Lack of Lubuntu package testcases for wily
I recently started doing QA for Lubuntu, and I have noticed that not many people(none at this point in time for that matter) do the package QA testing. I took to the #lubuntu-devel IRC and wxl suggested that I send this email. There is a lack of individuals working on QA package testing for Lubuntu. Now, I am a teen and since my parents are divorced, and my wily machine is at my mother's apartment, I wouldn't mind some help so we can make this move along the testing for wily.

The theory of upgrading from 14.04 to 15.04 using /etc/apt/sources.list
Has anyone ever tried upgrading right to 15.04 by just editing /etc/apt/sources.list and replacing where it says trusty with vivid, then doing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? Does it work? If it doesn't work, why?

[lubuntu-users] Lubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) released
Thanks to all the hard work from our contributors, we are pleased to announce that Lubuntu 16.04 LTS has been released! With the codename Xenial Xerus, Lubuntu 16.04 LTS is the 10th release of Lubuntu, and the second long term support release. Lubuntu 16.04 LTS will be supported until April 2019, with three years of support. WHAT IS LUBUNTU? Lubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE), as its default GUI. The goal is to provide a very lightweight distribution, with all the advantages of the Ubuntu world (repositories, support, etc.). Lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. Such users may not know how to use command line tools, and in most cases they just don't have enough resources for all the bells and whistles of the "full-featured" mainstream distributions. With many LXDE components, Lubuntu[1] also uses well-known applications, such as Firefox, Openbox, Pidgin, to name a few. The Lubuntu project wiki[2] contains more information on the project. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT? On the Ubuntu cdimage server[3], we have images for the following architectures: - amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit) - i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit) - PowerPC (Macintosh images) The release notes[4] are here if you wish to read them. We have left out some notes that are common to all flavors, so read the Ubuntu release notes if you wish. WHAT’S IMPROVED SINCE 15.10? - General bug fix release as we prepare to switch to LXQt. - Many LXDE components have been updated with bug fixes. - The artwork has been updated with more icons, theme updates, a new wallpaper, etc. WHAT’S IMPROVED SINCE 14.04? - Many under-the-hood improvements, such as the replacement of upstart with systemd. More information is available in the Ubuntu release notes linked above. - A significant amount of LXDE bug fixes and improvements. - Massive artwork improvements. - lubuntu-extra-sessions: In the past, selecting different sessions (netbook, gaming etc.) was installed by default. This is now an optional extra that can be installed by those who want this added functionality. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Lubuntu is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old. Memory (RAM) For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Drive, and Facebook, your computer needs at least 1 GB of RAM. For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM. Processor (CPU) The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and AMD K7 has problems with flash video. Graphics Nvidia, AMD/ATI/Radeon and Intel work out of the box, or the system can be tweaked to work fairly easily. You can get help at the Ubuntu Forums[6]. With such graphics, or if you don't know, try the current Lubuntu version. HOW DO I GET SUPPORT? Our support channel is #lubuntu on IRC[7]. If you don’t have an IRC client, click the link in the earlier sentence, type in a nickname, press start, state your question and press Enter to speak. We also have the lubuntu-users mailing list. You do not need to subscribe to the mailing list to ask a question. Send an email to lubuntu-users AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com. HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE? We always need more help! If you would like to contribute, head over to our Getting Involved page[8]. We need help with Reporting bugs, Translations, Tests/QA, Code & patches, Artwork, Documentation, and Marketing/Press. If you have any questions about contributing, please join #lubuntu-devel on Freenode or email the lubuntu-devel mailing list[9] at lubuntu-devel AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com.

