The Shortcut Pane provides shortcuts to different folders on your system.
You can add important folders to the  Thunar's Shortcut Pane with simply dragging and dropping a folder to the pane.
This is the wrong way of doing it. If you drop it on an existing shortcut you will acctually move the folder you have dragged to the folder the shortcut is pointing to.

I don't know why the XFCE developers made that possible.

This is the correct way of doing it. You have to move your mouse untill the horizontal line appears.

Once you add the shortcut you can right-click on it and remove it or rename it.

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST:
Echoing asterisks gives away information:
1) Password length, and
2) Makes it easier to video-tape keypresses by syncing them with screen feedback.

We will open the /etc/sudoers file and change a setting.
IMPORTANT: Use extreme caution when editing  /etc/sudoers file. Never edit the sudoers file with a normal text editor (leafpad,gedit,mousepad..).
Always use the visudo command as described here. If the sudoers file has improper syntax, you will be left with a system where it’s impossible to obtain elevated or root privileges. The visudo command opens a text editor like you would with normal text files, but the command also validates the syntax of the file upon saving it.This prevents configuration errors in the sudoers file from blocking sudo operations, which could be your only method of obtaining root privileges.

First of all I don't know what I'm doing with Linux.  :-[

I did look to see when I installed Lite on this computer no found in System information.
Read can see in oldest file in /boot don't know if that USA date style or UK 3rd month or 5th Month 2014 so it's been sometime with not sound since the start of last year.

I tried adding install updates drivers & tab additional drivers - But there No additional drivers available.

Also did create system report and got info below about sound card, looked here on forms did a search look.
From system info show I using Linux 3.13.0

How do I install asian language into linux?

It would be great to have a Kernel Section in the Forum , I think it would save some research time on people .

Just a thought .


Gee , should ve put this in Suggestions , maybe a mod can change this !

Some have you may have seen my thread about creating a designated partition for data (documents, music, video, pictures, downloads) to be shared by three operating systems (auto-mount question).  I was trying to use this procedure:


http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1609


(which I just noticed recently was written by our very own gold-finger some time ago).  At any rate with some help, I got through the mounting process and now have a partition that is auto mounted at start-up with fstab additions (at least in LL so far).


gold-finger's tutorial references another thread for binding the directories in my new partition to those in my home directories.  However, now that I am mid-project I am wondering if it will accomplish what I intended (or not) and had a few questions.  I have tried to research this on-line with not a lot of luck as any search with "binding" seems to yield results concerning servers and networking (or sewing  ).


1) If I bind a home folder to a folder in the new partition folder - and I save a document (for example) is it physically saved only on the new partition (in Document folder), or on the new partition and in the home folder ("Documents" in home in this example)?


As I understood it (or thought I did) initially, it would be saved on the new partition only, but with the binding, it would appear in my home folder "documents" as if it were actually there, but I saw something that made me question that and the project would be less helpful if that is the case.


2) So far, I am able to bind my LL folders to the folders in the new partition but I am clueless about how I might do this in my Windows 7 O/S.  Or maybe this is unnecessary and I can/should just navigate documents/downloads/etc. to be saved in the new (ntfs) partition?


Any clarification appreciated!  Thanks folks!

When I'm installing daily updates through the lxterminal, it is still titled "Linux Lite 2.0 Updates" even though I'm running the 2.2 version. No biggie but is this happening to any other users??

Hi group,

I am completely baffled by this turn of events. I had LL 2.2 installed on an older Dell Inspiron B130 and everything was working fine for months. This morning I wanted to test a mini usb wifi dongle to check if the 5370 Ralink was now supported. It worked immediately without any issues and I was excited to find that out.

However, upon removing the dongle...my onboard wifi was no longer available AT ALL. I tried a number of terminal commands to locate the device, drivers, etc....nothing worked. So finally, I decided it would be faster to simply re-install LL 2.2 on the machine. Booting from the USB stick....I still did not have the onboard wifi anymore???

I then deleted the hard drive partition and tried again with the USB stick boot.....still no wifi. Next, I loaded Puppy Linux....just to see if ANYTHING would see it......Puppy picked up the wifi just fine and I browsed the internet with no issues. So....the wifi card IS working on the computer......

Back to LL 2.2....I rebooted again and LL 2.2 still does not see the onboard Broadcom 43XX wifi card that was working prior to the 5370 trial. Even with a brand new fresh load of LL.......

Any ideas?

Hi,

A new install of LL 2.2, all appeared to be O.K, System info at the end.
I have to admit, I didn't check WiFi with a Live Boot. (naughty boy )
I always do the installs connected via cable.

After install & Updates I found I did not have WiFi. It is based on Realtek "rtl8723be"
Long story short after lot's of Googling, it appears lots of people have issue with this chipset.

I found a solution that appeared to work, but after 2/3 hours lost the WiFi until I did a re-boot.
Then
I found lots of reference to it being fixed in Kernel 3.16.
So I tried kernel 3.16, the WiFi appeared to work, but I then had a video ripping/tearing issue.

I tried 3.17, WiFi O.K but still had a video ripping/tearing issue.
I tried 3.18, NO WiFi, and also had a video ripping/tearing issue.

I have found possibly another option, but don't fully understand "back-ports"??
I found a thread on what, If I understand it, is installing the the latest drivers used in 3.16, but on to 3.13.?

Quote:Please install the kernel headers and build-essential beforehand -

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

Then follow these steps to download and install the backported driver -
1) Download the "backports-3.16.2-1" package from here : http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~...tml/backports/
2) Copy the downloaded archive to your Desktop > Right-Click > Extract here.
3) Open a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T) and run these commands to build and install the driver -

Code:

cd Desktop/backports-3.16.2-1
make defconfig-rtlwifi
make
sudo make install
