Xubuntu Top 10 FAQ feedback
 

The comments in this mail refer to
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HyhsMPDyyN-mRWRujfZX3JuKX9aWFQPWsxMEiJX99gQ/edit?pli=1

#1
Say something about pulseaudio. Maybe offer purging pulseaudio as a last
resort.

#2
Do we "support" Compiz on Xubuntu? Make a note if we don't. This is
still maybe one of the most low-priority stuff in the list, so even if
it's the second most common, move it to the bottom.

#5
Also tell how the user can get his panels back, in the same question or
other.

#6
Users *can* edit menus in pre-Natty, they just must do it manually.
Point to a tutorial to do this, because some people just wants to do it,
whatever it takes.

+
Howto on installing additional drivers would be nice, even if it's not
objectively in the top 10.
Point people to Software Center or Synaptic and tell them they can
install their favourite app there.
I remember seeing lots of questions about burning discs. Should we
mention something about xfburn?
We don't have to call it "Top 10", if people don't have as many as 10
common problems with Xubuntu.
Proof-read, triple check package names and once again, proof-read.

Cheers,
Pasi

yes, we do, and if this is the most asked question, this belongs near
the top of the list.

Definitely should tell the user this.

something like:

1. [for 4.6] copy '/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to
'~/.config/xdg/menus' and customize it.

2. [for 4.6] You can also
create desktop entries in '~/.local/share/applications' to override the
existing applications (change or hide) or add new ones.

3. [for 4.6] http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu

4. For Xfce 4.8, 'sudo apt-get install alacarte --no-install-recommends'
in a terminal will let you use an editor to change the menus.

xfburn is not the default burner in all releases

Yes, for many people pulseaudio may be mainly extra load, and it might
work worse in basic use than bare ALSA. For some people OSS4 might
work better than ALSA
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713209), but it has
currently no support in ubuntu:

It might be good to tell you need a 3D accelerated graphics driver with it.
