Linux Lite 4.6.
I went to control panel and adjusted the theme I wanted and adjusted the Icon size on my desktop. This worked as expected.
However, the Icons in my files ( document,photos,etc) are too large in NORMAL. I have to ZOOM OUT in order to size them the way I want.
The help manual does not show how to adjust these Icons.
Is there a way to reduce the Icon size in the NORMAL setting when my files are opened?

Just updated my LL 4.6 and rebooted. I was given an error message saying my secondary (spinning, about a year old) drive is about to fail. Maybe it is, or maybe it's something having to do with the update. Has anybody else had something like this happen? I continued the reboot and the drive appears to be working fine, which is meaningless if there's actually some sort of real failure involved. I just don't know how accurate the warning message is, I guess.

For those that have LightScribe DVD writers, the following should work.
FYI - this is a combination of many tutorials that I have poured over for hours to get to this point and to make everything work as it should, with a lot of customization.

Code:
wget https://www.linuxliteos.com/files/lightscribe/4l_1.0-r6_i386.deb wget https://www.linuxliteos.com/files/lightscribe/lightscribe-1.18.27.10-linux-2.6-intel.deb wget https://www.linuxliteos.com/files/lightscribe/lightscribeApplications-1.18.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.deb

Code:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb sudo apt-get install -f

Now to check if everything went to plan, you should get a readout from:

Code:
4L-cli enumerate

similar to:

Code:
Using /etc/lightscribe.rc Drive path: /dev/sr0 Usable: 1 Full name: hp DVD-RAM GH60L RD01 217 Model: DVD-RAM GH60L  Manufacturer: hp      Capabilities: monochrome Drive inner radius: 21000 Drive outer radius: 58700

Then look in, Menu, Multimedia, Lightscribe Labeler.

I just downloaded Linux Lite 4.6 ( 4.15.0-72 X86_64 )and was reloading software for use.
I have downloaded several programs without an issue.
I then selected and downloaded WEATHER MONITOR and it completed the download.
Now, I cannot find it anywhere. Under MENU and a search, nothing shows up,just the L/L Feather icon when I type the program.
The software is under "REMOVE" but I cannot find it to open and run the software.
Please help.

Hi there!
I've already seen this question posted, but couldn't find a solution to work for me. Please keep in mind that I'm new with Linux and don't know much about it. Smile
So, I installed Linux Lite, I already set up the partitions, but I can't figure how to mount them.
My fdisk -l results are as follows:

Disk /dev/sda: 465,8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x53e74323

Device    Boot    Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *        2048 146485247 146483200  69,9G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2      146487294 976771071 830283778 395,9G  5 Extended
/dev/sda5      146487296 732422143 585934848 279,4G 83 Linux
/dev/sda6      732424192 771483647  39059456  18,6G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda7      771485696 976771071 205285376  97,9G 83 Linux

Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

In continuing to try and learn more about how the LL file system (and linux generally) is organized, could someone tell me where the downloaded *.deb packages are stored, as well as the linux kernel packages, on the LL file system, in my case LL3.8 ?

Many thanks for any help with this

Hello,


I am using LinuxLite 4.4 64 bits and Falkon 3.0.1.
I saw Faklon 3.1 is now available ont the falkon.org site.
But using Synaptic, only Falkon 3.0.0 is listed.
I also try to install Falkon Appimage 3.0.1 but it doesn't work (other users have the same problem using Debian or Ubuntu distros).


How to solve this problem ?


Thanks in advance for your ideas and help.
