http://ubuntuforums.org – I have just installed lubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu 12.04. I understand that chromium is the default browser in lubuntu but I was expecting Firefox to show up under the Internet menu. It is installed in my computer, and it shows in the Lubuntu Software Center under installed applications but I cannot find it anywhere. How do I have it show up on the Internet menu? (Hardware)

Hi, I have the following problem: the installation of Lubuntu 12.10 stops in the second step. What is? The second step is where it says you are connected to the Internet, the disk space you have and present the options to selected third-party downloads and/or restricted.

I'm currently building a custom lubuntu-based LiveCD using Ubuntu Customization Kit, and it's been so far so good, but I need to somehow remove the installation menu that shows up when you boot into lubuntu (the one that has the "Try Lubuntu without Installing" option), I just need it to jump straight into the desktop environment without prompting the user to install lubuntu, as it's alw

Hello ,

I recently installed Lubuntu 13.04 on my Desktop. Earlier I had Lubuntu 11.10. I use chromium browser in it. Earlier print to file would work fine in it , the job would be done in less than 10 seconds.

Since the fresh install , I am not able to print pdfs. When I give the print command , the Chromium browser hangs.

The upcoming Lubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system, due for release on October 13th, will introduce a new software center application. The Lubuntu Software Center is, of course, a clone of the popular Ubuntu Software Center (the old version), but designed to be lightweight, for the Lubuntu 11.10 Linux distribution. Lubuntu ...

I've just installed Lubuntu 12.10 on an old laptop (IBM ThinkPad 600X). However, after booting Lubuntu, everything looks like in negative (eg. colors are inverted, like there's some assistive technology enabled).
