Lite Control Center - Suggestions welcomed

[newtusmaximus]

 Latest version ( tonight) Seems to be running OK on my old Toshiba sat Pro A10. System report consistent   Great help to newbies IMHO.  Thanks to all the "Team".

When LL CC was first introduced, my memory showed 8GB
After first update, memory showed 7.7GB
Now memory shows 7890 MB

The way in which we have dealt with showing the total memory is the best option out of all the methods we have tried. This method is consistent across all hardware types, which in the end, is what we have to be, consistent. This includes pc's with mixed amounts of memory, eg. 512mb, 1.5gb, 2gb+

Still having the issue of the Help link being the only one to open using my default browser of Chromium.  The others open in Chrome.

Good news to report:  The LL CC window doesn't gray out anymore when opening those links.

Can you run lite-controlcenter from the terminal, click what you usually click to reproduce that issue. Then close Lite CC and paste the output from the terminal to your next post. Thanks.

- Memory now showing in MB (megabytes) GB proving to be a pita

Yupp. Shows me 3671 mb. Just like htop ^.^

Greying out doesn't happen anymore either.

Before the update, the Linux Lite Control Center showed my actual memory of 8GB.  It now shows 7.7GB.

By the way, this is the screenshot I got when using the Imgur link from the Linux Lite Control Center.

Your Graphics card could be taking some memory
The blank screen should be fixed after my last commit. Browsers now run in a subprocess.

Thanks!

Maybe some bug: first start is OK, but after Exit and start again lite-controlcenter 0050 start fail.



Update: now 0050 works again, I am dont understand about this issue. )) Sorry!

Update 2: 0050 dont start if 4G modem connection is disabled! If 4G connection is enabled all OK!

That's still an issue. When a device is disconected CC will not start.

Issue I reported still exists.  The first link (the Help link) opens with my default browser, Chromium.  The second link (the Forum link) before opening gave a popup window allowing me to select my browser of choice.  I chose Chromium and the window still opened with Chrome.  The Linux Lite Control Center window would gray out until I closed the opened Chrome window.  The same result occurs with each subsequent link.

Have you set a default web browser yet? If not, use Lite Tweaks to do this.

torreydale. glin22, thank you for your feedback.

In fact, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone to date for their feedback. We have a lot yet to fix, and the more eyes we have on it, the merrier

@glin22 the software section is consistent with similar layouts throughout Linux Lite for an example look in the "Settings Manager"  it reads from left to right like english.

Hi,

I installed the Lite Control Center and was getting screen refresh issues, like going into the User manager from the Control Center and then trying to move that window around, the stuff underneath wasn't refreshing correctly.

Also, going into the software section of your Control Center, under "Guide" I see 5 things but down below there are 6 things which seem out of order, that might be confusing for new users.

Anyway, just wanted to provide some feedback.

The Help link opens using my default browser, Chromium.  The others (Forum, Website, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Screenshot, and Report) open using Chrome.  Also for those links that open with Chrome, the Lite Control Center goes gray (except for the title bar) until I close the Chrome window opened by the link.
