Hi, This bug makes it hard to change language after installation. Please check if you have it too, and if so, please add that it affects you!
-o- I found it, when I had installed Lubuntu with the One Button Installer (and a text operating Ubuntu Mini system to drive it). It was installed and is running within 128 Mb RAM now (via the boot option mem). I ran with full memory, 1.25GB, for a while to update-upgrade and do some more testing. And of course, it's a huge difference in performance, but I could run Firefox and view this bug at Launchpad also with 128 MB RAM. The following output from free was taken after Firefox was closed. While Firefox was running cpu, ram and swap were all near or above 100 :-P ----- tester@saucy-a:~$ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 116 113 2 0 6 35 -/+ buffers/cache: 72 43 Swap: 1198 67 1131 tester@saucy-a:~$ ----- I can upload a screenshot somewhere, if someone wants to see it (we are discouraged to add big attachments here, which is good).
