A couple of days I'm looking for some software to run on LL for managing my Garmin etrex20.

Today I stumbled on Viking. Specs and screenshots look good.
After downloading the package and running the install commands as provided, my system tells me that

Code:
checking for intltool >= 0.35.0...  found configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
But HOW to update this tool, it doesn't tell me

any suggestions ?

Hello,

adjusted Lotto killas so it works for the UK Thunderball draw.

Screenshot of Thunderball number maker running on Linux Lite in terminal and its code in Gedit.
This will pick your 5 number choices from the 39, and then pick your 1 Thunderball number from the 14 numbers.
It will also give you real life choices to make (interactive)

Here is the code -

Code:
from random import * thunderchoices = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39] thunderball = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14] # Picks 5 numbers from the choices x = sample(thunderchoices, 5) # Picks your thunderball y = sample(thunderball, 1)  print x print y print ("You have Options - " "\nDonate a percentage of any wins to your favorite project" "\nDonate the stake instead to your favorite project")

Copy/paste in to Leafpad document in Home folder and save as thunder.py


Hold down Ctrl and Alt then press t (Ctrl+Alt+t)

  Linux Lite 4.0

The new version of Linux Lite is due out soon. It is based on Ubuntu 18.04 and uses the Xfce desktop manager. I regularly read posts from https://www.dedoimedo.com/, which I find very informative. Recently he has been looking at Ubuntu 18.04 and various distros which are using it. The most recent is about the latest version of Xubuntu, which uses Xfce as the desktop manager. I think that people on this list would find his comments interesting. Especially the developers.

Just a suggestion.

I may be posting in the wrong thread, but, Lite got me away from windows.  I tried Ubuntu 10.04 years ago, it worked, but, as a 50 something, why bother?  My next was Lite 2.0.  Dell desktop from 2004, Not 1 problem. Currently a dell laptop from 2.0 till 3.8. Amazing work by these folks. Dell 1545, I have tried over 20 distros and all have nagging issues from 1st install.  Lie, Never. Thanks for your efforts.  BTW, I have 4.0 beta on a seperate HDD, no issues as of yet. Not real fond of the themeing, but I have already adapted it to my own with, again, no issues.  3 years on linux, in spite of my experimenting, it has NEVER crashed or failed to boot on a laptop from 2009.  64 year old guy here.  Electronics tech since the tube days. Again, Thanks.  Dell 1545, 4gbs ram, t9600 CPU. It had 3 Gbs and a t4200 CPU.

  Installing 4.0 (On Wife's Computer)

Forum: Installing Linux Lite

I will be installing LL 4.0 as soon as it comes out on my computer, and then on my wife's. I anticipate no trouble with my old Gateway GT5656, I already have 3.8 on it with Windows 7, no problems. I want to make sure I don't mess her laptop up. It's a Dell Inspiron N7010. I'm almost positive it uses BIOS rather than UEFI; I can find nothing about UEFI anywhere in support documentation. So, it should go in as smoothly as mine did. One difference with hers is that the install disc is from Dell. (I had to reinstall Windows 7 awhile back, called Dell as I had no disc, and they airmailed it to me in 2 days!). It has a Dell boot screen, versus the Windows 7 one, with those wavy viney things (what was that anyway?).

Should I be on the lookout for anything unusual, since it installed from a Dell disc? I sure don't want to mess up her laptop. I've been talking up Linux for a few years now, and if I blow this, I'll never live it down.

Thanks,

Mike
