  ls: unrecognized/unknown option «--color [»
Posted by: Moltke - 11-06-2017, 09:02 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (8)

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile
I wanted to list files/folders in a directory with

Code:
ls
and got this 
Code:
ls: unrecognized option «--color [»
Why am I seeing this? What does it mean? I've googled for this  without any luck Sad
Any help/advice is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
By the way, since my system is in Spanish I translated the error message so I don't know if that's what you'll see in English. Wink

  Lite Help does not start correct
Posted by: JohnD - 11-06-2017, 07:27 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Hello.

When ever a program starts a documentation, which, I suppose, is coded in HTML, no longer a web browser starts but the html editor Bluefish. So I'm also not able to load the Help for Linux Lite.

I think it's something with this alternatives system, but I do not know how to fix it.

  Linux lite 3.4 or ?
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 11-06-2017, 04:54 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

I’m wiping an 3-5 yr old Dell that was running Win 10 (donated to me with this OS). I have it as the youth who was using it ran into a problem, likely a virus, so he now has one of the other donated computers running Linux Lite 3.4

My question is do I put LL 3.4 on this one or move up to 3.6? Or even another flavour? This computer has RAM 3G and HD 500 GB. ALL the other donated laptops I’m setting up with youth are running LL 3.4 so am wondering if there’s any good reason to do anything different..?

Thanks in advance,

Janet (in South Africa doing volunteer work with youth)

  HTML5 Fullcreen Youtube 720p60 1080p60 Firefox
Posted by: valtam - 11-06-2017, 09:00 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

I was putting up with choppy videos for a while on fullcreen Youtube 720p60 1080p60 videos in Firefox.
I have 2 x 4k, 28" Screens.

This also worked for 2160p 4k Youtube content Smile

Today I found the solution:

1. Put about:config into Firefox's address bar and hit enter.
2. Search for layers.acceleration.force-enabled
3. When this value comes up, double click the word false under the value column to change it to true
4. Restart Firefox.

FYI, in Chrome I experienced no such issues.

Hurrah, no more chop!

  How do I install Tar files?
Posted by: csias40 - 11-04-2017, 03:40 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

i KNOW THIS HAS BEEN ASKED, BUT READING THE OTHER POSTS, I STILL CAN'T DO IT.
i DOWNLOADED AND EXTRACTED, BUT WHEN I RIGHT CLICK AND EXECUTE, NOTHING HAPPENS.

i AM TRYING TO DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM.
https://zoom.us/download?os=linux

DOWNLOADED AND EXTRACTED... TRIED MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.

I WISH IT WAS IN SYNAPTIC!

I REALLY DON'T KNOW TERMINAL, SO I NEED A TRUE STEP-BY-STEP.  EVEN SOME OF THOSE MAKE NO SENSE TO ME, OR DON'T WORK.

TRIED TO POST THE SCREENSHOTS, BUT IMAGE FILES ARE NOT SUPPORTED FOR THESE POSTS.

WHAT AM I MISSING?

  IS MY PC 32BIT OR 64BIT
Posted by: MohamedKhaled - 11-04-2017, 11:02 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

some of us don't even know if their computers are 32bit or 64bit so they just install 32bit ... cool but only if you want to use only 90% of your system power ... on another side who would install a 1 gig file just to make sure that they are 64 bit or not ..... well you can easily find if your CPU is capable of running 64bit OSs or not by running the following command

sudo dmidecode -t processor

cheers
