On making threads: Using the toolbar(or hotkeys).

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! :55:

I've been noticing that people don't seem to be using the WYSIWYG editor's toolbar when creating/opening a new thread, and more often than not, their posts include text in some particular format, i.e. output from a terminal's command. But they do so by copying/pasting the text in plain without using the appropriate tag, which might make difficult for other users to read, more so if it is a long text.

The toolbar serves as a "shortcut" for these; just hit/click the corresponding icon/button to apply the desired tag to use.

For example, if bold text is to be used, click/hit the B icon/button, alternatively, press Ctrl + b which has the same result.

[Image: gqgpHff.png]

Likewise, I or pressing Ctrl + i will make the text italicized, Ctrl + u for underscore or click the U, the next button is for Strikethrough(hotkey is Ctrl + s, but most browsers use the same for Save as).

The next icons/buttons are for text alignment; preformatted text, left, center and right respectively.

[Image: hOYZk3L.png]

Then we have the menu for fonts; font type(Font Face), Font Size and Change(font)Color, these are drop-down menus, just click in the "arrow head" to expand, and select one of the options to apply.

[Image: E7DwjoX.png]

The next section can be very helpful, as they allow performing several actions in your posts, you can check what each one does by hovering the mouse over them.

[Image: HL8CI0M.png]

From left to right:
Insert: image, hyperlink, email, ftp link, glow, shadow, marquee, superscript, subscript, teletype, table, code, quote, unordered list, ordered list, rule, remove formatting and finally toggle view.

So, for example, if you plan to include some output from terminal, hit the insert code icon/button, these [ code ] [ /code ] will appear, just paste the output between the two, hit preview or post, and your code looks good

Code:
sudo apt update

Instead of just sudo apt update. Emojis are self-explanatory.

Well, I hope this helps and encourages people to use the editor's toolbar or the hotkeys when available in their writings, and by doing so they'll be helping us to helping them; the better their thread/post reads, the better our understanding of the situation their post/thread is about. Smile

I installed wine and winetricks and proceeded with winecfg.
From the terminal, i executed with following line: winetricks vcrun2013 vcrun2015 corefonts wininet winhttp

In the process of installation i get:
You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.

Next i did:
cd Downloads

and executed:

wine MTGAInstaller.exe

After the input of my country and pressing the Next-Button, this message shows up:

Install Failed
MTGA Launcher kann unter den folgenden
Windows-Versionen nicht installiert werden:
Windows XP SP2 x64, Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64,
Windows Vista x64, Windows Server 2008 x64.

System: 5.2 and 20.04, 64-bit

Thank you very much

Installed to USB stick, unable to boot, boot loader not found (Linux Lite 5.4)

Hi,

I'm trying to install Linux Lite 5.4 to a 32GB USB stick. After installation with no error on a laptop with dual boot Window & Linux MInt 20, I cannot boot into the USB stick on the laptop.
Not only that, I cannot boot into the Linux Mint on the hard drive as well.

Then I booted into Boot-Repair Live USB and successfully repaired the hard drive booting and able to boot into Linux Mint.
I run Boot-Info to capture the log of the boot info of the hard drive.
After that, I inserted the USB Linux Lite and run the Boot-Info to capture the boot info of the USB. The installation wasn't able to install the proper boot loader into the USB.

I followed the steps in this tutorial (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor...eady-yet!/),
and specifically paid attention to setting the "Device for boot loader installation" to /dev/sdc/.

I repeated the same process with Xubuntu 20.04 LTS and ended up with the same problem.

Is there a way to manually copied the boot loader into the USB and configure the Grub to load all the necessary files to boot from the USB directly?
In that way, I can use the USB Linux Lite on any computer that allowed booting from USB.

Sprintrdriver commented on the tutotial to physically disconnect the internal hard drive before the installation. But I don't want to mess around with the hardware of this laptop.

I attached here the boot-info I capture:
1-Boot-Info_20210609_1901-Repated-Mint-Aft-LL-Installed.txt (After Boot-Repair and booted into Linux Mint on hard drive).
2-Boot-Info_20210610_1132-Booted-Mint-USB-Linux-Lite.txt (booted into Linux Mint and inserted the USB Linux Lite).

More trouble installing Wine

Hello Everyone,

I am hoping to eventually install Zello on my computer. In order for this program to work, it requires Wine. I tried following the instructions for installing Wine by:

dpkg --print-architecture
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/focal main'
Received error message: " E: Malformed entry 55 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read."
Opened Menu->System->Package Manager
Enter Password and Press Authenticate
Received error message: "E: Malformed entry 55 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list (Component)
E: The list of sources could not be read.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report."
Pressed "Close" button
Reported all of this to you

Given all this, how may I finally install Wine? What woudl you recommend I do about the error messages. I have already tried using cat /etc/apt/sources.list. It produces:
"# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted

# deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted

Unfortunately, I am novice enough to be clueless about what this tells me. Perhaps it offers you some clue. Thank you for reading this post. I very much look forward to having Wine (whatever version you recommend) and Zello up and working on this computer. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

iwd: wireless daemon for Linux

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile

I recently learned about this new tool to control, configure, manage and use wireless networks.

Quote:iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) project aims to provide a comprehensive Wi-Fi connectivity solution for Linux based devices. The core goal of the project is to optimize resource utilization: storage, runtime memory and link-time costs. This is accomplished by not depending on any external libraries and utilizes features provided by the Linux Kernel to the maximum extent possible. The result is a self-contained environment that only depends on the Linux Kernel and the runtime C library.

I installed it and must say it's working really great; my Wi-Fi seems to be more stable, keeping a constant speed. To install just launch a terminal and run

Code:
sudo apt-get install iwd

then follow instructions from Debian's wiki https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager/iwd
Also, you might want to read here too:

Installing updates today totally messes up panel, U last updated around 5/31. My old panel used to have a menu, 5 icons including Firefox and terminal. On the right were a choice of 2 desktops to use. Also a speaker icon with a digital clock. The panel was solid black in color and filled the entire horizontal position. I had it set to auto hide, but now does not. Now I have no background and only a menu icon without the customary 5 icons. There are 5 speaker icons and 2 whisker menu icons, I only added 1 because I wanted a panel shortcut for Firefox. Yet Icons have some transparency even though I have opacity at 100%

Hello a Returnee user here (coz imma user of this distro once before i jumped to other distros). Well This distro is my first daily driver after i jumped from windows and it rocks! Low resource consumption, eye pleasing custom XFCE Desktop Environment, and awesome tools that make this distro amazing. Well though i tried so many distros, like mint , which is one of the most popular beginner friendly distros due to its windows like appearance but it feels something heavy and less intuitive (Cinnamon is buggy and heavy as expected, Mate is comparable to LL but quite heavier, its XFCE edition is sucks), POP!_OS is also good for a Computer Science student like me but its GNOME DE makes me feel pulling me back (and heavier of Course, though its plus point is their auto-tiling feature) and Fedora. But it ultimately returns me back to this distro.

To the one/ones who created and maintai this Distron, You have done a great Distro and i hope this distro will become more popular to the new and experienced users. And if i can ill try to contribute to this project through coding. Smile . God bless ya dude/dudes
