Hello,
Thank you for your patience, I am new to the Linux community.
Banshee
I am unable to get either Banshee or Rhythmbox to open MP3 files. I spent all yesterday trying to figure out what wasn't working. Several forums suggested that I needed to install the gstreamer plugins good, bad, and ugly. I did that (perhaps unsuccesfully? I can't be 100% sure I did that right).
I ran 'sudo apt-get build-dep banshee' from the terminal, which also should have gotten the necessary dependencies, I think (by "ran" I mean that I put that into the terminal and pushed enter, and I got some sort of message leading me to think that the operation I was undertaking had gone through correctly. Again, it's entirely possible I am ignoring a required step here).

So having gone through the suggestions found on the forums of the software, I turn to the LL crowd. Is it possible that neither of these softwares works on Linux lite? Or that Linux Lite has a specific requirement which I am unaware of?

I am running Linux lite 32 bit, xfce environment, on an Acer Eee PC netbook. I have already searched and installed system updates.

I would very much appreciate any help. I'm trying to be independent about finding my own solutions, but as I mentioned, I've been on this stupid problem for two days and am feeling stuck and frustrated.

Thanks in advance.

I installed LL on a very old computer yesterday & all seems to be working fine except for browser problems. Let me 1st say I did the install using Plop to force a usb boot for install. Firefox works fine but there is no flash. I have tried youtube, speedtest & sites with flash games (main use of this computer) & no flash. I tried to install Chrome & get errors. I then installed Chromium & says install was fine but will not open when clicked.
Note: I did try to install chrome before I read to do update 1st (my 1st time using Linux) because Fox had no flash. Seems like a great OS if I can get this worked out so any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I installed an earlier version of Linux Lite dual booting with Windows XP. Since then I have upgraded to LL 2.0.
After using it for awhile I would now like to delete XP and only have Linux Lite.

Has anyone here used OS-Uninstaller to accomplish that more easily?

hey i did not always have this issue, but after a hour+ i like my pc to go to sleep mode i'm out of work and low on money so want the bills low.

anyway, everything works fine until i try to play anything in vlc. i can only hear what is playing and the computer freezes. this is a new issue and i'm not sure why it started now, but does anyone have an idea or anything i can try to fix it? it kind of makes the sleep mode pointless if i need to shutdown when waking it every time..

thanks

1. First open the Thunar file manager, select a folder or a file and try to use a keyboard key combination.
This way you will make sure it doesn't conflict with any other keyboard shortcut.
2. Open this folder ~/.config/Thunar
There you'll see two files
accels.scm
uca.xml
3. Make a backup of these two files, Right-click > Create backup copy
4. Open both files with Leafpad and move the windows so you can see both file contents.
5. In the file uca.xml you will find all the info (name and unique-id).
In this file you will se this
<action>
<icon>utilities-terminal</icon>
<name>Open Terminal Here</name>
<unique-id>1399556281403860-1</unique-id>
<command>x-terminal-emulator -t &quot;Command Line&quot;</command>
<description>Open Terminal Here</description>
<patterns>*</patterns>
<startup-notify/>
<directories/>
</action>
Find the Thunar custom action name For example Open Terminal Here.
Look for unique-id in this example 1399556281403860-1, but you might have a different value.
6. In the file accels.scm search for that id
You will find the id in this line:

1. Open the Thunar file manager
2. Click on Edit and then on Configure custom actions
3. Add A new custom action by clicking on a '+' button
4. Enter this in the text boxes:
Name: Move files
Description: Move files.
Command:

Just a warning - I am not sure if this is the right place.

I tried to dual boot LinuxLite with Windows 8.1, but had problems with the Grub loader.

I re-installed version 2 of LL, and the installer realised I had another LL already loaded, and asked if I wanted to
1. install using the entire disk (no, as I had W8 already installed),
2. install alongside the earlier version (no, as I wanted to replace the LL version)
3. install over the earlier LL (yes, I mistakenly thought)
or 4. something else (which would have given me control over disk usage).

I chose 3, and the install took the entire disk, wiping out W8 (not a great problem for me, as I have other computers), but could be a problem for others.


So, a word of warning - be very careful when upgrading dual boot systems!

This will be a general problem for all Ubuntu derived systems, I assume, not just LinuxLite.

Hello All,

I may go back to school to get another degree. My laptop is about 6 years old (a Lenovo R61) and I am wondering if anyone has used Linux Lite with university programs. Most places will either require a Mac or a Windows based laptop, and they usually utilize some kind of software such as Blackboard. Has anyone gone back to school with Linux Lite? I don't want to buy another laptop if I can help it, but I don't want to start a semester with "the wrong stuff" as that will put me behind in my studies.

Thanks!

There are two ways to do this:
 
One is to rename your file or folder and add a dot as the first character in the file/folder new name.
Example:
file  -- .file
folder -- .folder
You can do it by right-clicking on the file/folder and then on Rename. I mostly use the F2 key to rename files and folders.
If you want to use the command line:
