  testing neofetch
Posted by: trinidad - 10-05-2017, 08:11 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (2)

I have been testing neofetch for awhile now and I believe it is now at the point where it could be included in Lite software. I'm using the ppa and the very newest version (3.0 for Ubu 17.xx) and it is clean and fast and quite accurate so far. We do need to get an ASCII feather to the developer, but because it is not coded the convoluted way screenfetch is I think this will be a good application in the future.

  Google earth AGAIN
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 10-05-2017, 06:31 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Realise GE is not supported officially within the forum.

Fresh install LL3.6 64bit of HP desktop dc7700p.
Ralphy came to my rescue earlier (March 2017)  when using LL3.2 64bit on this machine.  (See Below quote)
Followed same Terminal procedures , but this time GE  map part appears to be miniaturised within the main GE window frame.

Help appreciated.

(03-28-2017, 01:33 AM)ralphy link Wrote: I have installed the 64 bit version just fine. Try this:

Terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
wget -O google-earth.sh http://drive.noobslab.com/data/apps/google-earth/google-earth.sh
chmod +x google-earth.sh
sudo ./google-earth.sh

After installation I created a Launcher on the desktop as usual. You can always start it from terminal with google-earth


UPDATE:  Seems to prefer working within a Chrome Browser window??  There is a link within the GE window LH pane,  lower third which says something like  "The New Google Earth". Clicking this link fire3s up a splash screen  encouraging downloading Google Chrome.  Once GC is installed and the GE fire up process repeated, GE seems to fire up in C Google Chrome OK.

Question- does GE now only work if G Chrome is installed?

  New Theme For XFCE
Posted by: ayanb - 10-05-2017, 12:39 PM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (8)

The default Arc Theme is always a good theme, but a complete new theme which can make the DE look more awesome, is required. I like Square title bar buttons (Minimize/Maximize/Close), as it greatly increases the productivity. Round title bar buttons does not have enough space for a quick click scenario. Whether Square buttons are accurate for that reason.

I am using ARC-WIN8 theme for that purpose. Waiting for a official theme like this.

For some reason, the desktop on my computer reverted to this:

Linux Lite 3.6. Upgraded yesterday, no such problem on reboots, turned on the computer today and this suddenly appeared.

I tried this solution and this one, to no avail.

Any way to solve this?

  Accidentally deleted the main panel
Posted by: Irinnie - 10-04-2017, 09:04 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Hey there!
I've been having a pretty great experience with Linux Lite so far, this is my first Linux desktop ever. Smile
But then the other day I mistakenly removed the first, main panel - the one with time, wifi, volume etc.
The items are still there but they no longer stick in the right corner, but floated left, they now move left and right depending on how many program windows or directories are open.
It's a bit annoying because I've gotten used to look at the time in the bottom right corner and loved my Filezilla sticking there...
Is there any way to return the things to the default?
Thanks!

Hello! I have lite 3.6. and the kodi version installed is 15.2 and I trying to upgrade to 17.3, when I try to upgrade always says that the latest version is already installed, I already unistalled and reinstall it removing and erasing everything and keeps installing the 15.2 version. Is this a problem with updates on the entire system?

  New Firefox
Posted by: trinidad - 10-03-2017, 04:58 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

I noticed this morning that my Ubuntu OS which is set to automatically update finally added Firefox 56, so I updated LL 3.6 as well afterwards and indeed Firefox 56 was installed. I enable all the tracking features in Firefox and I believe this is the first time an upgrade was tailored to my usage habits. I'm going to test this for a while this morning between the two systems to see the differences.
