Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 Shiny
Thanks for the test. Le vendredi 26 février 2010 à 22:16 +0300, Mikhail Maksimov a écrit : Hi, I have a strange issue with the installer: if I start an English LiveCD session, then try to install a Russian version of Lubuntu, the installer displays ??? strings on the keyboard layout selection screen (see attached screenshot). I type some (Latin) chars into the test box and click Next without changing anything else. After I click through to screen #6 (user information), I cannot proceed since the keyboard is somehow blocked: no alphanumeric keys work at all. However, something else works: space, enter, arrows, ins, home, end, del, pageup, pagedown, | and \ (same key with and without Shift), maybe something else (don't know how to test Ctrl, Alt, Esc, functionals, etc.) Installing a Russian version from a Russian LiveCD session works fine. Selecting German or some Indian layout (line #8 from the bottom of the list) works in an English LiveCD session. (Works means it does not lock the keyboard, I didn't run any installation to the end so far.) Selecting Greek l11n from an English LiveCD session yields those ?? lines, but does not lock the keyboard. I understand this can be the base Ubuntu issue, but currently I have no time to download the daily iso and play with it, sorry. Hopefully someone else can do it... Yes probably, or maybe it's the lack of language support on the Live-CD. It's something to test when the installer will be more stable. Sincerely, Mikhail Maksimov PS There're also some annoying ureadahead error messages during the boot, but those don't seem to be harmful. I have also seen such messages when I tested 20100215 iso on a physical machine. I think someone else mentioned those here on the list, too. Yes, but the standard version of Ubuntu have also this messages.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 Shiny
Hi, here are some bugs I noticed(from the LiveCD so far): - Boot Screen of the LiveCD is not fully localized (the first two entries Try Lubuntu and Install Lubuntu) (misses on the Bug Repot Testing Page) - Borderless windows (like the small mixer window that appears after clicking the soundpanel applet) have borders (that allows them to even close the soundpanel applet and it won't open up again) - clicking on the trash icon in pcmanfm2 gives an error message (operation not supported) (moved files won't show up) - pcmanfm2 after open folder as root : it opens up but is missing the warning that you are working with root rights now - applications:/// is not working (I know it is still work in progress) - Are the PATHs alright ? Trying to run arp -a as user gives me an error that it is in /usr/sbin and /usr/sbin is not in path. (It wasn't there before in ubuntu. Did they change/fixed there security policy ?) - pcmanfm2 misses translation (I know is still coming but I don't want to not mention it so that we don't forget about this) - same for gnumeric - pcmanfm2 desktop creating new document or folder does not work - pcmanfm2 still misses to lighten up font color and icon if you choose to cut out a file (only a optical glitch) -pcmanfm2 sorting files and folders(particullary ascending and descending) does not work in every view or sometimes simply does nothing (seems not reproducable but happens unoccasionaly) - pcmanfm2: A problem I have with detailed list view is that I cannot access easily the properties of the current open folder. If you have a folder with lots of files you are not able to rightclick on a free space. The only solution press go up and right click the folder you where in to get to the properties. Possible solution: Create a folder icon in front of the adressbar and make it useable like a normal icon folder (drag n drop, right click etc.) These are the bugs I noticed so far in a quick 15 minute test. One big feature request for pcmanfm2 (future releases not crucial to this lubuntu release): Add a right click submenu that opens up the folder content when hovering. This is a very nice feature that was originally integrated in BeOS and would make working on desktop and in folders amazingly fast.
