Hi All,
Has any one else had problems trying to do updates after installing Linux Lite 2.2?
Every time I try to run an update either through Menu->Favorites->Install updates or open a terminal window and do a sudo apt-get update it points to the site http://repo.steampowered.com.
Why would updates for the Linux OS be coming from a gaming site?

I think it would be nice to know how many people are actually using Linux Lite. So I thought I would suggest a LL user counter on the forum to keep track of the number of users, or the number of computers it is used on. Just a thought, it would help developers see how far the distro has reached in my opinion.  Smile

How does one change the login startupsound.wav to something else.

I opened the boot folder (as administrator), copied another wav file to the folder and pointer the login path to this file in system settings. Now there is no login sound at all. Renamed the original startupsound.wav file to startupsoundold.wav and my new one to startupsound.wav. Still no go! Just pointing to a new wav file does not seem to work.

Anyone know how I can get my original startupsound back or indeed change to something of my choosing.

Thanks

Hi,

Am referring to UNLIMITY's question and misko_2083's reply in regard to update notification in this post:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/off-t.../#msg13041

Does anyone know whether Synaptic's update notification (-> Settings -> Repositories -> Updates) is actually working respectively why not? It would at least cover security updates. Also don't know why "When there are other updates" options are deactivated.

Wouldn't that feature mainly cover what UNLIMITY has been asking for? For a good reason Smile

Hi folks,

I have an interesting issue crop up this evening.....I was changing out my dual screens and switching them around. Everything seems fine with all apps excepts one wine app i run. For some reason, after the splash comes up on the main monitor, the application never shows up. It is visible in the task manager as running, but is not visible on either monitor. I have tried shifting the monitors around in the Nvidia set to try and find the app, but cannot locate it.

Anyone have some ideas had to get the app back on the main monitor.....or at the very least force wine apps to run on the main monitor, so I can find this app? ???

Thanks.

Ken

Just as a matter of interest, do the gurus behind each distro ever "talk" to each other. I get the impression that in some areas LL is having to reinvent the wheel as it were? My usual comment that the default set up process for Mint & Puppy  means that keyboard & Language work straight off, and the problem with Google Earth and video card drivers does not raise its head.  This is not meant to be a criticism but  hopefully a helpful prompt??  Says he who has never coded anything in his lifeSmile

Some devs do communicate with each other, remember linux is all about choice. It's a catch22, unify and seek common ground and users will benefit (self explanatory), keep the status quo and the users benefit (give people options). Continued discussion on this best suited to On Topic.

Jerry has suggested that issues brought up in  Re:  Linux Lite 2.4 Beta Released   but would be better discussed here.
