Re: Roadmap proposal for Lubuntu 15.04
Le 28/10/2014 16:11, Julien Lavergne a écrit : Hi, Since we have more people involved in the development of Lubuntu, and more people are interesting to join, I would like to recreate the blueprints we had some releases ago to organize the work for this cycle. You can find them under https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-v-flavor-lubuntu The main question is the switch or not to Qt with LXQt. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have an answer now :-) On the Qt side, LXQt is usable, and it's progressing nicely. But it's far from being a complete desktop. Also, on some points, it's far for being feature complete with the gtk part (the panel and the file manager are 2 good examples). I also made a prototype recently, and it shows that there is a lot of work to make it suitable for average users. On the Gtk side, many components have been updated recently, and work continue on the panel. Also, small features are added. However, we still depends on gtk2, we don't know how long it will be supported. As the answer is not obvious, I created 2 blueprints for both sides. The idea is to keep maintaining the Gtk part (with consist on bug fixes, sync and merging packages from debian). I think the workload is minimum to keep the gtk side in good shape. However, we can start to estimate the work we have to do for the Qt side, and start to work on it. Alpha images can be generated using the same way I done it, based on the daily PPA, or on the official repositories, to have an idea of the result of a Qt port. All the blueprints are under https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-v-flavor-lubuntu (see at the bottom of the blueprint for the ones you want to comment / modify), feel free to add your comment or the work items you think we have to do (I'll do the moderator on them). If others teams want to work like this, I can help to setup the blueprint. If several people are interesting, we can have 1 or several meetings, on IRC or using the UOS support to discuss all of this. Any comments are welcome, thanks in advance :-) Regards, Julien Lavergne Thanks for opening the discussion. In my opinion, it would be interesting to switch as soon as possible to LXQt, even if it means a few regressions. Indeed, it would allow to make more tests with LXQt if it is the default desktop environment on Lubuntu, in the idea to prepare a solid LTS version for 16.04. With the reduced support delay (9 months), no LTS versions are more for advanced users. For the average user, Lubuntu 14.04 is there. Let's take advantage of our 14.04 LTS version, and accept regressions in a short term, in order to prepare a solid LTS version with LXQt in a middle term.

Re: Putting website shortcuts on the desktop in Lubuntu 14.04 LTS
Hi, It can be done with a custom .desktop file. To do it easily with the GUI : * Go in Lubuntu Menu, right click on Firefox (or an other web browser), and click on « Create a shortcut on the desktop » ; * Right click on your new shortcut, and choose « Shortcut Editor » (I am not sure of the English name) ; * In the dialog, go in the Desktop Entry tab, and modify the command. For Firefox, I have « firefox %u » : you can modify it by « firefox %u http://www.yourwebsite.com; ».

Re: Why is lubuntu-artwork not being updated in Trusty?
Hi Rafael, I understand that we have to freeze artwork for each release. But I wondered if we could hope to have some artwork bug fixes in Lubuntu 14.04.1 (I am thinking to monochrome icon in lxpanel) ? Le 10/06/2014 18:05, Rafael Laguna a écrit : We make things for a reason. When we create new icons, themes, apps or whatever, they are intended to be part of the system you have on your home. But sometimes we need to experiment, or make tests, or just ensure what we do does not affect a massive amount of computers. Box is part of Lubuntu, yes. But it's a standalone theme too, if you use another Linux distro. Also, I add lots of new icons and make changes in the GTK theme. Imagine the situation that I modify something that breaks the system on thousands of computers (it happened, trust me). Before we push the changes onto Ubuntu's main repos we have to be really really sure it works as expected. That's the reason I have a separate PPA for artwork. The same about the staging apps. When you download a system you expect it keeps stable and not changing daily. And we're Artwork Team. We cannot login in Canonical's servers everyday and say hey, I'm going to change some stuff, so your ISOs may change size and stability and package dependencies.

I then selected Manage Networks from the list of available plugins, and clicked the Add button. I then selected Network Status Monitor from the list of available plugins, and clicked the Add button. Then I fumbled around with those additional applets, right or left clicking on them, and in one combination, I actually got a list of wireless networks, of which I selected my network, and tried to connect to it (by clicking on it?). A simple dialog appeared, asking me to enter the Encryption key in a text box, which I carefully typed in (because I can't see what I'm typing), and hit the enter-key (or clicked the button to process the information). Nothing appeared to happen. There was no error message, but the network did not connect, and the icon didn't change in any way indicating it was trying to connect. With that not working, I specified System Tools (or maybe it was Preferences) from the task-bar menu, and then selected Network Connections (or something like that).

