Ubuntu Wiki

Mubuntu is the tentative name of a Multimedia derivative of Ubuntu, currently being planned. This page is the starting point for these plans.

==Initial Thoughts==

Things we need to consider:

• Art
  • Theme
  • Color scheme
  • Wallpaper
• Default Desktop Environment
  • Menus
• Kernel requirements
• Packaging
  • Missing apps
  • Outdated apps
  • Apps to remove
  • Metapackages

Please expand and work on this page... I will add more later on.

==Goals==

===Audio Workstation===

Biggest contribution we can make to desktop audio / multimedia is with integration. Press upstream developers for lash support; that's a big piece of the integration issue.

Do we want to start jackd automatically? This is probably not useful to anyone not doing audio work all the time.

==Packages Needed==

===lash===

This package probably needs to go into Debian, if we want the extra line added to /etc/services (that file is maintained by Debian). I (Forest) currently have the packaging part done. I just need to get it accepted by Debian, and have not been through that process in the past. I also need to chat with netbase maintainers to get /etc/services modified (one additional port for lash -- lashd crashes without it).

netbase maintainer: Anthony Towns <ajt@debian.org>
