[Bug 792850] Re: Lubuntu Oneiric live desktop lacks restart and shutdown buttons

[Erick Brunzell]

"The screenshot supplied demonstrating the reported issue does not show
the default Lubuntu theme, it seems to show an LXDE theme instead."

Correct, and it only happens on the live desktop, not after I've
installed. I began discussing this on the mailing list, to which I'd not
subscribed in time for Julien's release announcement, but there were
three issues regarding casper and/or ubiquity that I didn't experience
with Ubuntu:

1) The Lubuntu Alpha1 Live CD boots to a tty, so you have to type startx
to get the DE.

2) The default DE lacks restart or shutdown buttons.

3) Upon completing the installation I was asked whether to restart or
keep using the Live DE as usual. I chose to restart and the CD ejected
as expected but the screen was just blank. So I removed the CD, closed
the tray and hit enter, but nothing happened. I tried some common key
combos but finally had to use the reset button on my box to complete the
restart.

Per Julien's instructions on the mailing list I repeated this procedure,
and upon booting to a tty I tried waiting (I took a shower), and I tried
to restart lxdm via "sudo service lxdm start", but I'm used to Gnome so
I could easily be doing something wrong.

Regardless I could only get X to start by typing "startx" in the tty.
Then I end up in what appears to be a pure LXDE.

"Here, a virtualbox 4.0.8 VM running Lubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Alpha 1 shows
the expected Lubuntu theming and the shutdown menu has all the expected
buttons."

I'm running on actual hardware, not in a VM. The hardware involved is:

JetWay JATOM-GM1-230-LF Motherboard
Intel Atom 230 CPU @ 1.60GHz
System Memory 2GB DIMM
Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics
Intel N10/ICH 7 Family High Def Audio Controller

"Did you perhaps change themes, and fail to note this in your bug
report? "

No. I installed nothing. Well, since Julien requested a screenshot I
installed the screenshot tool, but that's all.

Maybe starting from "startx" rather than starting from lxdm starts the
wrong session?

Given what Julien said in the release announcement I doubt this is worth
spending much time on.

Title:
  Lubuntu Oneiric live desktop lacks restart and shutdown buttons

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  I was just testing the Lubuntu Oneiric Alpha1 image from here:

  http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/

  Now, first and foremost, this is more of a test regarding bug filing
  against the Lubuntu project than anything else. Since it is now on a
  fast-track to becoming a full fledged member of the Ubuntu family I
  decided to dedicate my iso-testing skills (however limited they may
  be) to the Lubuntu project.

  That said, I was testing the aforementioned image and noticed that the
  Reboot and Shutdown buttons are lacking on the live desktop only. They
  are present post-installation.

  This is hardly anything critical given that this is Alpha1, as stated
  above this is largely a learning exercise for myself so once Lubuntu
  is added to QA's iso-testing I'll have some idea what I'm doing :^)
