Due to space problems in other servers, we offer now the possibility to host the image disc. Now you can download directly from The Lubuntu Blog you ISO. Check the downloads section, now rearranged for better understanding.
…and happy 11th position at Distrowatch this month!
For those who want to rescue a very old machine maybe Ubiquity installer is too heavy and full featured. So we’re testing a new text based installing system, based on Ubuntu alternate installer (wizard, anyway). If you want to test it download it and burn. But remember, it’s only a test (thanks to Phill Whiteside).
The day has arrived. The final stable release of Lubuntu is here. Not too much to say, except you can download it while it’s hot! Go to downloads section and get it! Julien Lavergne said:
== What is Lubuntu ? ==
Lubuntu is an Ubuntu derivated using the LXDE desktop. It’s designed to be a lightweight and easy-to-use desktop environment.
Lubuntu is actually not part of the Ubuntu family, and not build with the current Ubuntu infrastructure. This release is considered as a «stable beta», a result that could be a final and stable release if we was included in the Ubuntu family.
== Features ==
* Based on the lightweight LXDE desktop environment.
* Pcmanfm 0.9.7, a fast and lightweight files manager using gio/gvfs.
* Lxdm, a lightweight GTK display manager.
* Chromium, the open-source version of Google Chrome.
* … and, of course, based on Ubuntu 10.10
Recognized by an overwhelming majority, the designs for the wallet, disc and lightscribe images for the 10.10 version are ready to download. They’re available at the usual marketing place so, feel free to download and print them while they’re hot! I hope you like it.
BTW, have you noticed that there’s only two days left for the upcoming (and long awaited) final version of Lubuntu (and possibly the Ubuntu one too)? Don’t care, I’ll keep you all informed and a new download link will appear in this blog.
As you can see, we’re still developing (and working!). Julien Lavergne (a.k.a. The Boss 😀 ) is proud to present the second (and last) testing release. This one includes some bug fixes and has the usual Ubuntu updates (that are plenty). Here are the download links (please, using torrent is better for everybody). Also, I’ve updated the downloads section. There you can still download the last stable version of Lubuntu, if you don’t want to test this release and want your system to be stable and fully functional.
Ok, it’s not really a Lubuntu related post, but it’s an amazing event. The Ubuntu font is almost complete, and now you can download and install it for testing on your system. The font has been updated so french, catalan, german or portuguese speakers can use the whole alphabet! It “only” lacks hebrew, asian and arabic codes for completing the Unicode table. Specific characters will be added Try it with your Lubuntu desktop! Download the DEB package at Launchpad. A great effort from Canonical Design Team.
I’ve updated the Openbox configuration for the default Lubuntu session (3Ddesk zooms much faster now, and screen grabbing capability works again):
A new tool arrives: LXKeymap.It allows to choose the keymap code graphically, selecting the country in a list while it’s representing the keyboard design on the right, where you can compare with yours to ensure that it’s the right model. Download here.
