Just a quick way to add a google search without first opening a browser.

Right-click main menu button and choose 'Properties'
Select the 'Search Actions' tab
Click the '+' button marked '1' in the screenshot
Fill in the details at '2' in the screenshot.

The last line is only partly visible, in full it should read:

Wikipedia search works fine but I can't get '#' man pages or '!' run in terminal to work. I've tried using various terminal 'names' instead of Terminal Emulator, removing the string that gets passed, enclosing various parts in single/double quotes and passing the -e option for execute.

Do these searches work for other people? If so any chance you can post your command string just to check against mine?

I'm happy enough using the terminal (having started with DOS) even though my knowledge of the 'command set' is not very broad. That said, I find the different terminals and way they are referred to somewhat bewildering. For example:

I open a terminal using the default ctrl+alt+t and a get an instance of lxterminal with a 'Command Line' title bar.

I decided to change mine to just say 'Terminal' by editing the shortcut and see it is referred to as TerminalEmulator which I believe is the xfce reference to the default program for this task, like 'WebBrowser'.

However, if I execute 'x-terminal-emulator' from the terminal i just opened I get another instance of lxterminal, with window title lxterminal.

If I execute lxterm I get an instance of 'uxterm' which looks like the 'raw' xterminal.

All very confusing (at least to me!) and I wonder if things couldn't be tidied up somehow?

I create this thread to ask if there is possibility for a triple screen setup with Linux Lite.

I bought recently a PCI graphics card, ATI Radeon 9200, to accompany my NVIDIA GeForce 210 which is placed at a PCIe x16 slot. The PCI card was tested alone to see if it works properly, which it does but when I place both of them onboard, I can't use them both. I searched and found that is viable but a bit tricky to setup. The main problem is the proprietary drivers that may conflict with each other.

By the way, all this testing caused the bug at the login screen when using Linux Lite 1.0.8. (I didn't installed any driver for the ATI card. It worked with a generic one.)

The last I tried was to change from what VGA the PC will boot. PCI or PEG (PCIe). When I choose PEG only the NVIDIA seems to work all the way. When I choose PCI, it boots with PCI, at some point all the screens work (not just connected, the light at the respective buttons indicates that they show something) even those at the NVIDIA adapter but before the login screen show up the monitor that is connected to the ATI card (PCI) "goes to sleep".

I didn't tried to install a proprietary driver but I don't think that's the case because when I'm going to see the monitors setup at the Settings > Display, appear only 2, those of the NVIDIA adapter.

At the moment I connected it on the motherboard and booted with the PEG setting, but all screens worked only on boot procedure. When login screen appears, the monitor attached to ATI stops showing something and "goes to sleep" once again.

Any idea appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I see Ask Bob Rankin has sent out an alert. There is a new USB threat involving Flash drives having infected firmware that can not be scanned for! They are suggesting you toss any Flash drives that have ever been plugged into a public computer! What is this gonna do to the Live Distro on a stick and portable programs market?

Do Linux users need to be concerned?

Thanks

Hi!

What driver should be used for this card?

I am having a problem with LibreOffice crashing. Yesterday, I opened a MS spreadsheet with LibreOffice. I tried to save it as a xls spreadsheet but it crashed. I e-mailed the spreadsheet to save on my Mac and deleted it on my LL computer. Now when I try to open LibreOffice (any program in it), it offers to recover the document but can't. When I click "Finish" it just closes and will not continue on to open the program.

I would just uninstall then reinstall with Synaptic but the most recent updates say it is holding back some LibreOffice updates. There must be a good reason to hold back those updates.

So how should I solve this problem?  :-\

When you run Install Updates command it opens the terminal, runs the update script and then closes the terminal:



How to prevent the terminal from closing? I have modified the command and it seems to be working ok but I would appreciate confirmation that my code is ok:

like letting you folks know what works on here.

This netbook has no hard drive yet, No power adapter, No pen (wacom type), but I could not pass it up for 50 bucks on ebay.
