I am setting up Linux Lite 4.8 for an older relative, who is not computer literate, so I would like to hide the 'Delete' option from the right-click menu, because they don't know the different between 'Delete' and 'Move to Trash'.

I have two drives:
1. File System
2. Storage (NTFS)

Storage (/dev/sdb) is mounted at /media/myname/Storage


When I reboot my PC, Storage does not auto-mount, even though I have checked the setting to mount at startup. I still have to click it and type in my password for it to mount. I've tried sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/sdb and sudo chmod -R 777 /media/myname/Storage, but nothing has changed.

Perferably, I want it to just stay mounted at all times.

Have LLOS for about 3 months now and have made a few tweaks to personalize my system.  I am using 4.84 64 bit that has kernel 4.15.088.  I see that there are several perhaps newer kernels available.  None of these install when I check for updates.  Should I try installing any of them and is there a change log that lists the differences between them all.

Thanks

Hi Folks, I am not very clever with these things and rely heavily on the good folks who populate these forums!
My only previous experience has been using Linux Mint which I have had on several old machines.

With this lock down and being totally alone, I have dusted off a very old laptop which has Windows XP on it.
For some reason it will not boot into windows, I tried a USB stick with Linux Mint 17 32bit, but it wouldn't "see" the USB at Boot, so I enabled "Legacy Support" in BIOS but still the drive was ignored at Boot, so I finally tried an old disk copy of Linux lite which did boot after a few complaints.
I was really trying to find out just why XP wasn't booting, but I guess that was expecting too much of my tiny brain!

As Clint Eastwood used to say in Dirty Harry, "...a man's gotta know his limitations!"

Having taken the line of least resistance, I am now wanting to install either Linux lite or another Lite distro on this machine but first, I would like to be able to activate the WiFi card. It is a Linksys Wireless G Notebook Adapter Model WPC54G and slide into a PCI card slot in the laptop.
It was working just fine with Windows XP, and I recall using it with Mint a long time ago but now with this install Linux 3.13.0-24-generic(i686) I can't find out how to install the driver.
Can anyone help me please?

Hey,

I've been using linux lite 3.8 for around 4 months now. Before 3 months or so there came an update of linux kernal 4.4.112 to 4.4.178. After the update the mesa driver was updated
from 17.2.4 to 18.0.5.

The issue is that now when i play any video in vlc there is occasional fluttering which is kinda bugging.. It worked perfect with Mesa 17.2.4.

I tried changing the kernal as I thought mesa drivers come with kernals (not very linux savvy ;D) but even after changing kernal the mesa version remained the same and videos still flutters.

I did search on google about updating the mesa driver, but all are telling to add a "ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/updates", but there is no new updates & I'm still in mesa driver 18.0.5

Please help to fix the issue. There is no new updates so can anyone help to downgrade the mesa driver to 17.2.4 (if thats the best solution)  

On Linux Lite 4.8, 8 GB Ram.
Using a Swiss (German/French) generic 105-key QWERTZ keyboard.
Need to reassign brace characters to replace £ + $ characters.
Is that feasible and - if so - how can I do that?
Would appreciate any help.

[size=1em]I am learning about Splunk in my spare time, and a lab called for "Data Onboarding: IPtables Logs."  The goal was to get more data into Splunk by using the following commands to generate syslog data.  The commands are:[/size]

[size=1em]iptables -I INPUT 1 -j LOG[/size]
[size=1em]iptables -I FORWARD 1 -j LOG[/size]
[size=1em]iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -j LOG[/size]

[size=1em]I was following along the lab, and when I finished the lab, I didn't think anything of the changes I made.  I hadn't touched my Splunk environment for several days, and then today I noticed I was getting license warnings because my Splunk setup was going over the daily data limit for my free license.  I assume it has something to do with the above commands.  Does anyone know how to reverse the above commands?  I don't know much about iptables.  My educated guess was to type in the following and restart Splunk.[/size]

[size=1em]iptables -D INPUT 1 [/size]
[size=1em]iptables -D FORWARD 1 [/size]
[size=1em]iptables -D OUTPUT 1 [/size]

[size=1em]I don't know if what I entered above is the proper way to reverse the commands or not.[/size]

Does anybody know of or recommend a service for messaging use that has a good desktop linux program for small business use?

Gotta make sure those 'arythmetically encoded jpg files' are working.
