Bonjour à tous, je viens d'installer Linux Lite sur un vieux portable Toshiba.  Pour lire ma musique j'utilisais Lollypop avec Linux Mint.  Je l'ai installé sur Linux Lite.  Lollypop s'ouvre, mais malheureusement il ne charge pas mes fichiers mp3 dans sa base de données.  Il m'affiche 0 albums, 0 artistes, 0 morceaux. Pourtant, je peux lire ces mêmes fichiers avec VLC.    Quelqu'un peut il m'aider ?  Un grand merci d'avance !

Simple-scan is acting up, so I'm thinking about trying a different application. What is the best, most reliable, in your opinion? working again. I did a system recovery back to 5.4.

Antes que nada aclaro que tengo unas dos semanas usando Linux Lite, el problema que me surgio es que instale XAMPP y despues de instalarlo ejecute el manage-linux-x64.run para abrir la consola, hasta aqui todo bien, luego puse un acceso directo de la ubicacion del archivo en el escritorio y cuando intente abrirlo me pidio "abrir con" como supuse que era un programa, le puse <<ejecutar programa>> pero no funcionó, no me abre la consola de administracion de XAMPP.
Supongo yo que si elimino esas "asociaciones" mi consola nuevamente se abrira sin problema.
Me pueden ayudar para "desasociar" o quitar el Abrir con <<ejecutar programa >> o Abrir con <<Install/Remove Software>>

Intente poner una imagen con el ejemplo, pero creo que el foro no lo admite

Muchas gracias por su ayuda

I've been using Linux as main Operating System for more than 20 years.
In past years, I gave Gnome, Kde Plasma, Mate a try but in the end I always revert back to Xfce
due to simplicity, stability. 
Lately I tried Xubuntu 20.04 but I found it disappointing (bugs, slowness) - if you want to use Kde use either Kde Neon or
Manjaro Kde Plasma- so you get an updated version of Kde. Find below my (raw) feedback. I hope it can be of interest. :003:


Installation of Lite 5.6 went smooth - no issue to report (I created a /home partition before installation)

I missed some applications which were not installed by default. I'm not fond of snap and I tried to add them
through apt & Lite Software (Chromim)  but had to add extra PPAs and even AppImage sofware : 
- Extra PPA :  signal (Messaging)  - instructions on  https://signal.org/download/linux/
- Exra PPA : virtualbox (so I can get the most recent version) - instructions https://linuxhint.com/install-virtualbox-linux/ as I need a Windows 10 VM from time to time.
- Extra DEB : yacreader  (a great comics reader) -  https://yacreader.com/downloads
- Extra packages : chromium (always good to have two browsers), audacious (for music), featherpad (to edit text), neofetch, keepassxc, firejail, opensssh-server, dnscrypt, qbittorrent, youtube-dl
I often have to  find duplicate files on disks  and edit (cut, extract) videos on my system. The best software for these tasks I found are :
Losslesscut (VidCutter stopped working) &  czkawka (fslint no longer works/no longer as package). Unfortunately they are not available through deb, PPA but as AppImages.
So I added AppImageLauncher - https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/ and downloaded the AppImages on
https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/releases/ and  https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/releases/
The youtube-dl package is old (on Kubuntu I had a more recent version through snap) - I had to download the most recent binary version on
the official website - in the past there were extra PPAs but it seems there are gone.

Mousepad has no auto-save feature so you can loose files if your system hangs or face a power issue and don't save on frequent basis. I therefore had to install Featherpad
Vlc is installed by default but I prefer audacious to play music- it's lightweight. 

I replaced ntp by chrony : ntpd listens on network interfaces (not just loopback), chrony does not and is way more modern.
I unistalled samba (also listening on network interface) - I don't want other systems to use my workstation as a Windows server/storage
For ad-blocking on browsers I use Ublock Origin. DO NOT USE the webext-ublock-origin  package, it does not block. Download the version through Mozilla
& Chrome stores.

Tweaks I did :
- I added the Xfce weather applet to the panel
- I found the fonts way too big by default  for terminal and Desktop - I have an external screen
- Configure terminal for F12 xfce-terminal drop down - Yakuake like https://averagelinuxuser.com/xfce-drop-down-terminal/
- Speed up / mounting add noatime in /etc/fstab

Bugs I faced :
- Network printer (Brother) configuration failing. I was not able to add my printer (no issue on Manjaro)
Cups errors :
E [20/Sep/2021:18:58:25 +0200] [Client 16] Returning IPP server-error-internal-error for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost/printers/ImprimanteBrother) from localhost.

