  Link Problems on Linux Lite Homepage
Posted by: gold_finger - 05-29-2014, 04:18 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

More of a "heads-up" here than anything else.

Problem:  On homepage of Linux Lite (specifically on https://www.linuxliteos.com/ and/or https://www.linuxliteos.com/index.html), none of the links to other pages were working.  Had to type in the link addresses of other pages to get to them because links from homepage didn't work.  Once on another page, the links from them to others worked fine -- it was only the homepage that had problems.

Have tracked down cause of mysterious problem to be things on the homepage being blocked by the Adblock Plus extension in Firefox web browser.  Here are my Adblock settings:
[Image: 1O1V3dRdCMsH]

And here are the items (in red) being blocked on the LL home page that cause all links on the page not to work:
[Image: 1O1VJFJwJN0f]

It appears that something about the social media buttons for Facebook, Twitter, etc. being blocked is causing problems with all links on the page.  I have not yet run into this problem on any other website.  Here's what I see without Adblock:
[Image: 1O63NCfBR8qM]

And here is same area with Adblock:
[Image: 1O63YRXAJtQr]


I'm no expert in HTML programming, but it appears that blocking the buttons causes this script (which is NOT being blocked) to not work properly.

Code:
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

On above screenshot showing blocked items in red, if I allow the 3rd, 4th, & 5th blocked items then the links on the homepage work again.  Since none of the other pages on the LinuxLite website use the script and social media buttons, this problem does not happen on them.

So, the question to me is "why" does the malfunction of that script (caused by blocking social media buttons) affect ALL of the links on the page, rather than just the social media links?

Like I said, I'm no expert on this and am really just guessing.  Maybe someone else here who knows more about HTML programming can look at the source code for the homepage and figure it out.

Anyway, if anyone else happens to have same problem, just disable those Adblock filters on the LL site or manually type in the link you want to go to -- eg.  "http://www.linuxliteos.com/support.html"

  Belated Introduction.
Posted by: Hans - 05-28-2014, 08:27 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hi All!!

I've been a member for a while, but I just hadn't had the opportunity to say hi until now...So a big Hi to all of you...

I know some of you are part of the linux distro community, and so am I. However, as a full time Linux Lite user I thought I should be more active on this forum. Also because I wanted to try the new 2.0...

Thanks everyone... see you around!

Cheers! 8)

  Mouse pointer/themes

Hi is there a way to make the mouse pointer show busy whilst opening an app like say firefox etc.  My wife ends up trying to open numerous windows as she doesn't see pointer doing anything and assumes it hasn't started.

  QuickTime movies won't play chrome and chromium browser
Posted by: tommykry - 05-27-2014, 09:18 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

Hello, i have another question,
Using 2.0 beta,  I installed google chrome, (and chromium to test as well) and i am trying to get the shows on http://abc.go.com/shows    to play, but i get a error saying: Shockwave flash has crashed? i checked and chrome (and chromium) has the latest pepperflash installed, can anyone try this and confirm, is there a way to get the shows to play on abc.com and chrome (or chromium)? it works in winows and mac.

Also quicktime movies (not apple movie trailers) wont play in chrome or chromium either as in here:
http://www.apple.com/logic-pro/in-action/        Scroll down to:Nine inch nails take to the stage video, i get a message saying: Get quicktime?
Other than that everything is working great in beta 2.0, i am loving this OS, Thanks!

  Enable system sounds and events
Posted by: tommykry - 05-27-2014, 09:14 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (33)

Hello, Just installed 2.0 beta(and 1.0.8) and think its fantastic! Almost have everything working. ( this is on a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop.

Im trying to find a windows replacement for my sisters laptop, so far i have tried Zorin os and Linux Lite 1.0.8
So far i have everything working except: System sounds (ex - Start up and shut down sounds, minimize and maximize windows, log on, log off, error ect... )
i have enabled: Event sounds under appearance Settings, tried to install some Canberra Stuff? Still no system or event sounds?
So far i am loving this OS and think i can get some people to switch to it, just need to get it working as close to windows as possible, so if anyone could point me in the direction i would appreciate it.

I have done numerous google searches spent a few hours trying things and still no system sounds working
(all the other sounds work, youtube, music, video, etc...
Keep up the great work this Os is going to be awesome!
Thanks,
Tommy

  IRC Support Closed
Posted by: valtam - 05-27-2014, 04:07 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

Support will no longer be offered in the IRC channel #linuxlite.
There are several reasons for this:

  • In the time that it's been open, most users disconnect within 1-2 minutes if they don't get a reply.
  • When someone does receive help, many people are disconnecting before that help is finished.
  • Many people coming in are using IRC for the first time and have no idea how to use it giving them the impression we are not offering a user friendly facility.

These are the main ones, there are others and at the end of the day I have made the decision to concentrate Support here in the Forums where everyone can see the solutions to problems.
All of this has been incredibly frustrating for those who give their time to help others, not to mention the lack of manners from people who do get help. A simple thank you after spending half an hour helping someone is not much to ask.

We still have multiple options for people to get support. With Support now concentrated mainly to the Forums, this will only serve to increase the knowledge base here, where on IRC, it is lost. Support options - https://www.linuxliteos.com/support.html

Since there are still Linux Lite versions out there that have the IRC link in the Internet Menu, I've added an auto-response bot to the channel that directs people here to the Forums. In Linux Lite 2.0 the IRC Menu link will read 'Support' instead of 'IRC Support' and will link to these Forums.

  Home Directory - First Letter Uppercase
Posted by: Scott(0) - 05-27-2014, 02:10 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

Can $HOME be configured so the first letter is uppercase?

Thunar currently displays my home directory as:
scott - File Manager

I'm trying to configure things so Thunar displays my home directory as:
Scott - File Manager

The change is making the first letter in $HOME uppercase.

I've looked at file $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs but it's my understanding this only changes the folders *within* $HOME not $HOME itself.

  Strange video card images.
Posted by: jasonjack89 - 05-24-2014, 07:20 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (1)

Alright, I have an Asus G50VX with an nvidia 260m Which I believe is bad. Linux Lite 1.0.6 installs and runs fine. 1.0.8 Displays nothing but flashing white 2s on a grey background. Linux mint displays horizontal white and black stripes. Linux Ubuntu 14.04 displays zig zag blank and white stripes. This all happens whilst attempting to run off the DVD. I am curious if anyone would know why the different versions of Linux display different garbled images. I would also like to know if anyone might know why Linux Lite 1.0.6 works without any issues visual or otherwise. I am a very experienced computer tech and have worked with many different operating systems. This just has me baffled.
