Translating Lite into other languages

Posted by: Snubbi - 12-02-2014, 12:16 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

I just installed Lite 2.2, great distro. Are there plans to translate specific Lite software for other languages on Transifex https://www.transifex.com/

I have 5 years experience in translating from English to Danish. I would love to translate Linux Lite from English to Danish

The latest project I have translated into Danish is Deepin http://linuxdeepin.com/index.en.html And which I still maintain.

Linux Lite 2.2 Final Released

Posted by: Valtam - 12-01-2014, 07:45 PM - Forum: Release Announcements - Replies (30)

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 2.2 Final is now available for download.

This release is a product of the incredible contributions from both the community and the developers. We've added Backups a very simple to use backup utility, Date & Time, File Search and our newest members to the Linux Lite software family, Lite Cleaner - an easy to use point and click system cleaner and Lite Welcome - greets you on first boot, gives useful information about Linux Lite including Updates, Support and Development, we've also added Light Locker as the new default screen locker. There are also improvements to Install Additional Software, allowing you to choose multiple programs at once to install. There is also 'Check Install Media' that has been added to the Live boot menu and finally, we've added some community created Linux Lite themed wallpapers.

As usual, you still get the latest LibreOffice, VLC, Wine and Gimp.

New Program locations:

Backups - Menu > Accessories > Backups
File Search - Menu > Accessories > File Search
Date & Time - Menu > Settings > Date & Time
Lite Cleaner - Menu > System > Lite Cleaner
Light Locker Settings - Menu > Settings > Light Locker Settings
Linux Lite Welcome - Menu > Settings > Linux Lite Welcome

Other Changes:

New adjustable size mouse theme added.
Added File Roller as the default archive manager.
Added Light Locker.
Added new Login theme.
Clementine added to Install Additional Software.
Create System Report has been converted to GUI.
Added md5sum check to right click menu.
Added libreoffice-gnome to open files on a NAS.
Launchers now use exo-open instead of xdg-open.
Fixed power settings/screensaver conflict.
Mumble has been dropped.
inxi has been added by request.

Both of these iso's come in at around 740mb, this means that we are no longer able to fit onto CD. After careful discussion with the community, the overall feeling was that what we offered people in terms of software and function was of greater importance than fitting on a certain media size.

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware: Login is automatic, no credentials required.
The image can be written to a 2gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD.
Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-2.2-xxbit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick.
In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar.
Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

There is no upgrade process from one Linux Lite version to the next because of all the in-between modifications. All Ubuntu 32bit kernels these days ship with PAE.

Recommended Hardware/Minimal System requirements:

700 MHz processor+
512 MB RAM+
5 GB of hard-drive space+
VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
Either a DVD drive or a USB port for the iso

Login to the live desktop is automatic.
The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

Thank you to Misko_2083 and gold_finger for their code contributions and to members of the community for their suggestions and ideas.

Keyboard Volume Buttons

Posted by: Mike - 12-01-2014, 02:15 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - No Replies

	I noticed by default volume buttons are not set in 2.2. Perhaps this would be beneficial to new users of LL? XF86AudioRaiseVolume set to amixer set Master 5%+ unmute XF86AudioLowerVolume set to amixer set Master 5%- unmute XF86AudioMute set to amixer set Master toggle I don't have media keys on my keyboard but I could see that being useful out of the box.

Create System Report GUI

Posted by: anon222 - 11-30-2014, 07:01 PM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (29)

This is what I've done so far.
Added: A question to start the process
Progress bar to display messages as the report continues
A question to display the results
Problem is next:
$HOME environment variable prints out /root when the script is run with 'gksudo'
If we have a script

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# This script is /usr/scripts/some_script

echo $HOME

and run it with gksudo we'll get

Code:
$ gksudo /usr/scripts/some_script

/root

So it's saving the report in the '/root' directory

Solution:
Running the script with 'gksudo -k /usr/scripts/systeminfo'
From man gksu
--preserve-env, -k

Preserve the current environments, does not set $HOME nor $PATH,
for example.

Here is the full script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

Atheros AR928x wireless network adaptor for LL2.0 ?

Posted by: m654321 - 11-30-2014, 09:22 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

I have a 64bit Win 7 - LL2 dual boot set-up on my Asus X71Q laptop.

Within Win 7, downloading the Atheros AR928x wireless network adaptor increased my internet connection speed from 150 Mb/s to 300 Mb/s, which makes a significant difference when downloading larger files. However, on LL2.0, my connection speed is only 150 Mb/s. Is there an Ubuntu version of the AR928x adaptor, that I can download for LL2.0, that will hopefully boost my internet connection speed to around 300 Mb/s? Many thanks for any help.

Kind regards
Mike

How to have default terminal open at specific size and location?

Posted by: CuriousGuy - 11-30-2014, 06:09 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I believe the default Terminal that comes with LL 2.0 is LXTerminal. I've got the color settings I want (from Edit -> Preferences -> Style). But I can't figure out how to have the window always open at a given size and at a given location. I read somewhere that almost all stuff like that is handled by conf files but I couldn't find one for the terminal.

Is there an easy way a noob can edit the configuration file to have LXTerminal open at a given size and location?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/links/etc you can provide. Any and all help is appreciated.

Whisker Menu Keyboard Shortcut

Posted by: Mike - 11-30-2014, 01:01 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (11)

	While easy to add it on my own, I'd recommend adding a default Whisker Menu shortcut in the distro. For others interested, I went to Keyboard settings and in the Applications Shortcuts tab I set the Super key to the command xfce4-popup-whiskermenu. Now I can quickly press Super and begin typing an application name.
