Linux lite is amazing to run pn old pc, even on single core processor but booting takes too much. When I start pcI can only see poading screen for few minutes (~5min) then desktop and all is normally working. Minimum requirements is 128MB of RAM, I have 2GB. I have HDD of 7200RPM. I don't see problem with any hardware...

Just wondering, what would be the cost of a monthly advertisement for LinuxLite on Youtube, speaking of the sidebanner, nonanimated?

The idea, is just: "Linux Lite operating system - simple, fast, free".

We do not have to stress out further that it is Linux, I think.

I wonder can anyone help with this.

On a dual Win7 and LL 4.6 I suspect some malware has infected the LL partition, though the Win7 seems fine.

I wish to keep the Win7 and re-install LL 4 - my question is will the new install completely wipe the partition, including any suspected malware?

I don't know what the malware is, ClamTK didn't see anything amiss.

Any ideas appreciated.

Hello everyone, I've been using Linuxlite on and off for years. I guess you might say I have been waiting for a satisfactory virus program and or VPN to come along so I could go full time. After reading all the info here on this site it appears my apprehensions are not that well founded. Anyhow, I am glade to be a member now and look forward to contributing . My challenge today is I loaded ver. 4.6, 64bit on a intel 64bit laptop and all went well except when I loaded Thunderbird, It told me it could NOT get verification from Comcast and to check my user name and or pass word -
tried a number of times and each time the same response. I checked my mail on Comcast server and all is well, even changed my pass word. After trying a number of approaches including "netcat" which came back as "0" and Linuxlite 4.0. I installed an earlier verson of linuxlite ver. 2.2, 64bit and my Thunderbird E-mail is working fine. What I do not know is were the problem is, is it the later verson (4.6) of Linuxlite or is it Thunderbird or a combo of both? Looking forward to your insight into this and  once again I thank you all for allowing me to be a participating member. 

How do you turn off the generic naming. Like the XFCE terminal is called lite terminal and I want it to be called xfce terminal. I looked in the settings and I couldn't find and option.

On another forum, a comment was made that the following problem might
be related to the linux distro I'm using, which is Linux Lite 4.6 on both computers.

Below is what I get on my Core I3-4170 desktop when I do a 'sensors' command in the terminal:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +27.8°C (crit = +105.0°C)
temp2: +29.8°C (crit = +105.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000

Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +29.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +27.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +25.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)

In comparing that with a new build that I just did using a Pentium Gold G5400,
all the temps look about the same on the new build with the following exception:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +16.8C (crit = +18.8C)
temp2: +27.8C (crit = +119.0C)

Adapter: ISA adapter
Package id 0: +27.0C (high = +78.0C, crit = +100.0C)
Core 0: + 27.0C (high = +78.0C, crit = +100.0C)
Core 1: + 26.0C (high = +78.0C, crit = +100.0C)

As you can see, the temp1 on the acpitz-virtual device shows
only +16.8C, and even more odd, the crit temp is shown as +18.8C
which is just 2C above the actual temperature

Why would the temp1 temperature be only +16.8C ?
And even stranger, why would the critial temperature
be shown as only +18.8C ?

Could it be a flaw in that particular temperature sensor
on the motherboard ? (Motherboard = Gigabyte B360M D3H)

Edit: And I just now also noticed that when I do a 'watch sensors' command
on the new build, all the temperatures fluctuate one degree + or - every so often
except the temp1 and temp2 on acpitz-virtual-0. Those 2 temperatures
do not change at all, not even as much as 0.1 degrees.

if this was placed in the wrong spot, let me know, i was just sharing a how too fun thing...........

every once in awhile i just want to use a emoji, a fun little emoticon, but i dont want to go to a site always to use one, unbuntu(in some flavors) has this thing called a emoji picker/selector  that is installed or you can install it.

well in Linux lite 4 series , installing one of them would be a pain in the ass, that was until i found this piece of software listed in this one article, its actually listed in the Linux lite 4.6 "synaptic package manager" (install/remove software) .

so i did a video on it , here is the youtube link to my video

"For Linux : Emoji Picker : this one is called " Gnome Character Map "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIE2wI0fU0s

if you think there is something better and easy to install than this little piece of software, please tell me .

i want to say thank you to all who watches this

Need help>
