  Goodbye Win10, Hello Linux Lite
Posted by: Derfdog - 04-09-2017, 10:48 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (7)

Got tired of Windows and their blessed updates that seem to break stuff.
Been trying different distros for the past 3 weeks going through about 6 different versions, really liked Mint but it seemed so slow on my system.  Had high hopes for Puppy Slacko 64 bit because it was fast, but I was having graphic issues that could not be resolved as a newbie linux person.
Tried Lite 3 days ago and it clicked.

Thanks
Derfdog

  LL 3.2 64bit Attempted Upgrade to 3.4 - States already on latest release
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 04-09-2017, 10:06 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (10)

Have been running  a fresh install of LL 3.2 64 bit.  Installed  just prior to 3.4  final release

Confirm updates installed before upgrade attempt.

However this desktop HPdc7700p is not playing ball.  Just gone through cycle again - update then attempt upgrade.  Says running the latest release.

Not a problem.  Just pointing it out just in case there is a bug somewhere.

  Linux is hard to Use
Posted by: Jocklad - 04-09-2017, 09:12 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (15)

About a month ago I built a desktop for a very elderly friend.

He had never used a computer before in his life.

I installed LL 3.2 on it and spent a couple of days with him showing him how to use desktop/email/browsing ect.

Went to see him yesterday to upgrade him to LL 3.4 and asked how he was doing.

He is emailing his grandchildren surfing you tube ect.

Yes..........Linux is hard to use.  Smile

Posted by: TMG1961 - 04-09-2017, 07:29 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (25)

Today i got 2 mails that a reply was made on a topic i was watching. hen i clicked on the link in the mail i got the following message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forums/other/windows-opened-not-appearing-in-the-center/new/ on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I got the message from both links. I was logged in to the forum. I managed to get in after closing windows and trying again.
Not sure what the problem is but i had it before. Thought i just report it this time.

  Windows Opened, Not Appearing In The Center...
Posted by: PinStripe - 04-08-2017, 03:25 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

... I have the window placement set on 'Center' in the settings, which should mean that any time you open a window such as the File Manager
it should open right in the center of my screen... Right?  Well, it does not. It is always opening in some corner and need to drag it into the center.

Can this be fixed to do what the settings SAY it should do?

If you are working on your own wallpaper creation and need a Linux Lite feather overlay with no dark halo, you are welcome to use this one. It is a transparent png file that you can right-click on and save.

I've used it on my desktop wallpapers in seven choices of color. Here's the blue one:

  xfce4 terminal
Posted by: barnaby - 04-06-2017, 12:26 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

I installed LL some time ago. Very pleased. One thing I have changed is the terminal screen. I prefer the xfce4 terminal, so I have installed it and use that. When I want to use the terminal I have set up a shortcut to go to the new one. However, when I am using Thunar and ask to 'open a terminal here' I get the original terminal screen. Is there any way to make it open the xfce4 screen instead? Thanks.
