Hello,

following on from the music A-Z tip.
I learned a new trick for creating the year folders from "The Linux Command Line" book.
To this I then added in months by number, and the A-Z as used for music tip, to create efficient photo directories.

Open your terminal using the icon in the panel, or by holding down Ctrl and Alt keys then pressing t, (Ctrl+Alt+t)

Change to Pictures folder

Thank you Jerry for your welcome.
I have just installed Lite 3.6 with no problems at all does all I want it to do.
thanks againMurkey.

Hello people.

I have installed Ll 3.4 32bit and I want to move to 3.6. How are the steps to update the system from the internet?

I'm new to using linux, and I do not know many commands.

Hi all

I am relatively new to Linux Lite (I used Ubuntu previously but found it too bloated). I had no problems before but when the internet connection was upgraded, all other devices had internet access except for my laptop, which was running Linux Lite. But the temporary solution that worked was using a Linux Lite Live USB, in which my laptop was able to access the internet. So I thought maybe I needed to reinstall Linux Lite. Which I did. But now I still have no internet access. I can connect to the home network on both wifi and LAN cable, but no internet access.

So far, I've searched for solutions online and found they did not work for me. I've tried disabling the firewall, still no internet.

I can ping 8.8.8.8, the router, and google.com, no problem. But when I perform 'host www.google.com' on the terminal, I get the result ';;connection timed out; no servers could be reached'.

I would be very grateful for any help. Thanks a lot and have a nice day. 

Hi,
I cant connect to my wifi router in usb live session.
My laptop hp stream 13 has only wifi adapter.
I tried to install "bcmwl-kernel-source"
like this:

Just upgraded to LL3.6 and actual system working no problem.  Dual booting on laptop with Peppermint8 and Grub menu still shows LL3.4 even though during upgrade it seemed to update Grub at least twice.  Also during bootup sequence when 4 dots show, LL3.4 is still system noted.
Obviously not really of great concern as installed system is definitely LL3.6 according to System Information.
Anybody else with same experience?

I decided to do the hardest installation of Linux Lite 3.6 first. That is the 32 bit version on my netbook. I say the hardest because due to low specifications it'll take a while. The best resolution for display I can get is set for 1024 x 600. When you click on the 'Lite Sources' in the menu you cannot resize the box to fit the screen. All you can do is move it around, but you cannot make the box smaller. As a result once you select your source you can't click on the 'OK' button at the bottom & clicking 'enter' doesn't automatically enter the information. The bottom part of the box is cut off the screen. As a result I have no way to use/set 'lite sources'. Is there a workaround?

Attempted to use Lite Upgrade to update a 3.4 system to 3.6 and get an error message:

"Linux Lite Upgrade Utility was unable to establish a connection with the Linux Lite master repository.  Please check your internet connection and try again."

This system can only access the internet via a web proxy, for which the details have been set in environment variables in /etc/environment and APT configuration options in /etc/apt/apt.conf.  The Install Updates utility works normally and I had run this (and successfully applied some updates) and rebooted before attempting to run Lite Upgrade.  I've also successfully installed Lite Software packages on this system.

I can therefore only conclude that Lite Upgrade is not respecting any of the proxy settings in place.

If Lite Upgrade can be convinced to do the upgrade via a proxy, how do I set the proxy details?  If it doesn't support a proxy, is it a script I can look at modifying? (I understand shell scripts and Python ok, Perl not so much)

Thanks.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 3.6 Final is now available for download. There have been a number of changes since the 3.4 release.

In this release, we introduce two major new features. Firstly, Lite Sources is a repository selector that allows you to easily select a software repository nearest to you. When new versions of Linux Lite branded applications are released, you'll now get much faster download speeds thanks to Lite Sources. The second newest feature for Linux Lite 3.6 is the inclusion of both an online and offline search engine for the Linux Lite Help Manual. Search results are highlighted to allow you to easily find the help content you need fast.

See below for all the changes and how to use our new features.

Presenting Linux Lite 3.6 Final



Lite Sources - A new application for Linux Lite. Lite Sources is a repository selector for Linux Lite created/branded applications.

1. Menu, Settings, Lite Sources.



2. Enter your password.



3. Click on the Check Repos status button. We need to do this first to see which mirrors are currently active.



4. You will see the following dialogue box. Hit any key when you are ready.



5. Wait for the repository check to complete.



6. Make note of an ONLINE repository.



7. Select an ONLINE repository then click on Use selected Repo.



8. When finished, you'll get a notification.



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.


New Search engine for the Help Manual - The Linux Lite Help Manual has received the long awaited search engine. This is the culmination of 4 free software projects rolled into one.
The search engine has been designed in such a way that the end result produces an easy to understand UI. The search engine is available both offline and online and is mobile/tablet friendly. See the online version here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual

1. Each page has a Search box directly below each pages contents menu, near the top of the page. Type in your search query.
TIP: For optimal results, only search for one or two words eg. nvidia instead of how do I install nvidia drivers



2. Click on the link in the search results.



3. When you arrive at the page that you clicked on, the search engine will automatically scroll to the first instance of that word, and it will also highlight in yellow every instance of that word on that page.





Mobile friendly:



Arc theme for Thunderbird - Has been included to ensure theme continuity across Linux Lite.




Changelog:

Kernel 4.4.0.93.98 (custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 4.12)
Firefox 55.0.2
Thunderbird 52.2.1
LibreOffice 5.1.6.2
VLC - 2.2.2
Gimp 2.8.22

Better Bluray support

Better Broadcom wireless support
Lite Upgrade has had some minor GUI and code changes
Lite Welcome has had some minor GUI changes
New wallpapers
Samba conf file - share name shortened from linuxliteshare to liteshare

Note: The Arc theme for Firefox has been removed. Development on the Firefox theme seems to have stalled and there are a number of unanswered issues on Github that are yet to be addressed. For this reason, the sensible thing to do is remove it as there are no guarantees it will play nice with future Firefox versions. If you have the Arc Firefox theme installed, I recommend disabling and/or removing it. In Firefox go to Tools, Addons, Appearance.
The system wide Arc theme has nothing to do with this issue.
