  Firefox 57 release
Posted by: Coastie - 11-14-2017, 07:52 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (10)

Any ideas of when Firefox 57 will be available by Lite Install Updates or Synaptic?

(10-08-2017, 12:40 AM)Coastie link Wrote: I tried Sea Monkey but little improvement over Firefox. Since I already had repo in Synaptic from installing Firefox. I gave the Mozilla Build of Firefox a try and uninstalled the Ubuntu add on which not enabled. Maybe a little improvement. I decided to stop wasting time trying different browser. I guess I was doing it over loyalty or nostalgia to Mozilla and Netscape. I am getting use to Chrome and it just works. Maybe when the new improved Firefox 57 Quantum on Nov 14, I can go back to Firefox.

I started to install Firefox 57 by following http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/inst...efox-linux but had second thoughts and decided to wait on the Linux Lite Team or Ubuntu.

  Simpler approach for folder sharing through samba
Posted by: ayanb - 11-14-2017, 10:00 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

First time used sharing through linux lite yesterday through Network Share Setting. I think there should be something more simpler approach to that, like a Share option in the context menu. Just select the folder->right click on it->Share->Done

"Network Share Setting" can remain as an option to configure sharing. But it is complex to add lines of codes to that config file to share a folder.

anyway, I want to say CONGRATS to everyone reading this ... we finally won ... I have already replayed and congratulated every one about us being the best overall winner in that blog .. but actually here's a secret (i didn't actually hop off my chair when reading this) because actually, guys, that's an opinion I may like arch Linux while you don't but for real now we have our own HATER .. I mean we have a saying here in Egypt and it's (if you don't have your own hater then you are nothing) and now we can rest assured that we are a THING

but leave from this now, hmm I am thinking about the identity of that liar there ... who is he

well actually am going to run a poll hmm let's see  VOTE NOW is he
1- a guy from windows team that wants to drove people away
2- a guy from another Linux distro that wants to (drove people away too)
3- a 12-year-old kid just having fun trying new words he learned at school (probably this is the case)
thanks, guys and again congrats,
MKhaled

This above quote post and thread was recently removed by staff, for which I am grateful.
As it was targeted at me I will give an opinion.

I am not a guy I am a girl.
I am not 12 years old.
I am 15 years old.
However I was 12 years old when I joined this forum 3 years ago to begin to learn Linux for the first time.

My problem lies in -
1. this was a post targeted at myself.
2. It is a criminal act
3. I want that crime recorded by staff, I want to report that to them, in the legally required manner. So staff can monitor that other users in the community do not have this safety issue in future.

Mohamed states very clearly he wants to stalk what he believes to be a 12 year old, and he asks others to help him in this crime.

That post has made me feel very uneasy and nervous.
I am fully aware this user has stalked me on the forum/my posts from the day he joined.
It also worries me it may not be a coincidence the age stated, as you can see,  it could be based on a long term issue with Mohamed being a newly made account of an existing member in the community among everyone, this is a fear anyhow.

  Removable flash disks open as empty text files
Posted by: Lite Potato - 11-13-2017, 09:14 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (1)

When I try to access the contents of my USB flash disks, only a text editor opens. For some reason,  this does not happen on the LL live disk. Should I re-install only the OS partition or also /var, /opt, and /usr? This problem seems unrelated to drcrkeller's.

  Need an "Official" Linux Lite Dark Theme
Posted by: TheDead - 11-13-2017, 06:42 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (5)

Hi all!

In LL3.6, When choosing color themes in "Appearance", there is only the Arc-Dark theme.
But even when choosing it, Windows Title Bars and borders are still white/plale-gray.
... and Arc-Darker is whiter, go figure.

Is a real "dark" theme planned in updates/new version?
If not (or meanwhile) what would be a recommended true dark theme for LL?

Cheers!

I just reviewed the thread I started about my recent problems & would have liked to reply to the post by pterman "
And there's your problem right there: Inexperience and unwilling to put in any effort beyond moaning! No one else on here is reporting these issues so that leaves your inexperience as the culprit.
Firefox crashing is hardly the fault of any Linux distro, it has gotten worse over the last few years, particularly in its memory usage. Use Pale Moon which is closely related to Firefox, or Chrome/Chromium or even Vivaldi.
Your sound problem will be a simple mouse click away in the Pulseaudio panel, probably become muted for some reason. I have had this happen myself when I was running Makulu Linux.
As for things slowing down, you don't post your system specs so can't comment really. However, you do state your running 32 bit so I am assuming you're running a old system, these days don't expect to run a OS, or especially browse the web with any less than 1Gb of ram, you will still get slowdowns and crashes even with that!"but it has been locked.How do you ever expect to learn anything from the general public when you are too arrogant to allow them a response? This seems to epitomize Linux.It is created by experts for experts & anyone else are just lesser beings that are not catered for.......I am grateful for a free operating system but I still think you need to learn something about how to treat ordinary people  :-*

  CD ROM Issue
Posted by: penglezos - 11-12-2017, 03:58 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Dear Linux Lite community,


I hope you are doing all well. I have noticed a strange issue on both my computer's CD ROM and my uncle's. When I'm trying to put a cd/DVD on my player nothing happens. I double checked if my player is connected well and it is displaying right. My thoughts are if the permissions are not set right?
I'm really glad to share any information if needed.


Any guidance would be appreciated.


Yours,
penglezos
