I've found this usefull script on linux mint 17 xfce live dvd. It is licenced under GNU GPL3.
I've managed to make it work in LL2.
Nice script for installing .ttf fonts.



I'd like to see this in the next LL.
The post is too long to show all the instructions...
Here they are:

I'm trying to get the Linux ports of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Linux Lite.

I'm following these instructions for RTCW, and I'm using the UK installer from here for MOH:AA.

I had no issues with installing RTCW, although I don't seem to have pak0.pk3, from my wine installed windows version.

I'm guessing because of this, it won't run, here's what I'm getting from the terminal:

Not sure what part of the OS or packages are malfunctioning here. Running LL1.0.8

All windows are chopped off such that the right side of the window is gone. This includes the maximize, minimize and close buttons. This is happening on all windows. File mgr, terminal Tbird, firefox, filezilla... everything. I can not access menu functions on R side of windows like the mozilla stuff. 

I tried starting in recovery mode and ran repair packages. Didn't work. I tried a system update didn't work. I am wondering if uninstalling and reinstalling windows mgr and or thunar might do the trick, but I don't know the commands to do this.

I also though about reinstalling the OS and ugrading to ver 2, but I don;t know if I have to backup files, which is a problem because I can't see the files that would be displaying on the right side of the file mgr windows.

Please help! I have work to do today and can't

Thanks

My laptop is dual boot with Win7 and Xubuntu. I would like to remove Xubuntu and install LL2. Not sure what to do. I don't want to mess up the Win7 system as my daughter needs Office and Photoshop for school.

When I installed Xubuntu I had 30gb free in Win7. I told the Xubuntu installer to use 12gb. When it finished Win7 had 8gb free and it used 22gb. Win7 is now a pain with very little free space. So...Could I allocate less space for Linux Lite and grow the Win7 partition a little? Is there a way to uninstall Xubuntu? What happens to the boot loader in all these changes?

My drive layout is below. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have been having problems installing Wine and don't know why but when I open install/remove I get an error message. I have attached a copy of my system report. Please help if you can.

Hello,
I have this device AWUS036H for connecting to external wifi, it has its own antenna, I also I have a Yagi 25dBi external antenna, and also an internal 20dBi antenna.
They sent with it a printed photo tutorial, this was for accessing none public wifi by various means using a different Linux Distro.
This is not what I want to do, or how I want to use the equipment.
We have some free public access wifi hotspots at various locations, for everyone and also visitors to use. Not truly free as we pay for those services and don't have a choice in the matter as it is a tax.

I wanted to know which software to add to Linux Lite, that will -
1/ display the wifi it can find.
2/ show me which of those wifi are free public access , home or business, so I do not connect where I should not be connecting.
3/ inform me of the distance from my home the wifi connection is, as I want to do various comparisons between the 3 antenna under different conditions such as weather parameters, time of day, location and direction of the antenna.
4/ allow me to connect to the free public wifi.

1. Open the Thunar file manager
2. Click on Edit and then on Configure custom actions
3. Add A new custom action by clicking on a '+' button
4. Enter this in the text boxes:
Name: Check MD5
Description: Computes MD5 checksum for the selected file.
Command:

I seem to be having the same difficulty as Tom47 described on this thread:-

https://www.868212.xyz/forums/index...opic=741.0

I was also trying to install Chrome and kept getting the following Error notice:

ERROR
"Chrome could not be installed."

I tried the Install/Remove Software work-around suggested by gold-finger on the same thread but Synaptic keeps kicking me out with this:

AN ERROR OCCURED.
The following details are provided

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues and resolved them.

Newbie question - procedure.

Re Mozilla Thunderbird/Firefox.  Periodically after I have opened Thunderbird or Firefox on the screen , and then think that I have minimised these, but I can not find them  on the desktop bar at the bottom of the screen to maximise again.  When trying to reopen them via  the menu/internet/ route a message comes up that they are already open and the only way out is to either close the program concerned or restart and force close.

What is the procedure please to avoid restart and to "reopen/maximise" the program without the risk of losing any "current" work.  Thanks

Running LL2.0 - but also noticed in Mint Maya on another PC

I am not sure if I am allowed to post software made by our selfs, just remove if its not allowed otherwise......

So since my change over to Linux I have really missed making software which was useful on windows using Delphi, I would normally make these software’s for personal use and then offer them for download for people who might also find them useful, nothing special just simple apps that could be useful to some.

So I finally installed Lazarus IDE and started making some linux useful apps(in my opinion) which is coded in free pascal, I am just starting with real simple stuff just to get use to the differences between free pascal and Delphi... anyway here is a Ohms law calculator for people who vape out there... I have included the windows one incase anyone wants it and also to see how the linux one will be later
