Hi,


About 18 months ago I tried to use Wine & Play on Linux, things didn't quite work out, and I got confused.
So I kept one XP box running for a couple of programs, and eventually I virtualised that to run in VBox.


I've now decided to revisit Wine & Play on Linux, this time I looked at the online user docs, but I'm still confused..!!
If I've read/understood correctly.?
You can install Wine and use it by it'self to install Windows programs.
or
You can install Play On Linux(a frontend to Wine) which will also install Wine, is that correct.??


But then I read you need to install Wine, and then install Play on Linux, but then you will have 2 installs of Wine.
Then there was a mention that you need to install some i386 compatibility components first..??


So if I install Play On Linux from "Linux Lite Software Centre" do I have to do anything else,
or do I also need Wine, and these i386 components..??


Hope you are not as confused as I am


Thanks...

I haven't had much trouble installing applications or adding them to the desktop, etc. However today I installed the gnome-disk-utility, and it put a "Disks" icon under Accessories, I wanted to move it under System, and the best I could do was create a new item and disable the old one, no idea how to relocate an icon.

I also wasn't able to find where Whisker stores it's items (I'm assuming they are physical files somewhere on the disk). I know after installing gnome-disk-utility it put an entry in /usr/share/applications/ but I dont know how that relates to the Whisker menu.

Can anyone help me out a little.

I'm using LL 2.4. I installed brightside , but it won't launch. Anyone know how to fix this?

Running updated LL2.4
Running latest Google Chrome.


I wanted to test my Internet connection.
One test was latency so went to this site: http://www.pingtest.net/
It shows the following message, any ideas..??

Pingtest.net requires Java for packet loss testing, but it does not appear to be installed in your browser.

The assistance link just takes you to the regular ORACLE site.
I have installed Java from Lite Software Centre, still the same message.
Any ideas..??


I should add,
never experinced issues on any other site, so it's not really a biggy, I can always just use "ping" in a terminal.

Thanks

Looking forward to the official announcement of Linux Lite 2.6 and a new crop of users to the forum.

I'm running LL 2.4 on an old Dell Dimension 4550 with a Radeon 9550 video card. Seems my only resolution will have to be 1024x768 which makes the desktop icons rather large. Is there a way to shrink them down?

Ok I know....I Know. K3b pulls in dependencies from all over the place.

But I still like to use it for burning and ripping.

Had no problem with 2.2 but 2.4 keeps throwing up errors with sudo apt-get install K3b as below:

ben@ben-Calistoga-ICH7M-Chipset:~$ sudo apt-get install K3b

I'm using LL 2.4. For some reason the little clock in the lower right corner keeps jumping forward in time. I set the correct time which displays for a short while then jumps. Anyone know a solution for this?

I'm using LL 2.4 with a Radeon 9550 video card. I highest resolution I can get is 1024x768. How do I update my video driver to get higher resolutions?

Introduced a friend to Linux Lite, he's a "Hardcore Windows User", He decided to go with Linux Mint.


He's created a couple of programs in Lazarus(?) and some scripts with Thunar to create this Desktop
It remembers things and positions and a bunch of other stuff, to clever for me, it looks like this:
