  "Official" Linux Lite You Tube Channel
Posted by: Coastie - 11-23-2014, 10:02 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

Searching for Linux Lite 2.2 videos on You Tube found this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Mp_i7...sL3T-IBwNQ with the Linux Lite 2.2 Beta 1 Install Video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSW3VAF7YP8 The installer was "Jerry." Is this the "official" Linux Lite You Tube Channel?

If it is I hope it will soon have an RSS feed so I can keep up with new videos. (I don't have a Google account due to privacy concerns so I can't subscribe.)

  Internet Data Plan
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 11-23-2014, 09:58 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (6)

Hello,

I caught a Channel 5 news story earlier, it took me a while to locate anything about it online when I returned home -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-30166477

The pretence of the policy is it's for terrorist apprehension, and CEOPS to use.
However on the channel 5 interview with Theresa May, she revealed the law will be good because it will

Quote:"allow detection of those downloading copyright infringing materials, without a warrant, being needed and the police will be able to force internet and phone providors, at will , on demand without any reason needing to be given, to immediately supply the details of any user".

The BBC have a different clip of Theresa May altogether, spinning the cover story.

  Menu "Recently Used" cannot be removed
Posted by: mdavies5 - 11-23-2014, 06:40 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Using LL Beta 2.2 and Whisker Menu. Right click the menu icon and select "Properties", go to "Behaviour" tab. There is a check box "Display recently used by default". This seems to have noi effect. I leave it unchecked but the "Recently Used" menu category still appears. Any idea how I can get rid of it? Thanks.

  Google Earth - dependency is not satisfiable...
Posted by: m654321 - 11-22-2014, 05:13 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I downloaded Google Earth from the internet (Debian/Ubuntu 64-bit version) but
failed to get gdebi package manager to install it.  I also used the
synaptic package manager and downloaded the version there in the repository but
without luck there either.

In both cases, when gdebi started installation, the following message is given on
the gdebi window:

"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs"

I then used the terminal  "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" but this failed to fetch and install
ia32-libs.

Any help, much appreciated.
Regards
Mike

  [SOLVED] Saving Settings
Posted by: cypher000 - 11-22-2014, 03:08 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

Hi Thank you all for the help that I have been given to date. It has enhanced my appreciation of LL 2.0. immeasureably. I can now browse the internet with Firefox and enjoying the experience. I have also solved the problems I was having with Thunderbird Mail and am now able to send and recieve mail from Karoo with no bother whatsoever. 
Sadly I am having to re enter all the data everytime I load LL 2.0 and thats a pain. I remember that years ago when I was using Knoppix 5 I was able to save all my settings on a thumb drive and not have to re enter them every time I boot up.  I have a spare thumb drive and am wondering if and how I could do this in LL 2.0.? Could anyone guide me into the details of how to? If I can get these things sorted out I think maybe, before long I would be willing to remove Win XP and replace it with LL 2.0.

  Hello from Virginia
Posted by: davec51 - 11-22-2014, 01:58 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

I installed 2.2 Beta a few days ago and now it's my favorite Linux distribution: easy to use, fast and versatile. So far I have experienced no glitches, though I can't get the weather screenlet to work for my address.
I gave up Windows a couple of years ago, feeling I had no control over the processes in my own computer. I especially  like LL's lack of the paranoia that makes free access to my network files difficult in many other versions of Linux.

  Running windows programs on LL
Posted by: ultrastevep - 11-22-2014, 12:37 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

I started using a dual boot of LL 1.06/W7 SE about a year ago on my netbook and love it so much, i rarely log into Windows....except for when I "have" to.
I have several programs that run on Windows, like Garmin Connect and Itunes, that supposedly have to be run on Windows/Apple.


Is there any way to run these on LL? If i can figure this out, I'm taking the plunge and going all the way with 2.0 ;-)


Thanks,
Steve

  Richard Stallman at Ted Talk
Posted by: valtam - 11-22-2014, 08:18 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (3)

If you've seen some of Richard Stallman's talks, they generally go anywhere from 1 1/2hr to 2 1/2hrs.
This is a great, concise summary of free software, and one of my personal heros in the software world and the main reason why all LL custom software, is free software.
