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.
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.

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.

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.

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! :-\
