Hi, Actually Ubuntu inherited the no sound bug from Debian :( So... 12.04 is probably the best bet for now. You can do a mini install of Ubuntu, and customize it however you like. Obviously the Lubuntu packages are not being updated for 12.04. However, there are other DE options as well as other

I wondered much the same about lxsession-default, in part because I want to set the power button to actually just "Shut Down" as I have it set in Power Preferences. Now, pressing the power button produces the logout window, which I equate with "Ask." So far I have not found any documentation

One problem solved: If I use "nmcli nm wifi on" and "nmcli nm wifi off" instead of the rfkill commands, this toggles the wifi radio without root permissions. Now if I could find some suspend/standby and hibernate commands that don't require root permission, this job would be done! On 4/30/20
