Compositing is turned on and I fiddled with transparency to make things feel lighter/modern. The bottom is not a launcher, but just a modified panel.  I centered it and added a transparent background with 64 pix icons.  Whisker at the top left and Applications and Directory down low on the "launcher".

Hi folks,

There is some kind of problem happening when I try to update...I get the following errors -

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Problem parsing dependency Breaks
E: Error occurred while processing samba-libs (NewVersion2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I tried removing the old lists by doing -

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

so the cache would update but I still get the above errors, I tried rebooting a bunch of times but that didn't help either.

Any ideas on this ?

I've been using Slimjet, a Chromium derivative, on LL x64 for several months with very few and minor problems. Suddenly, with version 7.0.3, the program won't open. I've tried every version since (including today's 7.0.7) with the same results. So I end up going back to 7.0.1, which works fine.

The Slimjet dev told me to use the tar.bz installer, but that didn't go well either (I don't really know what I'm doing, which could be the problem). So I'm stuck.

I set up a virtual box of LL 2.8 x32 (the only bittage I can run on this machine in virtual box), and there Slimjet ran perfectly. So obviously something's wrong with this install. I can sit this out until LL 3.0 comes out and do a fresh install, but I'd rather nail it now, the browser being so important.


I noticed that when I fire up Slimjet several processes open for a couple of seconds and then close. The are named systemd-udevd. Any thoughts on this would be welcome. Thanks.

I'm not sure I've given this the best name, but the problem has dogged me through LL 2.4 and I am hoping that it will not on my next upgrades. Meanwhile I am curious to know if this is a known issue with a solution.


What I mean by file operations is whenever software goes to a file explorer (say Thunar) in order to save, rename, open, find or otherwise handle a file. For me this takes ages, across software programs. Libre Office, browsers, whatever, if I have to summon a view to execute a file operation the file display does not open for 5-10 seconds. I was shocked by how long it actually takes, I've gotten used to it and never checked just how long the delay is.


What could be causing this?

Well after wiping out, beta testing and tweaking for 2.8 I had to set up cloud print again on the Mini (netbook) and thought I'd share my notes.. Should anyone be interested or have interest.. Yes this is a Google feature and does require a gmail account..

The main focus is adding the cloud printers into Linux Lite on a remote system where the printer is not attached. Making the cloud printers (printers attached elsewhere) available within the LL printers windows; which is accomplished via CUPS.

A quick note; I found this info out in the great beyond of Google searches.. You do have to add a PPA - understand what this means prior to installing...

1st off  Cloud Print needs to be set up.. Having a system (Windows/Linux etc) with a printer attached/installed, then within Chrome/Chromium that printer added to the Cloud Printer section.. (I can expand on more but went with the assumption most can accomplish)
*Cloud Print can also make these printers available to Android tablets/phones as well... (Probably iOS stuff too but I don't use  :o)
*Not only do you have access to your printer, but a PDF printer along with a "printer" to add to Google Drive...

Now adding the printer to Linux Lite (other flavors too)..
The below commands need to be ran one at time to add CUPS Cloud Print.

I've been a PC user since the 5150, and PCDOS 1.0.  Been a Windows guy most of the time.  I spent 20 years in corporate IT.    I dabbled in Ubuntu/Linux Mint for a while around the time Windows Vista came out.  After Win 8/10 it was finally time to bail on Windows.  I've DL'd and tried most of the popular distros and now I think I've found the best one for me - Lite 2.8.  Thanks to Jerry and everyone who contributed to such a great OS.

i'm just done with my prior inquiries on remote connection, and here i am again asking help if there are GUI windows for IPv4 connection settings, as well, proxy settings in Linux Lite  :-\


i mean i'm more expose to Ubuntu in which if i add proxy, i just go to this window:

[img height=357 width=800]http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p553/geekbuy/proxy_zpseg8bnrhw.png[/img]



and if i put static IP or DNS, i also go on these window:






likewise, hoping also you can share the command lines both for IPv4 connection settings and proxy if i go or use to the terminal  :-[

    The webcam software in Lite Software is not working on this netbook. I am running LL 2.8 32 bit. It worked well in 2.6, but now it doesn't show anything from the camera, just a black window. I tried reinstalling the software, but that did nothing. I used lsusb and my camera show up as:  Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45:62c0 Microdia Sonix USB 2.0 Camera. I have uninstalled the software, and installed camorama in its place and everything works fine. Just thought the development team should be aware.

A little more info, the camorama software only supports still captures not video.

Hello LL community. I am happily running LL 2.8 on my main laptop and it is running very fast. I would be looking forward to contributing in any way as I can.  ;D  ;D

It's that time again. It's your feedback that steers this distro in a progressive direction. Please remember to only include ideas that have both wide appeal and a sense of familiarity to Windows users eg. no Terminal stuff, ease of use, 'granny proof'.

If you have previously made a suggestion and it has not made it into other versions of Linux Lite, please do not make the suggestion again, I look at all the posts made and carefully weigh up their pros/cons. Your suggestions are appreciated, but like Linus once said...
