Hi dev folks,

I was wondering, what's being used to generate the various UI stuff needed by LL ?

There are a number of UI generators and graphical asset creators like Qt, Vadiin, and Sketch. Probably a lot of others that are good but that I don't know about. This is an area that I'm interested in learning more about.

Anyway, I wanted to see what's being used and which ones seem to be the most popular. It's one thing to go to a website and read their info but it's another thing to talk to developers directly about which ones are the most popular so that's why I wanted to ask here.

Are all of you working on UI's or is just Shaggy the main person who is doing this ?

P.S. liked the work that was done on the control panel, thought it was really nice !

Hi completely new to Linux Lite thus far loving its speed and simplicity although I run in to this problem 



I click yes to continue

This is the result



Any help 

For several weeks I can not obtain updates. It stops at final phase when it should list available updates. Message is that it can not fetch the list of available updates.

I've got some data in spreadsheet format, from my own tinkering around, comparing LL to other ubuntu-based distros and MS windows OSes.

How do I insert the spreadsheet data into a forum posting?

Many thanks for any help.
Mike

Help!

I have a problem with GRUB loading…
on my ASUS 4211 Netbook. I've been using it without fault for a long time now, and ungraded to 2.8 a while back without problems.

On this accusation I had turned the unit on, and due to other things going on, I left it running for two days without any user interaction. All well ventilated etc. Then finally I decided to shut it down, via the menu and normal shut down selection. But before I did, I clicked on the task bar Software Updates Available, which I've set to daily checks. I normally go though the update process, entering password etc. but on this occasion, for the first time I decided to click on the Remind Me Later option.

When I turn on again, I now get the following on the screen,

alloc magic is broken at 0x43fff0: 10002312
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
Then after space bar press
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
For Realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v1.06 (080222)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.

Boot Failure
Press any key to continue

Which after another space bar loops back to the alloc message again.
I see on the Web there are messages about GRUB bugs, but not sure how this may relate to Linux Lite. I also did a search on this site for alloc magic is broken, but not there.

Now I could do a fresh reinstall, with all the setting ups that are required, but then I'd loose some data files, which I'd prefer not to do.

Problem is I'm still a relative Linux novice, particularly at the low level stuff.

Is there a way I can get into the system, without destroying it?

Thanks in advance.

On my menu there are entries that I can't remove, because they doesn't appear on 'Main Menu editor'. So I want to check the stored file that the Main Menu editor uses.

TY.

Great looking smooth distro ideal for windows co exist will be applying to friends and family

Would like it also to co exist with other linux distros but it seems to want control of grub
using it on my desktop soon to be my server so it will be in sole charge of thjs pc

splendid work thanks team

[size=1em]Following my experience of the somewhat amusing/intriguing 'wobbly windows' effect in Zorin OS, when I last used that OS a couple of years ago, I thought I'd try and reproduce the effect in LL2.8. 
I've installed CompizConfig Settings Manager from Synaptic Package Manager, and have successfully installed the relevant compiz plugins by running the following command:[/size]

I have a usb 3  addon card and it doesn't show up in LL....Is usb 3 supported?

One of Fuji Si1520s has gone to valhalla

Need a tablet (hybrid?) 10.1 inch or bigger screen. Looking to see if I could convert one to LL and cut down apps.  also run more efficiently extend battery life etc etc..
Looking at ebay for used to try.
questions:-
a) is it possible to convert these to LL OS  only.
b) any ideas what make to aim for??
c) A gamble to try or not?

TIA
