  color background gradient selector quit working
Posted by: trinidad - 08-14-2021, 04:18 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

I get to ask something for a change. After the last update my ability to select a vertical gradient with two colors for a desktop background quit working. It only shows one color now. I'm using it correctly but I'm wondering if it has become deprecated feature. Worked fine since 5.x was released. I realize I can create an image and screenshot it and use it as a backdrop entry but I'm wondering (not complaining) why the color gradient feature stopped working.

  Listen to Music on the Radio
Posted by: Laoserf - 08-14-2021, 04:41 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (3)

Music has been a part of our lives for so many years and it's only natural that we want to hear as much of it as possible. In today's world, we can't deny the fact that most radio luisteren stations are constantly playing music and advertising songs that can be found everywhere. This is one of the main reasons why radio has become such a mainstream form of entertainment. If you want to listen to music on the radio, you have plenty of different options. You could simply walk in a store, pick up your favorite MP3 player or buy a portable device like an earphone.

One option that you won't find very often is an actual radio that can be hooked up into your car stereo system. Most people listen to radio during their daily commute. If you want to listen to music while you're stuck in traffic, you'll want to pick out a portable radio that you can plug into your car's stereo system. Although these are more popular for people who listen to radio in their cars, you can also hook them up into your home stereo system if you'd like.

Another option for people who want to listen to music on the radio is through their home's stereo system. You can get a receiver that will allow you to play radio wherever you are. This might be something that you would want to do if you had a portable radio, but there's really no point in buying one if you aren't going to use it. However, it is a great way to save money and make sure that you always have some music playing at home.

You can also choose to listen to radio with your home theater system. Many people have a DVD player at home that they enjoy watching but they often don't want to carry it out with them. If you have a DVD player and want to listen to music on the radio, you can connect it to your TV using an audio cable. It's important that you have a good source of audio so that you don't hear static or muffled sounds. You will also want a high quality antenna so that the picture and sound from your radio station look good when it's being viewed through the TV screen.

Lastly, you can listen to music on the radio by downloading a program onto your computer. These programs are known as satellite radio software and you can find a lot of them on the internet. There are many different types of software programs available to download. Some are simply simple and don't require a lot of user input, while others are very complex and will let you control all of the features on your radio station. They will even let you adjust the volume of the music or talk show on your radio station.

As you can see, there are several ways that you can listen to music on the radio. You will want to consider all of your options before making your final decision. There are many benefits to having your very own radio station, such as being able to choose music and stations that you want to hear. Take some time to decide what your listening preferences are and then find the right program that fits.

  Scroll bar arrows
Posted by: LarryB1607 - 08-12-2021, 07:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I cannot seem to find anything that works.  I would like to add the arrows to the top and bottom of the right side scrollbar.  I have tried several additions to the .config/GTK-3.0/gtk.css file but none of the suggested entries has done anything.  Any way to do this?  Thanks

example:
$ head ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
*{
-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
-GtkScrollbar-has-secondary-backward-stepper: 1;

  For New Users How to Google Error Messages
Posted by: trinidad - 08-12-2021, 02:33 PM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Let's assume you get an error message like the recent Skype MS key change. Simply copy and paste the error into your search bar adding Ubuntu 20 to the end of the string (Linux Lite is currently based on Ubuntu 20).

Code:
EXPKEYSIG 1F3045A5DF7587C3 Skype Linux Client Repository <[email protected]> Ubuntu 20
For esoteric hardware errors or packaging/version errors you can also use stack exchange and/or Debian at the end of the string. Software specific to Linux Lite like Lite Tweaks add Linux Lite to the end of the string.

I have 5.4, and after update today 8/10 I get a login box for 'linuxlite'.

I have never seen this login box ever before.

It won't accept my password, the one I used to install these updates.

  Hello
Posted by: trimis - 08-09-2021, 11:11 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

I have been using Linux Mint in LiveCD mode for online shopping/banking a couple years now. Recently found out it is moving to the darkside (adding telemetry), so I am looking for a replacement. I have ordered LiveCD of Linux Lite 5.2 off eBay for a test drive; due to arrive in a month or less. Looks like I will be needing help with the firewall. According to Google it's very different from what I'm used to.

  Help Requested, wifi not working

Wifi quit working. Have tried for hours to get it back. Not able to change setting "Enable Wi-Fi" when trying to check the box it does not check.

Not sure if my laptop has a physical wifi switch or not. Have tried to get some information about the switch without success.
I deleted all the saved wifi network connections in hopes that after rebooting the laptop i would have the oppertunity to reconnect, however No wifi network shows as available.

All my other devices work ok on wifi.

Your help will be greatly appreciated!

  Should we take the elementary OS approach?
Posted by: valtam - 08-09-2021, 07:07 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (18)

Google keeps changing it's advertising algorithm with the latest change hurting us the most.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads personally.

Either we seek alternative ways to keep this OS alive and on a steady growth path, or I look for something else to do with my time.

If we take the 'elementary OS' approach whereby they do this with their download link:

(you can enter 0 for the amount and still get a free download link, we would do the same)

I would look at reducing reliance on Google AdSense if this approach gave our OS a future.

This does not imply that I am thinking of leaving the project, on the contrary, I'm always looking for ways to keep it viable. Last month I was offered a 6 figure sum by a US based Acquisitions company, and I turned it down. Food for thought.

Do we give this proven approach a go?

  Can Linux Lite be updated when using persistent live USB version?
Posted by: musicismylife - 08-08-2021, 06:42 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

I'm very new to Linux. I don't want to install it to replace Windows on my laptop.  For my laptop it won't allow for installing LL as an additional OS.

I've been operating LL on persistent live USB for several months but have not been able to do any updates to any components.  I get the error message below.  Is is not possible to do updates while using LL in this way?
