This is probably not a Linux Light problem though I thought I would throw it out in case somebody could help.
On chromium based browsers such as opera or Google Chrome, hulu and some lectures I have to watch, crash and completely shut off the computer approx thirty minutes into viewing. I must maintain two adobe brands as Firefox uses 11.2.202.468 and Google and Opera use adobe 18. This does not happen on Firefox only on the Chromium based browsers.  Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas how to fix this. 

Firefox has stated they have an upgrade from 38 to 39 but on Linux Light we cannot upgrade till the developers add it to the software package manager. When were you planning to do that?

I was wondering if anyone can make suggestions as to what would be a good Linux distro to try out on my ppc powerbook g4. I'd like to see if I can get some kind of linux going on that machine.

We've now added the Dropbox Thunar plugin to our repo.
If you don't already have Dropbox and the plugin installed, do the following exactly in this order:

Menu, Favorites, Install Updates

then:

Menu, System, Lite Software, Install Software, Dropbox.

This will install both Dropbox and the Thunar right click plugin

On my laptop with a number of Linux distributions. LL installed last, so it loads first and only in that case it detects grub2. When downloaded some still operating after LL, then run it was impossible, though Start LL attended. This, after all, wrote in forum.

But even without installing a new system in other operating systems updates changed settings and to update grub access to LL simply reinstalling it.

He has leadership with 2 grub and understand that it is possible in / etc / default / grub in a row DEFAULT insert name of the operating system for priority loading
instead of numbers.

Will this work? And if so, what kind of name should fit?
I looked in there /boot/grub/grub.cfg something

'Description: Linux Lite 2.4 GNU / Linux' --class description_ --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $ menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-ece57eb7-9bac-4cad-93a0-f2f3d6db2f7f' {

But perhaps there are other ways to solve the problem?
Thanks.

Is there a way of searching text or phrases within Word/LibreOffice or PDF files using Catfish? If not, can anybody suggest a suitable alternative? I know a grep Command can be used in Terminal but it looks way over my head - would prefer something graphical if available.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve got a situation that I don’t understand…

When I try to install LL using a known good DVD (md5 checksum verified) my machine will freeze up during the install. The funny thing is I have used the same DVD to make other installs without any problems, not sure why this particular machine doesn’t like it.

So then I tried using a disk that I installed LL on from another machine, was curious just to see what it would do. It boots up fine but then also hangs after a few minutes of use. Ok ok, I know not to use an install from a different machine, I just was curious to see if  LL would boot up.

I guess I’ll make a USB stick and see if that will allow me to install LL. But besides putting together a USB install stick, are there any other things I can check out ??

Anyone have any ideas on this problem ??

Thanks,

I'm in Linux Mint at the moment.  I've downloaded and started numerous torrents in the past, but LL's torrent is being a real pain in the arse.  I've had this beast running all day....and it *still* isn't finished. Keeps crashing.

What's up?  Am I don't something wrong?  I downloaded it from LL's website.

Setting FF Multi Converter

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ffmulticonverter/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmulticonverter

But the program to work, you must install ffmpeg
ffmpeg and x264 codec so I installed

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg x264

After installation, you will find FF Multi Converter programs multimedia.
It works very well and is very simple.
Yes, of course, hard disk space it requires quite a lot.
