I have a desktop icon/launcher that I've created.  It runs the way I need it to, but I have to right click and choose Open as Administrator.  I prefer a clean desktop, so I'd like to move this icon to the panel instead.

I have done that, but now I don't know how to choose "Open as Administrator" on an quick launch icon that is the panel. 

Is there a workaround for this?

All my machines now on 2.6, including the virtual and notebooks. Upgraded with no problems, just have to remember up update, upgrade, boot, update.

LL is really looking professional now, and if more organisations knew of it, I'm sure they'd seriously consider it. Maybe even including the UK NHS, Government and Police forces, many of which are still paying M$ for XP support.

Still believe the 'Raleigh' should be the default appearance, with it's Windows like scroll bars, but at least it's there for selection, once people realise it's got bars.

I've decided that my present Windows 7 is the last Windows I'll buy, so it's no go to Windows 10, and no worries about having to throw out propitiatory software because of driver incompatibilities, yet again. That's something I don't think M$ ever factors in properly.

Anyway, I have a new home brew machine in the pipeline, based on another Mini-ITX, but with 16 GB of memory,just the 2 TB drive to get. I intend on running LL as the main operating system, supporting XP (without net access) in Virtualbox configured with 2 X 500GB drives. Most of my virtual machine work so far has been with VMware on Windows 7, so hope the intended Virtualbox configuration works okay.

Why am I still going to use XP? ,
to support Winamp, with a large music library. It's the only Windows program I can't do without.

I have a few suggestions that might be useful to forum users.

1. Make the Linux Lite logo at the top of the forum a link to the main website. There is already a home button to get back to the forum main page.

2. Make the "Help" button be a link to the online help manual, which should encourage users to use the manual more.

3. There is a broken link to the Linux Lite Shop, which took me to a search page when I clicked it.

Just thought I would mention these as some newer features like the help manual just seem to be overlooked, and I hate to see such a valuable resource not being used.

hello.
is it safe to upgrade lite 2.6 to xfce 4.12 via ppa repo? 

Linux Lite 2.6 one of them

http://www.linuxplanet.com/news/linux-to...-beta.html

FYI

Installed LL about a year ago now, tried a few flavors mostly Ubuntu based, really liking it.
I've looked through the forums many a times - but recently created an account and a few posts, thought it be time to formally say 'Hello'

Been using Windows since 3.1 and supporting since Win98. I like the day to day of LL is easy to use (familiar) and yet the behind the scenes is a little tricky (still noobish ). I don't think my 9 or 7 year olds really know the difference. Lots of good info and people on here.

Hope I can help where I can and learn along the way!!!

How's it goin' eh? Hi from Canada, where all the men are hockey players, all the women are beautiful, and ever single child is slightly above average

And I'm not the only Peterborough resident to switch to Lite on our older machines. Two at our Linux PLUG have. My 'gift' laptop had Vista on it originally, and this Distro really brings it to life. And Lite always worked well in VMWare, for anyone who hasn't yet tried it.

Polished, easy to work with, solid, quick. Thanks to all those who work so hard day after day to keep it going. Looking forward to just using it and not spending hours tinkering.

Buster in Peterborough.

After installing Linux lite I gained a machine on my network called LAPPY should I be concerned ? I love everything else about Linux Lite & want to stick with it but don't like the appearance on a new machine on my network that I haven't named myself!

Moving my posts from the ASUS thread to a new.

My issue is that I received a blank screen after closing the lid (hibernating) of my netbook.
This 1st post will be lengthy as I wanted to capture the majority of the original thread - lots of good info from misko_2083..

Since its a "laptop" I want to close the lid or after X time have it hibernate after a screen saver. After waking from hibernate , I see the log on screen I can log in then black... Rebooting corrects until the next time.

I've read that it could be lightdm (I think how it was referenced) and/or the screen saver..
I used the following workaround when I want to hibernate..
In terminal (does require root)

Code:

sudo pm-hibernate

I typically leave a terminal window up just having to up arrow to the last command. If I put into hibernate, I have no issues waking.

One of these days I'm going to chase the cause down.... But the above works for the time being.

On some hardware putting the video card in the suspend state and recovering from it needs some special quirk handling.
Read the manual.
try running sudo pm-suspend with some of the quirks
For example:
or
or
All the quirks:
The trick is finding the right combination. It could be just one parameter or several.
When you find the right quirk. Test your system to see if all is running OK.

From the manual, to save it create a file in /etc/pm/config.d/
Name it anyway you like.
containing to make the quirk stick. Just use the parameters that work for you.
Which quirk works depends on your hardware, kernel, driver, KMS settings and the probably the phase of the moon.
Save. After reboot it should work.
You can put the pc to suspend without sudo with dbus-send.

I hear ya, lol  ;D
Issue is with Dell Mini with Intel video, my other Dell with SIS all seems to work fine (I don't close a lid but still sleeps/hibernate)..

Is there a way to see what fails or doesn't initialize - debug or something, I sometimes wonder if its not the driver too..
Just a thought..

Thanks - Didn't know about the manual..

Testing a quirk seems to work initially but after creating the "my-quirk" file it no longer works..
Does the my-quirk file need referenced in a script or ?? (Like adding to grub to activate the file - just as an example)
Can the quirk file have multiple lines of parameters like:
Or should I have a separate my-quirk for each function
I know I can string additional quirks on a line

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

Is this another way to suspend the vs pm-suspend? I tested with by closing the lid

Thanks again!!

Try

Code:

sudo update-grub

Remember to use the quotes " "
Just add parameters without the command
Should work with all pm-utils

Code:

ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore"

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

This is another way, very usefull because it doesn't need sudo.

Thought I'd update.....
This issue is weird  I've tried a few quirks individually... Some "seem" to work but only once...
The only suspends the system - which the system doesn't seem to have to a problem waking from - only a lid closed hibernate.

I can add a quirk/update grub - close lid the system hibernates no problems - after a few I'll press power to wake, I get GRUB, it "thinks" feather bar, shows a tty screen for a second then the log on prompt. - which.. The big IF..
If I get the "this session is locked - redirecting" screen pop up, which then comes back to same log on = it will work..
If it stays on the log on screen and I log on - goes black, needs to be rebooted.
- thus far it seems to work the 1st time after a reboot, after a 2nd hibernate goes black.

I've disabled light locker was able to wake and go thru "waking" and directly to desktop (no log on prompt)

I'm still testing  8) ..

Weird stuff. There is a known issue with lightdm-webkit-greeter that's where the popup window is coming from.
We should change a greeter eventualy. Probably with LL 3.0.
This command will put the comp to hibernation:
As for new thread question, please do so. Opening a new thread would help some folks with the same hardware.
This is Asus EEE1025 thread.

Again hoping this captures the essence of the information - trying not to duplicate too many of the quotes...

Hello

I can't change name and Last Name in Mugshot.



The other issue is this: I created a new user, and when I logon on it, I try to change the wallpaper with one located in /home/"username"/Pictures, but it's no possible. The  wallpapers are in it, but they are not selectable.
