Lubuntu - One Stop Thread

[amjjawad]

The information in this thread has been moved to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LubuntuLinks

A thread for discussion of the wiki page only can be found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...0#post12062200


Edit bodhi.zazen:

The forums staff appreciates the dedication and hard work amjjawad has put into the Lubuntu One Stop Thread and recognizes that this thread is an invaluable resource to the Lubuntu community.

However, we now have a thread that has over 500 posts with nuggets of information scattered about it that are impossible to find, and thus does not meet up to forums standards for tutorials

As per this thread, we would like to see the information on this thread relocated to the wiki. The advantages of the wiki are that it is Community maintained, peer reviewed, easier to maintain, and easier to find information as compared to a 500 + thread on the forums.

We have staff available to help with convert the information to the wiki, we have asked amjjawad for assistance, and we are also asking the lubuntu community to participate. The wiki is community maintained.

bodhi.zazen has been working on a script to help convert forums posts -> wiki syntax. [link to script on wiki].

nothingspecial has volunteered from the forums staff to assist the lubuntu community.

LOST(Lubuntu One Stop Thread)
(Previously known as: Lubuntu 11.04 - HOWTOs/Guides)

Welcome:
Hello and Welcome to Lubuntu One Stop Thread, the best place to know more about Lubuntu. Hope you enjoy and find what you were looking for and if you didn't, that is not a problem at all.


Introduction:
I have started this thread with two HOWTOs/Guides for Lubuntu but day after day, I realized that Lubuntu Community specifically and Ubuntu Community generally need something beyond that. Thus, I have decided to make this thread as "One Stop Thread" for Lubuntu which means it will contain EVERYTHING about Lubuntu. I'll make sure to update it on daily basis.

As always, I'm waiting for any suggestions/feedback/question you may have so please, feel home.

Thank you so much for choosing and using Lubuntu.
Because of YOU, Lubuntu has reached where it's right now and because of YOU, Lubuntu will continue dazzling everyone.

P.S.
Any thing will be posted here (Guides/HOWTOs/Tutorials/etc) must be tested first to ensure it will work on everyone's machine. My Guides/HOWTOs will be tested before posting so please make sure yours are tested too.

Good deal! I've got this thread bookmarked.

PS. I like your new Monkey D Luffy avitar.

[mörgæs]

Good job.

Maybe you could add a section with ideas for applications to add after installing? A beginner might find the default ones a little less powerful than what he is used to.

I am thinking of, for example

Libre Office
Eye of Gnome
Gedit
VLC

I'm bookmarking this one as well as I'm just getting started on Lubuntu!

One question though!

A critical app for me is the right click Nautilus Image converter using Gnome. Is there anything similar that will work the same way on Lubuntu?
