  Installing Irfan View
Posted by: jfh - 12-14-2016, 06:59 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (9)

Having successfully installed Linux Lite, I am trying to install Irfan View following the instructions on this site:http://www.boekhoff.info/?pid=linux&tip=install-irfan-view-on-linux
I have copied the .dll file to a flash drive, but I don't know how to copy it to the directory he specifies. I am very new to linux and terminal averse, but I'd appreciate any suggestions how I can complete this process.

  Issue downloading Updates Google Chrome
Posted by: nic - 12-14-2016, 06:26 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hello,  I am new to Linux and Linux Lite is my first Linux experience.

I am having a problem downloading the updates for Linux Lite, when my computer is about half finished downloading the updates it stops and flashes the error message of  "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists."  How do I get it to continue the download, so it can update?

Thanks.

  Win10 guest flickers continually in LL3.2 host (Oracle Virtualbox v 5.1.10)
Posted by: m654321 - 12-13-2016, 05:15 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

I've installed Win10 Pro as a Virtual Machine (using Oracle Virtualbox), on an LL3.2 host, so that I can access my Epson scanner (via Win10)
However the Win10 VM suffers continuous screen flicker when I move the mouse or touchpad cursor - I assume this is due to an 'app' or a 'display driver'. Task Manager does not flicker when opened.

How do I fix screen flicker for a Win10 VM???

  Hello again! I'm back after a bit of time.
Posted by: Gramps - 12-12-2016, 01:35 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

Hello to all here. I've been gone for a bit and now have a different computer. I'm a bit older than last time I was here. I'll be 79 in January. Hope ya'll can put up with me and my questions. I have a lot of them. Had a bit of a fall on the farm last September and broke my arm, that seems to have caused a blood clot. Blood clot broke loose later and caused a stroke. So sometimes I have a bit of a hard time making things work the way I want. Young fella that hunts on my farm fixed up and gave me this computer. Lot faster than my old one. It had Windows 7 on it, now it has Linux Lite, the new version.
My computer is a Dell 1545 notebook that has been souped up a bit. It has a Intel P8700 cpu, 4 GB of memory, and a 160 GB hard drive. Well, I realized I have been rambling so I'll go away. Having a bit of trouble getting some things on it to work right in Lite.

So long for now,
Gramps

  Russian locale installation issue
Posted by: Hanzo - 12-11-2016, 06:34 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Hi to all.

Just FYI.
While installing LL (ver. 2.4 x32 or/and ver. 3.2 x64) with Russian language, installation failing on the last steps.

Don't remember exact error. Something generic. And surely before GRUB installation as system not booting after this failure.
Same hardware, same USB installer - successful installation with en-US locale.
I'm writing now from this laptop.
DELL VOSTRO 1500.

Will try now to change locale to ru-RU and see what happens.

  Various panel questions
Posted by: erve02d0 - 12-11-2016, 03:36 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

I'm having some issues with LL 3.2. I've looked in Settings Manager but can't seem to find the solutions to my problems, which are as follows:

- The icons in the panel must be fixed to the right at all times. I don't have this problem with 2.8 but with 3.2 they kind of "follow along" with the number of programs open. There is a "Lock panel" but it doesn't seem to have an effect on... anything.

- Some kind of boundary/edge between programs in panel. Currently the browser is highlit, but between "Menu" and "Command Line" there is no edge. That'd be nice to have.

- Clearer boundaries on windows. Title panels (where it says "Start new topic - Chromium" or "Command Line") blend almost perfectly when put side by side, it gets a bit blurry or how to put it.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I seemed to have accidentally changed a shortcut. The default shortcut for going back in a browser is erase, but now it's alt+left arrow. How do I change this?

  Password safe.
Posted by: kabonkel - 12-10-2016, 10:12 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

Hi,I try to find a password manager/safe. Does anyone have an idea?
So far I tried " Keepass" on my android phone and on an usbstick with my Windows laptop for work. I dont know if there is something for LL. If so? Is it possible to sync it with my Synology Nas? And how to do that?
I realise that this are a lot of questions, but a direction where to look or read would be much apreciate.
