I have not been able to find a solution to a problem in which the Whisker Menu Button Disappears when dragging a window button on the panel.
The problem has been reported by another XFCE user in a Youtube video:

  Intel Compute Stick Quad Core Atom 8GB HDMI PC Dongle Linux Ubuntu OS
Posted by: Wirezfree - 05-11-2015, 05:51 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

So you can pre order the new Intel Compute Stick with Ubuntu 14.04.

They have a higher spec version, seems they only do it with Win8.1.

I got a little excited over a LL Media Centre...
Somebody's tried putting Mint/Fedora on the 2GB version.
Apparently a note in the BIOS for Win8.1 & Ubuntu Only

  Serial ports to IP
Posted by: Quinco - 05-10-2015, 11:44 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (10)

I have a need to be able to map a serial port to an IP address. The situation is a Linux lite machine connected via USB to a GPS, this machine is connected to a router via Ethernet, a laptop is connected to this router via WiFi. The laptop needs to get the GPS data via an IP port. In windows this can be done using virtual serial port emulator. The laptop is not a problem, the Linux lite machine on the Ethernet is where I need a solution. Have tried without success to use serial port to network proxy.. Any ideas please?

  Add gstreamer components to Linux Lite 2.6 to fix broken HTML5 Firefox Audio
Posted by: Gooplusplus - 05-10-2015, 07:42 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

[Image: html5test.png]

Solution to fix broken HTML5 MP3 and M4A Firefox audio in Linux Lite, Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Gnome, Ubuntu-Mate and Lubuntu

Test sites: (1) https://html5test.com/
(2) http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/
(3) http://www.gooplusplus.com/jukebox

SYNAPTIC - add gstreamer1.0-libav (or gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly)
or Ubuntu Software Center - add Gstreamer extra plugins

BTW, Xubuntu and Kubuntu Firefox HTML5 audio already works fine and plays MP3 and M4A files (instead of downloading).

i, im trying to install last driver omega form amd and the log show this error .

"NOTE: If your system has logged the missing packages required for installation, install them in the order as per the log file to resolve package-dependency issues.
fglrx installation requires that the system has kernel headers.  /lib/modules/4.0.0-linuxlite/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
Install kernel headers using the command apt-get install linux-headers-4.0.0-linuxlite."

  File permissions
Posted by: anon222 - 05-09-2015, 04:01 AM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (2)

A script for the thunar custom action that displays the file permissions and can change them.
Technicaly, it will work with directories but will not change them recursively. The files and directories inside will remain unchanged.
Also it works only for a single file.
This is not something I would recommend to someone who doen't understand file permissions.
Be carefull about symbolic links! Never use this on them! chmod changes the permissions of the pointed-to file.

  Installing Adobe Reader in Linux Lite - When Nothing Else Will Do!
Posted by: N4RPS - 05-08-2015, 11:24 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Hello, All!

I recently had to fill out some online fillable PDF forms, totalling almost twenty pages worth. (Back in the day, I didn't fill out NEARLY that many pages to get one of the highest US security clearances available, so go figure!)

I tried Evince, but it doesn't seem to handle fillable forms at this time. The folks at Evince are working on it, but until they figure it all out, it seems as if there are instances (usually government forms) when nothing else but Adobe Reader will do.

Fortunately, as of this date, Adobe Reader is still in the Ubuntu repositories.  In a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T],

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread

If it's removed from the repositories at some later date, for now, it can also be found here. Again, in a terminal window:

Code:
cd ~/Downloads && wget http://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5./en/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
sudo gdebi AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

This will download the .deb into the '~/Downloads' folder. From there, the terminal will ask for confirmation, and will then install it if you answer 'y'.

Hope this helps...

  Linux install dual boot LL 2.4/Win 7
Posted by: marnav1 - 05-08-2015, 11:06 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Did an install today dual boot. Its a generic desktop, I believe its an AMD dual core, 3gb ram and 500gb HD. Everything installed very smoothly, no glitches at all. After a few reboots/shut-downs now it wants to hang on restart into Linux. It will be blackscreen and you see the cursor and it does nothing. It doesn’t do it every time but it does it enough its an issue. You see the feather and do the log in and then it hangs. Any suggestions welcomed.

  successful installation - impressive distro
Posted by: xfrank - 05-08-2015, 05:47 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (8)

I've successfully installed Linux Lite 32bit in an old HP laptop (pentium IV, 685MB ram). I'm very impressed: this distro worked out of the box without hiccups, recognized all the hardware, is good looking and amazing fast. I will keep Linux Lite in this laptop as the only OS.
I have installed previously here Peppermint 3 (also very fast) and Linux Mint 13 Xfce (fast, but less than Linux Lite).
Linux Lite 2.4 is LTS and will be supported until 2019, that is more than the (probable) lifespan of my laptop...

Thanks to the developers, nice work!
