Re: [lubuntu-users] Booting into the dreaded black screen . . . pedal to the metal

Hello Peter, When you wrote this mail to me, did you think of PC or PPC or both? I think too, that it should often work in text mode, but there are problems with systemd, that it works with either graphics mode or text mode. I found this link: http://ask.xmodulo.com/boot-into-command-line-ub

Hi Walter, we have exactly ONE page for LXQt How is having two operating systems running side by side a better case of having two wiki areas? We are committed to Qt and it appears Ubuntu are committed to moving from Moinmoin to MediaWiki. Have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Develope

Re: [lubuntu-users] [lubuntu-devel] LXQt wiki area

You seem to be missing the fact that we all agree that MediaWiki is better than Moin. I don't want two wikis to have to maintain. If we can have someone else do the work of securing and maintaining our wiki, it's less for us to deal with. It would be the same for our WordPress site of we let Canoni

I'm up for what the boss, i.e. the team, agrees on, too. My vote is to continue to use Moin. Ubuntu is done with it and are working on fixing the scripts so they can move entirely over to MediaWiki. Everything already on Moin will get magically converted. If we make our own thing, we have administr

Well, it is vote time. I'm for not the fact that even fedora devs had a makeshift script to convert things from moin to mediawiki[1] Any one wanting to make a new project under moinmoin is making for more work in the future. But, I'm up for what the boss says. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MoinM

Re: [lubuntu-users] [lubuntu-devel] LXQt wiki area

IMHO we should write everything in MoinMoin then wait for the conversion so people can still view the wiki now and continue to hack on it but when the conversion runs, we have everything already available and set in place. -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@ubuntu.com tsimonq2 on Freenode -- Lubuntu-
