I keep getting a box opening up every couple of days informing me that my system needs to be updated and that so many Mb will be installed. I have been following the instructions, but now I am not sure where they are coming from as they are what I would expect from a rolling distro...am I worried for no reason?

  Partitioning a hard drive
Posted by: AZ - 10-03-2014, 06:03 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (10)

I'm trying to put LL on a Windows XP computer and I'm not given the option to install LL alongside XP. I have approx. 10GB of free space. The help manual says I may need to partition my hard drive. I've never partitioned a hard drive and I could use some help. If someone could give me step by step instructions, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

  Preview and download images and files with zenity dialog
Posted by: anon222 - 10-03-2014, 01:38 AM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - No Replies

I've experimented with --text-info, I've discovered it is possible to view and download images and any other files with it with just drag and drop.
Hrere we go, with this it's easy to quick grab images.
This script opens Scot(0)'s image from imgur.com in zenity dialog
Image can be dragged to the Desktop.
It will copy the image to the Desktop.
--checkbox can be removed here Smile

Code:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --text-info --title="Forums" --width=1000 --height=800  --html --url="http://i.imgur.com/7izQZgD.jpg" --checkbox="I'm sure I want to remove Windows"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
      zenity --info --text="You clicked OK,\nWindows destroyed. :)"
else
       exit 0
fi

This script opens /github.com/linuxlite/litesoftware
Find a button 'Download ZIP', drag it to the desktop
It will copy master.zip on the Desktop
Code:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --text-info --title="Forums" --width=1000 --height=800  --html --url="https://github.com/linuxlite/litesoftware"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
      zenity --info --text="You clicked OK"
else
       exit 0
fi

This oone opens dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/ and does nothing special Smile
No link can be used or clicked.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --text-info --title="Forums" --width=850 --height=800  --html --url="http://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
      zenity --info --text="You clicked OK"
else
       exit 0
fi

The last one opens a local index.html file but doesn't load any images.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --text-info --title="Forums" --width=850 --height=800  --html --filename="/usr/share/doc/litemanual/index.html"
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
      zenity --info --text="You clicked OK"
else
       exit 0
fi
Anyway the script can be used instead of --question dialog
Just need to replace  'zenity --info --text="You clicked OK"' with a command.

  Lite Cleaner minor problem
Posted by: Coastie - 10-02-2014, 08:36 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

After cleaning my computer, Lite Cleaner always shows 84K of package cache still to be removed and still some thumbnail cache to be removed.

Otherwise seems to be working it because it apparently removes whatever more than 84k of package cache that was shown and  after Firefox is cleaned, it does not show up immediately afterwards at all.

  Install updates entry missing from whisker menu
Posted by: justme2 - 10-02-2014, 11:20 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

My first install of LL2.0 eventually had a corrupted menu, including loss of 'Install Updates' entry. So I re-installed LL2.0 a few days ago and again the Install Updates entry has gone. I have not clicked the Restore button, so it seems the Whisker menu is buggy. However, I had made a note of the command for the update entry and created a new entry under System, which runs the update script and seems to be OK. I would just like to be reassured that my action to correct this will not cause later problems.

Also, what is the purpose of the 'Install Release' menu entry? I have already installed the latest release version.

TIA for any response.

  New Linux Lite 2.0 review by UrAvgLinuxUser

He only had two criticisms One that when you right click on desktop "Applications" was on the bottom. I think that is default Xfce. Second that for his personal use, it was too easy.

I can live with that.  Wink

  Updates withheld
Posted by: pete284 - 10-01-2014, 09:32 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

I regularly run Install Updates, I recently noticed that the script was saying 19 updates withheld. I noticed that the new Lite Cleaner was not being installed either.

Anyway I left it but recently had a major error with LibreOffice  when it refused to save any documents giving the error: libre office 4.2.6.2 write error error writing file. This was the same on all 3 profiles on the machine and I even removed all the libreoffice profiles and created new ones to see if this fixed it but it did not.

I tried the install updates but again  it said it was holding back the libreoffice updates (amongst others).

I then booted  up Synaptic which confirmed I had 19 updates of 340mb in size. I applied these updates which installed both lite cleaner and updated LibreOffice to version 4.3.2.2. I ran the lite cleaner after the updates and all is back to normal now where I have the ability to save LibreOffice files.

I was wondering why the install updates script was holding back these updates (which obviously were causing issues on this machine)

  Very Slow Software Startup
Posted by: Duckeenie - 10-01-2014, 01:39 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

First of all it only seems right that I begin by saying thanks for what appears to be a wonderful distro so far, please keep up the good work.

I do however have the following problem that I hope somebody can help with:

When I run "Install additional software" and "NTFS configuration tool" both take around 3-5 minutes before they are visible and ready to use, during the wait the system is also very unresponsive. All the other programs I've tried seem to work perfectly.

Any ideas? Anything I can do to troubleshoot further?

PS: I just noticed it exhibits the same behavior when login out, in fact it consistently takes 2:37 secs. Shutting down from the terminal works fine.
