Funny thing happened tonight. August 2nd 2018 after a restoring. from a bunch of errors in package manager after installing something in  Linux Lite 3.8 told me my system was never updated afterwards. I had updated Monday July 30th 2018 and used backup from that same day after update using system back thought it weired as never had a OS say such a thing in Windows or other wise.  May be a bug with 16.04 base? Anyway everything is there after a backup., and as far as I know 18.04 is buggy at moment so not moving over just yet if at all. We will see. Why would the system say that? New.

Hi folks,

I was searching for a lightweight package to give me desktop notifications but
then I noticed that all the necessary things are already in the LL installation,
I just needed a small wrapper script to make things easier.

The script is general purpose - it may be launched from basically any application
and I use it to send messages to the desktop in case the processor, graphics card
or hard-drives are close to their acceptable temperature maximum. Also, I use it
in similar kinds of error-related situations and even send me a "time to go to bed"
message, since I often forget it Smile

I don't know if you find this script useful, but here it is if you want to try it.
The installation is as simple as copying the script to some directory and that's
it basically - here are the detailed instructions for testing:

1. Copy the script to the clipboard, open an empty text file and paste it there.
    Save the file into your home directory and give it some name, for example "lite-remind"

2. Make the script executable:

Code:
chmod 755 ~/lite-remind

3. Create a a small text file, which has 3 short lines in it. The first line will be "Subject" of the
    message and the following two lines will be the message body - keep it short and simple.
    Save it as "msg.txt" into your home directory.

4. Try the script: Open the command line and command:
Code:
~/lite-remind information ~/msg.txt
5. You should see the desktop message appear to the screen for a couple of seconds.
6. Try again, but replace the word 'information' with the word 'warning' or 'error'

And here is the script: ( The ionice / nice parts from LL update notify script, thanks to [member=2]Jerry[/member] and the LL Team! )

Code:
#!/bin/bash # lite-remind v0.1 # A notification script for Linux Lite by kpanic, 2018 # Thanks to Linux Lite Team! # Reads a message file and shows it on the desktop for # a couple of seconds using notify-send(1). # # Call with two arguments: # @param1: 'information', 'warning' or 'error' # @param2: The location of the message file. # # Example: lite-remind warning /home/kpanic/message.txt # # The first line of the message file will be shown as # the subject of the message. The lines 2 and 3 will # be shown as the body of the message. The lines should # not exceed 28 characters. Keep it short! :) # # The first parameter (information, warning or error) # is the "type" of the message. This affects to which # icon will be shown with the message. It also affects # to the scheduling urgency. # # PID=$$ # Scheduling class (3 = Idle) SCLASS=3 NICE=/usr/bin/nice NICEVAL=19 REMIND=/usr/bin/notify-send ARGS="dialog-" # Verify, that the DISPLAY is set if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then     DISPLAY=:0     export DISPLAY fi # exit quietly if not enough arguments, # since this script may be launched by cron. if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then     exit 0 fi if [ ! -r "$2" ]; then     HEADER="Missing file"     MSG="Can not read the message file!" else     HEADER=$(head -n1 "$2"|cut -c -28)     MSG=$(head -n3 "$2"|tail -2|cut -c -28) fi case "$1" in       information)       ;;       warning)           SCLASS=2     PRIO="-n 7"     NICEVAL=8         ;;         error)     SCLASS=2     PRIO="-n 4"     NICEVAL=0         ;;             *)         exit 0         ;; esac ionice -c $SCLASS $PRIO -p $PID $NICE  -n $NICEVAL \       $REMIND -u normal -c im "$HEADER" "$MSG" -i $ARGS$1 exit 0

Hello
I am trying to launch an application from a shell script (was provided with the app) and it works flawlessly
When I tried to add this as a launcher in MenuLibre, it won't launch and won't say anything..

I'm guessing it's related to the user or group but I'm not sure..
The app is AwesomeBump

The script content is:

Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=`pwd` ./AwesomeBump

And 'AwesomeBump' is a binary that actually runs the program..

Hi, ditched windows three years ago after savage windows 10 upgrade and never looked back.  I am no computer wiz but do have higher than average computer skills. 

Have been Distro hopping allot on my junk system, really like Deepin, Debian, Lubuntu, Peppermint, Parrot, Shark, Puppy and Xubuntu to name a few.  Mint been my go-to Distro and favourite and still the OS on my wife's laptop. Still have Mint Xfce 19 as my main OS on my mucking about junk system.

Made the change to Lite few weeks ago on my old workstation which is my main computer.  Quite impress with Lite, so far zero issues, everything gone textbook.  To take my main system away from Mint as the OS ..... well so far Lite been the only one that has done it, can not afford to muck about on my main system as I run my Business on it.

Look forward to reading posts and maybe I might be able to help with issues.

Phil

                I have an  amd64 with an athlon x2 processor  . my understanding is that it has a 32 bit network card so when I install Linux lite 4 every thing works but the net dose not make a connection

when I install the 32 bit version 3.8 Linux lite every thing works and the net work connection as well

            Is their any thing I can do to get Linux lite 4 to work with a 32 bit network card ?

Hi,

I'm writing a small desktop plugin app for LL and I have a question for LL 3.6 and 3.8 users.
(I guess there is no 3.7 version...)

If you are using either version, can you please run the terminal command:

Code:
cat /etc/lsb-release
and post the output here? Thank you in advance!
