How do i manually set up system wide proxy settings?
Thank you. 

Hello,

I have the layout set to Portuguese (standard) and the keyboard is not mapped correctly.
I have to go into the Keyboard settings, change to a different layout and then change back to Portuguese to get the correct layout.

I have to do this every time I boot to get the correct layout. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this to stick?

  After a failed update I restarted my PC and end up stuck at the login screen, but the system was configured to start without the login screen, and so it did until I had this problem.
  When I type my password the screen only gets dark for a moment and I get redirected to the login screen again. (Yes I'm sure that I'm typing the right password, I've already tested with a wrong one).
  I have some work that I really can't lose on it, so just reinstaling it is not an option, unless I could access and copy those files to a flash drive, but if I could just solve this problem it will be perfect.

  I'm a rookie when it comes to linux, so any advice will be greatly apprecieted.

Hi forum.
I just happens to stumble over this video on youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3px2vVWFuRg

Sadly it turns out that there are some dishonest people out there taking advance of this wonderful Linux distro  - re-branding and selling it as "windows 12".

When trying to install linux lite in a virtual machine, I was not able to install as when the installer is retrieving files, one of the sections hangs at 91 of 95 files. Does anyone have a solution for this? I am using virtual box to install the OS.

Hi,
I have a problem with Palemoon browser.It stopped updating and displays a message saying that the key is invalid.I remode the PPA and key et redid the install procedure but have the same error.
I'm guessing the 20.04 version should be OK but I was just wondering if I should just remove the PPA/Key and install the .deb file manually.
Anyone else using this browser on previous Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux Lite 4.x ?

I got the Updates available pop up this morning, had a quick glance and approved. Then I got a failure and request that I post this here in the forum

Not sure if this is a related issue or not. I've installed BODHI and LLITE on same computer (Windows + Apple free) I was planning on installing a few others to test but haven't gotten to it yet. Anyhow all was well until at some stage LLITE wouldn't log me in and soon thereafter GRUB stopped functioning so I could only log into BODHI (1st on GRUB list - couldn't scroll down). I tinkered around from GRUB trying to increase space 21GB for each partition and adjust things around, Copied partition and placed in a new location. Still nothing worked, then after 5-6 weeks GRUB is working, both instances of LLITE are working, but now BODHI has dissapeared from GRUB  :o

Anybody else experience such behaviour? I am guessing one of the programs I installed on LLITE or BODHI or an UPDATE on LLITE screwed up my LLITE install. Not sure how it got fixed. Perhaps a recent attempt to go into Advance/Secure mode and run updates.?

I've been using an external HD to transfer files between my linux system and my windows PC. Tonight it wouldn't let me write to the disk. No matter what I did I got errors like chown: changing ownership of '/media/MYNAME/STORAGE': Read-only file system
(STORAGE is the name of the disk.)
When I look in the GUI properties tab it says I have read and write access but no groups have anything but read access. However, I plainly do not have write access. I've looked online for the last hour and I know this is a common issue in linux, but I've never run into it before and so far all the terminal commands I have seen suggested don't do anything useful; the disk stays read only. I have to get this working again!

I can write to it fine in Windows.

Hello,

I have recently installed Linux Lite (LL) v5.2 as a dual boot with Windows 10 Home on two (out of 3) laptops and it is a pleasure using it. The installation was smooth and the available on LL website installation guide was very helpful.
Many thanks to the Linux Lite developers. My initial impression is that LL works faster than Windows 10 on my laptops and requires less RAM.

My third laptop (Acer 3023 with Sempron 3000+ and 1.25GB ram) was too old for LL, and its only OS is Debian 10 i386 with lxqt, chosen after a dozen of experiments.

Following the Linux Lite tutorials and tips from Ubuntu forums, I was able to connect all laptops and OS (Linux Lite, Windows 10 Home, Debian 10) in a small network and its work is satisfying, especially after the installation of Barrier, which allows me to use one keyboard and mouse for all laptops and OS.

I have though one problem that prevents me using LL on my ACER 5745G, 8GB, i5-460M laptop during my home office working hours.

I need to connect the laptop to my employer’s VPN server, which uses SSTP, while been able to keep the access to Internet for other applications.

I was able to connect the laptop with LL to the VPN server, but then I lost the connection to Internet. Chrome and Firefox just say there is some DNS error and refuse to work.

I have been able to establish the connection with the same laptop with Windows 10 and mapped a network drive to the company’s server, without any problems. Thus, I believe that the hardware, internet connection and user login data are tested successfully.

What I have done by now is the following:

Windows 10 Home:
1. Network Settings -> Add a VPN connection
2. Filled the Connection name, Server name, VPN type (sstp), and sign in info.
3. I entered the server IP in File Explorer address bar, selected the shared folder, and used my office network login data.
4. Mapped the shared folder and successfully used it ever after.

Linux Lite v. 5.2, following various advices and tips found on the LL tutorials and Ubuntu forums:
1. Installed CIFS-utils

password=<my office network password>
