I would like to upgrade the operating system on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop to 2.6 if possible and need some help. I think that this computer meets the minimum requirements but from what I have read I can't upgrade from this older version 1.0.6. So I think that I would download the ISO and boot from the flash drive and install a replacement version. That sounds easy enough but I am just a bit nervous and could use some advise. I take for granted that all added programs and files will be lost during this so I will save all I can and reinstall later.

Advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Les

Has anyone recently noticed instability in Libre Office - particularly regarding writer and calc.  Since recent updates I have found that s  when saving documents spreadsheets they do not open without going through a recovery process - and even then several  come up as a non recoverable file.  Only just started having problems in the last few days.  I have been using libre office as my main office workhorse for many years both on Windows and on LL without problems.

Just to be sure I have completely deleted libre office , using synaptic.  Shut down the computer, rebooted some minutes later and then reloaded libre office from synaptic , installed updates to be sure all is current etc.  Same issue.

Thanks

Is there a way to make .desktop files executable by default? I like to drag web page links onto the desktop, and if possible would like to avoid having to convert each one to a trusted executable before I can launch it.


Blessings.

My Dropbox panel indicator disappears whenever I close and reopen the laptop lid.  Nothing is set to suspend or hibernate when the lid closes.  I created a launcher to refresh the panel when this occurs.  The command I use for the launcher is lxterminal -e "xfce4-panel -r".  I'll continue to use this as a workaround, and I'm passing it along in case others have the issue.

Hello everyone,
I hope you guys doing well.
I installed Linux Lite 2.6 on my Dell Laptop and being happy with it ^ ^
