Control center currently provides info to the user showing what date updates were last run, while work is being done to improve accuracy of this info. I'm asking the community what would they like it to display.


A few points would be, is just date last run ok. Or would hours/minutes/seconds be important.


Is count of new updates important? example "Updates last run 2-2-2016, 4 new updates... [Click here to update]"




I understand the majority of users may not rely on control center for this info. However I aim to make it as accurate as users would want. Any ideas are welcome in regard to this feature. Or any features for the control center are also welcome.

After 50cm. of snow I felt like a snow day project. The first LL I used was 1.0.8, and now using 2.8. But for fun I downloaded 1.0.0 to 1.0.6 to try on an Asus netbook & a Lenovo 3.0mhz computer. Perfect, fast installation in both cases using Linux lite 1.0.0. My question is, are there any working repositories for this OS? Just so everyone knows, it isn't devastating if there aren't. And yes, I understand this is a 3 1/2 year old OS. But I'm thinking of keeping it on the netbook. I never saw an Intel atom, 1gb memory netbook run that fast. I can & did (sudo install) the latest version of Firefox, UFW firewall, Firejail & Synaptic package manager. The only problem is on repositories. I keep geting '404 -ed'. Are there any working repositories for Linux Lite 1.0.0 to 1.0.4? I would like to say that even though we're up to version 2.8, with 3.0 coming this summer, version 1.0.0 is still a mighty fine OS. It's fun to go back to the original & you can see why the OS caught on.

No need for panic but this is definitely newsworthy.  ~Scott

Update
Looks like the Mint forums were compromised as well.

The existing button style is taken from GTK theme as with most "webpages". But with some styling the button's can appear a bit nicer (in my opinion of course).


You can see the current one here:









And new style here:



The purpose of this poll is to decide if the new style is preferred or old style. Or another look is needed.

Hi i get this message when trying to boot into Linux lite

error file name expected


I installed point Linux debian. and i also have fadora on here also. point Linux debian was the newest one i installed and this is main one now. And it seems to have the same grub screen as Linux lite

How can i fix this please 

This is a great distro. Nicely done. Thanks to all of you who put it all together.

I was going to just forget about this as everything seems to be working fine now and has been for a couple of days now.

This began on Feb 17ish and the wifi on my Aspire One intel atom N450 1.66 was disconnecting and then later reconnecting all night. I thought to myself wtf not this thing again.

I went to Google and found a few solved solution but nothing was working. As a matter of fact it only was a problem when downloading files. The wifi would quit and come back to set the download to fail.

I was going to make a post here on the 18 but it seemed to of fixed what ever was the problem.

The reason why I'm posting this now is I'm wondering if upstream they may have made a mistake and during one of my updates I may have downloaded something only to have it get fixed on a later update. I have not done anything since and it has been corrected.

Anyone else found this happening to their computer? Has something like this ever happen before?

Confused....

With help from gold_finger and others I have successfully installed Linux Lite and Linux Mint, each in its own partition, alongside Windows 7 on my laptop - using EasyBCD to keep the original Windows MBR intact and with each Linux distro's Grub in the same partition as its OS.  It all works fine.

Again with the help of gold_finger's guidance in this thread,  I also set up a shared DATA partition which Lite, Mint, and any other distros could use.  It is located at /mnt/DATA.  I used "chown" to ensure that my username was the owner.  Then in each of both Linux Lite and Linux Mint I deleted the Docs/Pics/etc folders which were in the /home area, created folders with those names in the DATA partition, went into the terminal and used the command

 

to create a symlink for each of the folders which I wanted to have shared by both distros.  All worked fine, and in the /home of both Lite and Mint I now have symlinks which point to the relevant folder in the DATA partition, and i am able to save files into them.

All that is background...... to the problem I have now run into.

I have just installed PCLinuxOS into its partition and set it up to boot just like the others via EasyBCD.  It works well.  So I thought it would be simple to do the same symlinking so that any files I create or save in PCLinuxOS can also be stored in the same, shared, DATA partition.

Well, so far it hasn't quite worked.  I decided to do the links one at a time.  So I followed the same steps:

- I deleted the Documents folder in the PCLinuxOS /home;
- as there is already a Documents folder in the shared DATA partition, I then simply did the command in the terminal.

Didn't work.  Some kind of a link appeared in the PCLOS /home.  But the icon was for a "text" (not the usual folder icon), and it had a red "X", and under Properties it said the link was broken.  And the link didn't work.

In trying to figure this out, I noticed two things:

1) Although I had set up the DATA partition, and both Lite and Linux see it, as being at /mnt/DATA/....,  in the PCLOS file manager its location shows up as /media/DATA/....

2) In both Lite and Mint file managers the Properties>Permissions of both the DATA partition and the folders in it are shown as being owned by me (my username).  But in the PCLOS file manager the owner is shown as

Quote:1000 - user #1000

, and the Group (whatever that is!) as 1000.

In an attempt to experiment and troubleshoot, I then did the same command but this time with the different path indicated by PCLOS (/media/DATA... instead of /mnt/DATA).  This appeared to create a proper symlink with the proper icon in /home.  But under Properties> Permissions, the owner is shown again as

Quote:1000 - user#1000

.  And when I tried to save a test file into that symlinked folder, a popup said that I could not do so because I (under my own username) do not have the permissions necessary.

So..... I'm faced with two challenges.

First, if I want when using PCLOS to be able to access and save documents etc into the shared DATA partition folders, do I have to somehow change the ownership of those folders?  But (big if....) if I do so, how do I do so - in PCLOS only?  And will that render them inaccessible or invisible when I'm in Lite or Mint?  I should say that I have the same username, which is /brian, in all three distros). 

Second (although this is really a question for the PCLOS forum) is there another way to create symlinks using the GUI rather than the command line?  I have noticed that if I right click on a folder in my PCLOS /home, it offers me the option to "Make Link".  But if I go to the folders in the DATA partition while working in PCLOS and right click, the "Make Link" option is greyed out.

The questions seem a bit complicated.  Perhaps the answers are nice and simple.  I live in hope!

I meant to ask this but I wanted to see if I could find the answer first, but alas, no success.

I can only see New Document, New Spreadsheet, New Presentation via Menu, Office. How can I get the entire LO Apps on my dtop or in the menu list. SM shows them as installed but I don't see them in the Menu.

I do need to use Base.

The Lite Control Center will no longer start on my machine. 
This is a new issue and the control center has worked for me in the past. 
I tried reinstalling through synaptic with no success. 

When run in terminal I get the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/litecc/litecenter.py", line 11, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gtk as gtk
ImportError: No module named 'gi'

Did I accidentally remove a gtk lib? Which one?  How to restore it?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
