Installed DeaDBeeF 0.6.2 and, after experimenting with Design mode and plugins, created a simple layout to match the Watermark Grey theme.

I'm a subscriber to BT Broadband Unlimited andI've had the oddest problem over the past couple of weeks. Every time I launch my browser (any browser) I get connected to BT Wi-fi-with-FON instead of directly through my normal router connection. Even when I try to change it manually via the task bar icon it stubbornly resists - sometimes many times.
Funny thing is that I have no such problem with my tablet nor does my son with his Windows (excuse the foul language) machine. Only on my laptop with LL.
Any ideas how on to fix this, folks?

Hi
I have a philips tv I wanted to connect it to the PC HDMI. The problem is that the pc does not recognize.
Can someone give me a hand.
The pc is an acer aspire 5738ZG.
Hi
My name is Pedro. I am Portuguese. I apologize for my English.
Don't get me wrong, I am a big Firefox fan and have been for many many years. I remember using it when it was called "Firebird" before they were forced to change the name.
But now, it seems like a resource hog to me. In order to use flash you need to use the outdated flash plugin for linux. And when you do I noticed resource usage jumps depending on the page you visit (with flash animation ads, etc). Yeah, you can turn off the plugin and turn it on when you need it, buy why should anyone need to do this. I am sure when the entire internet moves to HTML5 life will be better...but that may take some time 
As most know, recently Netflix natively supports Google Chrome by default. This is GREAT news...something I did not expect to happen at all to be quite honest. I have been yearning for native Netflix support in Linux for years now. Now it is a reality. Not having Netflix in the past was one of the main reasons most of the people I know would not leave Windows believe it or not. I know the Mozilla team has their reasons for not working with the Netflix DRM, but honestly it is killing them. The average user does not care about the underlying controversy. They just want to watch stuff on Netflix. Now that is a non-issue thankfully. Not to mention that Chrome has the latest flash technologies embedded in the browser. No plugin needed. And it feels faster than Firefox.
Again, I have been a Firefox fan for more years than I can remember and I am not a huge fan of Google products....but I have to look at it from a usability standpoint. Chrome works out of the box (without added plugins) for more of the internet as we know it today. It is faster and not nearly as much of a resource hog. It is worked on much more often. It just works.
I think it should be the default browser with Firefox as an optional download. Just my opinion.
Overnight, my menu has changed:

Install LL updates is gone; install/remove software is gone and the LL manual has also disappeared...what have i done now??
This uses the LL artwork banner, 3 photos (added community of Penguins to the rock), all photos used are free for commercial and non commercial use, no attribution required.
On first version uploaded I didn't do the beach very well, ended up re-colouring all of it apart from the seaweed which I managed to retain and blend in, so the sand lost its textured look.
This version has the beach correct, also I managed to get the additional penguin in near the rock from the original rock image.
Font used was "Liberation"

I work so much that I really haven't been able to do much of any gaming on LL2.0, although I have it all set up to do so. I mainly use:
Steam (of course)
Mame v0.154 (with QMC2 frontend)
Mess 0.154 (With QMC2 as well)
Retroarch (emulator frontend with multiple emu cores...plays dozens of systems)
FS-UAE (Amiga emulator, with FS-UAE launcher)
Vice (Commodore 8-bit)
ScummVM (Lucas/Sierra interpreter)
Dolphin (Wii/GC emulator)
And I run it all on:
Pentium G3450 Haswell
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-Wifi
8GB DDR3 PC3-10666 1333mhz
500GB Sata HD (not an SSD)
Another 500GB SATA. and yet another 4TB external storing most games
Geforce GTX 460 (OEM Nvidia)
Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless controller "for Windows" (Plug and play in LL!)
Wii remote (for Dolphin, works great with BT)
The system as you can see is not the best of the best spec wise, but no slouch either. I get pretty solid performance in any OS (Windows 8 or Linux), but in Linux Light it takes it a step further. The performance increase is so substantial that I don't think I could bear to go to another distro.
I basically just wanted to point out that Linux Lite is not only for "old computers". I never really hear people talking about using it in higher powered machines for solid emulation and modern gaming. This is the best distro (ubuntu based that is) for gaming on a modern gaming rig in my honest opinion. All of those extra resources that would have been used to give you a heavy desktop are being re-routed into your gaming experience
Anyone else using emulators in LL? Retroarch is incredible.
Basis of my first try at wallpapers, it's my second try at gimp, I call him "Halloween Buddha".
The original stock image (free for commercial and non commercial use, no attribution required) is of a buddha outline only, in orange lines, on top of a photo of a pier by the sea, you can see this on GimpChat in Halloween thread. I made it a white outline and insides for a future project.
I then made him into a 3d (sort of) instead of line drawing, "Halloween Buddha", it reminds me more of a Demonic or Ghost Warrior sitting in meditation before battle, I made with nice subtle hints of colours through his robes.
I made feather text last week, and also many of graffiti texts , one is shown below, in an online method, then tweaked it in Gimp, change colour resized, added inner/outer colour and etc.
I posted Halloween Buddha on GimpChat today, whilst making the wallpaper I also noticed his head needed reshaping was flat as I cropped too tightly, so this are the only version with reshaped curved head so far.
Finally I made logo of repeated "LL" out of feather text and blended this together and reduced opacity, to make it look like Chinese "style/effect", placing this floating above the magical hands in front of the heart, coz he is a wise and loves LL.
Just different option with/without components of that.

I don't know about you guys, but my 0.8.3-1 broke recently on both of my installs. No data with a ? is all I get on the taskbar.
I checked to make sure using a different location than my small town by using a major city.
Still no readout.
So I went to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1380128
and saw I was not the only one. I completely removed 0.8.3-1 xfce4-weather-plugin from my install via synaptic.
I downloaded http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/i386/x...n/download
which is the .deb for Utopic Ubuntu which is 0.8.3-2 xfce4-weather-plugin
I had previously removed weather plugin from my xfce taskbar. So after I installed the new downloaded .deb with gdebi (with the warning I ignored about a older version available in package manager). I added the new xfce weather plugin. Now my weather is displayed again
in the taskbar.

I am a on the edge type of linux user and I am not afeared of breaking my installs. Running newer packages are frowned upon
usually as it can cause conflicts on upgrading. Me. I do not care as I am skilled at running Debian Sid/unstable installs on my other
gear. So now that you have been warned. That is how I fixed my broken xfce weather plugin.
