Hello there. I am finding it very difficult to install this ancient ninja game that seems to be available for Linux as a .tar file only. It doesn't help that all tutorials I could find mention .tar.gz files exclusively, but of course, I tried to follow them nonetheless (even making changes as I thought appropriate), to no avail (obviously, else I wouldn't be here). I have also tried following Help Manual's instructions, but I always get the message "No such file or directory" upon entering "./configure" instead of a list of dependencies. I feel like this shouldn't be so difficult. There must be some detail I'm overlooking, some stupid thing I am doing wrong.

As an aside, I have  looked into tarballs generally, what they are, what they eat, how they reproduce, etc, but unsurprisingly, understanding the issue conceptually isn't enough to find the magic terminal words that will instal my silly little game. I have learned a lot of Linux and open source related stuff since installing Linux Lite over a year ago, but am still a super mega noob, so I'd like to use this as an opportunity to learn a bit more. For instance, I'd like to know what the difference between .tar and .tar.gz files is (I've also come across .taz and tar.xz while looking for tutorials, no idea what these are either).

So much as a hint on where to look for a solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hallo zusammen!
Ich bin neu hier und benötige wenn es geht bitte Hilfe!
Ich benutze seit kurzer Zeit Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 64 Bit
Ich habe das Laptop mit der Intsallation von meinem Sohn für den Umzug nach Italien geschenkt bekommen und bin im Umgang mit dem System noch nicht so vetraut.
Nach dem wir hier endlich internet via ffwa bekommen haben und die Verbindungen relativ stabil sind habe ich über den Router/Modem WLAN aktiviert , hat alles gut funktioniert bis wir einen Stromausfall hatten. Danach hat der Laptop das Wlan nichtmehr erkannt. Er zeigt mir eine Verbindun an aber egal welchen Browser ich benutze wird mir immer angezeigt "keine Internetverbindung"
Er erkennt auch kein LAN! Nur die Verbindung per Hotspot von meinem Smartphone funktioniert. Alle andren Geräte wie Internetradio/Amazon Stick usw funktionieren über die WLAN Verbindung nur der Laptop nicht? Kann mir vieleicht jemand helfen
Vielen Dank im voraus

Despite the fact that I always ensure that my system (lite 5. 8) is always updated regularly the Lite Widget continues to report "System Never Updated" - anybody able to advise why please

Hola a todos!

Ayer instalé LinuxLite 6.2 en un Ideapad 300S del año del cuete (creo que 2015) que le compré a precio de hueo a alguien que lo iba a botar porque no andaba para ninguna parte jajaj. Si mal no recuerdo, venía con Windows 8 instalado. Quedé realmente asombrado porque a este notebook le he puesto varias distros y siempre han andado bien, pero ni tanto. Igual un poco lentas. (Lo último que le había puesto era Lubuntu, pero a esa distro le falta muuuucho por madurar todavía.) Sin embargo Lite corre fantástico!! Todo funciona suavecito, fluído, incluso Netflix, todo carga rápido y funciona sin lagueos. Muy impresionante. A todo esto, estamos hablando de un Celeron N3050 con megas de RAM, o sea, una calculadora con pantalla grande jajajj.

A todo esto, me presento: Mucho gusto, soy Fernando, vivo en Valdivia, Chile, profesor de inglés, empecé a usar Linux por allá por 2006 de pura curiosidad, cuando aquí en Chile hubo una huelga de estudiantes y los profes tuvimos bastante tiempo libre y me use a investigar en la sala de informática del colegio donde trabajo. Fue difícil al principio pero valió la pena. Ahora ni muerto vuelvo a Windows. Recuerdo que empecé con Ubuntu Dapper. Muchas veces quise tirar el computador por la ventana cuando no podía instalar programas a la manera de Windows, descargándolos de internet, jajaja. Pero poco a poco fui aprendiendo. Creo que lo que me mantuvo fiel a Linux por esos días fue Amarok (el antiguo, no el Qt) Me encantaba!

Recuerdo la pesadilla que era usar Windows 98, ME, y aunque XP fue interesante, siempre estaban las limitaciones del software comercial. O sea, aprendías y avanzabas lo que Microsoft quería. Nada más allá. Qué días aquellos de buscar claves y cracks y cosas tránsfugas! jajaj Siempre temiéndole a los virus y metiéndote en páginas raras. jajaja Diría que Linux me devolvió el asombro que había sentido en los tiempos de Windows 3.1, cuando todo en computación era un nuevo descubrimiento y el computador hacía lo que tú querías.

Estoy muy agradecido de Linux y de la comunidad. Tantas cosas que he aprendido con la ayuda de foros y personas que sacrifican su tiempo! He tratado de aportar un poquito con algún wallpaper, alguna traducción, cosas pequeñas. Es poco, pero siempre he estado fascinado con eso de sertir que uno contribuye al desarrollo de algo tan tremendo.

Mi mayor logro ha sido reciclar los computadores antiguos de mi trabajo para equipar nuestra biblioteca. Unos 15 computadores que iban a descartar siguen funcionando bien gracias a Linux.

En fin, tengo muchas historias pero no los voy a aburrir. Estoy feliz de estar aquí. Voy a seguir intruseando con Lite. No le tenía mucha fe al principio (estaba indeciso entre Lite y MX) pero me terminó simpatizando mucho.

Que estén muy bien!!  :55:

Hello! I installed LinuxLite on an old Ideapad 300S. Here's my minimalist desktop.




The wallpaper is here: https://wallpaperscraft.com/wallpaper/an...ade_124253

I replaced the panel icons with plain circles whose colors match the programs.

Yellow is the menu:



Cyan is the file explorer:



Orange is Firefox (installed from a PPA):



Red is Textmaker word processor:



Brown is Synaptic package manager, and black is the terminal:



The rest of the indicators (network, volume, etc) are on a second, hidden panel on the right.

My laptop's specs:



I am amazed at how fast LinuxLite runs with such limited resources! Everything works perfectly! Even Netflix runs smoothly on Firefox and Chrome. Amazing!

Hello everyone!!

I'm VERY pleased to join this community. I downloaded and installed LinuxLite only yesterday on an old Ideapad 300S, and I couldn't be happier. Everything worked out of the box and, most importantly, LinuxLite FLIES on this humble Celeron N3050, with 2GB RAM. I'm amazed!

I took my first steps with Linux back in 2006 just out of curiosity. Frustrating experience at first. With no one to teach me I did some silly things like trying to install programs by downloading them from the Internet! hahah

I can't count how many distros I have tried during these years. What I do know is that Linux has made my life sooo much easier. I'm a secondary school teacher and I see how my fellow teachers suffer with their Windows machines on a daily basis.

I have made some contributions to the community here and there, a wallpaper sometimes, some translations, that kind of things, which I really appreciate. That may be the reason why you develop a close relationship with Linux. You can invest time and effort on it, and see it grow and develop. I loved that from the beginning.

I think that my greatest achievement regarding Linux has been convincing my school to use Linux to recycle some old Windows XP and Vista computers. They gave me some extra time in my contract to install Linux on our library computers and maintain them!

Let's see where LinuxLite takes me now. I'm leaving some screenshots of my Ideapad installation in the screenshots section of the forum.

Greetings from Chile!

Good morning my friends. I have a problem with my version 6.2, the system tray icons (such as the network icon, the Redshift icon and other programs that usually stay in the tray/panel while they are ''running'', do not appear. Any solution ? Thanks
