- | Lubuntu 19.04 is the 19th release of this distro and the second Lubuntu release to feature the new LXQt desktop, which replaced LXDE starting with 18.10. LXQt had been planned as the new desktop since Lubuntu 14.10, so it has been a long wait for its release. As implemented in 18.10, it had some rough edges, but these have all been fixed in 19.04 and the new desktop has now hit its stride. | + | Lubuntu 19.04 is the 19th release of this distro and the second Lubuntu release to feature the new LXQt desktop, which replaced LXDE starting with 18.10.

- | LXQt desktop | + | Lubuntu 19.04 a été publié le 18 avril 2019 ; il est tout à fait digne de votre attention, car il propose quelques améliorations importantes par rapport à Lubuntu 18.10. Lubuntu 19.04 est une publication normale ; aussi, elle comprend le support pendant neuf mois, jusqu’en janvier 2020. |
+ | |||
+ | Le nom de code pour cette publication - Disco Dingo -, ressemble à une chanson à thème écrite par les Bee Gees et jouée sur un didgeridoo ! Contrairement à ce qu’il a fait concernant les noms de code précédents, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lubuntu 19.04 est la 19e version de cette distrib. et la deuxième qui présente le nouveau bureau LXQt qui remplace LXDE depuis la version 18.10. Le nouveau bureau LXQt est projeté depuis Lubuntu 14.10, ce qui fait qu’on a dû attendre longtemps pour sa sortie. Son implémentation dans la 18.10 révélait quelques problèmes, mais ceux-ci sont corrigés dans la 19.10 et le nouveau bureau est maintenant bien rodé. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **LXQt desktop | ||
The LXQt desktop took a long time coming, four years after being initially planned. During those years, the old LXDE desktop went into “maintenance” as the developers worked on the new desktop. This had the curious effect of leaving Lubuntu users with a really stable and predictable LXDE experience where everything worked and nothing was changed from release to release, including two very solid LTS releases. It left the users with high standards for the new desktop. Beta-level software wasn’t going to cut it. | The LXQt desktop took a long time coming, four years after being initially planned.

- | Lubuntu 19.04 is mostly an iterative development of LXQt, working towards the first Lubuntu LXQt Long Term Support (LTS) version which will be 20.04 LTS, due out in April 2020. The new LXQt desktop was introduced right after the last LTS release to give three “standard” releases to tune it before the first LTS version, a wise approach to introducing something this new. Many Lubuntu users will continue using 18.04 LTS, with its older LXDE desktop, though, until 20.04 LTS comes out with the hopefully perfected LXQt desktop. | + | Le bureau LXQt |
+ | |||
+ | Le bureau LXQt a pris son temps et est arrivé 4 ans après sa planification initiale. Au cours de ces années, le vieux bureau LXDE était en « maintenance » pendant que les développeurs travaillaient sur le nouveau bureau. Cela a eu comme effet étrange que les utilisateurs de Lubuntu avaient une expérience LXDE très stable et prévisible où tout fonctionnait très bien et rien ne changeait de version en version, y compris deux versions à support à long terme qui étaient extrêmement solides. Ainsi, les utilisateurs s’attendaient à ce que le nouveau bureau soit de très haut niveau. Un logiciel bêta n’allait point suffire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | La première publication LXQt, Lubuntu 18.10, n’était pas une version solide. Elle avait des bugs et d’autres problèmes et était un peu sommaire. Il y avait des problèmes de configuration du pavé tactile, pas de vérification d’orthographe dans LibreOffice et des problèmes de réseau sur, à la fois, l’Ethernet et le WiFi. Les problèmes de réseau affectaient d’autres distrib. et étaient constatés sur Xubuntu aussi. Cependant, il se peut qu’ils concernent uniquement des matériels précis. Au moins un critique l’a remarqué et certains utilisateurs avaient des plaintes similaires sur les forums Ubuntu. | ||

- | I initially tested Lubuntu 19.04 in a series of live DVD sessions before installing it on my System76 laptop. Total installation time was 15 minutes, which is a couple of minutes faster than previous Lubuntu LXDE installations. The new Calamares installer works well and is fairly easy to follow, even though it is somewhat different from the old Ubiquity installer. | + | I initially tested Lubuntu 19.04 in a series of live DVD sessions before installing it on my System76 laptop.

