Greetings!  Relatively new user to Linux, I worked with Mint for a year but when my hard drive hosed I decided to give Linux Lite a try and I must say I am very impressed.  So far everything is working well but I have one minor annoyance which disturbs an anal-retentive individual such as myself.  After installing everything I did when I normally did when installing Linux Mint and other distros, I installed Libre Office forgetting the Linux Lite had it.

To my surprise, when I click on Menu->Office I see TWO listings for Word Processor, SpreadSheet and Presentation.  Everything works superbly but this is just a minor annoyance.  I see that I can HIDE the icons but my concern is that if I tell it to hide one of the
Word Processor listings....both will do so.

Any suggestions?  Thanks for reading.

Hi!
I like very much the Update notifier!
Problem is the "Install Updates" option, is disabled (grayed). Why is that so?

The program/script  /usr/bin/lite-updates works fine for me (I put it on a button) so as I see, all it takes is to put the command on the menu item.
What could possibly happen if this would be enabled?
Worst case scenario is it does nothing.
Thanks in advance!

[Later edit, problem [SOLVED], 23-Jul-2020]
Problem consisted in a bad predefined binary for updates installer.
After installation, we need to:

1. Left click the tray icon;
   
2. Click the "Preferences..." menu item;
   
3. In the dialog, insert the following command: [b]
   

Tras instalar Linux Lite en mi portátil no dispongo de conexión a internet por WIFI. La contraseña está correctamente guardada ya que se solicitó durante la instalación pero el pc no se conecta a internet. Utilizo un conector USB TP Link TL-Wn725n y tampoco se conecta. He probado con el dispositivo USB y también sin él y no hay solución. Solicito su ayuda por favor.

I have just installed Lite 5.0 (a clean install) on a new build PC using old parts and it seems to be running rather slow, for example if I shut down Firefox and click on Menu, it can take up to 10 sec for the menu to open. It is as if Linux is using the hard disk to shift data instead of RAM.

When I use the drives icon and try to open the hard disk I get an error "Can't mount file". Is this normal? When using the Disks app to look at the hard disk partitions there is a FAT32 partition there even though I used the option to erase the disk at install.

I'm afraid I am finding Linux very strange after being a Windows user for a long time and my experience with the command line is very limited so please be gentle with me. BTW, I have searched the forum for answer to this stuff with no luck, but that could be because I don't understand the replies to the posts!

Hi all, I am trying Linux for the first time after being a Windows user for many years and I am finding it a bit of a culture shock!
I have built and upgraded quite a few PCs over the years and the PC I am using for Linux I made from parts from past upgrades as I have been led to believe that Linux Lite will work ok on older machines. I need some advice, but I will post on the main forum.

While installing a .deb package with Gdebi, i get the following message..[dependency is not satisfiable libssl1.0.0(>=1.0.0)]. How can this be resolved?I am running latest 5.0 version and libssl version is 1.1.1.Kindly consider the fact  that I am a non-techie and not so command line savvy...though I am not entirely new to linux. I am running this from a 64GB USB 2 Flash drive..full installation. Thanks

please i would like to know how to stop changing time in windows 7? I am using dual boot

Abro este hilo para reflejar mis dudas acumuladas al cabo de los dias y que sigo sin saber solucionar; como son varias las he agrupado en este post para no ocupar demasiado espacio.

Tema Salvapantallas
No es que sea una necesidad acuciante pero una y otra vez cuando tengo que ausentarme del Computador veo que a la vuelta sigue la misma imagen en la pantalla, y me pregunto: como activar el Salvapantallas y que funcione?.
Lo he intentado con las herrramientas del Menú, pero no doy con el truco.¿Alguien me puede encaminar a la solucion?. Se lo agradeceré y los pixeles de la pantalla tambien.

Tema Ipv6
Ya llevo tiempo utilizando la formula de desactivar el Protocolo IPv6 (que de momento veo innecesario) y que al usar una VPN es recomendable su anulacion; hasta aqui bien ....pero una vez hecho esto y cuando tengo la necesidad de suspender la sesion por algun motivo, me encuentro a la vuelta que lo que habia desactivado a traves de la Terminal (sudo sysctl -p) está otra vez ACTIVADO!!. Es esto el comportamiento normal? es que no hay forma de hacerlo permanente?....por lo menos hasta que quiera yo revertir la situacion?. Ahi lo dejo  y a ver que me comentan los Linuxliteos!

Tema chkrootkit
Hace algun tiempo me interesé por descubrir alguna herramienta que me escanéara el sistema por si habia tropezado con algun bichito de los que te hacen la puñeta.  Y encontre chkrootkit y la verdad me parecio intresante y la instalé a traves del Terminal. Hasta aqui todo bien ....escanea el sistema y te da un informe a traves de Terminal de lo que ha encontrado; afortunadamente hasta el dia de hoy en mi caso, no ha encontrado nada y yo tan feliz. Pero ya me ha surgido la pregunta ¿ y si encuentra algo....como lo localizo lo borro o lo elimino?....todo la info que recibo es a trves del terminal pero no se como tratarla en caso de aparecer algo. No tiene herramientas de borrado ni cuarentena ...entonces que hago??
Con la cara de interrogacion os dejo estas preguntas que un novato como yo no termina de aclarar....espero que esta comunidad me ayude a ello ( los hay muy sesudos!!).
Un saludo y a cuidarse. Espero noticias!!

Hi, I have Linux-Lite 5.0 and downloaded Webcam Booth from the Lite Software source. The Webcam Booth (Cheese) takes pics and videos well, but there is no audio in the videos. When I open the video file, it opens with VLC media player. I made sure in VLC tools that audio was enabled. What could be the problem? I have a built in webcam on my pc. I know my mic works, because in the audio mixer, I can see the blue line moving when I speak in the microphone setting.
