Hi,
Thought I would set up one of my PC's with Date/Time synced to NTP Server.
So my internet connection is fine, and I can ping the ntp servers listed: http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/uk
I add one of the ntp servers, it says "Checking" and it lists it... I can ping it...
But when I come to close the page, it errors out... UFW Firewall is in-active.
Any ideas..??
Thanks.

| Whisker menu reads Desktop files from /etc/skel/.local/share/applications |

The /etc/skel directory contains files and directories that are automatically copied over to a new user's Home directory when such user is created by the useradd program.
A home directory, also called a login directory, is the directory on LL that serves as the repository for a user's personal files, directories and programs, including personal configuration files.
Here is what happened: - I've opened two .desktop files, alacarte-made-8.desktop and alacarte-made-9.desktop, in /home/misko/.local/share/applications/ in order to change the default icons to the ones that a user submited in this thread
- Changed the lines Icon=... to
Code: Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/enable.png
Code: Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/disable.png
Code: dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.xfce.Panel /org/xfce/Panel org.xfce.Panel.Terminate boolean:true
I remember there was a couple threads where the users claimed they can't remove items from the whisker menu. This is related to that.
So something is wrong in the configuration, and that is this file /home/misko/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
Code: grep "/etc/skel" $HOME/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skell/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/etc/skel/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
Next command will change all occurances of /etc/skel to /home/user_name
Code: sed -i 's!/etc/skel!'$HOME'!g' $HOME/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
Code: dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.xfce.Panel /org/xfce/Panel org.xfce.Panel.Terminate boolean:true
Code: grep "/home" $HOME/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/miskol/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>
<AppDir>/home/misko/.local/share/applications</AppDir>

Hi, I'm a Linux Lite 1.0.2 user that has it installed on an old Compaq Armada e500 laptop. It is great for an antique like that, but now that I want to upgrade it to the latest version I see that it only fits on usb drives. As being a lite Linux distribution I always thought it would be kept lightweight. The thing is my laptop can't boot from usb and although it's fixable using Plop, that unique usb port is broken. Now I've installed a pcmcia usb expansion card, but this would not boot from that nor would it from Plop. So my last chance is to boot from a cd. Is there a way to shrink it down?

I want written a Whisker type menu with a few twists in lazarus so it will compile for Linux and Windows.
Once the basics are done I expect to be able to tweak it myself, I just can't do original code, I have done a bit in Visual Basic but my two pages of if's etc coding generally gets rewritten to a few short paragraphs by a real coder.
It will be a working prototype for Ikey Docherty as he wants to separate the menu from the panel, who knows he might continue developing it or rewrite it in java/javascript or in html5.
I just want to demonstate my ideas to him he's already put a few of my ideas into his panel.
The desktop is the main menu and it has'nt changed/evolved in any significant way since win95
