I'm in Linux Mint at the moment.  I've downloaded and started numerous torrents in the past, but LL's torrent is being a real pain in the arse.  I've had this beast running all day....and it *still* isn't finished. Keeps crashing.

What's up?  Am I don't something wrong?  I downloaded it from LL's website.

Setting FF Multi Converter

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ffmulticonverter/stable

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmulticonverter

But the program to work, you must install ffmpeg
ffmpeg and x264 codec so I installed

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg x264

After installation, you will find FF Multi Converter programs multimedia.
It works very well and is very simple.
Yes, of course, hard disk space it requires quite a lot.

Hello all

you be happy I have a list
I have been clicking about this can be dangerous  :-[
When I use screenshot program it can cut a bit of screen I like to copy but when I save the floating window goes blank and then stops responding. So I use xkill to close as don't always shut down.

So I thought I try update LL see if that would fix screenshot program got this error.

I noticed in my menu bar      Install RELEASE  and it says something about installing LL permanently.  Is this the newest release because I have 2.4 which I thought was the latest release.  Sorry to be a pain but I've gone thru a lot just to get LL installed on a USB stick.
Thanks everybody,
Larry

I'm trying to install a package I downloaded...it's  K3b-2.0.3a.tar.xz        It's located in  /home/crazylarry/downloads
  I typed in the terminal  sudo apt-get install K3b-2.0.3a.tar.xz    but all I got was a message that it couldn't find it  so do I need to include the path in the command or do I need to do something different?
Thanks to anyone who can help.    This is my first time at the rodeo.
Larry

Just a quick note that has to be easy to fix as other Distro's do not suffer from this.

Why, having Chosen and set my Keyboard as UK and Set location as London during the install are these not the default settings on login?

I know how to fix it, that's not the point, it simply does not give a good impression to absolute beginners to Linux.

Whereas the rest of Linux Lite is Excellent at helping new converts enjoy the full benefits.

OK apologies, mini moan over.... back to enjoying Linux Lite

Zeb...

The machine I am using has had LL installed the longest. I have noticed that it has slowed down significantly. What sort(s) of things can I look for to speed it up again to its original performance. I update, clean using lite twiks and run the virus scanner regularly.

Hi folks,


I've got a brand new install of LL 2.4 x86 and everything is going great. The person I set it up for needs visual helps, so I was able to increase the size of the mouse pointers through the desktop manager. But is there any way to increase the weight of the text cursor to make it more visible?


Thanks,

;D I almost forgot what day this is.

For those us us who live in the USA.

This is the day on which 239 years ago, we as a collection of 13 colonies belonging to British Empire. Signed and sent to our Sovereign a document declaring our break with, and Independence from the same.

Happy Independence Day.
Robert

Howdy All:

Venting time for me, frustration level past the redline.

Problem: Game called Mahjongg Ascension from Worlds Best Mahjongg Games by Value Soft. Includes World Jongg and Ultimate Mahjongg 20. both which work fine.

Reason for Problem: This is my Mother's favorite game. This game requires Flash Player. After about three months of weekends trying to get this to work in Wine with LL and other distro's I gave up.

I upgraded my HTPC, taking the old board which was duel boot Win 7, Mint 17 and building a new computer for her. Because this board was married to my copy of Win 7, I reloaded it and installed all her old XP software.

Everything worked perfectly. Then the hard drive started losing the MBR. I know this is the death knewld for a hard drive, so I installed a different one. (BTW this drive is still alive with LL 2.4 on it).

I've installed all software back on new drive. Now this game Mahjonng Ascension is telling me it needs Flash Player to run. I have installed it using both the included 9.0c version as well as the latest version from Adobe.

This is the problem I had trying to get it working in LL with Wine and now same problem Native?!!

Any and all suggestions welcomed. Thank you in advance.
Robert
