1. First open the Thunar file manager, select a folder or a file and try to use a keyboard key combination.
This way you will make sure it doesn't conflict with any other keyboard shortcut.
2. Open this folder ~/.config/Thunar
There you'll see two files
accels.scm
uca.xml
3. Make a backup of these two files, Right-click > Create backup copy
4. Open both files with Leafpad and move the windows so you can see both file contents.
5. In the file uca.xml you will find all the info (name and unique-id).
In this file you will se this
<action>
<icon>utilities-terminal</icon>
<name>Open Terminal Here</name>
<unique-id>1399556281403860-1</unique-id>
<command>x-terminal-emulator -t &quot;Command Line&quot;</command>
<description>Open Terminal Here</description>
<patterns>*</patterns>
<startup-notify/>
<directories/>
</action>
Find the Thunar custom action name For example Open Terminal Here.
Look for unique-id in this example 1399556281403860-1, but you might have a different value.
6. In the file accels.scm search for that id
You will find the id in this line:

1. Open the Thunar file manager
2. Click on Edit and then on Configure custom actions
3. Add A new custom action by clicking on a '+' button
4. Enter this in the text boxes:
Name: Move files
Description: Move files.
Command:

Just a warning - I am not sure if this is the right place.

I tried to dual boot LinuxLite with Windows 8.1, but had problems with the Grub loader.

I re-installed version 2 of LL, and the installer realised I had another LL already loaded, and asked if I wanted to
1. install using the entire disk (no, as I had W8 already installed),
2. install alongside the earlier version (no, as I wanted to replace the LL version)
3. install over the earlier LL (yes, I mistakenly thought)
or 4. something else (which would have given me control over disk usage).

I chose 3, and the install took the entire disk, wiping out W8 (not a great problem for me, as I have other computers), but could be a problem for others.


So, a word of warning - be very careful when upgrading dual boot systems!

This will be a general problem for all Ubuntu derived systems, I assume, not just LinuxLite.

Hello All,

I may go back to school to get another degree. My laptop is about 6 years old (a Lenovo R61) and I am wondering if anyone has used Linux Lite with university programs. Most places will either require a Mac or a Windows based laptop, and they usually utilize some kind of software such as Blackboard. Has anyone gone back to school with Linux Lite? I don't want to buy another laptop if I can help it, but I don't want to start a semester with "the wrong stuff" as that will put me behind in my studies.

Thanks!

There are two ways to do this:
 
One is to rename your file or folder and add a dot as the first character in the file/folder new name.
Example:
file  -- .file
folder -- .folder
You can do it by right-clicking on the file/folder and then on Rename. I mostly use the F2 key to rename files and folders.
If you want to use the command line:

I've found this usefull script on linux mint 17 xfce live dvd. It is licenced under GNU GPL3.
I've managed to make it work in LL2.
Nice script for installing .ttf fonts.



I'd like to see this in the next LL.
The post is too long to show all the instructions...
Here they are:

I'm trying to get the Linux ports of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Linux Lite.

I'm following these instructions for RTCW, and I'm using the UK installer from here for MOH:AA.

I had no issues with installing RTCW, although I don't seem to have pak0.pk3, from my wine installed windows version.

I'm guessing because of this, it won't run, here's what I'm getting from the terminal:

Not sure what part of the OS or packages are malfunctioning here. Running LL1.0.8

All windows are chopped off such that the right side of the window is gone. This includes the maximize, minimize and close buttons. This is happening on all windows. File mgr, terminal Tbird, firefox, filezilla... everything. I can not access menu functions on R side of windows like the mozilla stuff. 

I tried starting in recovery mode and ran repair packages. Didn't work. I tried a system update didn't work. I am wondering if uninstalling and reinstalling windows mgr and or thunar might do the trick, but I don't know the commands to do this.

I also though about reinstalling the OS and ugrading to ver 2, but I don;t know if I have to backup files, which is a problem because I can't see the files that would be displaying on the right side of the file mgr windows.

Please help! I have work to do today and can't

Thanks

My laptop is dual boot with Win7 and Xubuntu. I would like to remove Xubuntu and install LL2. Not sure what to do. I don't want to mess up the Win7 system as my daughter needs Office and Photoshop for school.

When I installed Xubuntu I had 30gb free in Win7. I told the Xubuntu installer to use 12gb. When it finished Win7 had 8gb free and it used 22gb. Win7 is now a pain with very little free space. So...Could I allocate less space for Linux Lite and grow the Win7 partition a little? Is there a way to uninstall Xubuntu? What happens to the boot loader in all these changes?

My drive layout is below. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
