Ubuntu :: Lubuntu And Mini Don't Mix?
Sep 7, 2010
my first go around with LXDE has been miserable. I got every machine I've had my hands on working great with KDE, Gnome (both in netbook too), and XFCE. however I decided to get as light as possible with my netbook after this glorious Lucid upgrade (I hate to change when I've got it how I want... but it was time for a LTS) and try Lubuntu.
So here's the snag. I have a HP mini 110 1125NR and travel very often, and speed is sometimes of the essence, and because for the netbook I don't need all the eye candy yet and want something fast. I got Lubuntu for it's built-in netbook interface and got the install fine (in safe graphics of course).... and I don't like any build I've seen with the Chromium OS except maybe Hexxah's Flow so I'm sticking to debian
Now, install went great and I'll modify things later, but I cannot seem to get past the BIOS boot, it sits there with a black screen with the cursor (solved with UNE by editing GRUB temporarily).... but nothing I've tried yet has worked, or I did it wrong...

I need to remove pcmanfm but I don't know how I can replace pcmanfm by xfdesktop.
I tried to remove pcmanfm, install xfdesktop and replace in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart @pcmanfm on @xfdesktop. It doesn't work.

Thinking of uninstalling GNOME/ubuntu-desktop and installing LXDE/lubuntu-desktop in its place. Just a couple of Qs. Got some hunches, just want to confirm/deny them:
* Does LXDE use GDM for login, or something else?
* Installing lubuntu-desktop would uninstall network-manager. Need to reboot if I do this, I take it?

[Test with lubuntu 10.04 in VirtualBox]
I try the menu "Install Lubuntu" from LiveCD but it does not work. And I remaster Lubuntu follow the methods LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
and make the custom initrd with preceed file inside to use the option "automatic-ubiqiuty" but it does not work too.
Is this a bug of Ubiqiuty in Lubuntu?

I recently installed Lubuntu to a USB. It was up and running and worked fine, however, upon exiting and going to boot into windows, I noticed it had installed a GRUB bootloader. I use whole disk encryption on windows, which has its own bootloader, so I can't be having some other bootloader on the PC interfering with this. I used my rescue disk to restore my WDE bootloader, but the USB stick will not boot now.
I also tried using pendrivelinux but this copies the live cd version onto the USB stick and nothing saves when you log off.installing Lubuntu to USB without a boot loader?

I'm trying Lubuntu for my low-resource netbook and I'm lovin' it.
But I can't get my ssh key passphrase work with the keyring manager.
I even created a new user account with a fresh home directory and it doesn't work. You run "ssh myname@mydomain.net" and it prompts you for the key passphrase in the terminal.
Expected behavior: with Gnome, you run "ssh myname@mydomain.net" and the password manager opens a GUI to ask for the passphrase. Once unlocked, it remains unlocked until you log off. Moreover, at that moment of unlocking you can tell it to remember the passphrase forever so it gets automatically unlocked next time you login.
The keyring works fine for the wireless password, and for luks-encrypted volumes, but not for Secure Shell keys.
I'm using Ubuntu Lucid, installed lubuntu-desktop package, using gdm session manager, all updated.

Isn't Lubuntu FAB! And it's very easy to customise...once you know how.
It took me a while to discover how to auto-start applications, so I thought I'd share this with you.
To autostart an application for all users
Edit the autostart file as root by typing in a terminal code...

I have 3 computers running Ubuntu 10.10 (2x regular Ubuntu, 1x Lubuntu) and I need VLC media player 1.0.6 (the version from Lucid). I cannot use the Maverick VLC player, I need an older one.What is the best way to install it? Is there a better option then installing it from source code?

I've just bought a usb wireless NIC with the intent of using the 802.11n capability, rather than the built-in 802.11g.
I've plugged it in, and realized I have absolutely no idea what to do next!code...

I have a live/persistent installs of Lubuntu 10.04 on a USB-HDD. It's on a 320 GB portable drive. I've partitioned it so that 80 GB is for the Lubuntu live install and the remaining 240 GB is another partition dedicated to storing stuff. So this USB-HDD is doing double duty. The thing is, I was paying so much attention to making the persistent install work without making a mess of the boot loader (I did that in the past; twice!) that I had overlooked the fact my live install does not have a swap sartition on it. I just assumed (incorrectly) that the swap partition on would just be part and parcel of the installation. Can anyone tell me of a way to add a swap partition to each of my live installs? Without losing any data or anything like that. It's probably not doing any harm not having a swap partition, but I'm assuming that my live install would be that much more efficient with it.

I have just installed LUbuntu on a machine, mostly to try it out. I have been trying to setup a global proxy, but there doesn't appear to be an option for that. I have changed the /etc/wgetrc file to enable the proxy & set the proxy in there, but this has not helped.

I bought a magazine because it said it had lubuntu on its disk. <i popped it into a computer(laptop) to try it, but lubuntu for some reason only goes into the first shell. It will switch o the othr shells, but the desktop one stays blank(or rather black)Xubuntu and the other buntus on the cd however work allright in their live mode, and fedora from another live cd that was on the magazine also works fine(in fact I am using it right now)why lubuntu isnt working but the other ones are? could it be a manufacturing fault or are there underlying issues?
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
well I see that it works with my normal computer so it probably isnt a cd error, but rather it seems to be a gnome load issue? But why wouldnt it load when the other buntus have no problem loading it?

I am looking for a Linux distro that runs on older machines and suitable for non-geeks (and geeks like myself, relatively innocent of Linux). I have tried Puppy, Xubuntu, and a few others, but have not been satisfied. Lubuntu has been suggested and sounds promising, but I am having trouble running or even installing this on several old machines. Specs suggest Pentium-200 and 128 Mb as a minimum. Most of the time the install bails out or leaves a blank screen. I could not find a Lubuntu thread. What experiences are those in the know willing to share?

I want to change or remove some of the standard apps in Lubuntu -- WICD for network manager, take off PyNeighborhood, and a couple of other things. But when I go to do it through synaptic, I'm told I also have to remove the Lubuntu desktop. Which, obviously, I don't want to do. So, two questions: Is this just the metapackage, in which nothing will happen if it is removed? Or do I need make these changes through the command line?
I've been actually quite impressed with Lubuntu. It is working quite nicely on a 10- or 12-year-old Compaq Presario with 177 megs of memory and a Celeron process. The video lags a little, but the wireless, using a Netgear USB dongle, is terrific,
