Not too much to say. Just a new icon for the Lubuntu Software Center. Not using the Ubuntu standard anymore (not appropriate, we think). And so on, a possibly redesign for the wholñe application is coming. I hope you like it!
I’d like to thank to the people who downloaded the distro, because now Lubuntu hits the list with an incredible 7th score position! (see that on DistroWatch). And of course, I’d like to thank the Lubuntu crew for their wonderful job done with this release, and that’s why Canonical decided to “adopt us” in the Ubuntu family, for those well-done things and a never-ending illusion. You’re the best!
As Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot has been released, and new bunch of marketing pieces should appear along the release. So here they are: a brand new CD cover wallet, a disc imprint and a Lightscribe one. You can download them all at the marketing wiki page (search for the 11.10 version).
Another release of ZevenOS, the Minimal Edition, that ships LXDE environment. Codenamed “Next Generation”, this version comes with LXDE (obviously), PCManFM (along with LXDE), Viewnior, Iceweasel, Icedove, Gnome-Mplayer and Deadbeef. More information and downloads here.
Finally, the long awaited release is here. Notes from Julien Lavergne, the Lubuntu team leader:
The release notes, with a list of known problems are available here. You can find information on how to report bug on this wiki page. Also check out the Lubuntu website, the documentation, the LXDE website and the official announcement.
You can grab it at the usual Downloads page.
Sure you already know that our “big brother” Ubuntu released the second beta for the Oneiric Ocelot version. So here goes the “little one” Lubuntu 11.10 beta 2. I just wanted to mention this like an echo of Julien Lavergne’s announcement. And as he said, this is a beta, so remember:
Lubuntu right now lacks a Software Center, as his big brother Ubuntu, so Stephen Smally is developing a great app for this. Lubuntu Software Center. You can install and test it executing this on a terminal (the whole line):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lubuntu-software-center
Announced by Julien Lavergne today:
Following the announce for Ubuntu, Lubuntu Beta 1 is also available for
testing. You can find it on
