  Install Shutter
Posted by: JohnD - 11-02-2021, 01:45 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hello,


I just tried for a long time to install shutter and install all the necessary packages for it.  But it did not work because I could not install all the required packages. 


Is there any chance that you add Shutter to "Linux Lite Software"?

Regards JohnD

  Dual boot Linux Lite and Prime OS
Posted by: pkmaarsen - 11-01-2021, 11:23 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hi.
Trying to install Android Prime OS next to Linux Lite. Standard installation like with Lubuntu, MX Linux, etc. was relatively simple. When I tried this method with Prime OS, theGrub menu did not show Linux Lite.
Therefore I followed https://brothersithub.blogspot.com/2020/...buntu.html
Thus I installed Prime OS in the Linux Lite System folder / directory of Linux Lite.
To make a boot menu, I opened Grub Customizer, created a new Configuration with the name Prime OS.
Everything looked OK. I rebooted and went to the Grub Menu, where I found Prime OS next to Linux Lite 5.4 After choosing Prime OS, the answer was: '/primeos/kernel' not found.

Furthermore, I got the following message:
===========================

  Where to put new program
Posted by: Swamp Rat - 10-31-2021, 02:04 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

I have installed Image Scan! for Linux in the past for use with my Epson scanner, but in a different distro, and want to install it on one of my LL5 computers, since it gives me many more options than the included Document Scanner. Always before this, as well as I can recall, the tar.gz file extracted everything without my giving it any input as to where to put things. This time, the default location shows as my Downloads folder, where the tar.gz file is located. That's NOT where I want things put. But where should I install it?

I could put it in /Home, but I think somewhere in / would be tidier, if the program would work there and show up in my Graphics menu. Would /usr be a good place? Or is somewhere else in / better? Obviously, the location for the files may (almost) be irrelevent, but I'd prefer to install it where it would be best.

I had hoped that after 7 1/2 years of using Linux, I would no longer have any questions, but Reality let me know otherwise.  :016:

Thanks in advance for any advice.  :bow

  Thunderbird audio notification not consistent
Posted by: kat - 10-27-2021, 02:47 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hi, guys,I have emails that are important coming in, so I need audio notification. I'm using Thunderbird which I really like. I have a .wave file in Preferences under Incoming Mails. It plays sometimes, not all the time, which is annoying. I need immediate notification for some emails. I have visual notifications that work too, but I notice that even that doesn't work along with the audio sometimes. What can be done about that? Karen
*I just found online that people were having the same trouble. They suggested a few add-ons. One that worked for me is Mailbox Alert. Works great now! I went back in preferences under Incoming Mails and unchecked the boxes there. Mailbox Alert does it for you. Wink

  Linux Lite not booting when I turn computer on
Posted by: adrianhouse78 - 10-27-2021, 01:43 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (11)

Hi,

Newb here, loving Linux Lite but can't figure out how to get my computer to boot it on turning it on. I did the dual install of Linux Lite and windows, and at one point I think I chose to have Windows 10 give me a choice which OS to use when I turn the computer on, but it doesn't do that. Instead it just goes straight into Windows again.

So the only way I can use Linux Lite is by going (in Windows) Settings > Recovery > advanced Restart > Restart from USB etc and then I select Ubuntu, and it restarts and boots Linux instead of Windows. Not what I want to be doing every time obviously!

If anyone can help me, I'd much appreciate it.

Another question, unrelated, is can I get access to all my files in Windows from Linux Lite? I.e. documents, pictures, etc. Or do I need to download them from the cloud? Thanks again.

Adrian

  dual boot windows
Posted by: joyletsdj - 10-27-2021, 12:51 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

The help manual has suggested I visit the forum to request help with dual booting windows on another physical drive. I want to dual-boot Windows and Linux Lite, with Linux Lite on its own dedicated physical drive. Thanks

Thank you for the reply. I went ahead and updated the OS to 5.4.

Nice Smile

Hi, I'm sorry to post here but I'm brand new to Linux Lite and I can't figure out how to do a brand new post (it's about a completely different topic). Can someone tell me? Thanks a lot, Adrian

  How to log into Cinnamon?
Posted by: Rapidrob - 10-25-2021, 04:05 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

I down loaded Cinnamon via the Terminal and the software is listed in my software files.
How do you log into cinnamon to use the features? The Log in/out does not show this option.
