I have found what looks like a good alternative to Klavaro (Klavaro is package that is available through synaptic package manager HOWEVER Klavaro currently has a bug and doesn’t open) so I found TIPP10.

I am new to LL, running 3.4 and very happy with it. I’m looking for a touch typing program so that the youth who use these older computers with LL 3.4 can learn how to type to prepare themselves for University whereby knowing how to type properly will save them time.

I found a Linux compatible program and here is the link explaining how to add it.  I have some questions that I’m hoping someone can answer as I’d like to try adding it to one of the computers this weekend and if successful will add it to others.

This is the link that discusses installation:
https://www.tipp10.com/doc/html/en/conte...html#linux

QUESTIONS:
1) the pertinent section is 3.4 on the page however I’m unsure if I am able to do installation via package manager or if I must do it manually.  Unfortunately the two links it provides for installation instructions take me to a German site.
Installation with package manager speaks of Ubuntu and (K)ubuntu - dumb question I know, but is LL 3.4 Ubuntu? Will I be able to use the instructions it shows there using package manager?

2) IF I have to go manually do I simply follow the instructions for manual installation or is there anything more specific I need to know to do?

I will experiment on one computer and if I run into trouble I will revert to an earlier “systemback point”!

Original versions with a 'pointy' letter 'N' (Forum logo):

if you are using a site that uses the kannanda font (such as https://www.news18.com/world/) you will need to install the package
language-pack-kn but close any browsers first and reopen them in case your pc crashes during the update

Hi,
Sometimes the login thru the lightdm fails. That means I log but the screen freezes and nothing happens, no login no desktop ( using the xfce4).
When I go to the terminal ( using  CTRL+ALT+F1 ), and I log using shell,  I can start the : startx -- :1,  and access to the graphical Desktop..
Where is the problem?  in lightdm or xfce4 ??
I install lxde  and want to log with lxde,  unfortunatly, there is no menu  in the lighdm login,  to choose the manager.
regards

Hi all,


I've spent few weeks working on giving back to the Lite community an application that has been asked for over and over again; Lite Control Center. So that you can once again enjoy from the Lite Control Center if you’re within those who missed it for so long.

Installing Lite Control Center from UnlockForUs Repository


It is also possible to install Lite Control Center without using the UnlockMe app. Just copy and paste the following commands in a Terminal:

The revamped application should be fully functional in Linux Lite 3.x up to 3.8, for both, 32 and 64 Bit versions.  There are some new features (and others to come) that makes from the revived Lite Control Center a cool new version.

For more details, including installation instructions, see: https://unlockforus.com/linux-lite-control-center/ 

Please not that this is not an officially distributed Linux Lite application anymore but I will maintain it to the best of my abilities as time allows.


Enjoy your beloved Lite Control Center!


Cheers!

Heya!


Was home today so I played around with the graphics software Krita.
After today, I can confirm that Krita is infinitely more awesome than Gimp for use friendliness and capacity and about the same size.
If you played around with any graphics products a bit, you'll feel at home in no time. Its available in AppImage or PPS though.


I took some of my old pictures to play around and came up with this loading screen (the diamond spins btw ) :



Comments or flame are welcome!  8)

I been running rgw nightly build on my phone and almost decide  to figure out how to intall it on my desktop. It more realistic and reliable then chronuim . I know I know this an LTS distro but sometimes beta works better then stable.

God not dead. He roaring like an lion.

why does aptitude safe-update recommend gnome-system-monitor and mate-system-monitor ?

xfce monitors are fine for me

Hi everyone,


I'd like to share a collection of scripts I've put together to extend Lite's goodness; UnlockMe@github.


Brave souls willing to take it for a spin in Linux Lite are welcome to provide feedback, request 3rd party application additions to the Application Software section, add your own fixes or code improvements, etc.


UnlockMe app functionality will be certainly familiar to Linux Lite users.


What's included:


- An array of tweaks to further improve your system or simply provide an easy UI to tune core system settings and additional cleanup options.





- Additional checks are in place to prevent installation/uninstallation failures while other Package Managers are executing tasks in your system.
  UnlockMe won't blindly kill a Package Manager process; it will ask the user for confirmation instead. That includes terminal processes (such as apt-get update or apt-get upgrade).





- Applications are removed from the system leaving as little leftovers behind as possible.
  3rd party PPAs are removed during uninstallation
  3rd party repos and keys  are removed during uninstallation
  Desktop shortcuts for All Users are removed when uninstalling applications whenever possible. (with plans to also remove Plank launchers on removal)
  In the case of Web browsers, cache is also cleaned out during uninstall.
- Customization - options to download and install themes, icon themes and cursors themes.





- Options to remove browser's profile
- Overall code optimizations for faster executions - The Application Software section can read and display the list of installed and available applications at least twice as fast as Lite Software and it won't tax your system's resources as much as the list grows larger.





... and much more!


You can install or update UnlockMe, simply by running the following command from Terminal (all in one line):
