Coming from Linux Mint Debian Edition end being a GNOME3/KDE4-refugee, I almost found everything I hoped for in PCLinuxOS LXDE; i.e. a lightweight LXDE rolling release with a stable core. I installed and configured it on two of my desktops so far and more family PCs that I service will also come soon. Whilst doing so, I meticulously kept a Calc sheet list of every little inconvenience I came across during the set-ups and how I solved it. I think this may be of interest to you to make the LXDE experience even more user-friendly in upcoming spins. (Leiche  ) However, I am also missing a couple of packages of the Debian testing repository: cqrlog (a ham radio logging program), an up-to-date version of the beid card reader and perhaps some other stuff. This is why I would like to give a try at packaging. |

Fijn om dat te zien. Ik zou maar in Thailand blijven want hier was het vannacht -15°C! Verder kunnen ze hier enkel maar belastingen verhogen om het geld aan de banken te geven  Maar hier in dit forum ziet het er inderdaad nog plezant en leerrijk uit. Groetjes, Serge |

Welcome to our forums, on4aa! If you have ideas about lxde, so send it up. I still waiting on it. If you like to learn packaging visit Packagers Section... Good luck Hi Leiche, And hello there in Sauerland. (I live not so far away from Aachen, where I buy all my hardware, BTW) I have a list of 28 items that are not working as they should. Quite a few of them are simply because of a missing or wrong Categories= statement in the pertaining .desktop file. The effect is that installed applications do not appear in the LXDE menu. However, there is also real broken stuff. I also have a list of 16 items that should better be configured by default. It would make the live of a novice user easier. How do I proceed? I see there is no real bug reporting system apart from the "Broken" section in this forum. Can I send you a personal message with a LibreOffice attachment? |

I can relate. And, no, your methods are not unsound. (I understand the movie reference.) Thanks for offering to help package. And a big welcome to the forum! |
