Lite Tweaks - Suggestions welcomed

[Valtam]

New version available via Updates. Misko has done some amazing work on this, he's removed the need to call separate scripts. The whole program now runs from just 2 files. This has significantly reduced the size of the package to a mere 8.3kb whilst also removing the need to enter your password multiple times.

Give the man a hand, some of his best code to date!

If I run "sudo apt-get upgrade" does that give me the update?

Synaptic gives me a size of 25.6 kB for Lite Cleaner which I assume is Lite Tweaks.

I selected 3 of the early options and ran them but then I had to go to the menu to run Tweaks again to run other options, I was expecting to return to the tweak screen after it had run it's tasks.

Definatelly not a complaint just some feedback.

Go Misko go, well done that man!


In synaptic I'm running lite-cleaner version 1.0-0190-linuxlite

Thank you ukbrian and Jerry.
ukbrian, I'll see if it's possible to return to the main dialog after all tasks are complete.

It's possible I'll add this in the next update.First need to run some tests. Thank you ukbrian for a suggestion. Cheers

Hello!

IIRC, unless something changed, typing 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on an LL system is NOT a good idea. I believe it has to do with the modifications that make LL distinctly different from Xubuntu...

Best practice is to always follow the distros specific update method. In LL's case it's, Menu > Favorites > Install Updates.

Done, I'll release an updated package within the next few days.

Thanx for that Jerry & the Team , I like the new feature that removes the need to constantly enter pwd . A nice surprise this morning ( here ) when I did it  .

I ran the new one in my LL install so I only saw the start and end screens so I tried to run it on the live DVD but no luck even if I su'ed so I've done a fresh install and when I've customized the install I'll do a video with some suggestions that I'll PM to you friend.

I had a bespoke office app written in front of me in Visual Basic, I learnt a lot so I'm used to working with devs but I'm into all the bells and whistles if they simplify or make it more intuative for the normal end user.

@N4RPS Thanks for the info, if you ever think I'm doing something wrong or ill advised please tell me so I'm not giving bad advice to users, I can correct the post then or anybody with permission.

What does IIRC mean?

That's really bad news, Linux owes Ubuntu a lot for introducing folk to Linux but it's not Debian copatable any more.

This is an LTS but when the next Debian Stable is released shortly it will be 12 months ahead of the Ubuntu LTS, crazy.

I seem to remember something about firefox having something to do with this, why firefox ESR isn't the default browser I don't know, latest and greatest = always equals more problems, you can have a portable version of FX unzipped in a folder and have the latest version install and using the same profiles.

Pardon an old fool, I guess I was on automatic, I looked in "System and Accessories", there's no fool quite like an old Welsh fool! gotta go and see where you parked it.

Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;

Well I should have found it in accessories, why Accessories not Utilities?

I think the problems is that the file name is still the same as the template you used "exo-file-manager.desktop", I renamed it and stuck it in ~/.local and it appeared in the menu.

I'm off to install vokoscreen and relax making a video of lite-updater.


I much prefer PhotoBucket to Imgur, more pleasant to use.

Well here it is, if I can improve my videos for you Misko tell me how assuming they are of any use to you at all.
