  Opening whisker menu with Super_L
Posted by: paul59 - 08-07-2014, 10:00 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

I've been playing with a live cd version of Linux Lite before installing and it seems to work very nicely with my new laptop.

The one issue I do have is that I can't get Super_L (the 'Windows key') to open the whisker menu. I can set it up ok but I get an error dialog:

Failed to launch shortcut "Super_L"
Failed to launch process "xfce4-popup-whiskermenu" (Permission denied)

Might this just be because LL is not installed (or maybe I have the wrong command in there?

TIA and well done on a nice clean distro! Big Grin

  Droopy - Simple way to share files
Posted by: Scott(0) - 08-07-2014, 02:58 AM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (2)

I've been playing with this tiny file sharing program called Droopy and thought I'd share it with the community.

Once you start the software anything in the designated share folder will be shared with anything that has a web browser - phones, tablets, other computers, even in Virtualbox between the host and guest OS.

Here's a video describing the program. One note while watching the video. The setup used in the video is NOT the same for Linux Lite. Installation directions are below.
http://youtu.be/J2I0okt7mIU

Website for software
http://stackp.online.fr/?p=28


Installation instuctions for Linux Lite 2

Install Droopy, in a terminal type

Code:
sudo apt-get install droopy

Run Droopy using the Public folder. Open a terminal and type
Code:
droopy -d ~/Public --dl

Get the ip address of your machine
network icon in panel > click once > information
example, 192.168.1.100

Open any web browser and go to this address
192.168.1.100:8000

P.S. I'm posting the video and brief directions instead of a complete tutorial. If you have any questions post them here and I'll do my best to answer them.

  Error msg everytime i try to install new software
Posted by: jwwin - 08-06-2014, 08:53 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (33)

Hey,

Error warning (when ever i've tried to download and install a software package that is compatible with my version of Linux Lite 2.0)
Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time !
Please close the other application first eg: update manager, aptitude, or synaptic first

What is going on - I'm getting frustrated with linux (also cant get my brand new supposedly compatible - printer to work) cant load drivers !

Please help i'm very close to going back to windows - linux is not very user friendly. Speaking as a former windows user. I mean I've read all over the web (pre-switching) that Linux was a great place to go to for former Windows users. REALLY ??    Sad

  Poor quality video playback in browsers
Posted by: light - 08-06-2014, 04:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

Hello all,

I'm experiencing poor quality video playback in my browsers. Video playback in XBMC is flawless.
Initially I just tried Firefox on a fresh install and youtube looked bad, tearing and stuttering. I
tried Chrome thinking it was specific to Firefox, same thing with Chromium. Tried uninstalling
flash and reinstalling, same problem with video playback.

Hardware is capable, not flashy:

P4 2.8ht / also tried on a Pentium D 3.4
4 gig ddr2
hd7750

Other distros run on this machine run youtube with flash perfecty in 1080p.

If i set html5 on youtube it works... and as mentioned above XBMC running on Linux Lite, video
playback works great.

Flash is up to date (for linux), LL system is fully updated, processor has SSE.

Any suggestions on a fix would be appreciated. I really like Linux Lite.

Thanks for reading

  HP Deskjet 1010
Posted by: brian55 - 08-06-2014, 03:16 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (3)

Cannot get this printer to work through LL. It responds by throwing out a blank sheet.
In server settings I get "Cups server error. There is an HTTP error - not found." so I cannot adjust these settings.
I know the printer is OK (works on my windows machine) and that all necessary software is downloaded. I did select HP Deskjet 1000c as the nearest driver as I cannot find an exact match on Linux.
Anybody got any ideas? Thanks ..