I honestly do not know. There are earlier versions, later versions, and in the end, having a massive amount of packages compiled by hand and thrown into a PPA when we already have packages in the repositories, especially when the PPA breaks every so often just isn't worth it to use. I think the reason why the packages are in there(I could be wrong) was because we were waiting for LXQt packages to make it into the repositories but now that is not the case. My PPA is for a *single* package that takes packages that get migrated from Debian where they have a whole team hacking on it and that gets it from upstream. So while I appreciate the effort that Julien makes, it's not reliable at this point in time. This is just until Julien gets the LXQt metapackage into Ubuntu, this is meant to be a temporary replacement for that. He might use it for a staging repository for fixes, but in that case it is *not* wise at all to recommend it in *any* *way* to people wanting to try out LXQt. LXQt has it's own problems, and I feel that pushing possibly-non-production-ready packages to a PPA that we are recommending is foolish. On 04/24/16 15:22, Phill.

Re: [lubuntu-users] issues Installing LXQT\ubuntu using the wiki page
I've modified the wiki page[1] to state: "At this time, we are waiting for the LXQt metapackage to be included in the Ubuntu repositories. For now, use the ppa:tsimonq2/lxqt-meta PPA for an up-to-date metapackage. The purpose of this PPA is to simplify installing the packages required for LXQt. '''This is only a metapackage and contains no other packages.''' It takes all packages from the Ubuntu repositories and therefore is preferred over using the Lubuntu Daily PPA for the sole purpose of using LXQt because the Lubuntu Daily PPA has extra packages that tend to conflict with others."

Re: [lubuntu-users] Unexpected system restart requested.
Greetings, The difference between restarting after a regular software update and a release update is that the latter usually requires a restart just to be safe. For example, 14.04 -> 16.04 is two years of software updates. Open source software really evolves in that timespan. So if it is just a few updates, I totally see your point. But for something as massive as a release update, to be safe, you should restart.

Next, type the following to remount / as a readable and writable partition: mount -o remount,rw / Then, if you had /home or anything else on separate partitions, run: mount --all Then, after that, run the following to ensure Lubuntu is installed: apt update && apt install lubuntu-desktop I haven't done this in a while, so I don't know if it has networking right away, but to get networking, run: ifup --all If it prompts you to install some packages, great.

[lubuntu-users] [ANN] Lubuntu Bug Day
Greetings, My name is Simon Quigley and I am a member of the Lubuntu Team. The Lubuntu team is running a bug day on Tuesday, July 26, 2016. It’s a spin of a hug day. We will have an Ubuntu On Air session on Monday, July 25, 2016 from 19 to 20 UTC. I will give a presentation for the first half, then for the second half, I will be joined by Walter Lapchynski and we will answer questions provided to us over IRC. I strongly recommend that you either attend the session or watch the archive, because we might answer a question that you have. To attend, go to http://ubuntuonair.com/ during the date/time I listed above. What’s a Hug day? From the Ubuntu Bug Day wiki page[1]: "A Hug Day is a special day where the Ubuntu Community comes together with a shared goal of triaging bugs for a specific package or set of packages. Working together allows us to share knowledge and give some much needed assistance to the Ubuntu Developers. The term Hug Day is a spin on Bug Day; every time someone triages a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution." What bugs are we targeting? The Lubuntu team has a team called the Lubuntu Packages Team[2]. It was created to help track all the bugs related to Lubuntu, and it is a very useful team for subscribing to all of the Lubuntu-related bugs. We would like to ensure that this team stays up to date with all the Lubuntu bugs, so we can make sure that our development team has an eye on them. To do this, we need to go through the following steps: 1. Find a bug that affects software preinstalled in Lubuntu. 2. Triage[3] the bug accordingly, and if it still exists in a reproducible state, subscribe the Lubuntu packages team. 3. Add the bug to our known bugs list[4]. Where is the communication for this event happening? Join the #lubuntu-devel channel on freenode, this is the Lubuntu team’s IRC channel, and people will be around to help. If you don’t have an IRC client, Kiwi IRC is a decent web client: http://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/#lubuntu-devel If you have any questions, don't hesitate to visit our IRC channel or send me an email. I hope to see you there!

