U-lite 0.9 Alpha 2

I am proud to announce the second alpha release of U-lite 0.9. Several bugs and updates have happened since the first alpha release. Most noticeable is the change back to a more conservative light theme. This is because some programs did not look very good in the dark theme, but the dark theme is still available for those who wish to use it. Furthermore, I worked some on the package selection and worked on some choices such as the browser, email client, and ftp client. More is in the works!

I do not suggest people lacking experience with Linux to use this release yet.

To install this alpha, start with a cli install of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope.

wget launchpad.net/~ulite/+archive/nemo/+files/nemo-ulite-keyring_0.9-0ulite1~ppa1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i nemo-ulite-keyring_0.9-0ulite1~ppa1_all.deb

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ulite-desktop

Reboot

Shouldn't the admin user have

Shouldn't the admin user have a password instead of guest? So far I am unable to actually login, even if I copy the guest's password to the admin user work from home.

Also, the appearance is all messed up. Looking at the apache error log, it is not using the "default" theme directory:

/themes//images/logo.png car insurance

As such, images, .js, and .css files are failing to load because it's not adding "default" into the path. I did create this test gallery on a sub-domain with the root folder of the gallery being "/" essentially.

If I attempt to login, it fails with errors similar to what blueskyes shows (see attached)

Here's my operating environment: mortgage

Apache version 1.3.41 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.6
MySQL version 5.0.67-community
Architecture x86_64
Operating system Linux

Is the Apache version not compatible?

Thanks,
Mark H.

Using Gallery 2.2.6 - gallery.markheadrick.com

On further examination, it appears that while it did create the vars table, it did not insert any of the values into that table. Using SQLyog, I manually ran the SQL statement that was in the install.sql file to add those values. Still, for some reason, it is not putting "default" in the file requests similar to /home/(username)/public_html/gallery3/themes//images/logo.png

I did echo out the SQL statement that sets the admin password which did include the hashed password; however homes for sale, it also failed to insert the value.. with no errors that it had failed to do so. I manually added this hashed value into the users table; however, I still get the same error I attached.

Just for the heck of it, I tried on my local PC with: Windows XP Home SP3, Apache/1.3.33 (Win32), MySQL 5.0.51b-community-nt, and PHP 5.2.6. In this environment it did create the vars table with the information and added the admin password to the users table. The main problem in this case had to do with pathing; however, it was using the "default" theme so I was able to see what the UI would look like.

Where does it determine the active theme to use? I wonder if it's not able to read the vars table for some reason since it wasn't able to insert the values into it.

Thanks,

Short URL

I made a short version of the wget URL for easier typing in CLI: http://bit.ly/5yCrD

A lot of space in hard disk

I've installed Ubuntu C.L.I. on a computer, and has been occupied 700MB. It's a lot of space for an only terminal system!

After that I've installed U-Lite, and doing "apt-get clean" also, the hard disk remains with 1.330MB occupied. This other quantity I suppose that can be severally reduced uninstalling software.

Remove CLI software

Could 'ulite' package remove unnecessary software of the Ubuntu C.L.I. installation?

Can I install this alpha in PowerPC?

I wanna also share some of the characteristics of it,so that people may have better idea about it...
U-lite focuses on features, speed, and efficiency when selecting the default programs to accomplish the most common tasks computer users do. Thus, U-lite can run on computers which cannot run GNOME, KDE, or Xfce well.
U-lite makes use of the familiar Firefox and Thunderbird as the web browsing and email client respectively. U-lite, however, is also all about choice. Users can easily replace most applications with their favorites without breaking updates.
U-lite is ready for common office tasks because it is powered by the lightweight and effecient GNOME Office. This includes Abiword for word processing tasks and Gnumeric for spreadsheets.

No, you cannot upgrade from 0.8 to 0.9 without a reinstall because it jumps over a version of ubuntu.
