LL3.6 - Updates seem to work but after receiving the updates available list, I get no progress indication until the update finished message appears. Running updates again tells me that the system is up to date. Could it be that the progress window is somehow positioned  off screen due to a corrupted config file?

(Other update problems are in this section so I guess its OK to leave this here.)

Still looking for a way to have a linux based tablet
The Dell Venue Pro 11 seems to be a possible candidate to convert to linux but reports state the wireless driver can be a problem.
Just wondering whether anyone has tried LL on it? 
These are now beginning to appear second hand at reasonable prices.

Thanks

http://www.studioteabag.com/science/dell...pro-linux/    interestingly came across this.  Not sure whether suitable for a linux newbie such as myself though?
would the smaller screen size be really be a problem??

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I just found out that Tixati has a Linux version. I have already installed it and it works just as great as it does in Windows. When I found this app in Windows it was so good to me cause I really wanted to ditch Utorrent and with tixati I finally did it. For those of you who've never used it and use to download stuff via torrents, I think you should definitely try it and you won't regret it

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!
I just found this while I was checking this site which I use to visit regularly and was wondering whether  if this Ubuntu Alert USN-3463-1 Werkzeug vulnerability is something we should worry about and if so, has it been taken care of already?.

The security bulletin  says:
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

It was discovered that Werkzeug did not properly handle certain web scripts. A remote attacker could use this to inject arbitrary code via a field that contains an exception message.

Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
python-werkzeug          0.10.4+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.1
python3-werkzeug        0.10.4+dfsg1-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: 
python-werkzeug          0.9.4+dfsg-1.1ubuntu2.1
python3-werkzeug        0.9.4+dfsg-1.1ubuntu2.1


Should we follow instructions as detailed on the bulletin and install the suggested package or are we having a LL update to resolve that?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hello,
I have posted earlier as I’m using Linux lite 3.4 on older computers that I place with South Africa high school youth for study. I’m now in SA and placing two today with youth and my question is:

1) Is there an advantage to having them use their computers via a second user whereby they DO NOT have admin access? I had heard that on windows computers it was best not to use the computers on a daily basis as “admin” which I believe is something to do with security as well as preventing downloading...

2) IF I change the second user to having admin permission or providing them with the admin password when required for things - is this any different or safer than simply having them use the computer via admin user.

Hope these questions make sense!

Regards,
Janet

No se exactamente cual pueda ser tu problema, pues yo instalé el WPS office y la asociación con archivos .xls fue automática, no tuve que hacer nada. Aquí te dejo algunas capturas que lo demuestran:








Como podrás darte cuenta yo no tuve ningún problema en asociar este tipo de archivo con WPS Office. Prueba lo siguiente:
Abre la terminal y escribe:

Yo uso nano, pero si tu prefieres otro editor puedes usarlo también. Presiona "enter" y escribe tu contraseña. Eso te abrirá la lista de todos los archivos y sus programas asociados en nano o el editor de tú preferencia, busca las lineas en donde el archivo esta asociado a Libreoffice y cambiala por WPS. Puedes usar este mismo método si deseas establecer WPS para los otros archivos que también están asociados a Libreoffice, así como para cualquier otro tipo de archivo. Prueba eso y luego comentas si te funcionó.
Por cierto, esta es la nueva sección en el foro para Hispanohablantes como tu y yo. Cualquier inquietud la puedes publicar por acá también.

This post belongs in desktop customization. I have continued it here.

There are four splashes. Grub boot splash, plymouth splash, lightdm splash, and desktop background splash. Below are their locations.

/boot/grub_linux_lite.png
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/liteboot/background.png (the feather is logo.png)
Your desktop and lightdm backgrounds can be stored in /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce  You can put your files there for them and use the GUI to select different backgrounds for them there.
If you want to change plymouth let me know as it requires a more specific method.

Hi everyone,

Languages are getting a lot of love lately  :-*

As previously stated, I'm starting to do some early work on Series 4.x
As the title states, I've created a Linux Lite 3.6 64bit (only) ISO with Language Support. I'd like some volunteers to install this in their native language.

- Select your Language at the start of the install.
- If it isn't already selected on the map slide of the installer, please make sure you select your correct Timezone/City. This will ensure that on the next slide, your correct language is selected and installed.

Because this installs your correct language during install, the install will take anywhere from 5 to 20 mins longer than our standard installer, depending on your system specs. This is because it needs to download all the additional language packs for your language. After a reboot for example, Gimp should be in your native language.

Once you've booted for the first time after the install, you'll be faced with a dialogue window that will ask if you want to change your folder names too, please do this.
There will of course be some Menu items that are not translated, Linux Lite applications, the My Computer sub menu, etc. Most of your system should be in your native language.

This is for non-UEFI and Secure boot systems. You can if you like, install in a VM, but I would prefer real hardware.

Download - http://repo.linuxliteos.com/isotests/lin...-64bit.iso

Filename: linux-lite-3.6-languages-64bit.iso
Size: 1.1Gb
MD5SUM: 41df4c6d4ddc06f2127f7def63455b24

The Grub Live boot menu is very basic (text only). This is deliberate, as I'm avoiding pouring dozens of hours into something that might not work for everyone.

You will see the word 'Ubuntu' instead of 'Linux' or 'Linux Lite' on the installer, just ignore this. The installer slides have not been translated.
Should you need it, the live login user is: ubuntu, no password required.







Thank you, and please let me know how you get on.