Re: [lubuntu-users] Installation using mini.iso for i386-16.04 freezes loading nic-firmware package
Hi Nio, First of all, thank you for looking into this. Can you personally confirm this bug? If not, could you please ask OP to file a bug report? In that bug report, please subscribe the Lubuntu Packages Team. We can then determine whether or not this is a Lubuntu and/or Ubuntu Server bug as well. I'm predicting that it doesn't affect Lubuntu and/or Ubuntu Server because the mini.iso cuts down on a lot of different packages, but I could be wrong.

[lubuntu-users] Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS has been released!
Thanks to all the hard work from our contributors, we are pleased to announce that Lubuntu 16.04.1 LTS has been released! This release provides updates to the Lubuntu 16.04 LTS to reduce the update time post-download and an upgrade path for users running Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT? On the Ubuntu cdimage server[1], we have images for the following architectures: - amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit) - i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit) The release notes[2] are here if you wish to read them. We have left out some notes that are common to all flavors, so read the Ubuntu release notes[3] if you wish. This release does NOT include PowerPC, although users of the PowerPC platform can still receive updates. KNOWN BUGS To see the list of known bugs, please take a look at our release notes[2]. We also have a list of Lubuntu-specific bugs that have been fixed since the release of 16.04. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Lubuntu is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old. Memory (RAM) For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Drive, and Facebook, your computer needs at least 1 GB of RAM. For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM. Processor (CPU) The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and AMD K7 has problems with flash video. Graphics Nvidia, AMD/ATI/Radeon and Intel work out of the box, or the system can be tweaked to work fairly easily. You can get help at the Ubuntu Forums[4]. With such graphics, or if you don't know, try the current Lubuntu version. HOW DO I GET SUPPORT? Our support channel is #lubuntu on freenode IRC[5]. If you don’t have an IRC client, click the link in the earlier sentence, type in a nickname, press start, state your question and press Enter to speak. We also have the lubuntu-users mailing list. You do not need to subscribe to the mailing list to ask a question. Send an email to lubuntu-users AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com. HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE? We always need more help! If you would like to contribute, head over to our Getting Involved page[6]. We need help with Reporting bugs, Translations, Tests/QA, Code & patches, Artwork, Documentation, and Marketing/Press. If you have any questions about contributing, please join #lubuntu-devel on Freenode or email the lubuntu-devel mailing list[7] at lubuntu-devel AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com.

Re: [lubuntu-users] 16.04.1 for powerpc
Greetings, If you look at the release announcement, it states: > This release does NOT include PowerPC, although users of the PowerPC platform > can still receive updates. This is because we received *zero* testing for PowerPC in 16.04.1. If you want these images in the future, make sure they are tested[1]. :) I hope this answers your question!

Re: [lubuntu-users] State of PPC
the record, when I post release announcements on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and elsewhere, *I* respond when users say, "I'm having an issue with X Y Z." I either link them to a bug report saying, "we're working on it," I tell them, "I can confirm this and I filed a bug, thank you so much for telling us about this," I ask them, "can you clarify Z for me?," or I say, "I'm really sorry, but I can't confirm this given your current setup. Could you please file a bug? https://launchpad.net/link/to/package/+filebug."; I just make sure that they know we're listening and understand. In fact, could you link me to some of these forums? Maybe I should link the release announcements there and respond to responses on that. I could also look at some threads and instruct people on filing bugs and reporting issues that a bunch of people are having in a way we can see it. And the fact of the matter is that when people complain, "the devs aren't paying attention!" or "the devs don't care," we do. We want to make sure that Lubuntu is better for everyone. We just don't have the time to scour the internet for people claiming, "it works!" or "we have this problem" on release day to be able to follow through where the people writing didn't. We want to release. So the time that person spent grumbling about the problem and how it is a big issue could be time spent reporting it. All it takes is *one* person reporting a problem in the correct channels to get it fixed. In fact, take a look at our release announcement: > How do I get support? > Our support channel is #lubuntu on freenode IRC. If you don’t have an IRC > client, click the link in the earlier sentence, type in a nickname, press > start, state your question and press Enter to speak.

