[lubuntu-devel] Fwd: Zesty Zapus (17.04) Final Freeze

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi There,

Sunday was busier than expected. Some friends popped round to assemble a
piece of Argos furniture. Very nice :)


OK, resumed checks, installing relevant packages with Synaptic Package
Manager:-

* LO Writer installed OK. Ran LO Writer OK

* GIMP installed OK. Ran OK.

* lubuntu-restricted-addons installed OK

! lubuntu-restricted-extras installed. Problem with
"ttf-mscorefonts-installer". Error window appeared, "Update Information -
failure to download extra data files". Used LO Writer to verify that one of
the fonts - "Comic Sans MS" not available. Went to
/usr/share/fonts/truetype. Discovered there is an empty directory there -
msttcorefonts created at this time.

* Ruby installed OK. Did ruby -e 'puts 2**20' from command line OK

* Installed printer drive for my HP LaserJet by going to
Swift->Preferences->HPLIP toolbox.

* Ran LO Draw. Created a test page. Tried to get a Print Preview - had to
be in web browser. Not the best of experiences. Printed it OK.

* Ran Firefox. Viewed www.theregister.co.uk

* Installed Google Chromium web browser. Viewed www.nextplatform.com OK


Command line tests:-

! man mkdir failed - command man not found

* ri command worked but had to install ruby2.3-doc to get any useful info
about Ruby

* Installed emacs. Created a simple Ruby script file and
itlubuntu-restricted-addons installed OK worked OK.

* Using bash, tested keyboard for key programming keys using the echo
command - @|<>~# - OK

! There was no HP panel icon. Rebooted and it appeared. However, clicking
on it did nothing. Would have expected printer name to be listewd.

* GIMP 2.8 success! Previous problem - not seeing the "Layers... Brushes"
right hand side window fixed.

* Installed and ran W-iFi radar OK.

* Got another error window about MS Core fonts not being available to
download

* Ran System Information OK

HTH,



Ian
