[Lubuntu-qa] Netboot i386 mini.iso failure

2013-03-29 Thread Lance
I reported the bug and recorded it on the QA Tracker. I'm just trying to get a head start on final Beta testing so I thought I'd try some mini.iso installs to see where we're actually at with our minimal installs and such. Based on recent test results it's a darn good thing that we kept the alte

Hi folks, as you will no doubt be aware, plans for 13.10 are already being planned. To save a mad scramble after 13.04, if you'd like to give your views on what Julien has said on the matter. At the end of the day, you good people do the testing and whilst I have my views I will go with the majori

Hi, LXLE is a nice project. It is an Extra Life Extension and not yet a fully Linux Distribution. http://www.lxle.net/index.php?x=about Lance was talking about Lubuntu whether it is going to be an LTS or not? If truth to be told and I haven't ever explained that here so I guess it is time to d

I have been thinking about XP end of life too. This is a great opportunity, and a Lubuntu LTS version will be handy to offer to all those people who don't need and don't want new computers. On 2013-03-29 20:47, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wrote: > Hi, > > LXLE is a nice project. It is an Extra Life Exten

Based on this last cycle following either Kubuntu or Edubuntu dev seems sensible to me. One of the Edubuntu maintainers, Jonathan Carter, has agreed to keep Metacity and Gnome Panel alive so there may be some shared interest there . although comparing Openbox to Metacity is kind of l

Wow, you're all "wikified" ;^) I like the way that looks. I'm too busy ATM to really get involved but it would be super-cool for you to bring that up again just after we release Raring. Maybe we could share some tweaks: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2099506 Lance --- On Fri, 3/29/1

I didn't save Julien's response but he said it was being considered. I think 30 to 36 months is probably the maximum length of time we'd want to go, particularly since we're the only ones using Chromium as our default browser. Let's just go with what the boss says ;^) Lance --- On Fri, 3/29/13

*Don't worry, it's already in my head. I'm just waiting for 13.04 to be properly released before starting the flow of discussion. It's not impossible to go for a 14.04 LTS release, but the detail need to be discussed, and are dependent to many factors (our release model, the content of what we want
