Re: LXDE Great for Netbooks

I installed Lubuntu 11.04 and then 11.10 on my ASUS netbook and it smokes. It is not that it was slow but it is operating super fast with Lubuntu. For what I use the computer to do, I am completely satisfied.

Re: Conky doesn't "stick" on my desktop :(

I don't use Conky but here is some information. It appears that the original poster got Conky to work but sacrificed PCManFM in the process. I'm not sure if that is what you want. :?
What exactly do you want Conky to do for you?

Re: How do you special Assign shortcut keys in LXDE?

Is there a minimize all windows action ? I can't find it. If you haven't played with your Lubuntu 11.10 install too much, you will find the minimize all windows icon in between your last application icon and your first desktop icon on the bottom panel. I mean your only panel. I keep forgetting. By ...

Re: which distribution with lxde

Check out the distros yourself. People have different uses for their computer so I can only tell my story. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. I tried it. It is quite good. I am using Lubuntu and I am quite content with it.

Welcome to the LXDE forum. I'm a Lubuntu user and have fallen madly in love with LXDE, Lubuntu specifically.

Re: which distribution with lxde

I have been using Lubuntu on an ASUS 1000H netbook for several months now and am extremely satisfied with the performance. Definitely try it out. There is a group of folks on Ubuntu forums that specialize in Lubuntu and are more than willing to provide any assistance that you many require. And of co...

Re: I Cant Download LXDE Help!

Nice video. There is certainly a lot of eye candy. I have never even tried the OS. Might be something to try if I ever get too frustrated with Lubuntu. Does it have the support in the way of forums? That could be a problem. LXDE, although the forum membership is small and the responses are very slow...

Re: How to set system wide background?

Yes, I believe that also gives you the option of logging into either desktop (Unity or LXDE). I could be wrong about that. I was chased away from Ubuntu by Unity but managed to stay in the family with Lubuntu. It is lean and very light and for my purposes does everything that I want it to do. There ...

Re: How to set system wide background?

Sorry, I misunderstood and since I am the sole user, That works for me. Perhaps there is someone else that can provide the answer that you are looking for. Out of curiosity, since you have Ubuntu 11.10, did you just download the LXDE desktop?
