Hi,
I see Ask Bob Rankin has sent out an alert. There is a new USB threat involving Flash drives having infected firmware that can not be scanned for! They are suggesting you toss any Flash drives that have ever been plugged into a public computer! What is this gonna do to the Live Distro on a stick and portable programs market?

Do Linux users need to be concerned?

Thanks

Hi!

What driver should be used for this card?

I am having a problem with LibreOffice crashing. Yesterday, I opened a MS spreadsheet with LibreOffice. I tried to save it as a xls spreadsheet but it crashed. I e-mailed the spreadsheet to save on my Mac and deleted it on my LL computer. Now when I try to open LibreOffice (any program in it), it offers to recover the document but can't. When I click "Finish" it just closes and will not continue on to open the program.

I would just uninstall then reinstall with Synaptic but the most recent updates say it is holding back some LibreOffice updates. There must be a good reason to hold back those updates.

So how should I solve this problem?  :-\

When you run Install Updates command it opens the terminal, runs the update script and then closes the terminal:



How to prevent the terminal from closing? I have modified the command and it seems to be working ok but I would appreciate confirmation that my code is ok:

Howdy from the Chihuahua Desert. I ride Harleys and run Linux. I am a distro team member on a couple of distros.
AntiX and MacPup. I just received this  Dell XP2 Touchscreen Tablet/Netbook from Fedex this evening and felt
like letting you folks know what works on here.

This netbook has no hard drive yet, No power adapter, No pen (wacom type), but I could not pass it up for 50 bucks on ebay.

Well 14 yrs of linux and I got to say this is the best one yet!!
Ubuntu was always good ,because it has awesome updates, and repositories, but it has become way to heavy, same thing with a lot of others... keeping things LITE! just seems to be the way Linux likes to run.... Don`t you agree?

My Wifi is working to my Router OK --I am connected to write this

I am not getting the Network Manager Icon on my Panel  so I cannot see what other Wifi networks are available or turn-off wifi etc

Tried reinstalling the network managers in Synaptic

Did an upgrade

Tried http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/fix-lubun...nager.html -- directed there from Ubuntu Forum

Quote:To fix the Network Manager not showing up on the panel issue, from the Lubuntu menu select Preferences > Default applications for LXSession, then click on the Autostart tab and under "Manual autostarted applications" type "nm-applet", then click the "+ Add" button on the left:

While I appreciate the power of this program and other lightweight graphics programs (for example mtpaint) does it belong in this distro, where the front page of the website propounds LL's 'simple intuitive design'? To me, it's interface is quirky and grates with the other programs that ship with LL. Given that GIMP is included and that it can do most if not all of what ImageMagick can, what purpose does the latter serve?

Please understand that this is just feedback, not criticism.. I can happily ignore the program or remove it

PS Whether or not it belongs in LL, I don't understand why it's menu entry has '(display)' after the program name - what does that mean?

I've used Puppy on and off since 2005, Fedora six months or so then Mint 13 & 17 for the last year or so (which we now use at work instead of Windows). I bought a new laptop a few months back when I decided to stop using Windows at home and I've been looking for something stable with LTS, so probably Ubuntu based, but  more nimble than Mint. From what I've seen so far Linux Lite seems to fit the bill nicely
