  My problems with Linux Lite so far, a brief summary of problems Linux Lite has.
Posted by: AdrianKoshka - 04-12-2016, 05:32 AM - Forum: Linux Lite Software Development - Replies (30)

If you to read want my secret gist I put on gist.github.com that I wrote in markdown click the link https://gist.github.com/AdrianKoshka/d25...e37b72f6e8
Otherwise this will pretty much be a reiteration of my gist post.

Through the short time I've been helping a community member with his projects I've seen a little bit of the development process of Linux Lite...and to be honest it terrifies me. This will serve as a brief overview of what I find wrong with the Linux Lite Development Model.

Linux Lite Issues

This document will serve to hopefully compile all issues I see with various projects done by Linux Lite. I feel this is a better way to do things as the current system is not oriented towards teamwork (the lack of a github organization really needs to be fixed, no offense).

Documentation

Documentation is severely lacking in Linux lite, and the manual is--not the best either. I don't say these accusations though without providing suggestions, also I've started my own person rewrite of the Linux Lite Manual in gitbook, which can be found here https://www.gitbook.com/book/adriankoshk...al/details It's a WIP.

Github Organization

NOTE: DON'T GET BUTTHURT READING THIS, KEEP YOUR COOL, I'M BEING SERIOUS

To give proper credit to authors, whether it be for documentation, code, etc a github organization NEEDS to be setup. This hacky method of keeping a distributions projects under a user account is simply not acceptable. Some reasons this isn't accept are:

  • It makes it look like authors have COPIED their ORIGINAL works!
  • It doesn't foster a sense of community.
  • It makes it harder for people who want to help contribute.
  • It slows down progress.

that is just a short list of reasons why. A github organization will allow for Linux Lite to grow faster, for reasons such as:
  • The community has more involvement.
  • More people can take time to fix things.
  • More work can be done independently
  • More issues can be addressed
  • A smoother work flow can be achieved.
  • Less overhead.

Things That NEED fixing

These applications at this point don't have what I feel would meet minimum documentation requirements.

Minimum "Documentation" Requirements for README.md

You may see this and say "woah! That's a majority of the repos in your list!" and sadly this is true. Though I have very basic requirements for the README.md file of all repos.
  • A short description of the applications' function.
  • A screenshot or two, depends on what the application is I suppose.
  • A list of Depends
  • there is no arguing here, it'll make the job of future devs easier!
  • An Alphabetically sorted, bulleted list of authors.
  • Credits

for an example of this, see the lite-updater repo. https://github.com/linuxlite/lite-updater

Belongs somewhere ELSE

A list of repos/software that is not in the "correct" location.

Clean up "Abandonware"

This section is for stuff I don't know whether LL uses anymore, that should be cleaned up.

  Slimjet Browser
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 04-09-2016, 04:16 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

Trying out Slimjet browser as mentioned elsewhere by  Bugfree.
Can't see to get pepperflash nonfree 32 bit installed - No BBC Iplayer function.
Any ideas - is pepperflashfree dead now with Chrome 32bit?

Looking in Synaptic for slimjet  properties - installed files
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
/opt/slimjet/PepperFlash/manifest.json
are present.
But under slimjet://plugins  pepperFlash does not appear??
what am I missing? Tks

All I see is
[table][tr][td][table][tr][td][color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Adobe Flash Player - Version: 21.0.0.197Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0[/color][/td][/tr][/table][/td][/tr][/table]
Which are disabled.

UPDATE
http://www.slimjet.com/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=903

[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]• quote="flashpeak" There is actually one catch about 32-bit linux. We wouldn't be able to continue provide flash updates to the 32-bit version of Slimjet for linux. Originally, we just grabbed it from the Chrome package. After Chrome dropped 32-bit linux support, we will have no source of flash updates for linux. Sorry, guys.[/color]

  Asus EeePC 1001 Netbook Keyboard
Posted by: allanh - 04-09-2016, 12:35 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hello,

I have an EeePC Asus 1001 Netbook with a Spanish keyboard. I cannot get the keyboard to work properly. The keyboard has a number pad that works with the Fn key. There are letters under the numbers. I cannot get the letters to work only numbers appear.

In the Lite config there is no Asus keyboard but there is an EeePC keyboard. This does not work.

I was running Mint on this Netbook but like Lite.

Please help.


Allan

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Have just installed LL 2.8 32 bit on an old Dell Dimension 3000.

Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling chromium adding pepperflash in synaptic.

Still no joy.
