19.04 Megathread

Well, then it’s hard to troubleshoot :rofl: I’d go further with it, but I don’t see the problem.

Eoan Ermine is the codename for 19.10, which is in development now.

Well, then it’s hard to troubleshoot :rofl: I’d go further with it, but I don’t see the problem.

No worries, I juat wanted to report my experience with 19.04. Maybe next year’s 20.04 LTS will be faster in my hands.

I sould add two points about 19.04:

  1. This long delay did only appear first thing after a fresh computer start or a reboot. After the first login, logout/login was as fast as with 18.04 and kept that way. But after another reboot… slow, slow, slow…

  2. Apart from that, I liked 19.04 more than 18.04

Of course, maybe it won’t be because you didn’t help us figure out the problem… :thinking:

Coming from 2 years of using 16.04, following by about a year of 18.04 the visual appeal of 19.04 is pretty good. I’ve been using Lubuntu for over 6 years now (was on #! before that, but started on Linux on Slackware 0.92 way back in 1996-97). The evolution has been astounding.

For me, the biggest win is how nicely the fonts render on most applications. I’m comparing it with Windows 10 which I use it for my day job. Overall, so far the experience has been smooth, but there’s obviously some learning curve, though not too hard. I managed to trim down the application down to minimum that I like and added few that were missing.

Few things I am struggling with are:

  • many applications (of similar nature & purpose as previous Lubuntu i.e. up to 18.04) take up more screen “real estate”. I am a heavy multi-tasker and like applications taking up minimum screen space… so far not able to figure out how to manage that. Have reduced font sized to 9 pt (which helped somewhat)
  • adding application launch icons to bottom panel is something I am struggling with.
  • network applet is very sparse in information it provides. For instance, there is no way to get information on connected network from it (of course, I can get all I need on command-line – but still)

Ti took me great sacrifice ro install 19.04 over my beloved 18.04, but here are the postings. Please note that log-in takes about 15 seconds after entering the password. I could not preformat the wholel following text, I do not know know why :frowning: P.S. I have to split the tex!

Your forum won’t accept this file, too big!

I’ll try the next one, /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Also too big for your forum, sorry :frowning:

Just pastebin it somewhere and link here.

Just pastebin it somewhere and link here.

What do you mean? I know what a bin is, but a pastebin? And how to do it?

Could you give examples with screenshots? As many as possible.

It’s so easy it’s unintuitive for many folks: drag and drop from the menu. Incidentially, this is covered in the manual. I thought that I had seen an issue upstream to add another methodology to do so, but I can’t find it so maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I should file one anyways. What would you think would make sense? A context menu with “add to favorites” or something initiated by a right click?

Yeah, in general, nm-tray is a little thin at best. For some reason, our Release Manager chose it over cmst which is . I’ll let @tsimonq2 explain exactly why that is. Back to nm-tray between ourselves and upstream there are several pending issues to fix:

That said,it doesn’t sound like your issue fits. What would you like to see different? Again, screenshots and details would be incredibly helpful.

The name comes from pastebin.com but in the Ubuntu world, we tend to use paste.ubuntu.com. You can just copy and paste there. However, you can also use the pastebinit command to make things easier, e.g. pastebinit -i /path/to/some/file will return a URL at paste.ubuntu.com which will show the content of that file for everyone to see. Then you can use the link here.

If you want to get really fancy and you have an account on our Phabricator and you have Arcanist installed and set up, you can use our own pastebin with cat /path/to/some/file | arc paste.

Hope it helps further Lubuntu development

Hi, since I am at it: what are these strange files that appear occasionally on the Lubuntu 19.04 Desktop, such as this one now:

computer.desktop.V05K2Z

Its properties say it is a textfile, but when I try to delete it, it says it is non-existent and hence cannot be deleted. I saw similar files also on an earlier 19.04 install.

What is the function of these ghosts?

Thank you, lubucub

Known bug fixed upstream and made its way to Debian in 0.14.1-6, though the fix has yet to trickle down to Ubuntu. @tsimonq2 said he was going to get the fix SRU’d, i.e. carried back to all supported releases, but that hasn’t happened yet, either.

Hey, new user here. I thought I’d list a few things that bothered or confused me about Lubuntu (19.04 obviously), in the spirit of providing feedback.

  • By default, the panel has dark system tray icons on a dark background. The theming in general felt a little disjointed, Arc + Papirus isn’t the best combination IMO. Maybe you could get permission to use Antu (plus Breeze) as the default? It seems to be a better fit for LXQT.

  • Discover still has major limitations and the occasional bug, and I had to learn to stop bothering with it and just use Muon for everything instead. I can’t blame you for shipping Discover though, it’s a lot sleeker and by the next release it may be fully ready.

  • Why Firefox? I know it’s widely supported and full-featured, but isn’t it a bit weird to ship a lightweight distro with such a heavyweight?

  • I believe what I said about Firefox applies with VLC as well. Except in this case it should be easier to replace it with a lighter alternative, if you wanted.

  • Trojitá only supports one email account, which renders it useless for me and probably a lot of people. This one is definitely lightweight though.

  • The panel’s launcher shows 4 different terminal emulators by default (Xterm, Uxterm, QTerminal, QTerminal drop down). Useful, but probably a little confusing for the newbies.

  • Speaking of the launcher, what is a “fcitx” and why is there a menu entry for it? lol

I actually really liked the OOB experience, despite these minor concerns. It was well above the average for linux distros, if not as perfectly polished as Ubuntu’s or LM’s. Thank you for your hard work!

Yeah, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You’re welcome to propose something different for 19.10!

Yeah, I have a lot of hope for the future, especially given that its biggest problem (“slow”) I think will be solved entirely by having a progress indicator.

We were originally considering Falkon but had lots of problems with it and decided we need to make a change. I still think we need to revisit this, but one of the considerations was that we should supply the thing nearly everyone would want: a fully functional standard browser. Lightweight is not our only consideration.

Same argument could be made about LibreOffice. However, with both pieces of software, I found the alternatives (especially those based in Qt) to be rather unsatisfactory alternatives in terms of function.

This is a known bug and it looks like some code already exists.

There’s also the --profile option. Just make multiple profiles for each email address and you can start multiple instances of Trojitá, but each with their own profile.

Where are you seeing this? Screenshot might help.

It’s a input manager, which is useful, but not to everyone. We don’t enable it by default, just as we don’t enable Compton (compositing) by default. As for why there’s a menu entry— well, you want to have some way to turn it on if you do want it, no?

@wxl: did anything interesting turn out yet, why my graphic log-in with Lubuntu 19.04 is so slow?

Hope it helps further Lubuntu development

I’ve been busy and haven’t got to research further but I have it bookmarked.

That was my perception too. I can’t give specifics now. But, PCmanfam stood out to me as containing the most useless whitespace/padding around things within it.

On a fresh install of Lubuntu 19.04 with recent upgrades in openbox session there is no wallpaper but instead last rendered windows stuck their images on the background. Here is a screenshot:
