To help view popular Topics with a lot of Posts is it possible to have the following options  to save wading through lots of old posts

1) have the posts with the latest at the top of the list or the option to view " original post " or " latest" first

2) have the go to page dialogue  at the top of each page rather than having to scroll through a page of posts

3) have an "In" Topic search .
If I have Googled a problem etc  and been linked to a Topic I an not directed to the actual post but to the first post . I then have to read though lots of irrelevant posts to find what I want even though the relevant post is quoted in the search results. With big posts it is time consuming and frustrating
.When the post is "Solved" it would be helpfull to go directly to the Solution

Hi everyone,

Longtime Linux user but new here. I tend to be a Debian WM user and it's been a little while since using a DE, certainly didn't think I'd enjoy a system using Xfce but must say, I'm quite impressed with Linux Lite and find it a very responsive, well organized, fast and surprisingly easy to customize distribution.

I'd like to thank the dev(s) and all involved for all your hard work!

  problems with grub boot loader LL 2.8 beta
Posted by: melb1938 - 01-24-2016, 01:07 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

I have a hard drive with Only Linux Distros on it no windows on any of my machines. I have a couple of Linux distros installed and working fine. I partitioned and installed LL 2.8 beta. all goes well until it is finished installing and time to boot. I then get a error message that says Error: File name expected. I can boot log into my other distros but LL will not boot. Seems several are having the same problem. What is going on and how can I fix it. I refuse to install windows. I want to install LL on a slower computer because it is not so resource intensive. If I can't get this issue resolved I will have to find another distro. I would really like to get this fixed as I used LL on another machine which I no longer have.

  How do I change folder names in Thunar to my native language
Posted by: nomko - 01-23-2016, 11:14 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

*edit*
This did the trick: https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#setlang. But only for the Whisker menu. How can i also change the folder names in Thunar from English to Dutch?

  Linux Lite Xfce vs. Xubuntu
Posted by: nomko - 01-23-2016, 12:30 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (53)

Beside the usage of the same desktop environment, what is basically the main difference between Linux Lite and Xubuntu? In what way does Linux Lite differ from let's say Mint Xfce, Xubuntu and other Debian/Ubuntu derivatives using Xfce?

  Suggestion for an addition to the menu
Posted by: avj - 01-23-2016, 04:12 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (11)

I got to thinking about what windows users are used to having available from the menu, and thought it would be nice if the menu had access to user folders like the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and others.  So I made the menu entries on my system to see if it would work. Below is a screenshot of my results.

For the item entries, in the command I entered "thunar" followed by a space, and the folder name of the folder for each item.
Example:  thunar Documents

  LiteOS based on Ubuntu means...
Posted by: nomko - 01-23-2016, 12:48 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I like to try Linux Lite on my daughter's rather old laptop (+/- 5 years old). But i came across some information about Linux Lite. As i'm well familiar with Ubuntu, i used Ubuntu from 7.04 till 10.04.3 and ditched it in favor of Mint due to the (IMO) horrible Unity desktop, i also know that Ubuntu, unlike Mint, doesn't come with full multimedia support.

So, to avoid any disappointments, m question is: does Linux Lite OS come with multimedia fully installed or not? Like to see someone here to can enlighten me about this.
Many thanks!

  Screen Brightness
Posted by: somewhereman - 01-22-2016, 09:39 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (3)

this is one issue that was hard to find a suitable answer for
my screen was stuck at maximum brightness (not so bad during the day, but at night was blinding)

i tried everything i could find on the interwebs,
and there was quite a few suggestions as this is a common issue, all to no avail

finally i found this solution:
open the terminal and input
xrandr | sed -n 's/ connected.*//p' | xargs -n1 -tri xrandr --output {} --brightness 0.6

where 0.6 at the end of the string = 60% of max brightness,
this can be changed to whatever you wish between 0-1 ie 0.8 = 80% of max, 0.4 = 40% of max, etc.

so i simply saved this line in libre office and input it in the evening once and am done,
next morning it boots to max for the day

i hope this helps someone out (it seems to be a catch-all and may ork for any set-up),
as it is a common struggle and can be frustrating
