Re: LXQt test and Lubuntu 14.04

2014-01-02 Thread Israel
I just did an update and got an update on the lubuntu session, so who 
knows there may be no bugs now (my panel is highly configured and I 
haven't rebooted today)
There are still some packages that haven't made it into trusty, so make 
sure the programs you like are around.
(Variety is not here yet... so I am missing my wonderful NASA photos of 
the day)
If it is a spare machine, then just go for it, this is just as stable as 
13.10 was for me.  I haven't encountered a glitch I didn't expect.

I have been running 14.04 with no problems yet.  The lack of a
shutdown button is not a huge deal especially for ex-windows
users, as they are used to opening the applications menu to
shutdown any way, and I simply made a desktop file called
shutdown.desktop with
lxsession-logout as the exec...
I really wanted LXQt to work but I can wait :)

You knew we had talented artists, just look at the icons!!

heads up about the no shutdown button

changing the dots unending.
I tried a few things like editing the lightdm conf files (all

 This was on 13.10 so it may work better in 14.04, but I will
wait a little while before trying that again.
Good news is 14.04 runs great.  So far it is rock solid.
I am having one issue... no shutdown button...  not sure why.
So, I am thinking it would be great to make a desktop file
for the
lxsession-logout
and have something like
OnlyShowIn=Lubuntu
So it could be added back in easily for people that
accidentally configure their panel too much and delete
something, and then can't find the shutdown applet.
It would be better if it was an applet to add to the panel,
but I suppose with efforts toward LXQt the desktop file would
be sufficient for 14.04 users.