First, it does let you specify the Dvorak keyboard layout as the default. That's good. After the install, all was fine in that regard. There is a taskbar applet for switching the keyboard layout. I tried to set it up so I could switch back to the Qwerty layout if the need arises, but it ended up switching it to Qwerty, with no way to switch it back to Dvorak (very bad). So I used Synaptic Package Manager to install lxkeymap, and I removed the taskbar layout switcher (and set the radio button to only use the default layout from the install). Apparently lxkeymap (which you have to manually install) is still the only way to switch keyboard layouts in Lubuntu. Hi Aere, I tested Keyboard Layout Handler, and I encountered no problem with it. For the test, I added Bepo Layout (the dvorak french version as far I know) to my original french Layout. I was able to switch between them by pushing Shift + CapsLock or by simply clicking on the flag in the panel.

Re: Openbox Configuration Manager - Windows title font
Hi Rafael, thanks for your answer :) Le 11/08/2013 20:55, 神癒礁湖 (Rafael Laguna) a écrit : Sorry for answering late. The font by default is Ubuntu Medium (default=ubuntu-medium). It's defined on the lubuntu-default theme. I don't really understand what you mean. Your visual config seems right. My problem is that after my manipulation, I don't get the same appearance that I have on a fresh installation. Except for color, don't you find on the screenshot that title font of active window is different from title font of inactive window ? The bug of choosing Bold and it gets back to Medium is a font problem, not ours. The reason is a bit complicated to explain and it's about the metrics of the bold font. It's supposed that using Bold on a word processor should work fine, but not in little sizes, because the type is not well designed for tiny spaces, so it switches to the closer type (something like that). In a few weeks the Ubuntu Font Team will release a new package correcting some bugs (including this) as well as more types (thin, extra-bold, etc) and designed explicitely for small sizes as well as print sizes, which needs another type and kerning technology due the higher resolutions up to 300 pixels per inch of paper.

Re: Openbox Configuration Manager - Windows title font
Actually, on a fresh install, my titles (for active and inactive windows) are as the title of the inactive window on my screenshot. My problem is that I am not able to recover the same appearance anymore as soon as I modified the font. For example, I just opened the dialog box to modify the font for inactive windows, and only by validate the defaut choice without change (Ubuntu Medium), my inactive windows font changes and is now the same font as active windows one : http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1376253581.png I know it is not a very important bug, but I find this behavior a bit weird. Regards, Pierre Gobin Le 11/08/2013 22:20, 神癒礁湖 (Rafael Laguna) a écrit : I see it a bit bolder, but it can due to the rendering mode. Try modifying the font sharpness, or try another font. I suggest you Sans to check this, because of its thin forms may help to see if there's any problem. Also, install Avantgarde or aonther slim font (you can grab them free from www.dafont.com http://www.dafont.com), put them on ~/.fonts, re-login and see if the problem persists.

The font by default is Ubuntu Medium (default=ubuntu-medium). It's defined on the lubuntu-default theme. I don't really understand what you mean. Your visual config seems right. My problem is that after my manipulation, I don't get the same appearance that I have on a fresh installation. Except for color, don't you find on the screenshot that title font of active window is different from title font of inactive window ?

Openbox Configuration Manager - Windows title font
Hi, I met an annoying bug since a long time with Openbox Configuration Manager on Lubuntu. Indeed, if I try to modify windows title font from Ubuntu Medium to another, then return to Ubuntu Medium, I do not find the original aspect. Moreover, if I try to use Ubuntu Bold, Openbox Configuration Manager stay with Ubuntu Medium. So my question is to know if someone else can confirm these bugs. Also, I would like to know which is the original font used in Lubuntu, in order to find the original aspect again. If my problem is not clear enough, I may be able to make a screeenshot.

Re: Saucy artwork
Hi, I have some questions about Saucy artwork : - As Firefox will be by default on Lubuntu, can we hope that its icons will be integrated with Lubuntu (I'm talking about previous and next buttons, downloads, bookmarks). - Is an evolution planned for the home button ? I find it not very representative. - Some applications seem to use wrong icons. For example, in the menu, desktop preferences icon is monochrome. An other example, PCManFM uses a monochrome icon in its title bar. - Can we ask for have box icon for some applications which are not include in Lubuntu ? I guess it is not the priority, but I am especially thinking of VLC, Filezilla, Geany. Thanks to the whole artwork team for his incredible work !

Re: offline help / documents
Hi, I sign up on the wiki to help in the Lubuntu Manual writing. My English is not excellent, and I will not have unlimited time this year, but I think I am able to help. Tell me how it will be organized, and how I can be helpful :) Kind Regards, Pierre Gobin Le 15/05/2013 02:06, Phill Whiteside a écrit : Hi, it was a good meeting, the major work items are at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-s-lubuntu-work-items the task for me is the offline docs. I request that people interested in this area make them selves known on the new sub-sections of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationTeam so we can gauge how many are committed to help. As Julien said in the meeting, the last thing we need is two 'off-line' areas partly done instead of one fully done. Please take comments / questions etc. to the lubuntu-wiki-docs[1] mailing list.

They are available on the PPA : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/non-official-apps Menulibre : It's a an editor for the menu which work on many desktop environment. Xubuntu people are interested to include it as well. Viewnor : A simple image viewer, which we talk about a lot since a long time :-) Please test them, and report back your experience with them.
