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.

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 !

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

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

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