I think I've gotten the point across and I hope we're on the same page. Sorry if this rant seems a bit harsh, but it's the reality that we are facing today. Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: [lubuntu-users] uploaded: almost the released 16.04.1 LTS version for PowerPC
The Lubuntu team unfortunately can NOT recommend these images due to Phill not being a member of the team any more[1] and it not being an official server or builder. To be clear, we didn't release Lubuntu 16.04.1 for PowerPC, and there are no official images that we can recommend. I would recommend that people stay away from these images because of the aforementioned concerns.

[lubuntu-users] Lubuntu Yakkety Yak Alpha 2 Call for Testing
Greetings, I apologize for being late on this, my fault. It's time again! The Lubuntu team needs your help testing Lubuntu Yakkety Alpha 2 so we can release tomorrow. We just need the tests completed that are on http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/ . Right now I'm working on the release notes for Alpha 2[1]. Check back in a few hours if you want to proofread/confirm the notes. If you found any new bugs, please link to them on the release notes. If you found any other way to help that hasn't been listed above, respond to this email, send me an email, or join #lubuntu-devel on freenode[2] and mention it there. As for not getting this out sooner, yesterday I realized that nobody stepped up to help with the global Alpha 2 release yesterday and Lubuntu was looking to do one (I've had my eye on this for a while), so late afternoon US time yesterday, I stepped up. After that, I got tired and had to go to sleep, I slept all day today, and I recently woke up. That's why this didn't get out a few days ago, and I'm really sorry. My fault. For those of you who can test before we release, thank you. But I understand all of you can't. >From the recent discussions about PPC, I'd like to mention that we do not release PPC on non-LTS releases, so although the testing helps, and we still need people to test to make sure it doesn't break, we won't be releasing a PPC image.

We really need to confirm what Bryan is saying. If he is correct and Lubuntu Desktop really takes less resources than Lubuntu Alternate, there is no use in keeping Alternate images. We need someone on real hardware from each architecture (amd64, i386, AND PowerPC) to test limits on their hardware. Here's what you have to do to help. 1. Grab the following images: a. Yakkety Daily Alternate b. Xenial Daily Alternate c. Yakkety Daily Live d. Xenial Daily Live 2. Boot an image of your choice setting the mem=MB boot parameter. Here's a guide on doing that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters 3. Select "Install Lubuntu" 4. Install the operating system on your computer. 5. Repeat steps 2-4 decreasing the amount of RAM until you get a failure due to the lack of available RAM. 6. Repeat steps 2-5 with all of the images. 7. Respond reporting your results. Also, now's the time to make your case for keeping alternate images. If the results turn up that Desktop takes less resources, we will ask for it to stop being produced unless we have a good reason to keep it. Have a nice day, and get testing! :) -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@ubuntu.com tsimonq2 on freenode and OFTC -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Re: [lubuntu-users] Does a default Lubuntu dark theme exist?
We're working hard on getting LXQt ready, so I look forward to it as well. :) I've been using LXQt for the past few months and there's a few things I really like about LXQt. I'll share those in a blog post once we finally work out issues with lubuntu-default-settings (our current roadblock, upstream needs to make it easier for downstream to use custom configs) and I get an MP approved with all of the new default settings. That is why on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt it says not to install the package yet, because the default settings provided are not the best (for example, the panel menu (for lack of a better word) doesn't have log out or shut down buttons! eek!). So it's a work in progress but it's going. :) If you want to say hello on IRC, here is a link to a client with no captcha (I link this to people either way but that's an added bonus for scrooyahoo ;) ) but it does require you to not use Tor (although most VPNs *do* work). https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/#lubuntu-devel In addition, as Walter said, join the lubuntu-devel list if you want to help out Lubuntu. We could always need more help! :) https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-devel When I get a minute in the next few days (school starting tomorrow :/), I'll update the LXQt wiki page with places I see people can help, and I encourage other members of the Lubuntu team to fill our areas on that page to show what needs to be done on your side of things for LXQt.

