Julien,

I'm pretty new to this organized testing effort, but I started testing Ubuntu on my own in late 2007 on PCs and Macs.

When I started Lubuntu precise testing recently, I was wondering why the login screen looked, well, so plain. Ubuntu and variants had a history of greeting users with rather interesting screens (and startup sounds).

I found an old email exchange you had with someone from last spring explaining the switch from LXDM to LightDM. I understand the general move to LightDM, support and consistency, but:

1) LightDM simply doesn't offer a very polished look on Lubuntu. Users are greeted to screen reminiscent of an old Windows server or AIX in my old days.
2) While LightDM works for PowerPC, there seems to be a problem with the graphics, as the login area is black, with white type, no buttons, or highlighted data entry areas.  This seems to get fixed then regress with the various nightly builds. I've filed a bug report.

I'm asking for an improved look for LightDM and a fix for the PowerPC graphic bug or a switch back to LXDM for Lubuntu.

Thanks for listening.

 

 

Sincerely,
Paul Gorski

Subject: Re: [Lubuntu-qa] Blue tooth and Macs


It is on my todo list. We dropped gnome Bluetooth, but we have to find another for Bluetooth without gnome depends. Blueman should do it, I just need to add it to the default install.

Hi Boss,


I know we dropped bluetooth from 12.04 for i686 & amd64 due to lack of need. It appears blue tooth is much more used in the Mac world (some of them come with blue tooth keyboard & mouse with wired ones an optional extra, for example). I'm hopeful it is not a case of asking for a Feature Freeze exception, but simply putting blue tooth back into mac build iso's?


They have tried manually adding it back in, but it really does not function at all well with pcmanfm when they do. Is it possible to get in by default for them as the Mac ISO's have their own list of packages to be installed so that they can see if it is a pcmanfm problem. If you need a bug raising to support this, I'm sure they will do so.


thanks,


Phill.
