file:///home/jll/Desktop/Eva%20Cassidy%20-%20Drown%20in%20My%20Own%20Tears.mp3: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. 

I got this error  after installing the " Alarm Applet "  and directing  it to play this  mp3 audio file.  How do I go about  finding  out which plugin  is missing ?  Can some one help me out with this. I'm wanting to learn  how to find these things out on my own whenever possible.    thank you.

At the moment I cannot access my sda1 where LL is installed. In order to not have a long drawn out explanation ;  I can view files and folders from a live disk  of LL.  could someone just inform me where I can view a list of  all PPA's installed  in SDA1 from a live disk of LL . I just want to take a screenshot of all PPA's on SDA1  for a new install.  thanks

Hello guys & gals! I am a privacy activist for two years now, meaning I inform people on how to stay safe on the internet and protect their right to privacy... I have recently made the switch to Linux (after using Windows for around 8 years) and I am loving it. This distro is truly optimized and runs great on my not-so-great hardware (pun intended  Big Grin). Would also like to see a LXDE version in the future as it'd even make it faster. Nonetheless, great distro, easily the fastest I've tried on this laptop and you have made my laptop usable again. Thanks!

I have been test driving 3.0. There is too much blue to my taste in the gray in the only dark theme offered (Arc Dark). I did not find any dark flat gray themes that completely work in 3.0 although they work in 2.8 and other distros with the XFCE DE. I found reading Spatry's Cup of Linux forum http://cupoflinux.com/SBB/index.php/topi...27694.html, that "Many of the themes that ship with XFCE are not gtk3.20 compliant yet so while they will theme your desktop, GTK3.20 applications will NOT use the older gtk styles and will not match. ... Searching online for themes which are gtk3.20 compliant will yield SOME results."

I found these themes work http://www.ravefinity.com/p/vivacious-co...theme.html  8)

I have been test driving 3.0. I prefer Gnome-brave icons. In 3.0 the restart icon is not [Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTu0C1VnMS7bLTgG8efv5o...iE-EW17D_Q][Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTu0C1VnMS7bLTgG8efv5o...iE-EW17D_Q][Image: 698-gnome-session-reboot.png] in the actions buttons in the panel but instead a completely different double arrows. (I can't find a image of it but it is common in several icon themes.) I have copied gnome brave and gnome common colors in to icons folder /usr/share/icons/ and tried a .icons folder in the home folder too. Neither worked. Any suggestions?

Any thoughts.

Now that you can change your kernel, to an excellent selection of 15 different kernels, it raises a question. According to kernel.org kernel 3.14 (for example) runs out of support this August. As the kernels in the repository are Linux Lite custom kernel's, are the LTS dates the same, longer, or shorter? The reason I ask is that I recently changed some older/less powerful computers running LL 3.0 to Linux Lite custom kernel 3.13.0. Thanks again to anyone with some information on this. Also thanks to Jerry & team for making kernel changes on Linux Lite so very easy.
