  Freindly reminder about hijacking threads
Posted by: valtam - 05-16-2017, 01:54 AM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Folks, we're getting a lot of people posting their specific issue into other peoples threads. In the online Forum world this is referred to as 'hijacking'. Sounds like an ominous term but it makes sense.

As a result, Mods are having to split off existing threads into brand new ones. If a member does not have exactly the same issue as the thread OP, please don't not respond. This only encourages the habit. Give a friendly reminder about creating their own thread and continue with the support to the OP.

Thank you Smile

  Installing OpenOffice 4.1.3 on 3.4 ?
Posted by: PinStripe - 05-15-2017, 07:36 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (9)

I am trying to install OpenOffice 4.1.3 myself to LL 3.4. I have also removed Libre Office and have downloaded the Deb files for OO.
My goal is to support OO rather than LO. But I followed the instructions on the site to install and it is not working.

The instructions to install are:

Installing
The software is installed using the dpkg -i command.
1. Login as root or from the GUI, open a root terminal.
2. Type the following command, to install the software:
dpkg -i -–force-overwrite openoffice.org*.deb \
desktop-integration/openoffice.org-debian-menus*.deb

But it does not work. Any ideas?

  A Fundraising Idea
Posted by: Artim - 05-15-2017, 12:00 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (9)

I don't know how much hassle this might be, but I was thinking:

To raise funds to further support the project, maybe y'all could sell @linuxliteos.com e-mail addresses to fanboys (and fangirls) like me!  Even if they were just forwarding aliases, it would be a cool fun way to promote Linux Lite and raise money for the project.

They did this at another site to help pay for their huge repository of cue sheets and dance videos for folk dancers and instructors.  It was just a forwarding alias rather than a full-service IMAP or POP / SMTP service, but it still raised a bunch of money for them.  And it's more pleasant than "would you like to date me" ads like the ones that appear here.  I don't use AdBlocker on this site because I know the ads help financially, but it's supposed to be a family-friendly forum and those ads kinda border on "not so family friendly" and may be a turn-off to parents of kids using LL.

Just a random idea from a random boy, but I hope you'll consider it.

  Thunar - renaming files and folders
Posted by: maxheadroom - 05-14-2017, 09:40 AM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (1)

Today I found out (by chance, after having used thunar for a long time :o) how easy it can be to rename files and folders.
Until today I opened thunar as a file manager and the thunar bulk rename tool. Via drag and drop I "copied" the files from the manager to the tool.
It always annoyed me that the window for the files was very small (for instance when renaming tons of pictures).

I wanted to rename one single file today and pressed F2. By accident two files where marked and the bulk rename tool popped up. No drag and drop necessary and much quicker!
Cool!

  LX Terminal 0.2.0 will not remember change in font size
Posted by: Manuk - 05-13-2017, 07:18 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Before a recent update I used to be able to open LXTerminal then go to Preferences and then the Style tab and change the Terminal font to a much larger size than Monospace 10.  Previously I would change the font size to about 18 and when I restarted LXTerminal the next time, it would remember the font size of 18.  Now a restart and I get that same very small font size of 10. 

A much larger font size makes it much easier on the eyes.

Anybody have any solutions?

  SOLVED -Wanting to extract soundtrack from MP4 and convert to flac.
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 05-13-2017, 01:44 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

I have a tv music video from which I would like to extract the soundtrack and convert to flac.
I believe I can convert the mp4 to flac using vlc
a) I have installed flac from synaptic.
b) opening vlc and clicking on media/convert I have added the mp4 file I am interested in.
c) Clicking on convert/save select convert I have chose flac from the profile option.
d) From Destination for the converted file all I get is a .ts file option

Any advice as to what I am doing wrong appreciated. Tks
