Well. Here I am always saying bad things about Firefox & they release a new web browser. If you feel like playing with the next version of Firefox, you can. There is a windows based, and a Linux based version of the new Firefox Quantum. Here's a link to the Linux version. Download it. Then right-click it to 'extract here' (it's a tar.bz2 file). Open the folder & double-click on 'Firefox' (235.8 kb executable). If you want to pin that to your desktop, just right click the 'Firefox' file & select 'send to' < 'Desktop (create Link)'. Enjoy! Remember! this is NOT the release version, but It's quite something.

Hallo

I have installed Double Commander (doublecmd) with version 0.7.1.2 from April 2016,
is there a way to update to the latest version 0.8

Greetings from Austria

Hi,

I did what the following poster did and cannot Update nor open Synaptic - I will quote my own results below his.
I have looked at a thread dealing with similar, with a lot of investigating  code etc - I'm just too tired, I'm not up to it. I can handle a Systemback if I know that will restore Synaptic (ie without the offending code), then I can try to find a way to install SeaMonkey!

The original thread is at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-to...n-lite/15/  but I thought a new topic might be more appropriate. I will pass any solution back to the others there.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Other poster's post (his comment begins at "did that, now how do I fix ...":

    OMYGOSH YES!  Seamonkey has thousands fewer lines of code than Firefox!  PLUS it has a simple, Thunderbird-like e-mail client. And yet it is faster and more nimble.  Most Firefox add-ons work in Seamonkey too.  Seamonkey is the default on other lightweight distros because of it's speed, low demand on resources, and "Firefox-like" interface.  It would be an awesome first choice for Linux Lite, and in keeping with it's philosophy.

    Wanna try it?


    Clicky add it to Linux Lite by adding the Ubuntuzilla repository.


    Open a terminal and type


    Code: [Select]

    sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29



    Then add the repository:



    Code: [Select]

    echo -e “ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project...ozilla/apt all main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null



    Now you can close the terminal and open Synaptic Package Manager for a nice friendly graphical way to install Seamonkey.  Refresh Synaptic, and Seamonkey should appear among the choices now.  Simply find it and click and Mark for Installation -> Apply.

 

did that, how do I fix this?

My own post (before I saw the above):

" Randomboy in this thread offered command llnes for adding SeaMonkey to Synaptic.
Is that information given correct?
I did enter those command lines, now I cannot open Synaptic - I get the following:

An error occurred..

E: Type ‘“ndeb’ is not known on line 20 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.


I then tried to "Install Updates" and got the following:

How do I get out of this? "



Another poster suggested we remove the "n" from "ndeb", but no idea how.

Anyway, Systemback will do for me if it promises to restore Synaptic and Updates.  if so, I can do a restore from my Home backup, which may restore various settings, but hopefully not the ndeb or whatever!  :-\

Understandably, we're all a bit concerned about the announcement that systemback, that wonderfully user-friendly back-up tool, will no longer be supported in future - a great shame. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills and know-how to help in that area for it's continuation (not in a million years!)  :'(

So, like you, I'm wondering what to use in the future instead of systemback, though I'm sure Jerry will come up with something.  In light of this, I heard about a tool called rsync in the Manjaro forum, and I use it on setups3&4 (in signature). Rsync is a terminal-based tool (it seems to back up much faster than the GUI-based dejadup): the good news is that it's installed by default in LL3.6 

There is a GUI-based version of rsync called grsync, also available to install from the Ubuntu repository (see Install Updates in LL menu).
Just a thought for the LL developers:  could grsync replace systemback in future LL upgrades, with explanatory notes on its use incorporated into the LL Help Manual ?

Without guidance notes on how to use grsync, I therefore found the terminal-based rsync easier to use, after I got some help on the Manjaro forum community, and would like to share this with you guys.

To use rsync, you need to do the following:

1. Create a back-up folder, e.g. let's call it Backup, and we'll put it at home/mike/                   
    [substitute 'mike' for your user name; the the name of the back-up folder & where you put it is entirely your choice]

2. Now when  backing-up, certain exclusions will be made: you don't want to include everything, otherwise the back-up file will be cumbersome
    [e.g. it's assumed that your directories (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc) will be backed-up elsewhere such as to an external drive]

To back-up, open terminal and copy & paste this:

For those of you who studied chemistry at secondary school / high-school, the link below (entitled "Periodic Table of Linux Distros") will no doubt make you smile...

https://distrowatch.com/images/other/per...distro.png

It's actually very clever. Like with the Periodic Table of The Elements, which organizes elements into groups according to their electron configurations and chemical properties, the one for distros also attempts to organize into families with common characteristics.

So for your chemistry homework tonight, please locate Linux Lite and list its properties ...  ;D

Hi All
English Bob here aka Steve great to meet you all been using Linux Lite since its creation I am happy to help anyone where I can resolve any issues youy may have I am also building a video library on youtube of self help guides to help you get the best out of Linux Lite, great to be hear look forward to being of service.

I have a generic tablet device, not sure of the name brand,} Lenova { has some form of Lollipop or Lenova operating system? I was recently blind sided by an advertisement from WalMart, while on MY personal wifi at HOME surfing Ebay. SO I was wondering about wiping its brain and Installing Linux Lite, or a Puppy linux.
Any suggestions other? lower than .45 or 40 ACP?
thanks  and Hi to all been away Daryl KB5ZXM

Here lxterminal is transparent and fullscreen running a few figlets and screenfetch. Conky is transparent as well using the 'above' hint with a few more options added.

Hi All:
I'm litewait and new to forum, but not LL, actually started that journey w/ 2.6. updates have always been a little buggy.  I have LL 3.4 on 5-10 machines, most very old HPs. I'm NOT comfortable using the terminal, guess that makes me goooey?
one of my desktops spit this back today it seems criptic but obviously not deadly. have encountered dpkg issues before... usually go away with a fresh install.  NEVER EVER discard your OS Disc DVD!!! AND keep your files on a thumb drive. This particular desktop is an ancient Dell===========================

In the past week, both of my computers running LL 3.6 64bit have gotten darker displays.  I checked with a friend running the same version, and he noticed the same thing.  We have Intel based integrated graphics cards. 


Again, it's a recent thing I noticed since about the middle of last week.  It could be updates related.  I wondered if anyone else noticed the same thing.
