I am curious if there is any hope of getting a Canoscan 3200F working in LL.....my daughter has one she would like to use, but I have read of severe lack of support for any scanners related to Canon.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ken
How to watch Bt sport on linux lite (You have to have a BT account)
I found this on a Ubuntu forum.
Open terminal and copy and paste each line and press enter.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight
sudo pipelight-plugin --list-enabled
sudo pipelight-plugin --disable silverlight5.1
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight5.0
It takes a while to install and you may have to enable Silverlight plugin on the BT Sport Website after logging in but it works for me.
Yesterday I was receiving this repository error (or some version of it) for most of the day on both LL 2/64 and LL 2.2/64 in virtualbox.
Quote:Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/di...4/Packages Hash Sum mismatch
Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead
The fix that ended up working, so far, is to reapply Google's signing key
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -So far I've only needed to reapply the signing key to LL 2, the problems with LL 2.2 stopped on their own.
Looking to give people a way to upgrade, interactively and easily. The upgrade will ONLY be applicable for LL series releases ie. You will be able to upgrade from any version in the 2.0 - 2.8 series, but not from the 2.0 to a future 3.0 series.
This feature has been requested a lot. The script is in it's infancy, there is still much to do. If you'd like to test do the following:
1) Do a fresh install of 2.0 to a Virtualbox.
2) Make a file called lite-upgrade and make it executable.
2) Copy the script to /usr/bin
3) Click on the Whisker Menu and type in: gksudo lite-upgrade in the search box. Follow the prompts.
Of course I welcome code contributions and suggestions 
This is what I have so far:

Jerry, et al., is there a version of the feather without the black background? While I was able to remove the background in Gimp on the wallpaper I made recently, it wasn't as crisp around the edges as I would have liked. A transparent version would be very helpful when making artwork.
Thanks!
Hi Guy's. Got a nasty surprise when I switched on tonight. Went to find a page that I had bookmarked in Firefox and find that everything has disapeared. Just like that! Does anyone know what I can do to retrieve the bookmarks toolbar? I am very unhappy that all my precious bookmarks have gone into thin air. Hope you can help me out on this one. Regards Walt
GRUB2 is able to directly boot ISO's and I use this feature often, but LinuxLite does not work.
Add the menu entry as shown:
menuentry "LinuxLite ISO" {
set isofile="/linux-lite-2.2-32bit.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,2)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.gz
}The ISO boots but produces lines stating "Can't open /dev/sr0" and "/dev/sdb" then "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
Looking for help on other forums, I found this topic that describes the problem accurately and gives a solution:
http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/node/197
Quote:I notice that I didn't include lupin-casper:
Description: Add support for loop-mount installations to casper
I am adding that package to the iso image and will test that....
That worked!
Can this fix be included to the LinuxLite ISO too please?
In this tutorial I will show you how you can make a Menu with a Launcher.
It's a fast way of launching Applications and you can easily set paramaters for each Application.
[img height=310 width=564]http://i.imgur.com/QYXPgc3.png[/img]
As you can see in the picture I've made a launcher to open Firefox and Google Chrome.
The launcher's icon has a small triangle that ponts in a direction where the menu is launched.
1. Right-click on the XFCE panel. When a menu pops up go to Panel and then Add New Items
2. Select the Launcher and then Click on Add
[img height=444 width=329]http://i.imgur.com/L90nOB5.png[/img]
![[Image: vyNJqDd.png]](http://i.imgur.com/vyNJqDd.png)
3.Right-click on that icon and select Move
You can move the launcher wherever you want on the XFCE panel.
[img height=294 width=322]http://i.imgur.com/SSwu0EM.png[/img]
4. Right-click on the icon and select Properties
[img height=259 width=317]http://i.imgur.com/f4QgD29.png[/img]
5. Now you can add the launchers
Click on a + button along the right edge of the dialog box.
![[Image: AwnhmbJ.png]](http://i.imgur.com/AwnhmbJ.png)
When a new window opens you can search for applications you want to add to your launcher.
[img height=357 width=339]http://i.imgur.com/3wnLvfP.png[/img]
Select the application you whish to add and click on the Add button.
You can Add as many as you like.
Launcher uses the icon of the first application on the list.
Use the up and down arrow buttons along the right edge of the dialog box to move the applications.
[img height=398 width=329]http://i.imgur.com/HCbVOiG.png[/img]
6. Select the Advanced tab of the Launcher properties dialog box.
Disable the tooltips and and select the "Arrow button position" in the drop down box.
It's labeled as "Default" by default. This will put the arrow over the icon on the panel.
[img height=391 width=324]http://i.imgur.com/KWrmm7x.png[/img]
If you want to add separate icons for regular Firefox and Chrome,
as well as the private browsing option for each browser,
you will have to add a duplicate and then edit the launcher.
![[Image: 0aii0Lu.png]](http://i.imgur.com/0aii0Lu.png)
Select the duplicate icon and then click on the pencil button along the right edge of the dialog box(or just double-click the duplicate icon).
This will open another dialog box.
You can freely change the Name of the application. That does not affect the way application is launched.
Command, however, defines the way application is launched.
For Chrome and Chromium just add --incognito to the command. Remember to leave a space behind %U.
%U means URL, it's used when you drag and drop something on the icon. It tells the browser to open whatever you droped on the icon.
For Firefox use this as a command: firefox -private %u
I'm running Linux Lite on a virtual machine, Windows 7 Virtual PC.
Had I know better I might have used VirtualBox, but as it is I now have all my legacy MS machines in that VM.
Anyway, all seems to be working well, except that the Linux machines have a display resolution of 800 X 600. Exactly the same thing happens with Linux Mint.
I gather this is due to the MS Virtual PC not being very forthcoming with the virtual display definition, and so Linux has to
assume a modest VGA capability.
In fact what the MS Virtual PC uses by default is a Ye Olde S3 Graphics 764/765 [Trio32/64/64v+], which shows up better in the PCI Devices - System Information, rather than Display - System Information. The Virtual Card shows up as having a memory of 64MB (32bit, non-prefetchable), which is more than capable of 1024 x 786, which is what I setup on Windows 3.11 and Windows 98 VM's, using MS drivers, but there doesn't seem to be a Linux equivalent driver.
The original plan on the Linux Lite Virtual machine, and on Mint, was to stop the X server, create an xorg.config.new, edit in the extra resolution mode(s) info and restart with the new config.
The minor detail is I can't see how to stop the X server, and having read a few messages it may not be a very wise move.
So what is the best way to get a Linux Lite configured with 1024 x 768 on a Win7 Virtual PC,
Please, keeping in mind that my Linux skills are relatively novice at present.
