Hello from meekee in North London UK

This is by no means an offical thing, but as a side project been trying to find a cool way to check for updates (without sudo lol). And it's fun to make my own stuff lol. Gonna post progress (and code later this week) as I go along. Maybe a few people are interested in testing it out down the road. For now tho a fun screenshot.







Whats really fun here is I can get the count of new packages with no sudo. No fancy stuff really. But atm this is only at startup. Gotta add a timer, and most likely manual execution of the update check.




Again I stress this isnt an offical tool, just has linuxlite in the about because why not lol.

Getting this error when trying to remove Firefox Cache:



Here is a brief overview of the desktop:

i have ubuntu currently installed and need to install linux lite without benefit of a usb or cd, in otherwords, it has to be installed from a down loaded file without resorting to a boot from a usb or cd.  Is this possible.

Trying to install 2.4 on a new SSD.  I'm getting through the actual installation but when it automatically reboots, it hangs up.  I get the screen with the feather and the progress bar.  The progress bar makes it all the way to the end then.....nothing.  I've tried a few times with the same result.  The last time, I took a shower and shaved while waiting and nothing had changed.  If you hit ANY key (not the "ANY" key), it reboots into nothingness (black screen).  I've d/l'ed it twice.  First time was a torrent and burned it at whatever speed it automatically burns.  The second time was the regular d/l burned at the slowest speed allowed (4x, I think).

Any thoughts?  I'd like to install this on my new SSD although it won't really hurt my feelings to wait a couple weeks and try installing 2.6.

Hi,
Possible bug in LL2.6 beta.
1. Installed LL2.6 to a 32GB usb stick
2. Installed many programs.
3. Used Systemback to create a live usb image and converted it to an .iso image.
4. Moved and saved the image to my internal HDD.
5. Re-Booted and checked 32Gb install. Everything OK.
6. Used Systemback to create a live DVD, which finished correctly.
But
Both my original install to the 32Gb stick and the newly created live DVD are now missing
the icons for volume and Bluetooth. In their place is a section titled “no indicators”.
Also the network icon, which was originally positioned in the spot where the “no indicators” now appears, is now positioned between the keyboard and battery icons.

All my installed programs work fine and no other glitches have been found.
Has anyone experienced this bug and how do I get back my icons in place of the “no indicators”.

Also in the beta version, I noticed that when installing to the 32Gb stick, the first install info screen still refers to ver 2.4 and not 2.6. Only minor and probably easily fixed.

BTW, ver2.6 is fantastic.

Looking for a great way to keep Notes, create simple e-books, keep code snippets or just about anything you need to type/paste/save/file..??


Try Cherrytree, been using it now for just over 18 months, a life saver for notes and with it's search feature,
just type your notes, and find all refs in the future. I've only scratched the surface of using it.


Install via Menu > System > Install/Remove Software search for Cherrytree (it is now kept at latest version)


and if you still use Windows, there's a version available also.
So keep the file in a shared location, and access it from LL & Windows

Using  Terminal I get

Quote:colin@colin-NC110:~$ wine wordpad
fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet
colin@colin-NC110:~$

Word Pad eventually opens OK but ---Will this cause any problems later eg Printing and Saving .


Is using the Terminal the only way to open Wine Wordpad - there is NotePad in the  > wine  > Programs > Accessories > Notepad but not Wordpad 

I recently installed Linux Lite (dual boot).  I can access the Windows XP document folder but am wondering how to access the other original Windows desktop of the dual boot?  My printer won't work with Linux but am wondering if using the old XP (Windows) desktop I would be able to print as usual?
