  Simple to use Anti Virus frontend for Linux
Posted by: valtam - 12-27-2016, 06:02 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (16)

Have started coding with Yad, and I'm finding it extremely flexible.
The front end is far from finished but I'm going to make this distro friendly so that other distributions can take advantage of it.
The AV engine is ClamAV.

I feel the linux world is missing a simple to use, AV client.
There's no date yet when this will be available, it's just something that I'm hacking in my spare time.

  New Linux Lite User
Posted by: Ironfighter - 12-27-2016, 03:41 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

At last after many years tinkering with Linux I have come across a Linux Version that suits my needs:

Hopeless Tinkerer
Liable to break something
Collector of Software

After many years of being the scourge of IT guys that I worked with I can now in my retirement tinker to my hearts content.

I installed LL3 on a 32G USB stick with persistence.  Everything is working!!

I installed Drop Box and Mega - 50G of free storage with a Firefox addon.  I am on cloud 9 :Smile

The absolute clincher for me was when I installed this printer driver (Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.11) on my Fuji Xerox 3 in 1 - Docuprint M225 dw). It worked - yeah!

Thank you guys very much for producing such a user friendly Linux OS.  I will be back shortly when I have broken something.

  Firefox and Thunderbird crash on Linux Lite 3.2
Posted by: Zosj - 12-26-2016, 10:38 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

I recently installed Linux Lite 3.2 on an old HP Pavilion A110.be Desktop. I increased the RAM to 1GB.

The problem is that both Firefox and Thunderbird crash when started up. I reinstalled firefox several times, also older versions, but the problem stays. When I boot the computer from the USB-stick with Linux on it, firefox and thunderbird run smooth. I also tried to install other browsers, such as Opera and Midori, but when I try to run them, they just disappear. To make a long story short, I cannot access the internet when I start up the computer normally from it's hard drive.

Can anyone help me?
Thx,
Zosj

  Firefox ends support for Windows XP & Vista
Posted by: Ottawagrant - 12-26-2016, 05:13 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

Not really a shocking or surprising story. XP is 15 years old & Vista is 10. Version 52 of Firefox will be the last XP &Vista compatible version. Not a surprise, Google Chrome did it last year. Here's a link to the store, which is really a non-story. Plus in April of 2017 Microsoft has reached end of life for Vista. You may now return to your eggnog.

  Linux Lite Services Status page
Posted by: valtam - 12-24-2016, 02:22 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (7)

You can now check which services are up/down in Linux Lite.

In time, I'll be splitting off the Mirrors information on the Download page to a new page that will also show mirror service status. This will hopefully nullify the pain of adding a repo that doesn't work  :o

To whom this may concern about updates. May want to pay attention even during the Holidays to new security updates.

  Filezilla FTP/SFTP client makes it to Lite Software
Posted by: ralphy - 12-23-2016, 06:01 AM - Forum: On Topic - No Replies

Hi all,

We were missing a File Transfer application in our Lite Software list. Not anymore! We have now included the well known and popular Filezilla to Lite Software. FileZilla is a powerful file management tool for FTP/FTPS/SFTP access to remote servers. Containing numerous tools to help upload and download files between your local machine and the remote server you're connecting to.

If you're an enthusiast inclined to customize your system, you can download a couple icons themes I use myself for Filezilla (hope you like them).

Lite-X Filezilla Icons Theme

Lite-Faenza Icons Theme

To add these icons themes having installed Filezilla:

1- Extract the downloaded theme(s)
2- Open /usr/share/filezilla/resources/ as administrator and copy lite-x and/or lite-faenza into it.
3- Launch Filezilla and navigate to Edit => Settings => Themes. Select your desired theme and restart Filezilla.
