| Will Linux Lite work with university software? |

Hello All,
I may go back to school to get another degree. My laptop is about 6 years old (a Lenovo R61) and I am wondering if anyone has used Linux Lite with university programs. Most places will either require a Mac or a Windows based laptop, and they usually utilize some kind of software such as Blackboard. Has anyone gone back to school with Linux Lite? I don't want to buy another laptop if I can help it, but I don't want to start a semester with "the wrong stuff" as that will put me behind in my studies.
Thanks!

| How to hide files and directories |

There are two ways to do this:
One is to rename your file or folder and add a dot as the first character in the file/folder new name.
Example:
file -- .file
folder -- .folder
You can do it by right-clicking on the file/folder and then on Rename. I mostly use the F2 key to rename files and folders.
If you want to use the command line:
Code: mv file-name .file-name
Code: mv folder-name .folder-name
The other way is better because you don't have to rename a file or a folder.
All you need to do is to create a file .hidden in that folder where you want to hide your files or folders and type in the file or folder name you want to hide.
Here is an example:
You want to hide these folders Documents, Pictures, Videos, and this file bootfloppy.img. All of these are in the /home/user/
1. Open a file manager, go to /home/user/ and show all hidden files. Click on View and when menu pops out on Show Hidden Files. Instead of this you can use a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H to show/hide hidden files.
2. Right click on an empty space inside a folder and when the floating menu appears go to Create Document > Empty File.
3. Name the new file .hidden and open it. Double click on it or open that file with Leafpad.
4. In the file .hidden you will save file/folder names you want to hide. In this case the folders and a file.
Here is the .hidden file content:
Code: Documents
Pictures
Videos
bootfloppy.img
5. Save it and hide all the hidden files and folders (Ctrl+H).
6. Now all you have to do is to "Refresh" the view. You can do this by clicking on Trash or Desktop and then just go back to the folder, or just close and open the file manager again.

| [SOLVED] Problems with installing/playing native Linux games |

I'm trying to get the Linux ports of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Linux Lite.
I'm following these instructions for RTCW, and I'm using the UK installer from here for MOH:AA.
I had no issues with installing RTCW, although I don't seem to have pak0.pk3, from my wine installed windows version.
I'm guessing because of this, it won't run, here's what I'm getting from the terminal:
Code: Wolf 1.41 linux-i386 Dec 4 2002
----- FS_Startup -----
Current search path:
/home/cobradabest/.wolf/main
/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/sp_pak3.pk3 (14 files)
/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/sp_pak2.pk3 (232 files)
/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main/sp_pak1.pk3 (1342 files)
/usr/local/games/wolfenstein/main
----------------------
1588 files in pk3 files
----- CL_Shutdown -----
-----------------------
----- CL_Shutdown -----
-----------------------
Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg
I can't seem to install MOH:AA at all, I've installed my game using wine, and patched it to 1.11, but the Linux installer still won't run, I'm getting this error:
Code: /home/cobradabest/.setup17309: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Before anybody asks, neither of these games work on wine for me, so after finding out both games have Linux versions, I wanted to try them.
How do I fix these issues?

| Windows mgr and/or thunar problem. Windows chopped non functional |

Not sure what part of the OS or packages are malfunctioning here. Running LL1.0.8
All windows are chopped off such that the right side of the window is gone. This includes the maximize, minimize and close buttons. This is happening on all windows. File mgr, terminal Tbird, firefox, filezilla... everything. I can not access menu functions on R side of windows like the mozilla stuff.
I tried starting in recovery mode and ran repair packages. Didn't work. I tried a system update didn't work. I am wondering if uninstalling and reinstalling windows mgr and or thunar might do the trick, but I don't know the commands to do this.
I also though about reinstalling the OS and ugrading to ver 2, but I don;t know if I have to backup files, which is a problem because I can't see the files that would be displaying on the right side of the file mgr windows.
Please help! I have work to do today and can't
Thanks

| Dual boot w/Win7...Help removing Xubuntu to install Linux Lite 2.0 |

My laptop is dual boot with Win7 and Xubuntu. I would like to remove Xubuntu and install LL2. Not sure what to do. I don't want to mess up the Win7 system as my daughter needs Office and Photoshop for school.
When I installed Xubuntu I had 30gb free in Win7. I told the Xubuntu installer to use 12gb. When it finished Win7 had 8gb free and it used 22gb. Win7 is now a pain with very little free space. So...Could I allocate less space for Linux Lite and grow the Win7 partition a little? Is there a way to uninstall Xubuntu? What happens to the boot loader in all these changes?
My drive layout is below. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
sda1 ntfs 47.2 win7 Boot
sda3 extended 22.2
sda7 ext4 11.0 Xubuntu
sda5 ext4 9.2 Xubuntu
sda6 linux-swap2.0
sda2 fat32 5.0 IBM diagnostic

| [SOLVED]AWUS036H - which software is needed ? |

Hello,
I have this device AWUS036H for connecting to external wifi, it has its own antenna, I also I have a Yagi 25dBi external antenna, and also an internal 20dBi antenna.
They sent with it a printed photo tutorial, this was for accessing none public wifi by various means using a different Linux Distro.
This is not what I want to do, or how I want to use the equipment.
We have some free public access wifi hotspots at various locations, for everyone and also visitors to use. Not truly free as we pay for those services and don't have a choice in the matter as it is a tax.
I wanted to know which software to add to Linux Lite, that will -
1/ display the wifi it can find.
2/ show me which of those wifi are free public access , home or business, so I do not connect where I should not be connecting.
3/ inform me of the distance from my home the wifi connection is, as I want to do various comparisons between the 3 antenna under different conditions such as weather parameters, time of day, location and direction of the antenna.
4/ allow me to connect to the free public wifi.

1. Open the Thunar file manager
2. Click on Edit and then on Configure custom actions
3. Add A new custom action by clicking on a '+' button
4. Enter this in the text boxes:
Name: Check MD5
Description: Computes MD5 checksum for the selected file.
Command:
Code: zenity --info --title="Check MD5 for %n" --text="$(md5sum %f)"
5. Click on Appearance Conditions tab
6. In the File pattern enter:
Code: *.iso;*.ISO;*.img;*.IMG
If you have an .iso or .img file on the Desktop you will have to log out and back in to be able to use this.
Now you can right-click on .iso or .img file and Check MD5.

I seem to be having the same difficulty as Tom47 described on this thread:-
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=741.0
I was also trying to install Chrome and kept getting the following Error notice:
ERROR
"Chrome could not be installed."
I tried the Install/Remove Software work-around suggested by gold-finger on the same thread but Synaptic keeps kicking me out with this:
AN ERROR OCCURED.
The following details are provided
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues and resolved them.