This is due to .local (multicast) resolution not working.
Package libnss-mdns  was not installed.  In addition /etc/nsswitch.conf needed some fixing :
hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
instead of
hosts:          files dns
- Wrong gif association (Firefox) - should be ImageViewer - blame it on Ubuntu
- A few French translation issues (mousepad, Xfce Menu) - but it's not Lite's fault
- Some Apparmor errors - again Ubuntu's fault :
Apparmor errors : apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="/usr/bin/evince-thumbnailer" name="/tmp/tumbler-X70EP90.png"
Need to add to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince : owner /tmp/evince-thumbnailer*/{,**} rw,
There are others errors for cups...


In a few words, Lite performs very well. I don't have any major issue. I'm satisfied. i'll keep it . :045: :045: :045:
It's stable :048:. I'm longing for the version based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - but I will wait several months after the release to give it a try and compare it to Linux Voyager - also based on Xubuntu
which is a bit more polished (font size/selection, desktop backgrounds, applications by default) but consumes way more resources.



What's next ?
Adding a more recent libreoffice version  (7.2.1) - https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/ for improved Office compatibility
Adding extra software (gthumbs for photos collection sorting, mpd and ymuse - https://github.com/yktoo/ymuse for playing my MP3 collection, qemu to test Linux ISOs : qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -vga std  -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 4096 -hda  isofile)
Add a more recent kernel package (5.14 ?) - not sure if I should see some performances improvement and this is really worth the effort
Install Variety to change desktop pictures automatically
Install goodvibes (lightweight internet radio player ) - which also requires  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio so far not needed

Linux 4.15.0-156-generic (x86_64)
Version #163-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 19 23:31:58 UTC 2021
I did a normal software update last week and now every time I boot-up, the DVD player pops open as if it is selected in the BIOS looking for a disc.
It is NOT selected in the start-up BIOS as the first device, the hard drive is.
This has never happened before.
Is this a Linux issue? How can I stop this?

Hey there everyone,

Not sure how much information one needs to help me get Valgrind to be fully setup. If necessary, I will post the version of Linux Lite and Code::Blocks currently installed on my computer. HOpefully, what is included will be sufficient.

I am currently using Code::Blocks as my compiler. I have created a simple project by the name of DynIntArray. in this project there are two classes:
DynIntArray & DynVoidArray. Each one has a dynamic array. In order to verify that my project is not leaking memory, I am hoping to use Valgrind. I have already installed it, but I now need to edit the bashrc file so it includes "export VALGRIND_LIB = '/usr/lib/valgrind'. Unfortunately, once I have opened the bashrc file to edit it, I am not sure how to save it. Furthermore, the video I was watching seems to be meant for Ubuntu rather than Linux Lite. How may I open, edit, and save the changes I wish to make to the .bashrc file? Hopefully, with some assistance, I can check to ensure the project is not leaking memory.

Thank you for reading this post, and I very much look forward to reading your responses.

:49:  Linux lite 4.8,

Hi Everyone,

I have an HP Chromebook 11 G4 Chromebook. Chrome OS is EOL, Followed instructions from Neverware, and updated bios, and now can install pretty much any OS I choose.  I choose Linux Lite, due to it working so well for me in the past. The problem lies where I have no sound. The card comes up as "Dummy"  It is an Intel Card. I try Aplay and says it dont exist. PulseAudio dont do to much either. I will attach information I captured in settings on the hardware I am using, and the messages I get.  To help, I have tried several different versions of Linux, Ubuntu, Debian,Fedora, and of course Linux Lite. The only one that actually gives me sound is Fedora.  But it is so low you have to put the laptop speaker next to your ear to hear it. Sound worked perfectly on regular chrome os.  Spent a lot of time on this, and I actually have three more of these of the same chromebook, I need to do.  I appreciate your help.

Jeff

Hey gang;
Been a linux user since "old" Redhat 5.2 in 1998 .  I use Linuxlite because I use old hardware (which it runs on), I like XFCE, and I like that its downstream from Debian/Ubuntu.  Your web site, especially your download page is clogged with ads, circular links, and links to junk software.  There is not, that I have found, an obvious download link on the download page to download the latest version (all the links I found seem to lead elsewhere). I finally got the download from the ftp mirror.  Gang, I really like and use this distribution, but are you trying to commit web design suicide??.  To the web site designer, "Glad your here, but please go back to the drawing board, site is really bad / hard to use because of the above".  Have a great day.
