I thought it was part of software-properties, but is not, is update-manager.

maybe I could help, since I'm doing the port on the additional driver tab in https://phab.lubuntu.me/T144

could we delete libreoffice-gtk3 in cosmic update? leaving libreoffice-kde5 alone

on the dark icons issue, there 3 posibilities:

Other option is the workaraound mentioned in the bug of adding gtk-cursor-theme-size = 16 to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini works
we could add it in the xdg.

apparently this solve the issue

Now after the sru libreoffice-gtk3 is no longer needed, libreoffice-kde5 works.

uninstalling libreoffice-gtk3 and libreoffice-kde5 (after the SRU) this issue dissapear

Just adding info:

I'm really impressed with all the good contributions made in this task.
As per @profetik777 wonderfull explanation, My idea of this task was to have a clear explanation of what Lubuntu culture is so everyone have it clear when contributing. Maybe is not a mission but a purpose statement what we need?

I have a meeting at same hour next thursday.

@kc2bez found out that same thing happens in fedora29 with lxqt, but does not in kubuntu.
In 18.04 bionic, doesn't happened.

Sama client works w/o more problema that it has (LibreOffice has issues with samba, have to use cifs instead). Haven't tried samba server

and it doesn't have lxqt-sudo in Exec line. That edited should look like:

upgraded, beside that now the dropbox says ayomatic(breeze) instead of automatic(tango) it looks the same to me since I was already using breeze icons. But nice!!

I'm curious about the test case. If I already changed the icons to Breeze, would the defaukt (Automatic in dropbox) change?

Sorry for re-opening again things that you already discussed.
I totally agree with the old hardware stuff, my point is with lightweight. Maybe I'm wrong but what I've heard is that most of the people come tu lubuntu because of ith lightweightness, With other words, if xubuntu or kubuntu end up being lighter than lubuntu, lubuntu will lose a lot of users. But if we lose functionally (nm-tray issue for instance) we will lose a lot of users too. I took that for granted in my firs draft, we should include it.

Here is the post, so we don't have to look for it.
https://lubuntu.me/taking-a-new-direction/
But basically, the mission has to reflect those goals (or the ones we define). My thoughts is that there is a lot of people who come to lubuntu because of how light it is. That's not only because of people with older computers, but also people with newer computers that wants to get the most of it for specific purposes (gaming, media production, etc...) .
I think that the order of the goals in the post are ok for that communication (i.e. putting qt direction first) because it's a tactical short term communication, but for the mission which is a strategic long-term communication, we should prioritize which is more important for lubuntu in the long run.

I found out that we ship software-properties-qt (and software-properties-kde) but it doesn't have a menu entry. Although at the moment it doesn't have the "additional driver" tab, I think we should have the menu entry, people (and with that I mean myself) are used to use this instead of muon or synaptic for handle updates, repos, and the others.

This would be my first draft for the Mission:
"To be the lightest official ubuntu flavor, with a modern look & feel, easy to use and setup, for the day to day use."

In 18.04 the application that makes this happen is software-properties-gtk and I found this code which has some qt mentions maybe it's very easy to compile this with qt https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/software-properties/main/files @tsimonq2 @wxl

Isn't this as easy as to put a GUI (Qt) that:
1.- runs sudo ubuntu-drivers list
2.- populate a list in which you chose the driver you want to install
3.- run sudo apt install "the driver you chose"
???
That sound to me easier than porting and if that is, I think I can take it.

I don't think I have the knowledge to do this as fast as it needs to be done in the time that I have. I can help in testing though.

What is the status of this upstream? Does it have some urgency?

Just as info, for VPN the packages currently needed are:
the vpn protocol (example pptp)
-pptp-linux
the gui
-network-manager-pptp
-network-manager-pptp-gnome

I believe that the kdegloblas thing is something defined in the breeze theme. I have the gtk2 theme matcher installed (I believe kwin might have installed it) I used a it couple of times, will look at it too.

Dark icons:
after a lot of testing (modifying icon svg, try to understand iconthemeconfig.cpp) I haven't completely undertsand the behaivour but:

• Papirus status icons (the ones used in statusnotifier) are mostly monochrome. Given that, most papirus icons are either dark or light.
• Monochrome icons are also used for applications like pcfman-qt (new tab, back, forward, up, refresh)
• This icons can be changed to match theme going either dark or light apparently you can't mixed them (with the exception of nm-tray, don't know why).
• Currently we have a mixture of dark taskbar, light window. So, if we put dark icons, they can be seen in pcmanfm but can not in the taskbar. If we use light icons we can see them in taskbar but not in pcfman-qt.

@wxl @tsimonq2 I found out that .config/libreoffice/4/user/registrymodifications.xcu is a canonical file (and path) don't know why the chose a 4.

I still don't know why ~.config/kdeglobals change the color scheme of breeze, but I could strip the file to the attached.

Regarding the dark icons (that don't show well in taskbar) there is flag in lxqt.conf that toogles following color schemes (icon_follow_color_scheme=true) this only changes some of the icons colors, not sure where we can configure which are affected.
In GUI on hover says "KDE color extension for icons theme. XDG->FollowsColorSchemes"

I found that there is a file in ~.config/libreoffice/4/user called registrymodifications.xcu

working on it. Since the libreoffice chanel wasn't very productive trying to solve the breeze-icon task, do you have any other line I should follow?

ok, could replicate Dark Breeze. Apparently all is stored in a file in ~/.config/kdeglobals which content you can see in https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CxtPMsW9z9/ please someone in a more clean enviroment could create that file and see what happens?

I think they are here /usr/share/QtCurve

@TheWendyPower we have GTK set as Arc-Darker (names don't really reflect what they do, darker is not darker than dark :) ) which means dark titlebar light window. Arc- Dark is everything Dark, Arc is everything light. As far as I understand, in our case the titlebar is managed by openbox.

On dark theme issue, I had a serendipity when installed kwin for testing. Some kde config files remain in my pc when I purged kwin, and those config files made my breeze theme look dark. Maybe we could benefit from that.

What about the change of the window close button? close encircled and colors?

yes, you have to configure the replace

I would do all of this if is in LibreOffie, don't Kno if it's doable http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/libreoffice

There is a comment upstream saying that it won't work "because the value of $DESKTOP_SESSION is "Lubuntu", not "lxqt"." I think they are thinking in 18.04.

we could make changes to our LubuntuArc theme. We have done some little test with @TheWendyPower and close button could be donde the way is done in gtk3 arc (circled) and we could change the colors of the button(s).

What happened with the "additiona drivers" for propietary drivers? It was in this list a couple of days ago. Maybe we should explain a workaround (installing kde one).

Trying to test build gave me:

so, what should I do now? Trying to test build gave me:

I've had problemas creating the patch.
git checkout ubuntu/cosmic doesn't work and there is also no debian changelog. Any way, the diff is this:

change changelog entry

Thanks!

deleting .pc files

deleted debian/.pc
Changes in patch header, deleted origin delted parameter diff=unified in URI

I run the command
rm -rf !(debian) .pc/
It thought it would take cares of deleting the things not needed in arc diff.

during debuild I get 12 warnings. Pastebinit of the debuild here http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xKndSTVqnJ/

Regarding dialog when opening desktop shortcuts, apparently upstream is already a solution. https://forum.lxqt.org/t/lxqt-keeps-asking-me-when-launching-an-app-from-desktop-shortcut/410
