Just wanted to let Lubuntu users know of an issue when using Simple Scan. I just couldn't get it to detect my HP F2280 scanner although the print function on the same printer/scanner was fine.

For...

Take it easy amjjawad, life away from the computer and Lubuntu is a lot more important. Take it from a middle aged man that has been through some tough things. :)

I haven't had the broken pipe...

A request may mean patience and willingness to wait. These things happen to all of us, typically. :)

Have you filed a bug report? I did with my issue and got a good response although no solution...

Yeah, using 11.10. I've submitted a bug report for this issue, as the older Ubuntu bug that was similar to this has been dormant for over a year, apparently.

This has been the response so far:
...

Just did the latest round of updates including a kernel updates and get this message just before log in, 'Could not write bytes, broken pipe.'

I did a clonezilla image restore and then did the...

No worries amjjawad, thanks for looking into it. Its not a major problem so letting it go for now is fine with me.

I still haven't had one issue with Lubuntu stability. Its been rock solid for my...

Maybe not a super typist but a good helper, which is more important. ;)

Thanks, will go and add that one now.

The thing is, I can do everything on Lubuntu that I would do on Ubuntu...

Hey Rodney, crikey, Sound Converter is great, it converted my WAV file in seconds. I couldn't install that last one 'gstreamer0.10-ffmpegds' as it hasn't shown up in Synaptic. Is that typed...

Sorry to hear that. Its much more important that you get sleep than help here. There are some ideas listed below that will help you sleep. :)

Try and keep your diet simple; no caffeine (coffee,...

Ripper Rodney, thanks for that. Yeah, blackheathsnow is me too. I love my storms and snow.

I tried to convert a WAV in Linux Mint yesterday on another drive and it crashed Mint in X. It was...

Thanks Rodney. Could you possibly tell me which actual gstreamer files I need to install? I think I know from a good website but if yours is running well, its worth copying your setup. :)

Yes, L...

I'm thinking of installing Sound Converter, which I understand is a Gnome program.

Would there be any major issues in installing that in Lubuntu?

I convert the occasional WAV file of my wife's...

Thanks guys, makes sense now. :)

Yes, I like the shutdown button on the far right too. I would still like to change the log-out menu item to shutdown if possible. I don't mean changing the options that come up, just call it...

A couple of quick things:

Screen saver question: What does 'cycle after' mean in settings? I would prefer to blank the screen but not turn it off.

Menu Question:

Is there any way to change...

Yeah, me too. Clonezilla is brilliant, use it a lot. I have four drives, only one plugged in at a time, two with Windows 7 that are rarely used and two for Linux; a production drive with Mint 11 on...

Thanks mate! Phew, I was fiddling around, looking at other Ubuntu orbs and then lost the path.

Oops, can anyone tell me the file path for that lovely Lubuntu menu icon that sits in the far left of the bottom panel? I was fiddling around, replacing it with another icon and lost the original...

Thankyou, that is great. A very well set out page there. I'm enjoying Lubuntu more each day. From my point of view, its how Ubuntu should be set up. You can see how many folk are enjoying it via...

Also, how do I log in automatically? Not sure I want to do that at the moment but its nice to know how. Can't seem to work it out yet.

Thanks heaps for that. I thought I would post my original post here to help others if the need arises. Lubuntu is a very good distro. I prefer it over Unity. I've used most distros over the years...

Thought it might be better in this thread. :)

So, the Task Manager for Lubuntu is only...

Thanks 3Miro, I appreciate your response.

In Lubuntu, the default Task Manager is LXTask 0.1.4. It just has two usage bars at the top, one on the left shows CPU usage in percentage terms and the...

Hi all,

Really enjoying the 11.10 version of Lubuntu. Only prob I am having thus far is that only one core shows up in the Task Manager. In Ubuntu and Mint, its always been four cores for my Core...

Hi all,

I have a first generation core i3 with a GAH55-USB3 motherboard using the onboard graphics. Mint 11 runs perfect for me (with effects on or off) but occasionally in Ubuntu 11.04 (Unity)...
