Lite Control Center - Suggestions welcomed

[torreydale]

@misko_2083,

I did that, and now each link opens in Google Chrome.  But my default browser is Chromium.

@Zead thanks for the feedback - https://www.linuxliteos.com/feedback.html very kind of you

No problem... I hope there weren't many errors in my english.

Did you see the post I made about kernels? (In Linux Lite 2.6 Suggestions thread).

@misko_2083,

My output is:
text/html=chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop;

OK that means chromium is set as a default application for html files.

Run:

Code: [Select]

gksudo leafpad /etc/gnome/defaults.listand replace next line,

Code: [Select]

text/html=chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop;with this:

Code: [Select]

text/html=google-chrome.desktop;firefox.desktop;Save it and close text editor. Start the control center and please let us know how it goes.
Cheers

Also inaccurate Sound Card info It doesn't show the model, only name.

torreydale, but why report vendor only? Glitch? Some programs report my GPU as Gallium 0.5 on R515 blah blah something like that.

When's a word about GPUs... Why Windows reported my GPU has 256 MB, and GNU/Linux says 128MB? (Windows sometimes said 128MB, but mainly 256 almost all the time)... With proprietary drivers... Some Websites claim X2300 has 256MB, some says 128MB... Confused, guess I should trust Linux in this.

Btw great work on the Control Center, the info about the computer on the main page is very useful.

I really like the main page information in the control center. The only problem I have is that it says "GPU: Advanced Micro Devices", instead of my actual GPU. But I believe this will be resolved.

Sound Card only says: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller
Instead of an actual model.

I really like Linux Lite, other distros claim to be user friendly, but I feel like Linux Lite is doing it the best way. Control Center, easy SAMBA sharing settings, great manual, Lite Tweaks, + some other stuff.

https://github.com/linuxlite/litecontrolcenter/issues/29 Opened issue, and submited PR to fix. We'll test some before merging into release. I'll try to post here if I remember lol.

[shaggytwodope]

OK. For what?

The guy who made the control center.. I'll fix this if I can :-p

[torreydale]

This is why.  Your system report does show that you have an AMD graphics card:

Can you share a system report (in the menu like so, Menu>System>Create System Report) Either attaching here or emailing to me be fine.

@misko_2083,

My output is:

When clicking on the Help link, it does open file:///usr/share/doc/litemanual/index.html via Chromium, my default browser.  The others open via Chrome.

Interesting... What is the output of the next line?

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/gnome/defaults.list | grep "text/html"Maybe Chromium is set to open html files. If so, editing /etc/gnome/defaults.list should be easy.

[torreydale]

It opens the help manual in Chromium.  I don't recall if it was a local copy or if it was the Internet copy.  I'm not at my pc right now.  The rest open in Chrome.
