Hi,


Thought I would set up one of my PC's with Date/Time synced to NTP Server.
So my internet connection is fine, and I can ping the ntp servers listed: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/uk

I add one of the ntp servers, it says "Checking" and it lists it... I can ping it...
But when I come to close the page, it errors out... UFW Firewall is in-active.
Any ideas..??
Thanks.

Just made my d-u & saw this update .

I am an Xfce lover so this is very, very welcome news Ikey getting xfce ported to GTK3 even though he's got his own Budgie desktop and he's rewritting his base.
Love the man!!

      The /etc/skel directory contains files and directories that are automatically copied over to a new user's Home directory when such user is created by the useradd program.
A home directory, also called a login directory, is the directory on LL that serves as the repository for a user's personal files, directories and programs, including personal configuration files.
      Here is what happened:

• I've opened two .desktop files, alacarte-made-8.desktop and alacarte-made-9.desktop, in /home/misko/.local/share/applications/ in order to change the default icons to the ones that a user submited in this thread
  
• Changed the lines Icon=... to
  

• Restarted the panel
  

There are too many threads these days that are straying way off topic. As an example, if someone starts a thread asking for help on 'Printers' please resist the temptation to start talking about 'Volume Control' or your favorite cheese. This especially confuses new people to linux who are looking for brevity and good clear instructions.

In the future unrelated posts will simply be deleted without notice.

Thank you

Hi, I'm a Linux Lite 1.0.2 user that has it installed on an old Compaq Armada e500 laptop. It is great for an antique like that, but now that I want to upgrade it to the latest version I see that it only fits on usb drives. As being a lite Linux distribution I always thought it would be kept lightweight. The thing is my laptop can't boot from usb and although it's fixable using Plop, that unique usb port is broken. Now I've installed a pcmcia usb expansion card, but this would not boot from that nor would it from Plop. So my last chance is to boot from a cd. Is there a way to shrink it down?

I want written a Whisker type menu with a few twists in lazarus so it will compile for Linux and Windows.

Once the basics are done I expect to be able to tweak it myself, I just can't do original code, I have done a bit in Visual Basic but my two pages of if's etc coding generally gets rewritten to a few short paragraphs by a real coder.

It will be a working prototype for Ikey Docherty as he wants to separate the menu from the panel, who knows he might continue developing it or rewrite it in java/javascript or in html5.

I just want to demonstate my ideas to him he's already put a few of my ideas into his panel.

The desktop is the main menu and it has'nt changed/evolved in any significant way since win95

These are some icon pics I made from an existing icon already on my system.  Hopefully they will be usable for replacements for enable auto-login and disable auto-login icons. These are not technically icons, but should be able to be used as icons. They were saved as .png so they should have transparency around the borders.





If these are not what the team is looking for let me know and I might be able to come up with something better. 

First of all hello. I am a new user to Linux Lite and i am enjoying it alot. I installed the 32bit on my old Dell Inspirion 6000 and i been having a fun time with it. I had no problem install the updates or anything and getting wine to install. But on my HP 2000-2b19wm i install Linux Lite 2.2 64 Bit and it has been problems central. The install updates thing kept on crashing on me doing the libraoffice install. I finally got it to fully install yesterday. Now i install the Additional software things like Java, and Virtual Box and everything else. But, when it comes to WINE it will do the install thing but then say "sorry wine will not install".

Is there something wrong that i am doing? Or should i just give up and finally just put 32bit on there? My own problem with that is that i wanted a computer i can put 64bit Linux Lite on it and get it to work. I been trying for two weeks before i finally made an account and researched the internet for this as well to see if anyone else was having a problem, but i guess i am the only one. Please help if you can with this issue. Thanks in advance.
