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.

Hello all

you be happy I have a list
I have been clicking about this can be dangerous  :-[
When I use screenshot program it can cut a bit of screen I like to copy but when I save the floating window goes blank and then stops responding. So I use xkill to close as don't always shut down.

So I thought I try update LL see if that would fix screenshot program got this error.

Tried to uninstall but not in list to.

Next one I have change colour of Panel took me a bit of time to find how was looking under desktop setting. I would like to change the clock number to white as they are black and can't see then now also Menu is black texts. I have looked at window manger and setting but hoe long to I keep clicking around. Can someone pint me in right direction please.

Last one I would like to have my Window to snap to side of screen like in Win 7. I looked at Google found talking about Aero Snap.

Is there something I can tick on in LL to get this or if I follow step will this work in LL as it's for Ubuntu or is there a better way ?
