Hi all,

These should be enabled by default :)
The only one that needed to be enabled so that one could install say 
Skype is: Canonical Partner

Yes, this is needed before installing any package, specially for the 
very first time 'after' installing the system.

However, I don't think all these will solve the issue. Since the first 
days of LSC, it is known that it does not provide all the packages that 
you could find, for example in Synaptic. Unless of course this has been 
fixed which I'm not aware of.

Hope that helps!

P.S.
There were many discussions in the past. Lubuntu Team (Julien) was about 
to drop LSC but if I remember correctly, Jorn stepped in and helped to 
fix some bugs and then LSC was included by default with Lubuntu until 
now. I hope my memory isn't rusty and that what happened :)
