The topic seems to be a bit abandoned suggesting all is good as it is
not.
A little workaround since PCManFM handles the desktop well, to install CAJA
file manager with its plugins (originally comes with Mate desktop). As I work
with it for about two weeks it seems to be OK. No freeze, no problem with
Lubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
I am one of those who are enjoying lightning speed and great scalability of
Lubuntu for years, and it would be really sad having to give it up and change
to a "maybe shinier" but much slower desktop. I want to try anything to bring
it back to life since PcManFM is my favorite, but editing, renaming, copying,
moving lot of files as I do makes this freezing problem quite an annoying and
somehow dangerous. Until a reliable solution comes up I work with Caja as a
second possibility of file managing.
If any of "suffering" Lubuntu Bionic users is interested in using caja
and its plugins, install the following packages:
sudo apt install caja caja-open-terminal caja-extensions-common caja-
actions caja-image-converter mate-terminal caja-rename engrampa
("mate-terminal" is for "Open terminal here" function, and "engrampa"
archive manager is for "create-archive" function.)
Thanks, Regards,
Janos
