Install Flat Icons

Open a terminal window and run:

cd /usr/share/libreoffice/share/config/ && sudo mv images_human.zip images_human.zip.backup && sudo wget http://blog.goranrakic.com/archives/slike/images_flat.zip -O images_human.zip

If the command above outputs something like mv: cannot stat ‘images_human.zip’: No such file or directory, use this command instead:

cd /usr/share/libreoffice/share/config/ && sudo mv images.zip images.zip.backup && sudo wget http://blog.goranrakic.com/archives/slike/images.zip -O images.zip

      After you run the command just reopen some LibreOffice application (Writer, Calc, ...) and you'll notice that the icons changed.

    Just wanted to say I'm glad you're back. I'm using Mint KDE now but this is still one of my go-to-blogs and I'm happy that it was just a longer break in posting.
    So thanks for all your hard work I will keep reading no matter what distro I use!

[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

Image
When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...' It seems that this problem is related to credentials and can be fixed by entering the credentials for the Samba share in the VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Input / Codecs > Access Modules > SMB Input): Note: I only experienced this problem when accessing remote files with PCManFM.