[lubuntu-users] What I didn't get a chance to talk about at the meeting
Hello everyone, I had a few agenda items I wanted to discuss at the recent Lubuntu meeting, but unfortunately I didn't do the math right on the time zones and I ended up not being able to attend. BUG DAY: Walter wanted a report on Bug Day, but to make it short, nothing happened. Nobody seemed to pop in on IRC, and I didn't see any bug activity in particular. LUBUNTU MANUAL: Slow progress (been busy with a lot of different things). I would always appreciate the help. Here's the GitHub repo which should have all the details if you'd like to give us a hand: https://github.com/lubuntu-team/lubuntu-manual I don't think it applies to DocumentationStringFreeze (which was today) because it's not a package. If it all goes as planned, there will be time before release to translate, if desired. LXQt/PLANS FOR 16.10 AND 17.04: We won't get LXQt 0.11 in the archive for 16.10 because they didn't release yet. Hopefully for 17.04 we'll be good to go. I've heard that LXQt 0.11 provides a lot of improvements, so I'm looking forward to it. :) (maybe I'll get it in a PPA somewhere and take it for a test drive, who knows? ;) ) Lubuntu team, I would like to propose that we at the very minimum provide an image with a fully featured Lubuntu with LXQt for 17.04 (if not default). This would include LXQt 0.11 (or 0.12, depending on their timing) and would have all the default settings set. Even if we can't do it, it would be a nice goal to set, just to have something to work towards. It seems we're just waiting on a patch to be merged into Qt[1] so we can set an environment variable to make our default settings apply correctly[2]. Then, depending on when it's merged and what version of Qt ships with 17.04, we might have to get the patch cherry-picked[3]. I'm CCing Palo Kisa who has been awesome in helping me figure out a few little quirks along the way (for example, this pull request which will really help us in the future: https://github.com/lxde/liblxqt/pull/104 ), just in case he has anything to add. But, I honestly don't see this happening right away as 16.10 is right around the corner (we can use PPAs to test, though). Something to consider would be doing what Kubuntu does. If an individual running 16.10 would like to use LXQt from the Yakkety archive, we can upload to a backports PPA. Thoughts on this, Julien? Within the next day or two, I'll get a tarball and some instructions on installing LXQt and manually applying the default settings I whipped up, so people can get testing. I haven't had a good experience building ISOs, but I'll try again in a few days as well. For those people who are unaware, we currently have a blocker in our LXQt transition. We would like to apply some default settings, but there are currently some upstream blockers (Qt at the moment, there might be another blocker in the future, who knows?) that we have to unblock to be able to continue. Lubuntu team (especially Julien), objections? Lubuntu community, about the above, more opportunities to test things will certainly come very soon (within the next few weeks). We look forward to any feedback you might have. :) I encourage feedback on anything I wrote about here. Have a good night everyone! [1] https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/169245/ [2] An environment variable has to be set so LXQt knows which settings to use. [3] Just that patch could be put in the Ubuntu Qt package, which allows for things like this to be immediately worked with. -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@lubuntu.me tsimonq2 on freenode and OFTC -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

[lubuntu-users] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Lubuntu 16.10 Released!
Thanks to all the hard work from our contributors, Lubuntu 16.10 has been released! With the codename Yakkety Yak, Lubuntu 16.10 is the 11th release of Lubuntu, with support until July 2017. We even have Lenny the Lubuntu mascot[1] dressed up for the occasion! WHAT IS LUBUNTU? Lubuntu is an official Ubuntu flavor based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE). The project’s goal is to provide a lightweight yet functional distribution. Lubuntu specifically targets older machines with lower resources, but also runs great on newer hardware. Along with a simple but usuable graphical user interface, Lubuntu comes with a wide variety of applications chosen for their small footprint so you can browse, email, chat, play, and be productive. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT? On the Ubuntu cdimage server[2], we have images for the following architectures: - amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit) - i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit) The release notes are here if you wish to read them[3]. We have left out some notes that are common to all flavors, so read the Ubuntu release notes[4] if you wish. WHAT'S IMPROVED SINCE 16.04? - We now ship with Linux Kernel 4.8. - General bug fix release as we prepare to switch to LXQt. - LXDE components have been updated with bug fixes. - The artwork has received an update. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Lubuntu is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old. *Memory (RAM)* For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Drive, and Facebook, your computer needs at least 1 GB of RAM. For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM. *Processor (CPU)* The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and the AMD K7 has problems with Flash video. HOW DO I GET SUPPORT? Our support channel is #lubuntu on freenode IRC[5]. If you don’t have an IRC client, click the link in the earlier sentence, type in a nickname, press start, state your question and press Enter to speak. We also have the lubuntu-users mailing list.

