  Feature request for Linux Lite series 5
Posted by: Ottawagrant - 03-10-2019, 09:35 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (14)

In Linux Lite once you have pegged a quick launch to the taskbar at some point you may want to move it. Right now you have to right click the taskbar - panel - panel preferences - items - then find the correct launcher & then use up or down to move it left or right. For the new people, a bit difficult. There is a solution. It's the return of a feature that was in Linux Lite series ONE. (How's your memory Jerry?). In Linux Lite 1.0.6 to move a quick launch on the task bar you right click the icon - select 'move' - go to where you want it on the taskbar - (all the other icons move out of the way) and then right click in the spot you want it. Almost exactly the same way it's done in Windows Vista up to 10. A great old feature that would be excellent for a comeback. Hope it can be so as it would be excellent for new users of Linux, and people coming from another operating system.

  VLC crashes when I try to open a video

  Aegisub App not in Repository
Posted by: Dito Kurnia Pratama - 03-08-2019, 12:28 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Hello, today I want to download Aegisub (http://www.aegisub.org/). Then I open the Synaptic Package Manager, click search, and I can't find the Aegisub. After that, I try installing Aegisub with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS repository using .alldeb package and it works in Linux Lite. I try search the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS repository and can't find Aegisub too. So... My request is... Maybe adding this app to the repository. Thank you for reading my story.

  Windows 10 Linux Lite 4.xx Networking SSH, SFTP, Samba, RDP

I've completed the tutorial for Linux Lite to Windows 10 connections with SSH, SFTP, Samba, RDP, and Remmina. I've covered some basic Windows 10 security for the connections as well. It's intended to be another help resource for new Linux Lite users who want to safely network to their Windows 10 machines. See the link below:

  PPAs
Posted by: Artim - 03-06-2019, 11:48 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

Hi,

[size=1.45em]I'm not a fan of PPAs at all.[/size]  Especially if they offer software that is already available in the Ubuntu repositories (just not the latest version, perhaps).  So I have a question about removing them:

Is it safe to remove selected PPAs that I don't think I need or want?  How much of the essential Linux Lite software comes from a PPA?  Are there essential PPAs that I should not remove or disable?

Thanks in advance for thoughtful replies!

  How do I delete/replace the 'tags' on one of my forum threads?
Posted by: m654321 - 03-05-2019, 06:58 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

I would like to replace the tags on one of my forum threads, so that I can more accurately reflect the content.
After clicking Modify to get into edit mode, overwriting existing tags doesn't seem to work. Also, I tried clicking on the crosses of the tags at the bottom of the thread to delete them, but that doesn't seem to work either.  Sad

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.
