It says "No compatible source was found for this media" I already tried reinstalling flashplugin-installer. It didn't help in any way. Also, my current browser is Opera.

  Word Association Game
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 09-29-2017, 12:56 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

Hello,

this thread is for another try to get a word association game started in English (all versions). It's for regular replies, reversals, slang, word plays< example =
cat
sprouts < cat is slang, means horrible, I think sprouts taste cat, so it fits. I don't think cats are cat though.

Are you really a playr Smile ?

**********

bunny        < also is slang for verbal chat up attempts, eg; did he give you the bunny.

  Load USB ISO from existing Image to another computer
Posted by: ssxt - 09-29-2017, 12:32 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

1. Created image like I wanted.
2. Used SystemBackup - per LL instructions - created an ISO on 16GB USB / Pendrive.
3. Boot off USB on another computer - same exact model of thin client - choose the Install option.
4. After entering user, pwd, host, etc. into goes to Partition Settings.
5. The Pen drive is 14.92 Gib; the computer's  drive is 14.91 Gib.
      >>>IS THIS THE ISSUE???too 'big' of ISO?
6. I do NOT understand Linux partitions (familiar w/Windows).
7. When I create a new partition and 'reset partition settings', it never gives me the 'NEXT' option.

Or How do I get to the 'Install Linux Lite' option AFTER I boot from the USB Pendrive - That Install option is EASY.

Thanks
Td

  Lite Sources Simple Question
Posted by: Mart - 09-28-2017, 10:14 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

In Release Announcement 3.6 it says -

“NOTE: Lite Sources does not include Ubuntu repositories or software. This is only for Linux Lite created applications eg. Lite Software, Lite Welcome, Lite Tweaks etc.”

So, can someone please answer this simple question for me (forgive my noobness!) :-

If I don’t use Lite Sources, will I still get updates for Lite Software, Lite Welcome, Lite Tweaks etc through the normal Ubuntu repositories/mirrors?

Thanks.

  subtitles files linux confusing behaviour.
Posted by: Moltke - 09-28-2017, 01:18 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I'm facing some kind of a situation with subtitle files. When I download a subtitle I usually download it in 2 languages if possible; Spanish and English. Now, whenever I try to do this the system seems to read the 2 files as the same asking me to replace one with the other, I mean, even they're not the same file (i.e subtitle.eng .srt, subtitle.spa .srt) seems like Linux doesn't know the difference between one subtitle being on a different language than the other but only reading the *.srt extension and sees them as the same one, so I have to save both files in different separate folders, otherwise I'm asked to replace the subtitle each time. I'm confused cause I've never ever faced this in Windows. I use subdownloader and vlc vlsubs addon for this as well as google. I googled for this but didn't find anything. It's not like it is a very big problem to me  but I was curious whether any of you guys have ever faced a similar situation and how you solved it if you happened to solve it. Thanks in advance for your answers. Smile

  Ubuntu Is Dropping 32-bit Desktop Images

Source - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/ubunt...ds-dropped

So yes, unless there is some special case or reversal for 18.04 (Series 4.x) we also will no longer be producing a 32bit version of Linux Lite from Series 4.x onwards.

  Change disk partition owner/permission
Posted by: thoughtinstinct - 09-27-2017, 01:36 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (2)

Hi all


I partitioned a disk drive after installing LL and i was unable to copy/paste into that partition so i followed the instructions here to be able to copy/paste https://itsfoss.com/set-write-permission...ntu-linux/


Although the above worked, i'm still unable to delete folders in that partition so my question is was the above tutorial the best way to go about it or is there a better way to do it? Are there any good tutorials on disk partitioning i can study for that matter?


Thanks in advance good folk of LL !

  Periodic Table of Linux Distros

Linux Lite is yellow in the upper right.  I'm not sure if the Stable Release Year is correct, though.

  Significant Web Server Upgrade Tuesday October 3rd 2017
Posted by: valtam - 09-27-2017, 11:35 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

Our Webhost, which includes:

- Main website
- Forums
- Screenshots
- Help Manual (online)

Is performing a major upgrade on:

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2017 between the hours of 9:00pm - 3:00 am MDT

The estimated downtime will be 15 minutes but may be longer. Although we do not anticipate any major breakages or delays, you never can say never.
We will be doing a full backup of all of the above prior to that time and date, and will be around all day to respond quickly to any quirks, breakages (let's hope there isn't any).

Install Updates are not affected.

Cheers Smile
