  Upgrade from Linux Lite 3.0 to 3.2
Posted by: hughparker1 - 01-19-2017, 09:26 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

I have a multi-boot setup on an old DELL Vostro 1520 (BIOS setup) with Linux Lite 3.0 in charge of grub, which works well. 

I would like to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 but have a couple of questions before I do this...

I read on the Release Announcement page that the Lite Upgrade won't do: New Grub config (potential to ruin peoples existing multi-boot setups)

Does this mean that if the upgraded Linux Lite is NOT in charge of grub menu it won't boot?  (so same behavior as 3.0)

Would I need to do a fresh install of 3.2 to get the NEW  multi boot with other distros functionality?

I'm guessing fresh install is the answer but I'm not entirely sure so any advice would be appreciated.

  Kodi sound settings
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 01-19-2017, 01:22 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

Hello,
I installed Kodi from Lite Software.
I made one change so far, I added from the options, Sveriges Radio.
Top right of Kodi I have a red sound icon, the stations of Sveriges Radio I have tried are playing but without any sound.
I have looked at the Kodi setting panel under audio, there does not seem to be any muted.

Update - I have uninstalled Kodi for now.
I can wait until Kodi release a new version and then try.

  corrupted file in firefox
Posted by: tomt - 01-18-2017, 11:54 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

Not being an IT specialist and having only been using Linux for 5 yrs. I`ve not been able to solve an anomaly with Firefox. I use Sophos-av and no matter what O/S I download including LL Firefox is shown with a corrupted file unless I do not install or sign in.This shows up in Arch, Antergos, Manjaro, Mint, LL, peppermint and any of the Ubuntu flavors with one exception, Ubuntu 16.04.1. I have uninstalled Firefox in LL and the file remains. I double checked with clam a-v on a couple of O/S s and it shows a Trojan in Firefox. Signed in to Ubuntu LTS with exact same sign for Firefox with the exact same apps and no corrupted file. I had been using opera and chrome along with Firefox and I can only assume the problem must be in my Firefox when I log in except it is not in Ubuntu. To reproduce the problem simply download free sophos, install and run scan. Others may have the file also and not even know it is there.

  Sending pictures from Shotwell by email
Posted by: Richard B - 01-18-2017, 08:35 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies



I have just started using Shotwell for image management and basic editing and like it. However, I found that trying to send pictures by email (single or selected, edited or original) directly from it failed. Google took me to ubuntuforums.org message 2058352 where Edward Comer says that
[/size]

Quote:
[/size]Shotwell depends on nautilus-sendto (in an executable path) to function, which is missing in a pure XFCE installation.
[/size]

[/size]Edward offers a script to re-direct the action but I had problems with file permissions and tried using a simlink instead, thus:
[/size]
Code:
cd /usr/local/bin

[/size]
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/Thunar/thunar-sendto-email nautilus-sendto

[/size]This works. The destination of the symlink was found from /usr/share/Thunar/sendto/thunar-sendto-email.desktop and will be different for 32bit Linux. I used a symlink (-s option) rather than a hard link to reduce the possibility of problems with software upgrades.
[/size]The symlink diverts anything intended for nautilus-sendto to thunar-sendto-email
[/size]
[/size]Apologies for the /size insertions which I don't seem able to disable.

  Error while installing updates on Linux Lite 3.2
Posted by: Mr A - 01-18-2017, 07:52 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to Linux and just installed Linux Lite 3.2

Just tried to do a sudo apt-get update from terminal and i do get an error message:

Fetched 1,025 kB in 4s (231 kB/s)

Is that normal?

Someone suggested to ping 91.189.92.152 which seems to work...

Apologies if it's a stupid question, but I am pretty new to Linux so not sure how to solve it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

  3.2 so far so good
Posted by: bluzeo - 01-17-2017, 01:58 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (8)

like the title says. my experiance with the 3.2 been good. but here what i dont like. after i login my wallpaper moves to the side and then refreshes itself. the refresh fixes the wallpaper but it an lil irrating to me. yes that an small gripe but it one i notice. i am so loving the latter of the usage though. barely any strange behaviors like arch. plus i say this may give mom a chance for her MAC to go bye bye. i for one love linux and id tired of the consent run ahout with updates.
