Please report quirks, bugs in this thread. Cheers

I have been looking how to have each directory to have its own view settings (as in Windows Explorer).

One thread in Reddit says: "This feature is available in 4.16"
(source: https://www.reddit.com/r/xfce/comments/l...c_folders/)

So, I found that version and downloaded it.  But, before I installed it, I checked the version currently running.  It tells me it is 1.8.14.

I then decided to look for a release map and found this:
https://repology.org/project/thunar/versions

Is the version in Linux Lite (and other distros) really 3 releases behind the current, or is some other numbering scheme running to reflect something else?

Just looking for some clarity here.

I recently switched from Q4OS to Linux Lite, while in Q4OS the fan would turn off when doing nothing and go fast when doing something intensive, in Linux Lite, the fan is always at medium speed, how do i fix this

Well ok... I did program on 3.8 for a long time... but ok some things got older and using wine... a windows compiler that works ok got a bit bad... meaning not very ok... so going to 5.6.... install was ok... chrome sync... ok... but after some half an hour or so all passwords of all connections were gone... well when giving your password one could see the name and pass one by one... ok... not that good... it is impossible to fill those all in... I had a file with the passwords... but it isn't doable to import them in Chrome... ok... my wine... looks nice think 5.0 or something... but impossible to use... starting a program is ok... ending it is not possible... the same screen of the program comes back and back and ending it is not possible... only a ctrl/alt/del and a return and you can start again... so Wine is impossible... pity I love Lite and wanted to go on... got back to 3.8 it is still a very good friend... getting a bit too old but ok... is working

Ean,

Try pressing the print screen key without the ctrl or alt key.  It should open a utility called Screenshot which leads through a screen or window capture to a file. Or try opening Screenshot from the menu - probably under accessories.

Anyone else having a problem replying to some posts ?  Specifically posts with an apostrophe character in the subject line don't seem to open but just link back to the forum section listing.

Using firefox  95.0.1 with a few plugins.

Hi,    Although learning the ropes, I'm still relatively new to Linux. With Windows, when I want to print screen and save the file, I hit Control & Print Screen which puts the image on the clipboard. I then open Paint, Paste, and the image appears and can be saved. The image doesn't appear in Paint when I hit Paste on LL 5.6; please advise me on this. My PC is an HP6005, 2.7GHz dual core with 4Gb RAM, onboard graphics. Ean.

Updated the Nvidia driver!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a Nvidia G84M 8600M graphics card.

The screen will freeze as soon as I use Firefox and navigate to the BBC website.

The mouse pointer does not freeze, but nothing else works.

This happens on every other Linux distro, except for Deepin with  "select the option to update the graphics driver" while installing.

I suspect that I need to update the graphics driver.

I have tried to install Linux Lite without and with the additional drivers, but this does not solve the issue.

I have tried 5.6 and the current 5.8 Beta.

Please help!

Guten Abend,

nachdem ich letztens ein uasnahmsweise recht neues Spiel gekauft habe und Spielen wollte, habe ich mich nach Startproblemen, mit meinen Graphictreibern beschäftigt und habe jetzt mehr Probleme als zuvor.

meine GraKa ist eine GrForce 1050 Ti, mein System: Linux Lite 5.6.

Unter "Install-drivers" bzw. "Software und Updates" werden mir verschiedene Treiber vorgeschlagen. Bis jetzt war wohl immer der Punkt der Standarttreiber ausgewählt (OpenSource). Die vermeintlich aktuellste Version war für mich die "Nvidia driver metapacket 470".
Die Auswahl dieses Treibers löste mein Spielproblem nicht und so befolgte ich eine Anleitung, die mir den Treiber: der Endung "495" einbrachte.

NAch Neustart hatte ich nur eine Auflösung zur Auswahl (ca 800 px weite). darauf hin weiter gesucht und einen Tipp gefunden, den ich leider nicht mehr finden kann und nur sagen kann, dass im Terminal ein Errorlog angezeigt wurde. wichtigster Inhalt war der Hinweis den Treiber 390 zu probieren, da  der aktuelle Treiber nicht nutzbar wäre.

Auflösung nun i.O., Problem: öffne ich das oben genante Programm nun, hängt sich Linux auf bzw das Programm. die Maus lässt sich bewegn, aber nichts auswählen(weder im Programm, noch das Menü oder ein anderes Programm). ähnliche Probleme habe ich nun auch bei Spielen, die vorher ohne Probleme liefen.
Als ich in "System-Information" den Reiter "GPU zeichnen" auswählte, wurde der Bildschirm kurz schwarz und ich musste mich neu anmelden.

Nun muss ich zudem zugeben, dass ich verschiedene hilfekösungen getestet habe und inzwischen den Überblick verlor, was ich versucht habe und vielleicht nicht Rückgängig gemacht habe/machen konnte.

Ein Tipp war es die OpenGL version per Terminal direkt zu schreiben auf 4. ...(?) . kann dies das Problem sein, lässt sich das korrigieren?


vielen Dank im vorraus

MfG
