Any timetable for including an updated version of LibreOffice?

Current version appears to be 6.4.3.3 which has a nasty usability gap in the print dialog for LO Writer when used on 1024x768 or smaller screens (the print dialog is too tall and you can't click OK to... actually print!).

LO developers say the fix is in 6.4.4 but that doesn't seem to have rolled out yet.

Or is the alternative to uninstall the version that comes with LL and then download and install the .deb and fix up all the paths etc.?

So the WiFi doesnt work

I am kind of new to Linux. I experimented with it in 2017 but have now fully gotten back in to it. I run PopOS on my main desktop, Lubuntu on a slow laptop and was trying to install Linux Lite on my 17" i3 laptop, because running Windows is possible but slow (and the laptop isn't being used, so I saw it as an opportunity to mess around with Linux Lite). The only problem is that it doesn't want to connect to the WiFi. When I connect I can enter my password and it says connected, but then in the bottom-right the circle keeps spinning and later is says " disconnected" ... I have tried searching the internet but the commands shown don't work. Can someone help?

Edit: Just installed Linux Lite on another laptop, and that one is able to connect to the WiFi.

Hi all,


Sadly LL right now is a bit unusable to me.
I had to switch to Chrome a FF is completely broken. After starting it I get an unresponsive window and closing it again gets me the Mozilla Crash reporter.
I installed Chrome through Lite Software but now updating throws this error:

please i would like to know why VLC 3.0.9.2 version on Linux Lite? Please i would like to know why VLC 3.0.11 version on Windows? im confuse

I don't need antivirus unless i use Wine is that correct?

Trying to use this procedure I found online:

I know this is from a Linux Mint forum, but not sure why it would not work as the base is still Ubuntu 18.04.

Here are my terminal errors:

I usually make appearance changes in userchrome.css, but that does not apparently work with this version of Firefox.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

Greetings!  Relatively new user to Linux, I worked with Mint for a year but when my hard drive hosed I decided to give Linux Lite a try and I must say I am very impressed.  So far everything is working well but I have one minor annoyance which disturbs an anal-retentive individual such as myself.  After installing everything I did when I normally did when installing Linux Mint and other distros, I installed Libre Office forgetting the Linux Lite had it.

To my surprise, when I click on Menu->Office I see TWO listings for Word Processor, SpreadSheet and Presentation.  Everything works superbly but this is just a minor annoyance.  I see that I can HIDE the icons but my concern is that if I tell it to hide one of the
Word Processor listings....both will do so.

Any suggestions?  Thanks for reading.

Hi!
I like very much the Update notifier!
Problem is the "Install Updates" option, is disabled (grayed). Why is that so?

The program/script  /usr/bin/lite-updates works fine for me (I put it on a button) so as I see, all it takes is to put the command on the menu item.
What could possibly happen if this would be enabled?
Worst case scenario is it does nothing.
Thanks in advance!

[Later edit, problem [SOLVED], 23-Jul-2020]
Problem consisted in a bad predefined binary for updates installer.
After installation, we need to:

1. Left click the tray icon;
   
2. Click the "Preferences..." menu item;
   
3. In the dialog, insert the following command: [b]
   

Tras instalar Linux Lite en mi portátil no dispongo de conexión a internet por WIFI. La contraseña está correctamente guardada ya que se solicitó durante la instalación pero el pc no se conecta a internet. Utilizo un conector USB TP Link TL-Wn725n y tampoco se conecta. He probado con el dispositivo USB y también sin él y no hay solución. Solicito su ayuda por favor.

I have just installed Lite 5.0 (a clean install) on a new build PC using old parts and it seems to be running rather slow, for example if I shut down Firefox and click on Menu, it can take up to 10 sec for the menu to open. It is as if Linux is using the hard disk to shift data instead of RAM.

When I use the drives icon and try to open the hard disk I get an error "Can't mount file". Is this normal? When using the Disks app to look at the hard disk partitions there is a FAT32 partition there even though I used the option to erase the disk at install.

I'm afraid I am finding Linux very strange after being a Windows user for a long time and my experience with the command line is very limited so please be gentle with me. BTW, I have searched the forum for answer to this stuff with no luck, but that could be because I don't understand the replies to the posts!
