TimburyDotOrg is owned and operated by Timbury Computer Services. For over ten years, Timbury Computer Services has shown home, small business and corporate clients how to use Linux and Open Source software to maximize efficiency and lower costs.As I stated in previous posts, I’m doing direct UDisks support for PCManFM/Libfm. Now I have some things to show.
It now correctly supports different kinds of devices without GVFS. However, LUCKS devices are not supported because I don’t know how to do it. In addition, I’m not sure if LVM or RAID are displayed in [...]
Let’s see the screenshot!
Volumes listed in left pane are handled by direct dbus calls to UDisks, not gvfs or gnome-disk-utility. The code in udisks branch is not finished yet, but I already had mounting and unmounting partially working.

Here are some updates on recent LXDE progress.
The file manager has much exciting progress:
I”m now doing “direct” udisks support without gvfs or gnome-disk-utility. So far the progress is good and it already can listed volumes. Mounting and unmounting should be available soon. This enables volume management totally without gvfs. You can test the source code [...]

Volume management: Currently, gvfs is used for this, but this dependency is temporary and it will be changed [...]

Hi all potential students,
Since most of the previously proposed items are not suitable for Google SoC because they are not challenging enough, I rewrite the whole page and list some real projects which can be done for the whole summer. Some of previously proposed items are too easy and some can even be done within [...]
As many people have seen, LXDE is currently underwent active development, but most of the visible problems are not yet solved and many distros are still shipping out-dated versions of LXDE components.
