At the moment, I’m using Read Aloud and ReadX TTS extensions in Chrome and Edge, which sound much better than eSpeak or Festival—but they don’t always work consistently.

Does anyone know of a good TTS desktop program for Linux that supports clipboard reading?]]>

When choosing this option a pop-up window appears:

Selecting "Install NTP support" results in:

I noticed that Linux Lite is not using the Ubuntu default systemd-timesyncd.service but ntpd. So ntp is actually installed.

So are users expected to just ignore this setting while synchronization has been implemented in Linux Lite by default?]]>

Is it still safe security wise to use version 5.4 ?

How do versions 6.4 and 7.4 differ from version 5.4 ?

It looks like the website no longer has a shop that sells the USB boot drives for later versions ?
So a download from the website is the only option to get a later version ?]]>

Ik heb in mijn Home een map X11 staan in de map bin. Als ik dubbelklik op deze map komt er nog een tevoorschijn met exact dezelfde bestanden als die in de eerste map staan... zijn er zo'n 2945 stuks... In de map X11 staat wederom een map X11 met wederom dezelfde 2945 bestanden... en dat gaat zo 39 keer door... Weet iemand misschien hoe ik hieraan kom en beter nog, hoe ik eraf kom? Mijn schijf in de laptop is maar 128 GB en daar zit ik zo doorheen als dit doorgaat...

B.v.d.

Before the update, my VPN connection was stable and worked perfectly fine. Now, after the update, the VPN disconnects randomly every few minutes.
I've tried different VPN servers and protocols, but the issue persists. I've also checked my firewall settings and network configuration, but everything seems to be in order.
I'm using OpenVPN with the Network Manager plugin. I've also tried using the command line to connect to the VPN, but the issue remains the same.
Here's what I've tried so far:
* Restarting my computer and network devices.
* Reinstalling the OpenVPN client and Network Manager plugin.
* Checking my firewall settings.
* Trying different VPN servers and protocols.
* Using the command line to connect to the VPN.
I'm not sure what else to try. Has anyone else experienced this issue after the last update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have 2 linux lite 7.4 systems and I want to set up a shared folder -- anonymous no logins no passwords no security. Smb.conf is barebones and things work as far as this goes. Thunar grants access on the local system. And somehow I expect that from remote systems as well.

On the remote system, I access the share with Thunar and a popup says Authentication Required and I select Anonymous and the popup goes away and then nothing -- The popup goes away without leaving a clue -- no access, no error message and most importantly no access.

Can anyone help me on this path?

Thanks]]>
