Fileshare Applet is a small screenshot program. You can highlight any section of the screen with the mouse, upload the image to Imgur hosting service, and then paste the URL link from the clipboard to your forum post, etc. Unlike with most other similar apps, you are not restricted to making a screenshot of either active window or the whole desktop. Here is an example (it's the corner of the Panel + a bit of the desktop background):



Fileshare Applet is not available in any repositories, only as a deb package that must be installed manually.

I had no problems installing and running the applet in Xubuntu v14.04, but in LL v2.0 when I try to start it from the App Menu it just won't run:


(click anywhere on the page to zoom it to 100%)

and is nowhere to be seen in Task Manager either (it is installed as "indicator-fileshare"):

Here are installation instructions.

1) Download the zip file and extract it to any temporary directory:

2) In LL install "build-essential " from Synaptic or:

Hello all! I have just installed the Linux Lite 2.0 and thnk that it is awesome! I am fairly new to Linux and am having problems figuring out how to do certain things. I had an old laptop with XP on it and wanted to give it life again. This gave me a good excuse to jump in to the world of Linux. I also wanted to make this laptop my sons for when he starts school this coming fall. I am only wanting him to have access to certain individual programs, like Libre, Media player (vlc), etc...just the basics. Is there anyone who can face me in the right direction? Is there a GUI that makes this easy or do I have to learn code? Thank you for such an awesome OS!

I referred to this thread: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=270.0  and followed tutorials. HPLIP is updated, also did a full system update for LL

Running through the menu/settings/printers menu, the printer is not seen/recognized

Running through menu/accessories/HP device manager, via USB I/O selection, the printer also is not "discovered"

The printer is plugged in to USB, and powered up. Tried restarting printer, unplugging/plugging, restarting computer in multiple different sequences, still nothing.

Please help. I have no idea how to proceed from here.

Also, I am trying to fix this via talking my mother through it step by step by phone, so unfortunately, it is quite laborious even to just get her to enter simple terminal commands. Whatever, have to get her through it.

Thanks

hi guys i often use my cdrom to daul boot and noticed that it no longer loads when i start my computer up with a iso in it. and when i put a cd rom in to burn, it gives me an error after it tells me i can burn about it not being able to mount... i used this cd rom yesterday, and it still reads in my bios so something tells me this may be a settings issue, do you think me just updating could have caused it seeing it worked fine yesterday? im really worried because i use the cd rom a lot. reinstall drivers somehow or does it sound like it broke? it still tries to burn, i see it listed in biso and in my os.... scared here any advice?

"Failed to unmount 'blank CD-rom disc" drive cannot be used for burning."

Hello,

I want to switch the system language to German. To do so I followed the description given here in the forum.

Update language support

It's checking the language support but doesn't ask me to install a new language pack (I told the system to make German the system language.).

So I thought maybe the German language pack is already there. In the list of languages there is "German", but it's grey. So I cannot activate German.

If I click on 'Install / Remove Languages' there is already a tick at German.

If I deinstall the German language pack and install it again nothing changes.

I don't know what else I can do. Is it possible to install the language package just as a normal package with apt-get ?

Each time I boot up my newly installed Linux-Lite 2.0 box, the mouse pointer is nothing more then a mini snowy tv screen. I have a heck of a time trying to figure out where to place it and click to do what I want to do in Linux. The only alternative I found was to change the mouse theme. That works while the session is open. Once I shut down or log-off and then turn it back on, its back to the snowy TV icon. Is there a fix or permanent way around this problem?

Dear LL,

I face a new issue in LL 2 which was not experienced in LL 1.08;

1. The Mobile broadband data card asks for a password every time to connect.

2. When the connection is disconnected and when the USB data card is removed, the network connection manager hangs (Icon becomes X mark) and the system also hangs and no other function works.

This was absolutely not experienced in LL1.08, i used to remove the data card even when it is connected live, the connection manager just disconnects the Internet and shows the message box "you are disconnected" and it continues normal operations.
 

Is there a way to set "No confirmation" when deleting, or a way to "One click delete" an item?

Thanks
