Heya!


I have some older machines using Linux Lite 2.x and would like to make the icon texts on the desktop centered instead of left-aligned. I tried a few things wihout success but the XFCE control panel has so many options I'm confused.


How can I make the LL 2.x desktop icons show up like they do in LL 3.x ?


Cheers!

Hi folks -- I'm still in LL 3.4, and have been having trouble getting through the Install Updates process. I've even tried these steps from another thread:

Hi - I'm very new to Linux, so please excuse any obvious mistakes.

I have successfully paired a wireless keyboard to Linux Lite on a fairly old Dell desktop PC. I can see signals being transmitted between the PC and the keyboard via a moving band and a numerical counter, but cannot work out how to switch the OS to actually use this keyboard. The only keyboard recognised is the wired one I used for setup. I have tried the obvious things like rebooting, removing the wired keyboard used to set up the wireless connection, and using different USB ports, but can't solve it. I've also looked for similar issues in this forum. Any help much appreciated.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I'll start from the beginning; I've been having some overheating problems lately and I have to keep an eye on CPU temps behavior the whole time. I used to use sensors command to check on cpu temps, however, I had to open the terminal every time to do that, so I found and installed an applet for the xfce panel, but again, is the same story with the terminal and sensors command. I'd like an utility that shows cpu temps in the panel without the need of opening anything, something like core temp in Windows. Is there such a tool? So far I found nothing that works. I'm on Linux Lite XFCE flavor by the way. I'm not exactly new to Linux but I'm not expert neither. Thanks in advance for your help!  ;D

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life. Glad to be here.  I've been using Linux Lite for quite a few weeks now, again, since I've used it in the past before. I'm on the XFCE flavor which I must say is my favorite desktop environment; really lightweight  and easy to use. I've used XFCE in almost any distro I've tried. I hope we can share experiences, tips, hows to, best practice advices. I'm not expert or whatsoever, but I'll try my best  ;D.

I see that the devloper


[table][tr][td]said on 2017-09-04: [/td] [td]  #1 [/td] [/tr][/table] I was planned a bigger update with various improvements (including a rewritten source code). But then I realized that I did not have so much spare time. The Systemback was a hobby for me, but now would be just a work. So originally I develop the program only for me, because fun. But the fun factor is over, and I just using some Bash scripts for the system update, backup and restore.
I know that there are several problem in the latest Systemback version. But I do not think that I will continue the maintenance.
Plus the most used function was the Live image creation (and the system installation). But personally, this was not my primary goal.


Does this mean that it is no longer supported and we need an alternative?

Earlier before 3.6 came out, there was talk of systemback disappearing from Linux Lite "for lack of a maintainer."  What exactly is a maintainer and what does he or she do?  Could non-technical boy like me do that?  I can't write code or anything like that, but "maintaining" just sounds like "keeping it around and updated." 

Sorry for the rookie question, just wondering if there's a new way I can contribute.

I wonder if there are others here in the Forums who are just emerging from the chaos and bewilderment of Hurricane Irma. 

Definitely terrifying to say the least.  A lot of people lost everything, some of us only a little.  But one amazing good thing to come out of disasters like Irma and Harvey is a good look in the mirror.  They bring out the best - and the worst - in people, showing us who we really are.

I shared a meal today with one of the linemen who came down here to Florida from Tennessee to help us get our power back.  He had worked 40 hours in just two days - and a lot of awesome wonderful people have been doing that since it was safe to come down here. 

We camped indoors, cooked outside over a wood fire, sang songs, told stories, did laundry in collected rainwater, and did a whole bunch of cleaning up for 5 days after the storm passed us before our electricity and Internet were restored.  No school (yay!), but also no work, so money is super tight now.  But we learned to share, to give even though we were needy ourselves, and to be very grateful for life, for family, and soooooo many things that we usually take for granted!

Nearby rivers are still rising over roads as storm water drains from residential areas, and weakened trees are still leaning and threatening to topple.  Chainsaws are running like crazy all over the state of Florida.  ;D  But Irma has brought people together like nothing else could have. 

Gratitude and love to first responders, military troops, and countless others who have come from very far away to work like crazy for a bunch of strangers in need.

Chromium has broken packages which I am unable to remove and am informed that I need to reinstall it. I don't remember how I installed it in the first place. It is not is 'Lite Software'  I have 32bit Dell M1210 LL3.6
