While easy to add it on my own, I'd recommend adding a default Whisker Menu shortcut in the distro.
For others interested, I went to Keyboard settings and in the Applications Shortcuts tab I set the Super key to the command xfce4-popup-whiskermenu. Now I can quickly press Super and begin typing an application name.
Almost daily I encounter a new problem with Linux Lite.
Today I decide to play Christmas music saved on my external hard drive and get the following message:
No suitable decoder module: VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
Currently installer only gives option for V2.83. This apparently no longer works with IPlayer. It says Version 2.90 is the new version to use. Is there a way to download and install this version with all the necessary dependencies. Tks.
VirtualBoxImages.com has been building and distributing pre-built VirtualBox VDI for over 5 years.

I've been working on this for some time.
This script will calculate USB drive Storage Summary
it's convinient for the USB sticks
It will display what type of files you have on your drive/stick and their size in KB and KiB
Save it anywhere you like, make executable, insert your USB Flash drive or drives and wait until they get auto-mounted.
Then start the script.
#!/bin/bash
# store the devices list
list=/tmp/devices
# get a list of devices
devs=`ls -al /dev/disk/by-path/*usb*part* 2>/dev/null | awk '{print($11)}'`

then

This is a simple Thunar custom action using Catfish but I find it eliminates a couple of clicks. If you are using Linux Lite 2.0 or lower you will need to install Catfish first.
The end result:
![[Image: Ldx8Kbp.png]](http://i.imgur.com/Ldx8Kbp.png)
- In Thunar click on Edit > Configure Custom Actions...
- In the Basic tab enter the following information and select an icon for it
![[Image: QhyzoOx.png]](http://i.imgur.com/QhyzoOx.png)
- In the appearance selection tab, check only Directories
![[Image: Rd5iGV2.png]](http://i.imgur.com/Rd5iGV2.png)
- Now, when you're browsing your drives, you can right-click and find files starting from the location you're in.
Not sure what everyone uses to keep notes but TiddlyWiki 5 is looking pretty nice. I've been using it for a while now - works great. I was a bit obsessed about finding the perfect notes app for a while and stuck with this for a few reasons:
- Single file is easy to backup
- TW has built-in encryption if you wish to use it
- Almost every OS has a browser so the file is always accessible
Hi
I just installed Linux Lite 2.0 32 bit
I thought I read somewhere that L L includes Google Chrome and Netflix. Do I need to add more software or did I download the wrong version of Linux Lite?
PS the ability to run Netflix well is just about the last reason I have to hold on to Windows in any form.
Hi Guy's. I had set up my printer, a Cannon Pixma ip3600 and expected it would work without problems. LL installed my printer without hesitation. But no matter what I do I cannot get it to print anything out for me. All I have got is a flashing oramge light telling me that something is not right. But what? In XP I was able to find that same photo and print it out beautifully, there being no orange fault light flashing and no hesitation either. Could it be the driver? Maybe I need to download a Linux driver? But which one and where from? If any member could point me in the right direction, then I would love to hear from them. Regards Walt.
