The thread here seems to sum up my problem, but since it's marked Solved I thought I'd better start a new thread.

I use Slimjet as my default browser. It is a chromium derivative installed via a 64 bit .deb package. It runs great, but I have had this problem since Day One.

I make Slimjet the default browser from within its interface. But when I try to access a web page from another program, I have to specify the default browser, as it says none is set. I set it to Flashpeak Slimjet, and it then works fine. But the next time I open Slimjet it asks me whether I want to make it the default browser, which it already should be. It seems that Slimjet is fighting the system for default browser rights.

I went to Lite Tweaks to set SJ as default browser at the system level, but now the only choices it offers are firefox, chrome and chromium. I would swear that Flashpeak Slimjet was listed there under LL 2.6, but it's not there now. What's more, Chrome is not on the system.

I tried to see if this is a chromium or LL problem by making Firefox the default browser, but doing so didn't stop Slimjet from being the target browser for system calls. Maybe I needed to reboot?

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All, recently I lost the hard-drive that I had installed LL on, and have just purchased a 3Tb drive to replace it. I was very impressed with LL2.8 (except the Grub default 'arrogance' )
Now I want to put at least three distros on the drive to evaluate them (At this stage I don't want to use a virtual machine....sorry)
Earlier I had success with the latest Korora 23 but had to use the 'tedious' Anaconda installer, and permitted it to create it's own partitions (...as I had no success with the ones that I'd created with Gparted)
Now I have  'Biosboot', Boot and LVM partitions and 2.58 Tb unallocated space., if I want to add an LL installation, should I create fresh partition (ext4 or LVM with Gparted?) or use the installer partition tool? Before I commence I would love to get some 'expert-advice' and opinions.

Cheers, Tom

Greetings, all.  I've been experimenting with mplayer for my notebook computer multimedia needs.  For a while now I've been using it for the back end of SMTube, and it uses far less CPU that using a browser.

I've also successfully used mplayer to directly stream two Wisconsin Public Radio channels, but relating to this I have:

Question #1:  Why do I need to use the -playlist option to successfully use these radio streams?  I'm not using a playlist, but if I leave the option out and only use mplayer <stream name> instead of mplayer -playlist <stream name> I get nothing.  The streams are of type http://*.m3u.  I could not find much in the man page on this.

After much searching on the internet I was able to copy old (5 years ago) command line code to receive an Al Jazeera tv stream using rtmp output piped to mplayer.  However, that's about the only working example I could find, which leads to:

Question #2.  Does anyone have references or links that would help me find more current live tv streams to view, especially of type rtmp?  I've seen some stuff on using wireshark to dig out info from a browser playing the stream, but I was hoping for an easier way.

Thanks in advance for any info you might have.

Cheers,
Andy N1KSN

Hello all, I'm new to linuxliteos but not to linux generally ,I have this crappy Hp pavilion with this remote controller and I couldn't set it up to work under windows,apparently Hp  loves to charge for support and none of drivers didn't work for me.
I was wondering is there a way to use it on linuxlite (tried lirc but there is no config file for this model of remote).

Anybody knows how to make sudo with tokens like the old arcade games. I have a little brother which wants sudo but I want it as a reward. Anybody knows how to make something like sudo tokens. Or at least a way to enable and disable sudo remotely.

Hi, anybody knows how to make a notification appear when somebody logs in to an account. I am upgrading a PC and I want a message to appear after log in.
