I have an English desktop and I want calendar week to start from Monday instead of Sunday

Firstly edit locale file

gksudo leafpad /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US

Then change

first_weekday   1
first_workday   2

to

first_weekday   2
first_workday   2

After this you need to generate locales

sudo locale-gen

And logout and login, as you cant run alt+f2 application launcher without lxpanel which needs to be killed.

How to search for files in Lubuntu using GUI application

Lubuntu by default doesn't have a tool for search but it's easy to install one:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install catfish

The application can be found: Menu > Accessories > Catfish

Though as of time of writing, LXFind is in the Lubuntu PPA and is forthcoming shortly.


Changing to Lubuntu from another flavour

If you already have one of the ubuntu family installed (e.g. xubuntu, kubuntu etc) then Upgrade to Lubuntu has the details of how to switch without re-installing.


Change Fonts in Lubuntu

To change the font that window text appears in, you will have to look in different places for different windows.

  1. Use the LXDE preference menu to Open "Openbox Configuration Manager" in 12.04 and later, click "Appearance" tab.
  2. Right click on the bottom panel and select "Panel Settings" to change the panel font size
  3. Use the LXDE preferences menu to open "Customize Look and Feel". Click the Widget tab.
