My Lubuntu notes

 

 

 

 

 

Change mouse cursor speed

 

---

xset m 10 4

 

If at startup the mouse is slow again, put this command in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart.

 

 

 

 

 

Building the latest version of Boost

 

Install an older version of Boost using Synaptic. Then download and extract the newest version. In the extracted folder, for example 'boost_1_46_1' use bjam:

 

---

./bootstrap ./bjam --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost toolset=gcc stage

 

---

./bootstrap sudo ./b2 --build-dir=/usr/local/lib/boost

 

 

 

 

Keyboard shortcuts

 

From '/home/my_user_name/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml':

 

---

SUPER-E: File manager SUPER-R: Run CTRL-ESCAPE: Menu CTRL-ALT-DEL: Task manager CTRL-ALT-T: Start Terminal CTRL-ALT-D: File manager
