  Linux Lite Newb Here
Posted by: Blackfish - 02-15-2016, 11:29 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (5)

Howdy from Thailand!

I have been using Linux for about two years.  I have an old machine (Dell Latitude E5500) which I run Puppy Linux Tahr Pup and SLACKO64 as my main operating systems.  That is about to change.  I need something with full BASH, something a little more robust than Puppy for doing certain things, like running a better text editor, for one example.  Though I will always use Puppy at least in the background.  I am a minimalist Linux distro user--all the way. 

Meantime I have Linux Lite installed to my USB stick.  I will be using it this way for a while until I am used to it.

One thing I have found that I do not like so far is that after installation I find that my calendar and the strftime configuration I use in Geany is being displayed in Thai.  I am sure this is coming from the fact that I am in Thailand and the time and date are being fed to the computer in Thai.  I know it doesn't have to be this way, but I do not know how to change it.  Any ideas?  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

All that being said, I have to say I absolutely love this distro!  It runs wonderfully on my system and it had pretty much everything I needed to start work right out of the box.

Glad to be here! 

Thank you!

  GoldenDict
Posted by: tukkie - 02-15-2016, 09:29 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Hello, I installed GoldenDict on Linux Lite 2.8

I can start GoldenDict, but when I do a search, the search field changes to orange, and I get the following message:

Failure in search order: XML parse error: unexpected end of file at 1,1

Is there anybody who know how to get GoldenDict at work without any failure.

I am not seeing a Select Prefix box in new post or when I try to modify my post when solved as requested. I have tried disabling Add Blocker Plus and Privacy Badger add-ons for Firefox 44.02 but still does not show.

  Dropbox Indicator Not Working
Posted by: zxczxcdani - 02-13-2016, 07:14 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (23)

(Okay, I was about to post this and after I pressed back because POST gave me an error, poof! Gone. Sigh)

Sigh. Now, this is really bugging me after I install Linux Lite. Dropbox's Indicator is not working. I can't right click and even left click, I can't simply interact with the indicator. It has an indicator on the taskbar but it's not working. My LL is installed fresh, version 2.8 and I am loving this distro, but if I can't solve this, I may be pushed to install another one (please no).

  • I tried reinstalling the app but no avail.
  • Tried installing libindicator1, nope.
  • Tried downloading the deb file from dropbox website, naaaah.
  • Also installed dropbox from lite software. Actually, this is the first thing I did
Can someone help me solve this? Here's a screenshot:
