Was trying to remove mugshot and name from top of Whisker menu and I think I somehow messed up something - I can't remove the generic mugshot - first I unchecked it @ properties settings...and after reboot was still there - I think I inadvertently deleted the profile name. If I click 'about me' in settings menu, I get nothing now. The generic mugshot is still there tho.
However, in the user manager' I'm still listed. still trying to remove the mugshot. Don't know if I need to re-install or recover something.
A friend of mine has Ubuntu 14.04 installed on his ageing Acer laptop - it's going OK but he wants an OS that has a familiar "feel" to Windows XP or 7. I've mentioned LL and I'm going to suggest LL 2.4 32 bit to him. Can somebody advise the best method to fully install LL 2.4 on to his laptop? I was going to try a live USB first but I'm not sure how to go about it.
Thanks in anticipation.
CDemu is an alternative for Windows apps like DAEMON Tools Lite.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cdemu/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cdemu-clientThis should also install a gcdemu (a GUI for CDEmu DAEMON), if not, you can install it later. After installing CDEmu, it will automatically add a virtual drive to your system.
I found CDEmu already creates an entry in the context menu, co a custom one isn't needed.
CDEmu is a real virtual drive, and supports multi-track CDs.
You can use Jerry's tutorial below, if you need to mount a single-track images as a "file system".

Sorry to be a PITA, but the upgrade process clearly doesn't work for me, and I don't see how it even could. Here's a bit from lite-upgrade-series2. Note that it is executed without sudo. The first call it makes is MKDIRBUPS, again without gksudo. It tries to create a backup directory under /etc/skel, which is owned by root and is not publicly writable: drwxr-xr-x 21 1000 root 4.0K Dec 1 01:57 skel. So, it is either my permissions are off or the upgrade script is broken. I have everything updated and upgraded. What should I do?
# Set functions for non-root execution
# The ones that need root go to the other file: lite-upgrade-system-series2
MKDIRBUPS() {
echo "#Creating back up directories..."
sleep 2
mkdir -p /home/$USER/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi
mkdir -p /etc/skel/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi
}

Just as it says in the Subject.
I was delighted with v2.2 but thought a fresh install of 2.4 (64 bit) might delight me even more. So I downloaded and installed it. Actually a full install into a 32g USB stick from the live version, using 'something else' - separate partitions for boot, root, home, etc.
It then booted just fine, calling itself 2.4 on the boot loader.
I then went to 'install updates' and did so. No errors reported. Unfortunately I then shut down and attempted to reboot. But Grub now showed v2.2. And, of course, it won't boot.
Now, folks, is it just me - or did one of the alleged updates bork the Grub file? Or something?
Do I need to install afresh (avoiding updates for a while) or is there something a not especially linux-knowledgeable guy can do...?
Hi
I'm not sure if this was posted allready. Haven't found it.
I just wanted to run the Intel Graphics Installer and it told me the Distribution is not supported ???
The last time I did it right after installing Lite it worked just fine.

Hi -- Up to last week, I was using Krita in LinuxLite 2.2 on my Lenovo ThinkPad.
With the release of LL 2.4, I decided it was time to do a clean install and get rid of my Windows XP dual-boot. So I did, and now LL has my entire hard drive to itself. So far, so good.
Now I want to re-install Krita. In Synaptic Package Manager, 2.8.5 is the latest version listed. I'd like to install Krita 2.9, so I followed the Ubuntu steps on this page (adding the Kubuntu backports repository):
https://krita.org/download/krita-desktop/
When I launched Krita I get a "Critical Error: Essential application components could not be found", and the title screen behind it seems to say version 2.8.5.
I was hoping for Krita 2.9, so I found instructions on this page:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015...ntu-14-04/
...where it says I should "install krita-2.9 krita-2.9-dbg". But when I do, it says it can't locate either of those resources.
I'd settle for a working copy of Krita 2.8, so I've also tried uninstalling the Krita packages with Synaptic, and re-installing with Synaptic, and I still get the Critical Error when I try to run it.
I feel stuck. I'd sure appreciate any help! Thanks.
