I installed an earlier version of Linux Lite dual booting with Windows XP. Since then I have upgraded to LL 2.0.
After using it for awhile I would now like to delete XP and only have Linux Lite.

Has anyone here used OS-Uninstaller to accomplish that more easily?

hey i did not always have this issue, but after a hour+ i like my pc to go to sleep mode i'm out of work and low on money so want the bills low.

anyway, everything works fine until i try to play anything in vlc. i can only hear what is playing and the computer freezes. this is a new issue and i'm not sure why it started now, but does anyone have an idea or anything i can try to fix it? it kind of makes the sleep mode pointless if i need to shutdown when waking it every time..

thanks

1. First open the Thunar file manager, select a folder or a file and try to use a keyboard key combination.
This way you will make sure it doesn't conflict with any other keyboard shortcut.
2. Open this folder ~/.config/Thunar
There you'll see two files
accels.scm
uca.xml
3. Make a backup of these two files, Right-click > Create backup copy
4. Open both files with Leafpad and move the windows so you can see both file contents.
5. In the file uca.xml you will find all the info (name and unique-id).
In this file you will se this
<action>
<icon>utilities-terminal</icon>
<name>Open Terminal Here</name>
<unique-id>1399556281403860-1</unique-id>
<command>x-terminal-emulator -t &quot;Command Line&quot;</command>
<description>Open Terminal Here</description>
<patterns>*</patterns>
<startup-notify/>
<directories/>
</action>
Find the Thunar custom action name For example Open Terminal Here.
Look for unique-id in this example 1399556281403860-1, but you might have a different value.
6. In the file accels.scm search for that id
You will find the id in this line:

uca means it's a custom action.
Change it to something like this:
Note that you have to uncoment ';'
More usefull info:
<Primary> is Ctrl
<Alt>
<Shift>
F keys F1, F2...
7. Save the file and log out and back in.
Another example:

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: Move files
Description: Move files.
Command:

Icon: You can skip this or choose the icon of your choice.
5. Click on Appearance Conditions tab
6. In the File pattern enter:
7. Check all the boxes and confirm by clicking on OK.
To use this to move the files from the Desktop you will have to log out and back in.
Now you can right-click on any file and move it to another location.
You can select multiple files if you hold Ctrl.

Just a warning - I am not sure if this is the right place.

I tried to dual boot LinuxLite with Windows 8.1, but had problems with the Grub loader.

I re-installed version 2 of LL, and the installer realised I had another LL already loaded, and asked if I wanted to
1. install using the entire disk (no, as I had W8 already installed),
2. install alongside the earlier version (no, as I wanted to replace the LL version)
3. install over the earlier LL (yes, I mistakenly thought)
or 4. something else (which would have given me control over disk usage).

I chose 3, and the install took the entire disk, wiping out W8 (not a great problem for me, as I have other computers), but could be a problem for others.


So, a word of warning - be very careful when upgrading dual boot systems!

This will be a general problem for all Ubuntu derived systems, I assume, not just LinuxLite.

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!

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:

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:
As you can see, one file/folder per line.
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.

I've found this usefull script on linux mint 17 xfce live dvd. It is licenced under GNU GPL3.
I've managed to make it work in LL2.
Nice script for installing .ttf fonts.



I'd like to see this in the next LL.
The post is too long to show all the instructions...
Here they are:

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:

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:

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?
