Re: Lubuntu Alpha 2 cancelled

 

It was recently mentioned at the forums to possibly use the "lubuntu-dev/staging" ppa for bug testing. I've been using the "lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily" ppa for quite some time and I wonder if it's safe to mix the two ppa's?

I might just add that I've encountered only a few minor problems:

1) I can't for the life of me get the hardware temp monitor to work in lxpanel.

2) I wish I could increase the font size of the clock in lxpanel (poor eyesight).

3) Double (or triple) icon in the panel showing that my network is broken, although it's not.

4) When installing only "lubuntu-core" in an existing Ubuntu installation the package "galculator" is installed, and I wonder why that's a dependency of "lubuntu-core" rather than just "lubuntu-desktop".

Note: I personally much prefer a clean install of Lubuntu anyway, but I anticipate others may want to at least try that approach.

Of course all of the above are very minor, insignificant things and I'm really impressed with Lubuntu in general. Many thanks to all involved for all of your efforts.

Hi,

Just to confirm that there will be no Alpha 2 of Lubuntu Oneiric. Works
are in progress to make it usable. I hope to have an Alpha 3 to test. 

For the build with Ubuntu ISO build system, we still blocked by
technical problems on Canonical side. I'll post when I have more news
about it.

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