If you have any questions about contributing, please join #lubuntu-devel on freenode or email the lubuntu-devel mailing list at lubuntu-devel AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com. KNOWN ISSUES For known issues, please see the release notes[3]. LXQt Unfortunately, we could not get LXQt ready in time for 16.10, so Lubuntu 16.10 ships with LXDE.

[lubuntu-users] Ending Lubuntu Zesty Daily PowerPC Builds
Hello everyone, I noticed we still had PowerPC Daily Builds enabled, and after the Technical Board decided[1] to remove the 32-bit powerpc architecture in future releases, Lubuntu will no longer be able to have a PowerPC Zesty release past Feature Freeze. I propose we remove the Lubuntu Zesty Daily PowerPC Builds effective Monday, February 13, 2017, if that's alright with everyone. This will ensure that we have adequate time to make sure the removal is clean and leaves no outstanding issues on the 16th when the architecture is removed. LTS support for PowerPC systems will not go away, lasting until April of 2019, so if you have a system that uses the PowerPC architecture on Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, you can expect security updates from the Ubuntu archive until April of 2021, or support from *us* until April of 2019[2] (only a *three* year support period as opposed to five for the entire archive, if that makes sense).

We have left out some notes that are common to all flavors, so read the Ubuntu release notes[3] if you wish. This release does NOT include PowerPC, although users of the PowerPC platform can still receive updates. This is due to the fact that PowerPC users would be left with an unsupported kernel after support is dropped in the development release, Zesty Zapus.

[lubuntu-users] Call for testing: Lubuntu 17.04 FINAL images
We're nearing April 13th, the release date for Lubuntu 17.04. We need your help in testing Lubuntu 17.04 so we can release on Thursday. The Lubuntu team needs help testing to make sure that the ISO boots and installs the system correctly, and can reboot into a Lubuntu desktop without any critical errors. We strongly recommend that you use real hardware, not virtual machines. While virtual machines are useful, complete testing includes watching out for edge cases. To install Lubuntu, grab an image, write it to a USB drive (or burn it to a DVD) and follow the instructions listed on the ISO QA tracker[1]. When you begin testing, mark the test case as "In Progress" and after following the instructions, make sure to edit your result and indicate if it was successful or if you ran into any problems. If you see that the images are already tested, don't let that discourage you. We would like to see more than one successful result for each test case, so feel free to test it again. Also, don't be afraid to help out any other flavors that are missing submissions -- the process for doing this is pretty universal. If you find any new bugs that haven't been reported on the release notes for Final Beta, please file a bug report and add it to the release notes. Please watch out and heavily test the following two things: - We have a new LXPanel, please make sure it works properly. - Ubuntu has switched the underlying DNS resolver to systemd-resolved, so please test that DNS works properly on all of your systems. Lastly, I'll be working on the release notes[2] within the next couple of days. Please don't be afraid to correct any problems you might find. Happy testing!

