Video - Making LL Your Own

[Scott(0)]

Definitely for a newcomer to Linux Lite, this video will take a newly installed LL desktop to a customized desktop. Minimal effort and skill required.

Tried to add the "Plastic Icons" in the video

Using the:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/icons
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install colored-plastic-icons

I get this:

Code:

Unpacking colored-plastic-icons (1.5~trusty~NoobsLab.com) ...
Setting up colored-plastic-icons (1.5~trusty~NoobsLab.com) ...
gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0: The generated cache was invalid.
WARNING: icon cache generation failed for /usr/share/icons/ColoredPlastic

Icons install, and are selectable, but why the error.??
Any ideas on this.??

EDIT
Based on another similar experience I tried

Code:

sudo su
then a:
# gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/ColoredPlastic

Gives a "already exists error"
Thanks... Dave

Hi Wirezfree,

The forum shows you on LL 1.0.8, is that true?

If you are on LL 108, see the bottom of the Noobslab plastic icon page here for a possible alternate way of installing.
http://www.noobslab.com/2014/05/colored-...n-set.html

The bottom of the page will show these commands

Code:

wget -O coloredplastic-NoobsLab.com.deb http://goo.gl/72D7W
sudo dpkg -i coloredplastic-NoobsLab.com.deb
rm coloredplastic-NoobsLab.com.deb

Before installing with the commands above use Synaptic to search and remove any traces of package - colored-plastic-icons
