| Freeplane version in repositories |

Hello, I'm new to the forums although I have been using linux lite for around 10 months now. I guess the fact that I haven't been here before says a lot about my experinece using Linux Lite - yes, I like it a lot! Now, my problem is that I used to use freemind a lot, but the version in the repositories is an (very) old one so I moved on to Freeplane which I find has some better features. However, again the version in the repositories is 1.3.15-3 while the current version is 1.5.18. If I try to install newer versions I run into library problems. Can the developers have a look into updating these for me or give me some tips on how I can install the most up to date versions myself please? I am currently running Freeplane in a XP VM which isn't ideal. On another note I have hoped that the use of Snap might mean that packaging might become easier - is this an avenue worth persuing?
Thanks and keep up the good work on this fast efficient distribution!
David

Hello
I tried updating today and it showed me there are updates available but then an error occurred and was pointed to /var/logs/llupdates.log
Code: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
I tried again to look if there are updates available but it couldn't fetch updates. Tried one more time and now it says my system is up to date and lite widget shows "Your system was recently updated" although no update has been done recently.( for 3 days )

Hello agan Linux Lite community. It's been a long time. I had a hard time remembering the forum login password. ;D
Found this small remastersys-timedateset script by Tony Brijeski and switched it from yad to zenity.
Sets the time and date settings and syncs to hardware clock.
I hope you find it usefull.

| Google Earth LL3.2 64bit |

Just converting the HP desktop to LL3.2 64bit.
Desperately need Google Earth to work. Had it working on LL2.8 32bit.
Have been faffing around for more than an hour trying various online suggestions - all to no avail.
Problem seem to hinge on lsb-core and its other family; mta etc.
Appreciate that LL does not support this but need to find a way around the problem for work.
TIA

| Linux Lite and KDE? |

(Wasn't sure where to put this, but...)
I wish Linux Lite would be available in a KDE version as well.
I really am a KDE fan and love all the options it offers. Plus,
the KDE Connect works great with connecting your phone
to your desktop. I know you can do it on the XFCE desktop,
but i have had issues. It's not reliable.
Anyway, have you had any thoughts of adding another GUI
to this distro?

| Shell script returning divide by zero error |

'lite-tweaks-super' returning the following error:
Code: :~/$ lite-tweaks-super
/usr/bin/lite-tweaks-super: line 812: ((: PERCENTAGE = 100 * 1 / 0 : division by 0 (error token is "0 ")
The 'while read line' loop should not in theory at least by the looks execute any iterations if '$TOTAL_LINES' is zero, my scripting is largely POSIX (blame BSD) and not Bash so off the top of my head I'm not entirely sure what is going on here:
Code: ## Arrays execution
run_icon=/usr/share/icons/Faenza/actions/32/system-run.png
x=0
for k in "${!ARRAYC}"; do x=$(( $x + 1 )); done # Get the total number of selected items in the array
TOTAL_LINES=$x
printf '%s \n' "${ARRAYC}"|
while read line
do
$line # Execute functions one by one
if [ $? = 1 ]; then
zenity --info --title=" Lite Tweaks" --text="Error:\n${line}"
fi
let i++
(( PERCENTAGE = 100 \* ${i} / ${TOTAL_LINES} ))
echo "$PERCENTAGE"
if [ "$PERCENTAGE" == "100" ]; then
echo "#Done"
sleep 1
fi

| Administrator log in assumed by lite-* admin. tools |
|

I will usually on first boot and while installing updates (from a console log in) use the administrator graphical log in to create a desktop user, which then becomes my default log in from second boot onwards (the policy being not to type an administrator password during an X11 session if at all possible, logging in to an administrator log in only from a console).
Now while applications like 'Install/Remove Software' and 'Users and Groups' correctly prompt for the password of the administrator log in even when logged in as a desktop user (they seem to be able to automatically deduce this somehow!), lite-* tools requiring an admin. log in assume an administrator is running the program in the first instance and duly prompt only for a password -- being logged in as a desktop user (without even any sudo rights) the program duly refuses to run.
I can however run lite-* admin. programs from a terminal as a desktop user, logging in as administrator with 'su -l <admin. user>' in the first instance, however it does leave the password exposed to key loggers (although running xterm selecting the 'Secure Keyboard' option is a way around this).

| Num. lock default, install and first boot |

A default setting of number lock switched on when installing and then on first boot is probably OK for a keyboard with a separate number pad, but where the numeric keypad is embedded into the querty keyboard (typically laptops) it can be confusing for a good while (i.e., figuring out what is going on).
The default boot configuration can be set with the lite-tweak tool - the problem being knowledge of which is only serendipitously acquired.