[lubuntu-users] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Lubuntu 17.04 has been released!
Thanks to all the hard work from our contributors, Lubuntu 17.04 has been released! With the codename Zesty Zapus, Lubuntu 17.04 is the 12th release of Lubuntu, with support until of January 2018. WHAT IS LUBUNTU? Lubuntu is an official Ubuntu flavor based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE). The project’s goal is to provide a lightweight yet functional distribution. Lubuntu specifically targets older machines with lower resources, but also runs great on newer hardware. Along with a simple but usuable graphical user interface, Lubuntu comes with a wide variety of applications chosen for their small footprint so you can browse, email, chat, play, and be productive. WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT? On the Ubuntu cdimage server[1], we have images for the following architectures: - amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit) - i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit) The release notes are here if you wish to read them[2]. We have left out some notes that are common to all flavors, so read the Ubuntu release notes[3] if you wish. WHAT'S IMPROVED SINCE 16.10? - We now ship with Linux Kernel 4.10. - General bug fix release as we prepare to switch to LXQt. - LXDE components have been updated with bug fixes. - The artwork has received an update. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Lubuntu is a good operating system for many old computers, but not for all of them. Some computers have too little horsepower or memory. A rule of thumb is that the computer should not be more than 10 years old. *Memory (RAM)* For advanced internet services like Google+, YouTube, Google Drive, and Facebook, your computer needs at least 1 GB of RAM. For local programs like LibreOffice and simple browsing habits, your computer needs at least 512 MB of RAM. *Processor (CPU)* The minimum specification for CPU is Pentium 4 or Pentium M or AMD K8. Older processors are too slow and the AMD K7 has problems with Flash video. HOW DO I GET SUPPORT? We recommend that you email the lubuntu-users mailing list. Send an email to lubuntu-users AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com. If you prefer IRC, our support channel is #lubuntu on freenode IRC[4]. If you don’t have an IRC client, click the link in the earlier sentence, type in a nickname, press start, state your question and press Enter to speak. HOW DO I CONTRIBUTE? We always need more help! If you would like to contribute, head over to our Getting Involved page[5]. If you have any questions about contributing, please join #lubuntu-devel on freenode or email the lubuntu-devel mailing list at lubuntu-devel AT lists DOT ubuntu DOT com. KNOWN ISSUES For known issues, please see the release notes[2]. LXQt Unfortunately, we could not get LXQt ready in time for 17.04, so Lubuntu 17.04 ships with LXDE.

[lubuntu-users] Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 1 has been released!
Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 1 (soon to be 17.10) has been released! Also in this release (in addition to the usual LXDE ISO) is an experimental image with LXQt instead of LXDE. For the LXDE edition, we have a couple papercuts listed in the release notes[1], so please take a look there. You can grab the Lubuntu images from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/artful/alpha-1/ *We recommend that if you install Lubuntu Artful Aardvark Alpha 1, that you download the LXDE edition rather than the experimental LXQt ISO. The LXQt ISO will most likely break your system.* If you would like to read the release notes for Lubuntu Next (the *experimental* LXQt edition of Lubuntu), you can find them here[2]. The release notes lists all of the known issues for the images. You can grab the *experimental* Lubuntu Next images from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu-next/releases/artful/alpha-1/ A big thanks to the whole Lubuntu team and contributors for helping pull this release together! If you would like to join our team and help make Lubuntu 17.10 the best release ever, feel free to get involved[3]! Any contribution of your time, no matter how small or trivial, helps us in the long run.

[lubuntu-users] Call for testing: SRU for LXTerminal
Hello everyone! In Debian, a fix for an issue was applied from upstream that was affecting LXTerminal, where tabs could not be renamed. This has been available in Artful for a bit, but I have been working on getting the fix in the archive for Zesty. The fix has been uploaded to zesty-proposed and now needs some testing. All of the details are available on https://pad.lv/1703307 including what was fixed, and we now need some people to help confirm that the update does not introduce any regressions and that it works. The more people test the better, and the quicker it is tested, the quicker it gets released for all users of Lubuntu 17.04 to enjoy. So please, if you could help us out, that would be great. Thanks! -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@lubuntu.me tsimonq2 on freenode and OFTC 5C7A BEA2 0F86 3045 9CC8 C8B5 E27F 2CF8 458C 2FA4 -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
