Linux Lite 2.6 Suggestion Thread

@TMG1961,

If you're using two-factor authentication with Gmail, I think you need to use their "application specific password" with email clients like Thunderbird.  This link might help:  https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en.

Tried it but i can't get it to work with gmail. My other email works fine but it keeps telling me my username or password is wrong for gmail. Both checked and both correct.

I use Gmail and it works just fine, so you might be doing something wrong.

I still havent been able to get gmail working, keeps telling me that password or username is wrong. Not using two-factor authentication with gmail, just username and password. When i use them on the website it works but it doesnt with mail watch. My other emailadress works fine with it.

At this point, you two should perhaps either pm each other, or start a new thread for this issue so as not to go to much more off topic in this 2.6 Suggestion thread. Thank you

[TMG1961]

sorry Jerry.

Hi Jerry !

I think it could be a "booster" (perhaps for us older gnome users), if you could enable DUAL PANES in coming soon LL 2.6 (using it right now, so far grand).

I suggest either :

a. THUNAR file manager (default) with dual pane (F3 on/off) function.

    or

b. Include also NEMO file manager aside THUNAR so that purists don't get annoyed.

I have found instructions on how to enable dual pane on THUNAR, but as stated by author, its an elementary tweak ( http://www.webupd8.org/2014/11/split-vie...hunar.html ). Works fine but not quite like Nautilus ... mouse right button functions. Sorry I'm no programmer to fix something your team could test.

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback.

Dual panes is not something we would look at. This distro is aimed at Windows folk new to linux. Therefore it must be familiar and intuitive. The kind of modification you suggest would be better implemented by those who want/need it. Thank you though

Hey...

1) How about shipping by default some Firewall GUI (dunno which one, it's up to you. Maybe even enable it by default, if it is good idea).

2) Also THEME CONFIGURATION (gtk-theme-config), not necessary though.

3) Also some LightDM GUI settings manager, and Plymouth GUI settings manager (if they exist). I know there's a one for LightDM GTK+

Or I would replace lightdm-webkit-greeter with lightdm-gtk-greeter. Why? Webkit-greeter causes black screen for some users, this bug was reported years ago, not fixed...

https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm-webki...ug/1154065

Not sure how many users are affected though. Would be useless if this is a rare bug. But personally, I had to install lightdm-gtk-greeter and use IT instead of webkit.

4) Also, I would add search button / space in Thunar if it is possible. (to search file / folder in the current window, like in Ubuntu for example). It's annoying to switch to catfish for this simple task, or am I missing something?

5) And how could I forget this? Automatic updates! (At least the security updates).

6) Split screen for Thunar / dual window or whatever you call it. But I guess it's up to the Thunar developers.
