Re: PPA for lubuntu-software-center

 

Hi everyone.

I'm Jean Austin of Ubuntu Team Philippines. I read about this interesting
news in OMG! Ubuntu! online a few days ago and decided to try it. I am
running a virtualized Lubuntu 11.10 that I recently upgraded to test the
beta. However, like Matthew, I encountered the same error message when
launching Lubuntu Software Center in a Terminal (with and without 'sudo'). I
also tried launching it from the LXDE menu but unfortunately had problems
too.

I tried filing a bug report but an error box appeared and said [Problem in
... lubuntu-software-center] "The problem cannot be reported: This is not a
genuine Ubuntu package."

Probably missed something to add or do?

I'll try some things more and would report to this list as soon as I can.


Glad to be of help anytime, anywhere. Regards to everyone in the team,

Jean Austin / Philippines


P.S. Is there a way we can export this email thread to Launchpad as a whole
bug report?
