  Evince can't search in pdf
Posted by: onemansubmarine - 02-02-2015, 08:06 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Hello Folks,

I have a problem with Evince and apparently poppler, since I can't search pdfs created by pdfLaTeX. With other pdfs it works perfectly fine. I searched a little in the net and some suggested to upgrade the libpoppler44 as it might be outdated. However, libpoppler can't be updated in the repo because it is already the newest version!

my Evince Version: 3.10.3
libpoppler44 Verion: 0.24.5

Both came as default in linux lite 2.2

What do you think?

best

  Amigo from Michigan.
Posted by: amigo - 02-02-2015, 02:49 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (7)

Been using linux for several years and have tried a bunch of the distros. I'm a "user" and usually lean towards the distros marked for "beginners'. I've installed Lite on an old Dell Inspiron 530 and so far I'm finding it easier to use that a lot of those listed in the "beginners" section.
We'll run it for awhile and see what happens. First look..... I'm liking what I see.

  Autologin: possible bug report?
Posted by: Hans - 02-02-2015, 07:54 AM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Hi there guys,

After being reluctant to do it, I enabled autologin in my laptop running LL 2.2. For some reason, that messed up pulse audio... I was able to skip the login, but I couldn't watch youtube videos anymore. It kept changing stuff on the sound settings every time I restarted.

I have disabled autologin and everything's back to normal.

EDIT: It's something else breaking the sound settings. I dunno what. Any help, will be immensely appreciated.

Anyway, I thought I let you guys know.

Cheers!

  [Nearly SOLVED] Permissions in Thunar
Posted by: ukbrian - 02-01-2015, 01:38 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (12)

When running the live DVD if I open thunar and I click on a partition in the sidebar it opens and displays the contents but after installing on a HDD and I do the same thing it asks for my password.

On other 14.04 distros the partitions are displayed unmounted but when you click on one it just auto mounts and displays the contents so I'm guessing the permissions ain't being set by the installer correctly.

Also as I've mentioned elsewhere the default keyboard is not being set by the installer it remains set as US keyboard. this again doesn't happen with other 14.04 versions.

I've added the UK keyboard and deleted the US one, rebooted and gone into keyboard settings, checked " Use system defaults" and it returns to the US settings.

Sorry if I come over as being negative but I feel these points should be addressed.

I like what your doing! you have attracted a strong loyal community, well done the team, good luck be with you all.

PS
I keep getting emails when I post a PM and I can't find where to turn them off, I've been through every profile option, I don't find the software very intuitive.

  Changing forums username
Posted by: Hans - 02-01-2015, 07:31 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

Hi All,

Is there any way of changing my username in the forums, other than requesting it from the admins?

I'm a bit tired of being a legendary vampire... however, if not possible that's all fine.

Cheers!

  [SOLVED] Custom Avatar for the Forum?
Posted by: gold_finger - 01-31-2015, 10:37 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (8)

Ok -- I'm lost!

I can't seem to figure out how to setup a custom avatar for my profile on the forum.  Want to change from the default penquin I picked to something else.  Anyone have any idea how to do that?  And is it possible to upload an image to imgur and link to that for this purpose?

Thanks.

  Backups with Redo, Deja Dup, & Time Machine
Posted by: Coastie - 01-30-2015, 07:37 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (5)

I read about Redo in www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=1561.msg11043 topic. I use Deja Dup to back up my doc, pictures, .mozilla, .thunderbird, etc. but not my desktop settings. Not sure how or if I should backup my desktop settings. I have used these backups moving up in versions of Linux Lite.

Is Redo just a different or is it a better back up program. If Redo is in the DVD drive will it back up to a separate writable CD drive? How big of a USB would I need? Does it need a separate USB from the one that Deja Dup uses?

I do have an external hard drive that my iMac uses with Mac Time Machine. Plenty of room but I do not know if Redo and Time Machine will share it.
