lubuntu – new programs by default

lubuntu
I just added 6 new programs to the seed to cover some missing features. They will be installed by default in the next upload of the seed :- xfce4-taskmanager : for monitoring tasks, the origin of lxtask - parcellite : for a clipboard manager (not start on login for now) - hardinfo : for information on the system - osmo : for managing event, calendar ... - language-selector : for installing language packs - software-properties-gtk : for managing sources in synatic The splash is still missing, but as plymouth was just uploaded, I prefer to wait more before adding it to the seed.If you think the seed need other programs to be added (not replaced !), please speak now :)For discussion on existing applications, please begin a new thread or…

lubuntu – get involved

lubuntu
Julien Lavergne posted ways to get involved into lubuntu on the mailing list of the project and I am reposting his suggestions here. This is a quick summarize for people wanted to help on Lubuntu. In general, all tasks will be documented on the Subteams pages: Packages and Code: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/CodingAndPackagingSubTeam Artwork : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/ArtworkSubTeam Doc : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/DocumentationSubTeam Translations : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TranslationSubTeam Testing : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams/TestingSubTeam == Participate to the LXDE project == This is the most efficient way to contribute to Lubuntu. If you want a functionality, translate a package etc … you should directly work with LXDE. LXDE site: http://lxde.orgLXDE mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=lxde-list SVN repository: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxde/develop == Create an artwork for Lubuntu == We don’t have an original artwork, and it’s an important goal for Lucid.

Default applications on Lubuntu 10.04 – Summarize of the UDS Session

lubuntu
a quick summarize of the session we had in UDS about the workflow for choosing default applications, and with a current proposal. Blueprint : https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-default-applications Complete spec : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/LubuntuLucidApplications Current consensus was to stay with the list of applications we have for Karmic (but please read until the end of this mail :)) The general proposal for the roadmap is the following : - Determine areas not currently covered in Karmic seed that still need to be addressed - Discuss applications that could be replaced - Organize a IRC meeting to stop the applications list For problematic applications, we'll need discussions preferably with advantages/disadvantages, benchmarks (memory and CPU usage , dependencies, installed space ...). The goal is not to replace all the seed, but focus on some keys applications that…

lubuntu RAM and CPU Requirements

lubuntu
We don't have for now the requierement needed for Lubuntu, because some components are still in developpement.However, I done some testing on Karmic + LXDE/Lubuntu packages updated from Lucid + some adjustements, and a session start with 50-60 Mo, according to the taskmanager. So in your case, the memory could be a bit short to be confortable.For the processor, I can't test if it's useable. But It will be a good candidate for testing Lubuntu Lucid, and I will be happy to have your feedback on it.
