  Best Xfce distro!
Posted by: happyliter - 07-22-2022, 01:09 AM - Forum: Screenshots - Replies (2)

Decided to deviate from mainline Jammy and try something less hyped for once. I adore it! This is how we do Ubuntu! No junk, simple guis, and giving the user room to breathe, rather than forcing them into your own fancy canary cage.

Really, this may be just the most underrated distro out there.

Lite and love hackers.

  BOINC screen saver
Posted by: seasoned_geek - 07-20-2022, 09:47 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

In the official software repos for LinuxLite there exists the BOINC screensaver.
[Image: boinc-screensaver-1.png]What I cannot find are any instructions on how to activate it. I have BOINC running and BOINCManager. The screen saver does not appear in the ScreenSaver menu as an option. There is nothing I can find on BOINCManager to enable it.
1) Where are the instructions for enabling this in LinuxLite?2) How could this possibly ever get tested without instructions?

  alias ls="ls --color" outputs color codes
Posted by: sentim - 07-19-2022, 08:46 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - No Replies

Hello linuxlite,

I believe it would be better to change bash alias:

from:
alias ls="ls --color"
to:
alias ls="ls --color=auto"

That would not output color codes in terminal.

Thanks

  LightDM 1.32 Released With Various Fixes, Qt4 Support Finally Removed
Posted by: Moltke - 07-19-2022, 02:55 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile
I just bumped into this while checking my feed:https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=LightDM-1.32-Released
An excerpt:

Quote:LightDM 1.32 is basically a collection of fixes that have accumulated in the tree over the past three years. LightDM 1.32 has a wide variety of different bug fixes, fixes build failures on FreeBSD, fixes building with newer Glibc, addressing deprecated items, and also does drop Qt 4 tool-kit support. With Qt4 having been unsupported since 2015, it's been long overdue for removal.

  My open file dialog is missing a textbox to directly enter a file or folder path
Posted by: tenet510h - 07-18-2022, 09:07 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (1)

My open file dialog is missing a textbox to directly enter a file or folder path.

This might be better directed to the xfce team, but for some reason this clunky ui decision where there's no textbox to directly enter a path in the open file dialog is the default on the Linux Lite OS which I'm using. And it's from 2021 version 5.4 with this filename linux-lite-5.4-64bit.iso so perhaps I just need to patch?

  5.4 to 5.8 auto upgrade breaks nvidia
Posted by: seasoned_geek - 07-17-2022, 02:44 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (1)

Decided to set up LinuxLite on a BOINC machine yesterday. Had 5.4 disk so installed that. When installing I checked the box to install 3rd party drivers, etc. I applied my updates, and did everything else. Life was good. Checked from command line and Nvidia drivers installed.

The last button wanted me to upgrade to 5.8. Okay fine. After rebooting screen is locked at 640x480. The GUI for drivers has the "manually installed" radio button forced on and will allow no changes.
Had to fight my way to getting a terminal open.

Code:
lsmod | grep -i nvidia
shows Nvidia driver still running but resolution is wrong and there are no nvidia applications installed to fix resolution. The Display GUI tool is also locked at 640x480 showing no other options.
Code:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
After reboot seems to have fixed it.
If the upgrade had removed whatever forces that "manual" radio button to be checked I could have fixed this from the GUI. None of your stuff is 640x480 friendly though.

  Xfce's Xfwm4 Sees Wayland Port With Wlroots

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile
I just bumped into this while checking my feed: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n...ts-Wayland
An excerpt:

Quote:A wlroots-based Xfce xfwm4 port is in the works and making good progress but with known limitations. There are feature regressions compared to an alternative libweston-based port.
