If I understand this correctly we are dealing with processors 12 (twelve) years old or more having a clock frequency of less than 300 MHz. Such a computer is hardly usable for any practical purpose. I'd say we (that is, the Buntu community in general) should forget about them and focus on getting better support for new hardware. Lubuntu is intended to support older hardware. There are, however, recent machines, based on the Geode LX chip , that are not fully i686 compatible. But, how many is the problem. I can understand the Ubuntu devs not wishing to support large numbers of kernels, especially as there are now a number of ARM kernels in the repos to be supported. Like the PAE kernel problem, with the Celeron M, are there enough users to test and support the appropriate kernels. I really don't know which way to go on this one to be honest.

Until recently I've been using a '60 day' evaluation copy of WinXP for this purpose if the above doesn't work. Sadly a lot of recent machines require Vista or Win 7 for this sort of tool. Even if the BIOS upgrade doesn't mention your problem it may well be worth updating as manufacturers don't always tell you everything the BIOS update resolves. It may also be useful to look at firmware updates for the hard drive as well.

I have been using Lubuntu for over a year now, and it is quite possibly the fastest, most efficient operating system I have ever used (and I have used many). Keep up the extraordinary work. A few weeks ago on this list, a question was raised about the current number of Lubuntu users. I was a little surprised that no one had a clear idea, and that estimates varied widely. It seems a little dangerous from a development standpoint to have so little information about your userbase, doesn't it? Wouldn't it be valuable to determine a way of gathering data about how many people use Lubuntu, and how they use it? I don't ask this because I want to burden you with another task. I may be able to offer some help myself. I like Lubuntu, and intend to use it well into the future. But operating systems have demonstrated a clear tendency to eventually lose touch with and alienate their userbase. I think Lubuntu developers, being better than average, might recognize this common problem, and take steps to safeguard against it. One safeguard might be the collection of this data. What do you think? Philip Fielding Every Linux distribution would like to know how many users it has. Short of it 'phoning home' every so often nobody seems to have any idea how to get numbers of users. Estimating numbers of users from downloads is fraught with problems. I've installed both Lubuntu and Ubuntu a several machines from the one download of each ISO. Others may download the ISO to try or do a review and never use it again. Some people use the Distrowatch Page Hit Ranking as an indication of usage but, as pointed out on Linux Outlaws this is more an indication of 'mind share' rather than usage. So it's just a case of wild guess work in the end. -- Yorvyk ___ 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

From what I understand, PAE has a different set of paging structures compared to non-PAE. Does the kernel know to fall back onto non-PAE mode if it cannot enable PAE on a CPU? Which way to do things is basically a compile time option for the kernel, as I understand it. So, if a PAE kernel is used, it can *only* be run on processors that support the additional PAE instructions. Even if a machine only has 128MB RAM, it you try to run a PAE kernel on it, and the CPU lacks the PAE instruction, it is not going to run. The real question is: are there really any CPUs in general purpose desktops or laptops, in any significant quantity at all, that Ubuntu 11.10 i386 kernels work on, which PAE kernels do not work on? Other than the early 400MHz Pentium-M, which are pretty rare, I don't think anyone has seen such a CPU yet. Via C3 and AMD Geode LX already cannot run current Ubuntu 11.10 default kernels anyway. Having trawled the net for info on this, I have no problem with dropping the non-PAE kernel as it appears to only effect a very,very, very small number of users. Whether these are current or potential users is going to be very hard to find out, unless they start jumping up-and-down screaming. My one concern was the alleged overhead of the PAE kernel but, this appears, from the various benchmarks I've seen, to be trivial and probably unnoticeable in normal use. I have installed PAE kernels on a couple of machines, one oneiric and one precise, and have not noticed any problems so far. I would imagine by the time 12.04 is no longer supported, 32 bit ubuntus may well be limited to the ARM anyway. -- Yorvyk ___ 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

We have to change the mailing or the PPA location, or both. About the mailing list, the best solution is probably to switch to one (or 1 for user help, and 1 for devel ?) on https://lists.ubuntu.com/, since it's a more standard mailing list (no need to be member of the team). It would be nice to have the mailing list on https://lists.ubuntu.com this will bring Lubuntu on par with the other official derivatives and may make it easier for people to find, and subscribe. What would be the difference be between the user and devel lists? Having the two often leads to cross posting when there is a relatively small development team and user base. This can be seen on the LXDE lists. The PPA will probably disappears with the time, we need more specialized PPAs, instead of one with many various stuff in it. This would be helpful. PPAs with all-sorts in are only slightly short of useless, as you end you having to pin some applications to stop them upgrading in order to try a new version of another. -- Yorvyk ___ 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

