New wallpaper is in. Thanks @tsimonq2

@tsimonq2 You had mentioned you would finish this up so i am reassigning this to you. Please let me know if there is something else you need from me.

I will bump this to 20.04. We are waiting on an upstream fix for this ultimately (2 of them actually, one for Cala to run firefox as the user and one for LXQt to respect proper .desktop menu items). I also lowered the priority it isn't a showstopper that we have two menu items just somewhat annoying.

A bug in Calamares has been reported by at least 2 individuals. @guiverc and I were unable to reproduce. I am in America, New York, quite possible the worst location for testing since it is the default. However Chris is not in the default zone and was able to get the proper one automatically. It would be appreciated if some other folks could test for this bug in other time zones.

(it'd read better if we edited the wallpaper competition winner's letter, but should or do we want to do that???)

Reduce image size to test.

Add default wallpaper only to test.

Remove boat image, it is too large.

Reduce image file sizes.

Try to upload wallpapers again.

Counting down in C4

When I created D47 it doesn't look like the wallpapers actually got pushed. I created P46 and added some comments there too.

I guess @The_LoudSpeaker is the right man for writing this down

Sure. I can do that. by when it needs to be done? before beta release or before final release?

I changed the permissions and got the same result.

Fix file permissions on wallpapers.

Looking at the above, I wonder if it isn't a permissions issue...

Here is a ls of the folder.

I wondered about the file size restrictions too but there are two of them that are the same size as the existing wallpapers.

I got this when I did an arc diff for D47

As a note I received the following error on arc diff P46

Thanks for adding the doc strings, it is appreciated. The variable renaming makes more sense too.

I put in a bug upstream.

I had a good test on my Acer Laptop. Laptop is somewhat low on resources. 1st gen i5 with 4G of RAM that is shared with the onboard Intel graphics. As far as resource usage it was almost identical with the original compton. 457 M for the original and 460 M for the new one. I had around 430 M with no compton installed. I used htop for all three measurements. I notice a bit of stuttering with both versions when moving windows around. I also tested the compton-conf that is shipped in Lubuntu and that seems to manage the config file fine. I see no downside currently.

• Remove shebang and executable flag from .desktop.
• Remove executable flag from non-executables.
• Adjust dpkg-architecture-variable.

• Fix lintian errors and warnings.
• Add lintian override.
• More lintian overrides.
• Add keywords to .desktop file.

It does it on a live iso, I wouldn't think there was any cache.
I also did try this on a different .desktop file and I tried a logout and login as well as a reboot. They all still show.

No, that's not it. $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is LXQt as it should be.

@wxl I am confused here. I added NotShowIn=LXQt; to the desktop file yet it still shows in the menu. I re-read the spec and still don't see where I went wrong. Any ideas?

We should bounce this to 20.04 IMHO. There are some issues still upstream, this one impacts us. Then there is this, this and this.
To top it off, I can't see where you can remove packages, only add them, we'd have to tinker on that too. As much as I would like to see it, I don't think it is ready for us at this time.

When you bump the debhelper compat, you also have to bump the dependency in debian/control. Please also say that no changes were needed in the changelog (obviously if there were, you would describe them).
Nice work!

So upstream has now implemented the packagechooser module which I think should fix this. @kc2bez would you be interested in both pulling down 3.2.12 and exploring this possibility? To be more clear there's two goals:

1. provide a way to do a minimal install, i.e. what lubuntu-core is rather than lubuntu-desktop
2. at least start providing some options to choose between different browsers, etc.

For this release I will change the patch so that NotShowIn=LXQt; is added to the stock .desktop that ships with Calamares leaving only our workaround visible in the menu and desktop. We can revisit it when there is an upstream change.

I forgot to mention, paste your buildlog so we can look at the errors.

In T99#1857, @The_LoudSpeaker wrote:

The patch doesn't apply. There are waaay too many changes since last release. around 60 something commits.
Should I ask for a new release upstream? Else will have to create a patch for each commit and apply and that will be too many patches.

I think some of the key to success here may be in having swap (see T22). I setup a VM with a 2Gib swap space and 478Mib. I left it running overnight and RAM utilization was 113 Mib. As a side note the web was browse-able, perhaps not optimal by any stretch but functional. Swap isn't a cure-all and may not be the ideal solution for everything but it can sometimes help. I know I just threw some more variables in the mix but I think we need to look at that too.

Should we wait to agaida to put it in sid?

It would be helpful if we had an objective of what the script was to accomplish. If we just want to apply what @apt-ghetto suggested as a workaround:

Here is some interesting information.

So I did some tweaking. Installed xfonts-efont-unicode to get it to look this good. This is old style xlib font rendering so you have to use X11 fonts. xfontsel is your friend here. Not sure why the "new login" button is showing weird.

The mimeapps.list has been updated and is now in eoan. It would be great if we could get some tests. @guiverc @wxl
