  Found a build mistake in LL4.0
Posted by: MohamedKhaled - 09-08-2018, 05:01 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

I found a mistake in the recycle bin icon in linuxlite 4.0 it isn't the recycle bin applet but rather a launcher or shortcut to it it is clear because
1- you cant drag-drop stuff into it
2- you can't right click to empty it
3- there is no difference in the icon when there is stuff in it (its always green should be red when stuff is inside)

The fix to this is to right-click your desktop choose desktop setting > icons> tick the trash and it will show on your desktop
not that big of mistake but I really hope it to be fixed in the original disk the 3 points I wrote above are really important for everyday use and to maintain simplicity

  xflux/f.lux
Posted by: osamu.morozumi - 09-08-2018, 05:16 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (6)

I want to install f.lux but it requires an unsupported ppa.  I was wondering if anyone has installed it manually following instructions on https://github.com/xflux-gui/fluxgui and if they had any problems?

  Won't suspend if system is set to lock on suspend
Posted by: Riley Davies - 09-07-2018, 06:41 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (15)

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to linux lite but so far I love it! ;D There is just one problem I have, and that is that my laptop won't suspend when I close the lid. In power manager, I have the laptop lid action set to suspend, and I want it to display the lock screen on wake from suspend. To do this I just thought I needed to tick the option "lock screen when system is going to sleep". I tested it out by closing the laptop lid. I waited a long time and I could still hear the laptop fan running and the light on the front of the laptop wasn't blinking. It works as expected if I untick "lock screen when system is going to sleep" in power manager. I'm pretty sure this is a bug but I'm not sure if there is something I'm doing wrong. Is there any way I can fix this?
I am on Linux Lite 3.8 32 bit.
Also, I have searched the internet and changed many settings and haven't found any solutions.

  Minecraft A game that actualley works (way) better in linux
Posted by: MohamedKhaled - 09-05-2018, 11:52 PM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (1)

so i managed to get minecraft to run in windows 7 on this old setup and it worked with 20 fps which is playable for most people but then once any animation is needed or its the night (zombies spawn and move randomly requiring many CPU and GPU power) the game falls to 5-10 fps maybe even lower but having the game running well other than that fps problem made me search every where how to increase fps i found many ways and many of them worked (some of them are optifine and 8x8 texture pack)
and hey the game now runs at 30 fps with 10 fps at night well that's playable especially once you build a house and stay in it but then its just so lame and 10 fps is so bad so i kept searching and found a webpage (sadly i dont have the link to give proper credit) that tells you ways to raise fps and the first written in bold and red i think says INSTALL A LINUX DISTRO THAT HAS XFCE OR LXDE or something like that and that article made me think if their will be any performance increase when downloading minecraft in Linux i thought there wont be any but i was wrong and i didn't even mention the creepy old GPU card this will stop you from playing minecraft in the future message that only appears in windows and i have pictures

and it just gets better when you start the game the difference is as following
Windows 7 32bit
Code:
optifine 1.7.10 (1.13 doesn't work) with 8x8 texture pack and every animation disabled 1280x800 (20-25 fps during day and 10-15 fps during night)
which is fine for older hardware not whinning but wait untill you read this
LinuxLite 4.0 64bit
Code:
1.13 with no mods and original texture packs but everything turned to the lowest or medium 1280x800 (30-40 fps during the day and 20-30 fps during the night)
and that's even with no mods or optifine , i wonder if it will hit 60 fps after i add all the tweaks i used in windows

Side Note : The way minecraft is made makes it looks good and too close to the original even with the worst texture packs and graphic settings although i set many things in Linux to medium it was the essentials (like useful animations etc)

Another Side Note : the reason i didn't add any screenshots of my fps in windows and Linux is because in minecraft fps can change quickly and it can be faked easily by standing still for few moments or writing a command to remove all animals and zombies you have the right to believe me or not but if you use Linux i bet that you already believed me and guys give minecraft a go its cool and has many very cool custom user submitted maps

  Great distro
Posted by: tuto - 09-05-2018, 05:02 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

Hi.

I am new LinuxLite user and in this community.

I live in Venezuela. My maternal language is Spanish. I am sorry by bad English language use; I am learning it, yet.

In the past 8 years, I test several distros such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, but I loved Debian 6+Xfce. On old hardware PC, I was using Debian 7+ IceWM, and AntiX-13/17, actually.
But this distro (LL 3.8) is beatifull, a good Xfce desktop environment adaptation. 

Thanks you Developers..

  LiLi 4.0 Update Error--not enought room--gparted to extend and now no boot
Posted by: rondi - 09-04-2018, 07:52 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

The subject kinda tells my problem. When I installed 4.0 Live on my FAT32 16gb USB stick, I started with a 6gb partition because that is the max the installer would let me choose. Some how my partition got filled up. casper -rw is over 4gb. So reading about gparted it seemed safe to resize the partition. So I booted my LiLi 3.8 (also on a USB Stick), once booted I plugged in my LiLi 4.0 USB Stick, started gparted, chose Resize--the menu seemed very straight forward. It would not allow me resize the total remaining free space--so I had to leave 1mb a unallocated. There were no errors. However now when I try to boot my 4.0 I only get a blank screen.

I would post some screenshots--but I don't know what would be helpful.
Is there anything I can do to restore my 4.0. or do I need to wipe and reinstall?
tia, Ron

  Mirage Image Viewer in Lite Software Tool
Posted by: Moltke - 09-03-2018, 05:44 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (7)

Could you add Mirage Image Viewer to the lite software tool, please? I've been using it for a while now and it definitely is a very good app with some quite  handy features:

- Supports png, jpg, svg, xpm, gif, bmp, tiff, and others
- Cycling through multiple images (with preloading)
- Thumbnail pane for quick navigation
- Slideshow and fullscreen modes
- Rotating, zooming, flipping, resizing, cropping
- Saving, deleting, renaming
- Custom actions
- Command-line access
- Configurable interface
- Available in many languages

And best of all is not bloated; it loads and runs fast, so I think it fits LL standars. I tried it first when I needed to rename a bunch of image files and ristretto is fine for  viewing but not so much for anything else. With Mirage I open the folder containing the images I wanted to rename and it was as simple as selecting an image, hitting the F2 key, typing in the new name, hit enter and that was it; quick and easy. I didn't even need to reach the mouse for that.  Smile

In case anyone feels like trying Mirage is as easy as open a terminal and running apt-get:

Code:
sudo apt-get install mirage

Here's the link to Mirage's website if you want to know more about it: http://mirageiv.sourceforge.net/
