  QuickTime for Windows no longer supported by Apple
Posted by: avj - 04-16-2016, 01:11 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (2)

Trend Micro has reported that Apple is no longer supporting Quicktime for windows, and that there are already two vulnerabilities that will never be fixed.  It is recommended that it be uninstalled on all windows systems.  I just thought I would let everyone know. If you still use windows make sure you uninstall Quicktime.

Just wanted to say hey and thanks for most opic os ever. For years I've tryed to go linux full time and would get frustrated and back to windows I'd go. This doesn't feel like any of the other distros I've tryed but more like full os to me. Right from welcome screen just incredible with the control center and newbie friendly lite tools, etc....Keep up great work and again thank you for it.

  [SOLVED] LL Help Manual - how many printed sides of paper?
Posted by: m654321 - 04-15-2016, 08:17 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

How many printed sides of paper are there in the Help Manual (1 page = 2 printed sides)?

The reason I ask is that I want to buy a display book with plastic pockets so I can refer to the Manual
away from my PC, but need to estimate the size of display book I need to purchase...

Thanks
Mike

  Vivaldi Browser on LL 32bit
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 04-15-2016, 06:20 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

I appreciate it is not as yet. if ever, to be featured as "acknowledge" for use with LL , but I have just downloaded 32 bit and in the process of trying etc.  Initially had frozen cursor but went into startup/mouse and disabled gestures ( both types).  So far seems to be working.  Appears to have picked up pepperflash non free OK without any meddling from me.

Will update:  LL 2.8  Kernel 3.13 32bit

Still getting mouse freezing, scroll works but cursor  freezes at one point on screen -but its "ghost" still moves around - so hit and miss whether icons activate.  Frustrating - but could be the makings of a game??  Smile

Youtube also causes cursor freezing and sound goes to maximum??

  Can't Update
Posted by: Marty - 04-14-2016, 08:09 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

I have loaded Linix Lite via USB and installed. I tried to update from the Lite welcome splash as requested.  It shows the Linix Lite Updates box, I clicked YES. It runs and shows a Updating software with sources, then after a short while it stops and shows an error message " Couldn't fetch the package cache ". Also when I try to use the Install Updates the Linix Lite Updates box opens, I click the Yes and get the same error message. I am not using Chrome. I am using Firefox browser.
Equipment ...........Dell inspiron 531 /  AMD  Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ / 2GB Memory

I want to be able to add software that Lite recommends.  Smile Smile
Please help

4/15/2016 - Just noticed I do not have " Add Additional Software " in the menu.

LL is aimed at XP to Linux cross over user.

Just out of interest, perhaps LL users would like to list their oldest machines running on LL with version and ram ?

  I want to spearhead an effort for better documentation in the projects of LL
Posted by: AdrianKoshka - 04-14-2016, 03:44 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (1)

As many of you probably saw in my brash, somewhat inflammatory first post on the forums, I had some personal issues in regards to the documentation of applications and projects run by LL. I guess it all started when ShaggyTwoDope had me help him fix up some markdown for lite-update https://github.com/linuxlite/lite-updater. Shaggy had a wonderful foundation of a README.md file, and I helped him spruce it up a little, and even since then he's made it even better (e.g. travis-ci integration). I want to start real simple, and just spruce up the README files for the various github repos of linux lite, using lite-updaters' readme file as a sort of template. The readme is rather simple to understand, brief, but has enough information. e.g.

  • Project name (with travis-ci shield)
  • Brief Description
  • Some nice screenshots
  • Depends list (bulleted)
  • Authors list (bulleted and alphabetical)
  • Credits section (bulleted and alphabetical)

This will help LL developers (present and future), because they'll have a short, but concise description of each project, instead of having to go through code and see what is used.

Alongside a standardized template for readme files, I feel a simple changelog would be a nice addition (though to be honest, this is what tags are for in git). So developers could keep track of ongoing changes, lite-updater so happens to also have a very nice, simplistic example of a changelog template, made up my ShaggyTwoDope.

As far as the lite-manual goes...I really don't want to tackle that as of right now.
