Hi!

I'm having an bit of an aesthetic issue with the installation of Free Office by SoftMaker.

When I installed it, the icons for other apps software got replaced by the FreeOffice equivalents....

Hi there!

I haven't tried to boot the computer from a CD or DVD.
I try to avoid that, so I'm not wasting CDs for a one-off.

I'll try the other suggestions from that link when I get home.

Hi there!

Sorry I'm a bit slow responding.

I used UNetbootin to create the pen drives I tried.
Never had a problem with that before on this computer, though.

Someone suggested I try booting...

Hi!


I wanted to try a live install of Lubuntu 17.04 on an old warhorse of a laptop.
It's a Toshiba Satellite A100. It is old, and a 32 bit machine.
But made to last. Living by "waste not...

Addendum:

Since I made my first post, I noticed that the Dropbox icon does not always misbehave.
Less than half the time it dose not show properly, but most of the time it does.

After a bit of...

Hi, All.

I installed Lubuntu 17.04 recently on a Netbook someone gave to me as a freebie.
It's working fine, with the exception of the Dropbox Icon.
I just get that funny does nothing icon...

Hi!

I tried to insall that DEB file, but didn't have any luck. I got an error message that a dependency (libgmp3c2) is not satisfiable. I am running 64 bit Lubuntu on an Asus X55 laptop. I used...

Thanks!

Good thing a buddy of mine is good with electronics; it was a simple fix once he figured it out.

Well, that was an easy fix! No idea why Parcellite was causing PCManFM to act like that. :confused:

I replaced Parcellite with Clipit and now it's working properly.

Thanks for that; I never...

Hi there!

A bit of an odd one happening for me lately with PCManFM. If I select a file or directory, then right click and choose either 'cut' or 'copy' all looks well. But if I go to another...

Thanks for the information all. Unfortunately SeaMonkey just didn't seem willing to work for me in Lubuntu. It was worth a shot, though.

Right! It's working proper!
:guitar:

My tech buddy popped by and had a look. Turns out the network card wasn't agreeing with this laptop one little bit. So, he swapped it with one he knew...

Hi Again!

Okay... it's sort of working now.

First thing I did, per that http://www.canbike.ca/information-technology/2013/03/12/asus-uefi-boot-from-cd-dvd-x55u.html link was the following BIOS...

HANG ON!

I do have an ethernet connector on the side of this laptop! I don't know what possessed me to think I did not! ](*,)
Anyway, what self-respecting computer user would actually bother...

Still no luck! :p

I thought it was going to start from the live install on my flash drive. As soon as the boot started, though, all I got was "empty security header" or some such message, and...

Do you mean the UEFI/EFI thing might be caleld CSM, Legacy or AHCI in the bios menu thing?

Thanks!

Hi there!

I was trying to use Lubuntu 13.04 amd64; sorry I forgot to mention that.

I'll try it again and see if I can't disable that EFI (rubbish) properly; it's all new to me! :confused:
...

Hi there...

I just had a look at the X55U BIOS menu and could find nothing that looked like a EFI or UEFI section; is it buried in there somewhere?

The various menus and such I found were:

Hi there!

I just bought an Asus X55u because it was a demo model on sale cheap. I wanted to get rid of Windows 8 and install Lubuntu in its place.

HOWEVER, I cannot seem to install Lubuntu on...

Hi there!

Does anyone know how to go about installing theh Mozilla Sea Monkey Internet suite in Lubuntu? I tried a couple of things for it yesterday, but didn't really have much luck with it.
...

At least I'm not the only one. Hopefully they'll figure this one out soon.

I also updated my PC to Xubuntu 13.04 (my laptop runs on Lubuntu and I use Xubuntu on my desktop PC); and Phatch won't...

Hi!

I just upgraded from Lubuntu 12.10 to 13.10 on my laptop yesterday. It seems to be okay; for the most part.

However the application phatch won't work. The first time I tried running it I...

Hi there!

I use the Sylpheed email client quite a lot; since Lubuntu is my laptop OS. One thing that would be nice, though, is having a plug in that allows you to see HTML messages as they're...

Hi!

Up until today, I could never get sound for the task alerts in OSMO on my laptop (using Lubuntu) nor my Desktop (using Xubuntu). I managed to stumble on the solution today. I needed to...

ARGH!! I stumbled onto the problme with OSMO not starting up properly for me in Lubuntu. It was a simple typing error in my ~/.config/autostart/osmo.desktop file!

The error was this line:...