Finding a time for this is ... not very easy :) I don't want to do it during the week-end, to be all able to have a week-end far from IT and Internet connection :) I also don't think we should change the time for every meetings, because it's the best solution to forget the meeting. But, we can change it after some time (like 3 months). We could alternate the times. 7PM one week 7AM another? I propose to begin with this schedule : Wednesday, 7:00 PM UTC, starting on the 23th. It'll not be necessary to attempt all the meetings. You can attempt when you have subjects to discuss, but you can also adding a subject to the schedule, so people can discuss it even if you can't be online at this time.

But, this is my opinion : - We should only consider Chromium or Firefox, because they have a strong upstream and are well maintained. Browser is a very important part of a system, and we really don't have time to do maintenance on it. Adopting Midori for example, means we have to do the maintenance on Ubuntu (triage bugs, testing, maybe some packaging ...). - Benchmark are needed, because just saying it's light, doesn't mean it's always light. Also, the memory usage for Chromium is special, because it shares memory (there is an article from a dev of Chromium somewhere in the Web which explain it). - Finally, it needs to be light on old hardware. Remember, it's the main target for Lubuntu. So far, Chromium seems better on this type of machine. So far, I don't see advantages to switch to Firefox. Of course, if the benchmarks show a real difference, I may reconsider my opinion.

I wasn't so much bothered about the size of it, I just thought —if it isn't used much there's no point having it on the disk. Software Centre requires a hex-core CPU and several gigabytes of RAM to run at anything close to a reasonable speed. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://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

As i read recently, Libre Office is getting performance improvements, but the problem is still the ram consumption vs the ram used by abiword (i use LO for writer and slideshows, but gnumeric is a magnificient tool), LO is an option? It could bring a slideshow editor to Lubuntu... Let individually decide but my guess is that Lubuntu should remain with abiword gnumeric for the concept. Midori: in many ways it could be best than chromium, but as PCMAN said, it's not stable at all . Try running Libre/open Office on a 160 MIB, 300MHz machine and I think you'll find it just becomes unpleasant. Abiword does everything I need of a word processor, and I install it on Ubuntu as Libre/Open Office is just cumbersome. As somebody who has had to sit through endless 'slide show' presentations I believe it may be one of the worst uses for a computer ever. I have Midori on one machine and keep trying it. It seems to take two steps forward then one back. It has a way to go before it is a real alternative to FF or Chromium, sadly. Games: ace of penguins is faster than anything, but they're not cool at all. Everybody i've shown this says something like looks ugly, how can i configure it?. There's nothing better around? Ace of Penquins is probably best described as functional ;) but, who needs 'looks' in card games anyway? There is however a set of icons being produced, slowly, for it. \o/ PDF viewers: i'm with Rafael on this, Evince is the best choice there is (besides, it can read a lot of formats, not only pdf ;) Evince does appear to be the most functional of PDF reader on Linux. xscreensaver makes my installations crash on every old computer i own, i already said this on the mailing list: it's heavy and it consumes energy displaying something fancy on the screen instead of just a black screen or turn it off (clearly i don't like it...); but it locks the screen, so it's necessary. I have nothing nice to say about screen-savers so will say nothing. xchat as i know is on discussion as i read recently... Pidgin would be the option. I hate Pidgin and will install XChat if it isn't installed by default. I say stick with what we've got and lets get Lubuntu twiddled and polished.

The idea being that people can install their preferred apps. or for use on Eeepc netbooks with 2 gig SSD where not every thing from the live CD may be needed.

