  Android tablet OS upgrading

Can I upgrade my Android tablet from 5.1 to 6.0 using these instructions http://neutab.com/info-detail.php?InfoId=13 using Linux Lite? Maybe with Wine? Will it wipe out all my downloaded apps, etc.?  :-\

Just something I am using lately in all my linux installs.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/...175594453/

This is just a info thread. Support questions should go in the "On Topic" section of this forum.
If you decide to use or try it out. Good luck using it. It is still in alpha stage. Just my personal view on it.

I understand this might not be a popular suggestion, but I'm curious what people think about Discourse forum system?

I find SMF ironically not that simple and clean.

  Improve Terminal appearance and add Droid Sans Mono as default font
Posted by: skube - 12-01-2016, 12:25 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

Just a suggestion as I think a little colour (and style) goes a long way in helping new users.

The Terminal is one of the four apps chosen to be showcased on the Panel right out of the box. And yet, it's not that appealing to use and I think it could definitely be more welcoming.

As a better example, take a look at ElementaryOS' default Terminal:

It's cool yet calm. Slightly softer and more inviting. The font (Droid Sans Mono) is a little more welcoming with slightly more breathable line spacing. Colour is tastefully applied and offers hints at discrete information.

Droid Sans is already included in LL so adding Droid Sans Mono wouldn't be too outrageous.  Big Grin

It may be a little thing but if LL is truly trying to appeal to the new gnu/linux user then I would think they would want to make it as inviting as possible.

  Installing new software confusion and redundacy
Posted by: skube - 11-30-2016, 07:57 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (10)

As a new user with a fresh set of eyes, one thing I find really confusing is the myriad of ways to go about installing software.

If I open up the menu and start typing: install

[Image: y8mZEr0.png]

I'll be presented with at least 7 different options to choose what to install.

  • Install Updates & Install Drivers both kinda make sense and seem appropriate
  • Install RELEASE however seems out-of-place since I've already installed
  • Install/Remove Software seems ok and self-explanatory but appears to make the next three options redundant
  • Run Install offers no clue to what it does
  • Lite Software seems like it could be a tab within Install/Remove Software
  • Software & Updates perhaps simply a poor naming choice as it seems like it should be covered with the very first option

Of all the options, I would think Install/Remove Software would be the one most would choose. And yet after selecting it, the user is presented with Synaptic Package Manager and a very confusing interface.

If the goal is make using LL easy for anyone, especially someone like mom, then I think this process could be more clear.

Just my opinion though.  :o

  Adding items to the menu
Posted by: jeffneedle - 11-30-2016, 06:40 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hi.  Just installed 3.2, 64-bit, fully updated.  I have a puzzling situation.  Perhaps someone can help.

I use an app titled Blue Letter Bible.  The CD contains Windows and Mac versions.  Linux can use it, too.  You just have to change to the BLB directory and double-click on index.html.  Indeed, it works nicely.  It opens in Google Chrome.

I tried to add BLB my menu using Edit Applications.  I fill in the details, but the "OK" button never activates.  It doesn't seem to like .html files in the Command prompt.  When this didn't work, I created a batch file (not the right thing to do, I think), and then a shell script to see if the menu editor would accept it.  No luck.

Can someone perhaps direct me in the right way to add this app to my menu?  Thanks.

  Repair user folder or copy new one from virtual PC?
Posted by: Lite Potato - 11-30-2016, 03:53 AM - Forum: Other - No Replies

When I start LL, there appears a message mentioning lightdm-session and a folder or file named "profile" in the name.

Should I keep working on repairing my settings, or should I start over from a default user folder copied from VirtualBox?

  Multiple keyboard languages
Posted by: zvonkova - 11-28-2016, 07:43 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello,

I have just completed installation, but need to be able to switch my keyboard to multiple languages. I use English, Czech, and German. I can see next to the wifi signal the option for those three languages which I managed to somehow set, although when I select Czech, for example, the keyboard is still in English.

Thanks for your help!
Zvonkova
