The command below should clear the recent array.

Code: [Select]

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /plugins/plugin-10/recent -rThe plugin is 10 on all my LL machines, but it's easy enough to check and change if neccessary. I think we should keep it in.
Also does restore the panel work?

Etcher and Telegram both show up as installed apps (according to the lite-software app) but they aren't really installed, or something strange going on.  I never used Telegram but like having the Balena Etcher app in there.  Hopefully it will be in the final release.  It shows up when you choose the  "Remove Software" option but then it says "No Application was selected for removal" if you try to remove it.  Strange.

Found 2 new bugs to fix in 7.0
Etcher and Telegram show in Lite Software, Remove Software. Fixed for the final.

I've noticed the absence of Telegram but never crossed my mind to look into the "Remove". On a fresh install, it seemed pointless.
Thanks for the info!
Etcher, on the other hand, was at its proper place. That is really strange. I installed it, just to test how the applet works.
I usually install at least Etcher and SimpleScreenRecorder. Wanted Telegram too, but since it was missing I thought maybe in the 7.0 final, would be replaced with something else.

I noticed a small bug / glitch when using the new lite-tweaks file Jerry.  Not a huge deal but the checkmark icons you have in the script might not show up correctly in the original version.  I've updated the file so, hopefully, that won't happen with this version:

https://digitalhemi.com/files/apps/Linux/LL7-RC1/lite-tweaks

I especially noticed the problem when running the browser cashe cleaning tweaks (Firefox and Chrome).  The checkmark icons showed up in Zenity as "ee-^e" or something bizarre like that.

We'll be using @sqwuade lite tweaks file, thank you.

zenity how has webkit disabled in the newer Ubuntu packages, so we put a mark hold on zenity and zenity-common

The same thing can be done by just right mouse-clicking a Recently Used App icon and selecting "Clear Recently Used"

True but that's a little PATH wonky too. The right click function should really be on the main button "Recently Used". Also PATH wonky "Whisker Menu" is grayed out in the right click menu option and instead right click Properties takes you to Whisker Menu. Both are XFCE quirks not Linux Lite but I wonder if it's related to allowing for right click desktop menu. XDG? Which we could live without on Linux Lite.

On another note did restore the panel work for you after removing whisker menu references from tweaks?

Installing Linux Lite / LLOS 6.4 install on USB will not boot.

« Last post by LarryB1607 on May 20, 2024, 08:10:07 AM »

Extracted iso to a freshly formatted USB drive.  All operations were successful.  I can see all items in the drive in both Windows and LLOS 5.8.  Macrium Reflect does not see the drive and Gparted sees the drive as unallocated.  The drive was formatted in both NTFS and fat 32 with the same non bootable results.  I have never had this issue before and boot LLOS 5.8 from a USB external HDD.  This same USB drive had Ubuntu Cinnamon installed on it last month and it booted fine.