(A) I am not used to seeing drive (presumably hard disk drive) performance being measured in Mhz -- what *is* this? The common ways to gauge hard drive performance that I know of are: * sustained data transfer rate (in MBytes/sec) * sustained I/O operations per second (IOPS/sec) Lower level (and IMO less useful) measures include average seek time, and rotational latency... those are measured in milliseconds, not MHz. Conventional hard drives are (generally speaking) never bottlenecked by their theoretical maximum interface data transfer speed, so this is not a useful drive performance metric (but *is* sometimes measured in MHz... so maybe that is what you are using?). No idea why I wrote MHz for the drive spec and not MB/s. (B) This message seem to imply that accessibility means screen reader, but there is no specification saying that which Phill has pointed us to yet. I suggest that blindness or lack of visual acuity are not the only things requiring accessibility accommodation in an OS. They *might* be the #1 priority for accessibility improvements to Lubuntu -- but without a clear specification (blueprint), we do not know this!

Why the pae kernel, do you have more than 4 GiB of RAM, of not try the generic kernel. Is it USB keyboard and mouse? Have a look at the makers site and see if there is a BIOS update for this or similar problems. Has the machine had a good clean lately, it's surprising what dust (dead skin) can do to computers. Nearly half the intermittent problems I deal with are cured by a good clean.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Fw: [Lxde-i18n] State of Transifex
For anybody on the list involved in the translation of LXDE components that isn't on the i10n list. We are NOT using Transifex any more. See below and/or the blog post about the change at http://blog.lxde.org. Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:23:19 +0100 (CET) From: Martin Bagge / brother brot...@bsnet.se To: lxde-l...@lists.sf.net Cc: lxde-i...@lists.sf.net Subject: [Lxde-i18n] State of Transifex Reporting back on the status. I have been working with informing people in the Transifex set-up that we are not using that platform any more. I have sent the message included below to all team coordinators (I might delve down and send it to all team members too...). I have posted the information as an announcement. I have removed the Transifex links from the wiki page Category:Translation and added a note to the Transifex how-to stating that it is deprecated. I have denied the team creation requests and sent the same message to the requesters as to the current leaders. On the Pootle side I have added en_gb and jv as new languages. Synced some sources. This work will continue and end up in a series of Request for translation sent to the lxde-i18n ML (this will probably happen mid April). Other ideas for things I should (try to) do? [ message sent to team leaders ]--- Subject: LXDE not using Transifex Body: Hi It has been decided that LXDE will not use Transifex at all for the foreseeable future. Transifex is and was a good tool and supported our needs in a really good way, they have on the other hand changed the work-flow entirely and we can not use it properly any more. For both online and offline translation we still provide access via Pootle at http://pootle.lxde.bsnet.se - it is integrated with the version control of the components but require some extra steps in your work-flow. See the introduction at http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Pootle_crash_course. We also urge you to join the LXDE Internationalisation mailing list at lxde-i...@lists.sourceforge.net - this is tha main channel for translation related information. The sign-up can be done at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxde-i18n.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Lost networking and bash history alpha 3
Just switched on a machine I was using yesterday to test a few things and found it had no networking or bash history, both of which worked yesterday. I have tried a couple of other installations on other machines and the only other one to display this behaviour is also a clean Alpha 3 install. The others are upgrades from Maverick or Alpha 1. All Lubuntu Natty installations were updated yesterday. I can't find any mention of this in Launchpad, so is it some thing I've done or have I update at the wrong time. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://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

Why? Does Natty need more space than Maverick? It doesn't take much more space than previous versions. The 3.2GB is just some arbitrary amount of space to give you a bit of room for swap etc. I've installed in to a 3GB partion OK. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://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

Try renaming the file, then run some commands (even cd and ls will do) Does the history regenerate ok? I was about to try that when I looked at the permissions, so I knew what permissions to give the new file. For some reason I'd no permissions at all. Reset the permissions to read/write and all is OK. No idea what caused it as there doesn't appear to be an update related to it. The networking loss was solved by reinstalling dhcp3 and NM, after creating a static IP etc. Again no recent update seems to be related to this. Odd that it only effected the two installs from the Alpha 3 CD and not those that had been upgraded from earlier releases. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://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

When logging in to Lubuntu Natty Alpha3 there's a small nuisance: in the bottom-right corner of the login screen, below the exit button, a strange-looking triangle is displayed. It proves to be a window resize handle: after it gets dragged via mouse, the whole login screen is resized as if the screen is window, leaving black background outside and producing weird artifacts on the blue waves lubuntu-style background inside. I'm able to log in normally, so it's definitely not a stopper bug, just a nuisance. I believe this will be come of some use when all the mode-setting and themeing get more reliable.