- | The first thing of note when booting up Lubuntu 19.04 is the new wallpaper, or at least semi-new wallpaper. 19.04 features the same star field wallpaper seen in 18.04 LTS and 18.10, but with a striking new hummingbird added. The hummingbird is the emblem of LXQt, of course, and thus shows up in many places, including on the menu button. While the new wallpaper highlights the introduction of something new, it is odd that it was not introduced with 18.10, when LXQt was first introduced. Likely new artwork wasn’t at the top of the developers’ list. | + | Installation |
- | Perhaps the first thing to do after an installation is to install any software updates that have accrued since the release. Lubuntu has moved away from the Software Updater (package name: update-manager), which provides automatic checking, notification and then manual installation of updates for most Ubuntu flavors. Instead | + | Au départ, j’ai testé |
- | Changes | + | **In testing after a fresh boot, the idle RAM is 376 MB, compared to 258 MB for Lubuntu 18.04 LTS. LXQt is not as lightweight as LXDE was. The boot up time on my hardware is 1:36, which is slower than any previous version of Lubuntu. In comparison, Lubuntu 18.04 LTS booted up in 51 seconds. |
- | So what is new in 19.04 besides | + | The first thing of note when booting up Lubuntu |
- | When Lubuntu shifted from the GTK 2 toolkit-based LXDE desktop to the Qt-based LXQt desktop, most of the included applications were changed. | + | Lors de tests après un nouveau démarrage, la RAM au ralenti était de 376 Mo comparée à 258 Mo pour Lubuntu |
- | The one exception on the Qt applications list is Firefox, the default web browser, which remains a GTK-based application. The Lubuntu developers had hoped to move to the Qt-based Falkon browser in Lubuntu | + | La première chose qui se remarque quand vous démarrez Lubuntu 19.04 est le nouveau papier peint, ou, du moins, le papier peint quasi neuf. La 19.04 présente le même fond d’écran d’un champ d’étoiles déjà vu dans la 18.04 LTS et la 18.10, mais avec l’ajout d’un nouveau et impressionnant colibri. Bien entendu, le colibri est le symbole de LXQt et s’affiche dans beaucoup d’endroits, |
- | Included Applications | + | **Perhaps the first thing to do after an installation is to install any software updates that have accrued since the release. Lubuntu has moved away from the Software Updater (package name: update-manager), |
+ | |||
+ | La première chose à faire après une installation est peut-être d’installer toutes les mises à jour des logiciels depuis la publication de la distrib. Lubuntu a abandonné le Gestionnaire de mises à jour (nom du paquet : update-manager), | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Changes | ||
+ | |||
+ | So what is new in 19.04 besides the wallpaper? The main change over 18.10 is a new version of LXQt, 0.14.1, based upon the Qt toolkit, version 5.12.2, which includes many refinements and fixes. There are lots of small improvements throughout, that make Lubuntu 19.04 much more functional than 18.10. Improvements include the image viewer, LXImage-Qt, that now shows image Exif metadata, fixing LibreOffice spell checking, and a new configuration page that allows some very welcome touchpad options for laptops. Full disk encryption is also now properly supported. The latest version of the file manager, PCManFM-Qt, also includes many improvements and new features. For instance, it now includes a “root” file manager that allows modifying system files, when needed, and a split view capability. The file search keyboard shortcut is now F3, instead of the previous Ctrl+Alt+F.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Changements | ||
+ | |||
+ | Qu’y a-t-il de neuf dans la 19.04 outre le fond d’écran ? Le changement principal par rapport à la 18.04 est une nouvelle version de LXQt, la 0.14.1, basée sur la version 5.12.2 de la boîte à outils de Qt, qui comporte beaucoup d’ajustements et correctifs. Il y a des tonnes de petites améliorations un peu partout, qui rendent Lubuntu 19.04 beaucoup plus fonctionnelle que la 18.10. Les améliorations comprennent la visionneuse d’images, LXImage-Qt, qui montre maintenant les méta-données Exif de l’image, la vérification d’orthographe corrigée dans LibreOffice et une nouvelle page de configuration qui permet quelques options bienvenues pour le pavé tactile sur les portables. Le chiffrement du disque entier est maintenant pris en charge comme il faut. La dernière version du gestionnaire de fichiers, PCManFM-Qt, inclut également de nombreuses améliorations et nouvelles fonctionnalités. Par exemple, il comporte maintenant un gestionnaire de fichiers « root » qui permet la modification des fichiers système, au besoin, et le partage de la vue. Le raccourci clavier pour chercher un fichier est maintenant F3, au lieu du Ctrl+Alt+F précédent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **When Lubuntu shifted from the GTK 2 toolkit-based LXDE desktop to the Qt-based LXQt desktop, most of the included applications were changed. Lubuntu 19.04 will run both GTK and Qt-based applications just as well, but since Qt applications have a different look, the developers wanted to provide a default Qt experience. The suite of applications included are almost all Qt-based and mostly different from the ones included with the previous LXDE desktop. This creates a bit of a learning curve for users upgrading. Of course, users can still install any of the old GTK-based applications they know and love. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The one exception on the Qt applications list is Firefox, the default web browser, which remains a GTK-based application. The Lubuntu developers had hoped to move to the Qt-based Falkon browser in Lubuntu 18.10. It has excellent potential, but it wasn’t totally ready for daily use yet.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Quand Lubuntu a migré du bureau LXDE basé sur la boîte à outils GTK 2 vers le bureau LXQt basé sur Qt, la plupart des applications incluses ont été changées. Lubuntu 19.04 peut tout aussi bien exécuter des applications basées sur GTK que celles basées sur Qt, mais, puisque l’apparence des applications QT est différente, | ||
+ | |||
+ | La seule exception sur la liste des applications Qt est Firefox, le navigateur Web par défaut, qui reste une application basée sur GTK. Les développeurs de Lubuntu espéraient aller vers le navigateur basé sur Qt, Falkon, dans Lubuntu 18.10. Son potentiel est excellent, mais il n’était pas encore entièrement prêt pour une utilisation quotidienne. | ||

Lubuntu 19.04 is the first release that does not have a 32-bit version for i386 architecture. The last 32-bit computers produced are 13 years old now and today they really don’t have the RAM and CPU power to run a modern operating system. Lubuntu will continue to offer 18.04 LTS for 32-bit until its end of life in April 2021. Ubuntu itself dropped 32-bit support with the 17.10 release, and Xubuntu also dropped 32-bit with 19.04. | Lubuntu 19.04 is the first release that does not have a 32-bit version for i386 architecture.

For users moving from Lubuntu LXDE, the LXQt desktop will take a bit of adapting, with the new suite of Qt applications and new settings.

Je n’ai rien trouvé dans la 19.04 qui a besoin d’être corrigé. S’il n’y avait pas la période de neuf mois de support pour cette publication normale, elle aurait pu être une version à support à long terme, au moins pour ce qui concerne la qualité de l’expérience utilisateur et l’absence de bugs. | ||
