Re: PPA for lubuntu-software-center

 

Hi all,
I'm running Lubuntu 11.04 (Natty) and it seems to run fine from the menu, not tried the cli, but will when i fire up my laptop. The only bug I get is when I load it up it stay greyed out until I select Expert mode.

Well done to all the numerous developers, who make Lubuntu a great OS for computers that should be on the scrap heap!

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?

    Ah well,

    there goes my last few brain cells. I thought it was for 11.10 and
    was not aware it was being back-ported in a complete test version
    that has bugs back to 11.04. Still, you learn something new every
    day :)

    If some one could please clarify this for me, I'd really
    appreciate it!

    Regards,

    Phill.

        upgrade went smoothly and i was able to readd the ppa and
        install lsc but am unable to run it. I try calling it from
