When I select Software Updater from the launch menu it takes around 40 seconds to start up. (in fact, until a recent experiment I thought it wasn't launching at all, and was making multiple attempts to launch it). Further, having done a scan, there is a HUGE pause, where screen updates (or redraws) ...

It looks correct but when I went to the wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Boot_Install_Login#Shutdown_Button_is_missing_from_LXPanel.2C_how_can_I_add_it.3F there is a little difference. I am not sure if it makes a difference but it does come from the official website. I worked through ...

I recently did an online upgrade from Lubuntu 13.10 to 14.40 (LTS). This went "fairly smoothly". One issue I had was the loss of the "shutdown" button from my panel (top right corner) I found this: http://www.drkdidel.be/en/blog/35/lubuntu-lxde-restore-logout-shutdown-icon-taskba...

My oldest function machine has some issues, at least it does in 2014. It's a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo, with the "somewhat questionable" Intel 8xxx graphics, and the "nearly-PAE capable" Celeron M. Now that Ubuntu has 14.04 LTS, I was trying to find a non-PAE install so I could use c...

I am not familiar with that Dell But can you use the controls on the hardware to increase the brightness? The function keys work !! (which is surprising, since googling found many people saying they don't, and describing elaborate ways to do it). But the XFCE controls are still completely ineffecti...

Dell Vostro 1700, recently installed with Ubuntu 13.10, sudo apt-get install lxde-desktop Most things are working fine, but I can't get control of my screen brightness. Regardless of the settings in XFCE (accessed via Preferences->Power Manager), my screen brightness drops to around 30 % (unusably d...

Perversely, I have another issue with LXDE - when I quite Seamonkey, I always get a "Ubuntu has crashed unexpectedly" message. But I also noted that this had the happy side effect of resetting/restarting LXPanel, and fixing the Zebra effect. Two wrongs DO make a right. In a crap sort of wa...

I think my problem is being caused by running Audacity. Having run Adacity my top bar looks like this (at least the right hand side does) lxpanel.png I would welcome advise on avoiding this happening, although I'd happily settle for a way to reset the appearance without restarting my login (my norma...

Welcome to the LXDE forum. I'm not sure what you want to do but I should inform you that this is not the place to post requests for changes, improvements, or to report bugs or patches. Developers seldom read forums because they too are often volunteers like all of us on this forum and their free ti...

I'm using LXDE (and OpenBox) both on my old, slow home laptop, and on my Whizzy new work laptop, in the former case for low load, in the latter case because I find Unity intrusive and unusable. So this post is about OpenBox. I find the switch-window behaviour exemplary - displaying a list of Icons f...
