[lubuntu-devel] Xenial Alpha 2 available for testing, due Friday

[Walter Lapchynski]

Thank you so much for your help Herminio!!!!!!!!!!! Between you and Phill
Whiteside, I've marked the PPC images as ready. THey don't have the full
gamut of test cases, but this is an alpha. Be mindful that when it comes to
maybe beta and certainly final, I won't be quite so forgiving. So test like
nuts!

As for the lxqt packages, looking at packages.ubuntu.com, it doesn't appear
there are ppc builds, but according to Launchpad they're being built for
everything. Some examples:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm-qt
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxqt-panel
I know I had no problem installing from the xenial repos on my Raspberry
Pi2, for example. More info on this is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt#Stable_Packages
My guess is you mean the PPA. That's a little too bleeding edge, methinks
and lacks all the archs (as most PPAs do). Testing the packages in the repo
is ideal. If you get it working, send a screenshot!!!

Thanks,
