I tried opening an xlsx spreadsheet I created about a year ago. I had difficulty getting it open, but finally did it by using the move command. The cells and all controls except the minimize/maximize and the minimize to tray work. Everything else is frozen and I cannot even close the sheet. The sheet is done in LibreOffice Calc. I am using LLOS 5.8 all updates applied since yesterday. What can I do to get this functional again. Thanks

[pre] Hello everyone,
Hopefully, I am posting this in the right place. I wish to develop PHP plugins for my WordPress website.
So far, I am having little to no luck. I successfully installed Xampp and the WordPress plugin.
My difficulty is in using a text editor to create files with:
Html
PHP
File extensions. What are your recommendations? The main reason I put this post here is I hope it becomes a
tutorial on how to develop PHP plugins on Linux Lite.

Hi, Newbie here, fresh install of Lite 5.8, attempting to perform the initial update and I get this info. (Immediately afterwards it gave an indication that system was up to date?).
I'm not sure if I'm up to date or not.
Many thanks, Smithy :026:

Hi Everyone :wave
I'm a reasonably competent self-taught Windows user that's been interested in Linux for a while. I've tried various live distros on my wonderful Thinkpad, originally I tried Ubuntu (as the universally recommended one), but found it horribly slow. Have persisted and set myself the project to revitalize an old Dell business laptop with a lightweight distro. Tried MX, but it was so non-responsive. Then I tried AntiX as I still liked the whole Dolphin Oracle thing, but again it was too sluggish. So I decided I needed to try a much smaller Distro, and tried Porteus, Q4OS, and Lite.
I settled on Lite because, maybe because I come from Windows, I liked the easy availability of the firewall, and otherwise it's attractive enough and responsive enough for my needs. While I realize it's not that much smaller than the others, it is much more responsive on this machine.
My main usage is studying to online video tutorials. Have got minimal idea around using the command line, but have certainly learnt a lot through trying out the various live distros.

I have installed GreenWithEnvy.
I am unable to set coolbits8
I have tried.
sudo update-grub
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --cool-bits=28 --allow-empty-initial-configuration
I have also tried editing xorg.conf
But it does not work.
Please advise.

As the title says, the file (also in /etc/skel) contains the following:
Code: [Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/lite-updates
Icon=liteupdates
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
OnlyShowIn=XFCE;
X-XFCE-MimeType=inode/directory;x-scheme-handler/trash;
Name=Install Updates
Comment=Get the latest updates for your computer
This leads to unexpected behavior when a program has a "Open Folder" function. I have renamed this file to lite-updates.desktop; a exo-file-manager.desktop file is already in /usr/share/applications
