Hi I followed the instructions to install Citrix on my Linux.  I think I did everything correctly (but probably not).
When I then search of Citrix nothing comes up in the search area.
As I am used to Microsoft and Apple I am almost certainly doing something wrong.
I am also trying to install Skype with the same result  :-[

Hi, I'm not sure where this post belongs, but since it has to do with installing software using WINE I thought I'd post it here.

I've been running SharpDevelop on Windows computers. Recently I've converted over to Linux Lite OS which runs much faster on my notebook computers.

I've been able to install several Windows programs on the Linux system using WINE. What I have install thus far were Electronic Schematic and PCB board layout programs. Those Windows programs installed on Linux and run just like they did in Windows. So WINE is impressive. Now I can use all my old drawings and parts libraries on my Linux Notebooks.

I was hoping to do the same thing with SharpDevelop studio. I have programs I wrote in C# and I would like to be able to continue developing them on Linux using the same IDE studio.

I'm having problems getting it to run after installation.

What I've done:
1. Installed .NET 4.0 (using WINE)
2. Installed Visual C++ 2008 SPI (using WINE)
3. Installed SharpDevelop from a Sourceforge download.

As an additional note. I actually tried to Install SharpDevelop first but WINE required that I install the other two packages first. So WINE at least recognized that these packages are required. After installing the .NET 4.0 Framework and the Visual C++ 2008 SPI, WINE then completed the installation of SharpDevelop and left a desktop icon to launch it.

However, when I try to launch it I get the following error msg from Linux:

SHAR~5MM.EXE - Configuration Parser Error
Error Parsing C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config
Parser returned error 0x80004001

After clicking OK to that error msg box SharpDevelop also gives me the following more detailed error message:

The quick new Firefox jumps over the big lazy memory dog!


Heya!

Throwing the ball here since I don't want to hijack the LL4.0 suggestions thread.
I didn't have time with Linux with the crapload of Windows ramson viruses "victims" lately, but I notice that, at least on Windows, Firefox Quantum (version 57+) takes a lot of RAM. FireFox ESR 52.6 (latest) takes around 170MB RAM and Firefox 58.0.2 (latest) is at a whopping 305MB for the same 6 pages/tabs.


Yes its faster though and from Firefox's own website Quantum still uses 30% less RAM than Google Chrome (but I have not tested it myself).


I think that for Linux Lite Version 4.0, maybe the main browser could be in the ballot?
Of course, keeping it in the "known" browsers available for Windows/Linux. Benchmark/comparison of FireFox/Google Chrome yes, but maybe Chromium/Opera too?



According to Statcounter (see link below), Chrome is at 65.98%, Firefox 11.87% and Opera 2.35%. Apart from M$ and Apple, ALL others share the remaining 2.54% :-O

I'm not taking sides, but since I like Linux, I usually go for the underdogs myself.


Get ready....  FIGHT!

Hi.

I have some files that is very critical for me (bank accounts, passwords, etc) that I cannot effort to loose, or that get in hands of a thief if the laptop gets stolen.

So I decided to create a second user profile on the same laptop, where the home folder is encrypted and the password is a really lenghty one. So that all the most critical files is now stored in that secure users home folder.

The problem I hit now is when I tries to make backup using rsync. The backup destination is on a Veracrypt volum (supposed to). But I have run into a brick wall now.
- The user don't have permission to use Veracrypt to mount.
- If I use the other user profile (admin) to mount veracrypt, it  turnes out that the user doesn't have access to the mounted volume (mounted to a folder) - even if the user have permissions to the parent folder. Tried to set permission for the mounted folder so anyone can access+write, but to no help. The result is that rsync just returns an error because lack of permission.
- The file system into the Veracrypt volume is FAT so it shouldn't hold file permission.
- Tried to use su command to shift from admin user to new user, but the permission issue stay the same.

Temporary workaround:
Just copy all files into a partition that has no restrictions - and from there make a rsync backup using admin account. But this serves a security issue because I have les control what happens if files gets deleted and if possible to restore (for unauthorized).

So the question is - is it possible to add the new user to a group so that it can have access to mount and dismount?

Just a short time ago the LL kernel updated to 4.4.0-113 #136. After the installation & reboot I ran Jerry's spectre-meltdown-checker.sh in terminal. For my computer (An HP Compaq 7900 with an Intel Core 2 vPro CPU) all 3 variants came back as 'not vulnerable'. A tip of the hat to Linux. If anyone else feels like it please post what this kernel update did for you, if anything. Thanks to all.

Is there a way to change or modify the bright yellow screen? I don't know if that's the Start or Splash screen, but the light is too much for my photosensitive eyes. It's ok in the daytime, but at night I become like a cat, and need things darker.  I have looked around in Settings, but couldn't see a way to do this. This is actually my only complaint with Linux Lite. If there's no way to change it, I'll just shade my eyes, like I've been doing. I've installed f.lux, but that only kicks in after the system is started.

Thanks, Mike

My first dumb question: When making selections in Settings, I am confused about how to do this. It's those little squares you have to click on/in. Which is on and which is off? When it looks slightly raised, or when it looks depressed? I want to be sure, so I don't go messing things up too much. And BTW, is there a way to return everything to Default Settings?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice llife!

I''ve been playing around with a LL 3.8 VM I created. One thing I've been doing is to try different gtk themes as well as icon themes. I found this theme https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1012523/ and kind of like it, really nice-cool looking theme. However, there are a few things I don't like; some buttons are too big as shown in the image bellow



That's a screen capture I took from LL VM running in QEMU, as you notice action buttons are way too big, I tried editing the index file but that just made things worst  :.

Other than that - which it's not something you can just ignore as well as annoying I admit - icons are well designed and look really good. Take a look






And in case you wonder the icon set doesn't seem to slow down XFCE user interface interaction or LL at all.  If any of you guys have any idea how to change/fix that if even possible to do such thing, please let me know.

LL scores 7/8 not bad for our target audience that we either offer ootb or via Lite Software those softwares
