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. Julien Lavergne Le 9 mars 2012 à 00:06, Phill Whiteside a écrit : > Hi Boss, > > I know we dropped bluetooth

Julien! I would like that (There is a perfect script to make blueman work with pcmanfm ("blueman-browse-helper" - i found it on the debian forums)), but i think there might be a problem with blueman and kernel 3.2xxx (at least powerpc). Blueman is dead slow, either with lubuntu 12.04 beta1 ppc or

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 r

If Bluetooth wasn't available for PowerPC macs, I wouldn't complain. Yes, some PowerPC Macs have Bluetooth built-in, but you can't advertise Lubuntu as being fast and nimble and then enable a technology that will cripple the computer performance. Sincerely, Paul Gorski -Origina

Hi Luigi, the only one available for you would be the 10.04 release of lubuntu which we keep alive precisely for that reason. If you can get Ubuntu 12.04 installed, you can then put lubuntu on & get rid of the gnome stuff. But! the instructions for going 'pure' lubuntu will not be available until

Hi Paul, this is lubuntu's first attempt at a Mac release (We only gained 'official' status with the 11.10 release, which was only i686 & amn64). Pretty much everyone testing has never used iso-tracker[1] before nor raised 'official' bug reports. That they have come so far in such a short time is

If we could fix the dark login screens for the G4s at the cost of giving up on the iMacG3's I'd be fine with that. The fact is the desktop iso doesn't work for G3's or many G4's. (No boot G3's dark installer screen for G4's) I'm not looking at this just from a Mac angle though. Their are millio
