about the followings recent additions :
- pcmanfm2, the new filemanager, is still in beta state. Please report
bugs on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam/pcmanfm2Testing
== Known bugs ==
* If you test on a USB, the first screen will freeze for a moment when
you click on "Try Lubuntu ...". Just wait, it will continue as normal.
* Start menu of the Live-CD is not correctly translated.
* Updates available are not shown, you need to manually update your
system.
* See also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam
== Reporting bugs ==
Bug reported during testing :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam
If you want to create a bootable usb system, please use the usb creator
directly on Ubuntu.

I'd like to ask / point out a little 'funny' with the language packs. Long story, cut short, was trying to help with language packs last night and as the only other language I know more than 2 words of is French (I know about 10 words ;-) ) I put the French language pack onto my system and popped it into 1st place, it dutifully went into French (So far, so good). I then moved English(GB) back to the top of the list, so that French was in 2nd place and applied it, but my log in screen remained in French.

The bad one is some changes of strings is required to fix bug #2979567. Sorry for the inconvenience for all of the translators, but this is required since moving files to trash bin on remote filesystem is not supported by gvfs. When a user does this, the files will be deleted directly rather than being moved to trash bin. So a prompt telling the user their files will be deleted directly is definitely needed. Without this fix, files on remote filesystems cannot be deleted if trash bin support is turned on and this is a severe usability bug. So I'm requesting a string change here. Another issue raised by brother is the terms "trash can" and "trash bin". Those two terms are used interchangeably in libfm and pcmanfm. However, only one of them should be used throughout the whole program for better consistency. So I'm going to fix this, too. For native English speakers, which term is more suitable? Marty Jack, help from you is needed since you seem to be the only native English speaker in our development team. Thank you all and sorry for the inconvenience. As was pointed out in another thread it just has to be consistent really, trash can seems to be most commonly used in the USA. I’ll just translate it to Rubbish Bin for en_GB, not sure what other English speaking nations use though. Will it cause problems for other languages, does bin/can translate as the same thing. -- Steve (Yorvyk) http://www.lubuntu.net ___ 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

That's the point indeed. I guess this is just a mistake from the
developer
but when the original string changes this will cause your translation to
be marked as "fuzzy" and as such it will not be used when the strings are
presented. So if we decide to update it the translators have to revisit
all those strings or they will be in en_US. NOT very good, it's a trade
off - a more consistent en_US and maybe some translations have a mix up
too because their language uses that. For en_GB that's not true, not for
sv either ("papperskorg") and I guess alot of us around uses the same. A
change in original is a consequence in the other end. That's all.
Ah, I’m new to this translation lark so didn’t realise the full extent of
the problem. You are correct it does need to be consistent.

I’m not sure if this is the same thing as described above. If you select Detailed List View then open a folder and right click on a file you get the menu with New, Paste, Select All, etc. IF you then Left click on it and then right click you get the correct context menu with Open, Open With... , etc. If you then right click on a different type of file you get the same context menu as previous. E.g. If you left click then right click on a tar.gz file you get Open, Xarchiver, Open With..., etc. If you then right click on a PDF file you still get Open, Xarchiver, Open With... If you then left click and right click on a PDF you get a context menu with Open, Document Viewer, Open With..., etc. I.e then correct context menu. This only occurs in Detailed List View.
