The can't won't etc. apostrophe bug has been fixed. Pretty URL's was the culprit. Every Pretty URL's update version I tried to use, broke the Forums. So I had no choice but to go through every file in the mod looking for clues, and finally nailed it. Best 5 hours of my life spent

Hopefully this won't affect anything else on the Forums. This won't fix previous Thread titles, but will work on any newly created threads. Thank you to the Mods for dealing with this up until now.

Enjoy

Here is the log:
I did try the package fix  in  lite tweaks
Any help is appreciated.
When I tried running "software and updates"  it would not launch so tried running from cmd line and
got the error below. Thought I could remove the ppa as I do not know what that program is.

sudo software-properties-gtk
[sudo] password for jrm:

Hello everyone,

I would like to make this a topic that covers most of the basic grub problems and how to repair them

Your GRUB loader might have broken for a couple of reasons:

• You messed with the boot partition
  
• You installed Windows after GNU/Linux
  
• Or something else...

Quote:My original post about not being able to install "Puddletag" has been solved. But I am unable to see any replies from my original posted question. I've tried logging in and out of my Linux Lite Forum account and can't see any replies as it just returns me to the post listings.

In any case, let me explain how I got it to install. Initially, I had looked through the Package Manager and "Puddletag" was nowhere in sight. So I opened up a terminal and did a search of Flatpak for it. It returned a "not found" message. Around midnight I thought maybe I'll try looking through the Flatpak "Software" GUI program. At first, I couldn't even see where I would enter a search term and began just looking through categories. But then I realized the screen was kind of set up like the way Gnome 3 is. I spotted a magnify glass icon at the top left corner and entered "Puddletag".

Lo and hold, there it was! But it showed "puddletag-snap" which I would assume means it's a snap package (does anyone really like snaps?). I installed it without a hitch though. Let's call that chapter closed for now. Thanks for anyone who tried to help me with my original post. Sorry I can't read your reply.

On a similar note though, I was looking forward to installing GCstar collection database and can't find that either in the original Linux Lite package manager or in Flatpak. I have a very large music collection I was hoping to catalogue this summer. This is another example of the original author's website saying "do this and do that" but it looks to involved to be worth it.

Anyone else have GCstar installed on their Linux Lite installation (5.8)? (I hope I can see your replies this time around!)

You could try installing the 'all' version from bionic in that link. There's no telling how that would end up, so the smart thing to do is try it in a VM first. Good luck.

Hi,
after the today update (done over "Install Updates") and the reboot, the Lite Widget did not have changed his status: it is still "15 days since your last update".
Some help?

Hello folks,

I inherited my sister-in-law's ancient (circa 2007) HP Compaq Presario tower. I've installed Linux Lite on a couple of other computers before and always found it difficult to locate the software I needed. I find the Package Manager lacking in audio-oriented programs.

I've gotten around some of these limitations with this latest installation, and even had to install Flatpak to get at least a few "groovy" apps. But I'm at a real impasse with trying to install my fav music tagging program "Puddletag". It isn't in the currently installed Package Manager (which kind of shocks me) and it's not available as a Flatpak either.

The only advice the Puddletag website states about install it is:

Installing on Ubuntu
You can install puddletag from the Software Centre in recent versions of Ubuntu.

Errrrr... no. Sorry. For me, Puddletag is the de facto music file tagger. I've tried all the others of the years and they all suck balls. "EasyTag" is alright, but has quirks that drives me nuts and is limited in features.

Am I screwed here? I don't want to install from source and mess things up as I've worked hard to get this Linux Lite to where I have it now. It just boggles my mind that the package manager knows nothing of this great piece of software. I have "Puddletag" on a couple of other machines in my home but I don't want to deal with moving music files here and there just to tag the darn things.

Any advice that might help me get this app installed on Linux Lite? (Thanks in advance.)
