  New to Linux Lite
Posted by: Jim - 04-02-2014, 08:55 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hello everyone. My name is Jim and I just downloaded and installed Linux Lite. I feel like a fish out of water. I can't even figure out how to install a program that isn't already in the system. I was wondering if there might be a good tutorial to watch to figure this all out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Have a great day!

Jim

  Bug in reverting the menu
Posted by: cerise - 04-02-2014, 05:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I clicked on the revert button to reset my menu - but it did not go back to the original state as it was during and after installation. Instead, the "Install Updates" disappeared and the icons for the first 3 submenus for System went missing.

  Install Updates - Terminal
Posted by: Coastie - 04-02-2014, 03:43 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

:-\ After reading post about users losing their menu items, Linux Lite installed modified desktop, and warnings from Valtam about resetting menu I wonder about the Install Updates - Terminal. Some of the updates I can see are from Jerry Bezencon (Valtam) but some but some are from Ubuntu and some I do not reconize. Are all updates offered by this program from or screened by the Linux Lite Development Team; therefore, safe to do?

I no longer even ask Synaptic to check for update dues to be concerned about messing up Linux Lite.

  Version Lock Does Not Work With a dist-upgrade
Posted by: leegold - 04-01-2014, 07:29 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

Hi,

In Synaptic Software manager I lock a version of gqview, it appears red in Synaptic and seems to indicate it's locked. But when I do a dist-upgrade it updates to geeqie and newer version of gqview.

Is there away when I run upgrade to skip the "upgrade" for gqview or block anything named geeqie?

  Sudoku
Posted by: anrke - 04-01-2014, 02:34 AM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (1)

This is a weird problem and probably not what is really intended by "games support" but I had installed sudoku and it worked a couple of times but now it just doesn't respond when I click on it. i googled it and saw some people had a similar problem but supposedly it was fixed in the latest version. Any ideas? I can see launchpadintegration on the installed list, but this is the error I get when I run the command in the terminal:

Quote:ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for LaunchpadIntegration
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/gnome-sudoku", line 23, in <module>
    start_game()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnome_sudoku/gnome_sudoku.py", line 21, in start_game
    import main
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnome_sudoku/main.py", line 9, in <module>
    from gi.repository import LaunchpadIntegration

  Minecraft !!!!
Posted by: brettwiley - 04-01-2014, 12:08 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

Hey guys. I have put up a Minecraft server and need help getting the word out about it.
As the server grows I will need someone dedicated to being a Admin/Mod and will need more staff as time goes on.
You can earn a position by coming on and playing and being loyal to the server.

The server address is : 192.95.29.141:25708
Thank you. Smile

  Restore XFCE to default
Posted by: brettwiley - 04-01-2014, 12:03 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (9)

I want to restore XFCE back to default. I did this by deleting the XFCE folder in .config. I then logged out and back in and chose the default configuration. But then one of the panels are on the top and a launcher bar is at the bottom. How can i erase the bottom panel and move the one at top to the bottom.

OR

How can I install Mate on here. I have been a long time mate user.

Thanks!  Smile  ;D  8)

  [CLOSED]Software Update - Now Missing From Menu
Posted by: Wirezfree - 03-31-2014, 11:50 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

Hi,

When I 1st installed I'm sure there was the Software Update item in the Menu below run program..?
Actually looking at the on-line manual, that shows "Install Updates" & "Help Manual"
It seems to have disappeared.? I have "Web Browser" & "Mail Reader"

I have done no edits to menu, only changed clock to 24hr mode, and added date.
What did it point at(file) maybe I can re-create/add it back.?

UPDATE: #1
It appears(I think) that the "Names" (Descriptions) changed..??

The item that says "Mail Reader" is pointing at:

Code:
xdg-open /usr/share/doc/xfce4-utils/html/C/index.html
The item that says "Web Browser" is pointing at:
Code:
lxterminal --geometry=95x25 -e ./updates
Working Directory = /usr/scripts

So I could change the "Names" , But why did they change..??

UPDATE: #2
After another test, in Virtualbox, It appears changing Locale from US to GB causes the change

Thanks ... Dave
