Virtual Box is popular for it allows to run various operating systems and related software in a manner isolated from the base system and hardware, supporting the simulation in process. Nonetheless, I have some other concerns regarding the security in Virtual Box. These concerns address the Internet and web browsers. Namely, the simulated system run within Virtual Box is usually far less tight and maintained, compared to the native in use. When accessing the Internet through simulated environment, one may accidentally reveal personal data or account logins and passwords, while for certain being more prone to various kinds of attacks altogether. Even though, in case of emergency, the Virtual Box may be safely shut down any moment given, without making trouble to the physical machine in operationg, the information leaked through the Internet access, remains leaked.

I installed a dual boot system with Windows 7 on one HD and Linux Lite on another.  Grub allowed me to choose which OS I wanted at bootup.  Since then I installed a Hard Drive switch so I can turn off the drives I am not currently using. 

And now I can't boot up to windows if I have the Linux drive off because the boot order points to Grub first (I assume).

How can I deal with this?  (Sorry - newb)

Thanks

Сегодня понадобилась команда ll, ввожу в терминал а он мне ответ:

 

На самом деле команда ll - это та же программа ls, только настроенная и добавленная в файл ~/.bashrc

ВНИМАНИЕ: для копирования из терминала используйте Ctrl + Shift + C, для вставки Ctrl + Shift + V

Что бы добавить команду LL в систему -  вводим в терминал команду и жмем Enter:

 

 

 

Hoping someone can guide me here.  I have decided to try and see if I can successfully load an ISO made from a systemback point from one laptop to other old laptops so as to save me time in terms of reloading various additional stuff over and above LL3.8.

I have successfully made my ISO image (although I did not manage to do it via the route Trinidad suggested in a different thread - right clicking on the ISO image and burning to USB so did it via UNetbootin).

I have googled various videos and am unsure exactly which choice I click on when the ISO USB loads.  I tried live system, however it does not give me the icon to "install Linux Lite" like my usual LL3.8 USB does once the live system comes up.

When I go into the next choice "Boot from Installer" I then get a window saying system install and have to put in user name, PW, plus a root password which I left blank (should I?), etc.

It then takes me to Partition settings which I am very unsure what to do here.

I am in the process of googling more videos, but might anyone have a link to which I can refer that makes this all easy for a newbie like me?  Or if not, then some clear instructions?

Thanks in advance 

Привет всем пользователям Linux Lite!

Сегодня возникла проблема с ноутбуком, воткнул флешку с LiveCD, запустил и ушел. Спустя пару часов возвращаюсь  а ноутбук уже заблокировался. Долго я искал ответ, нашел и решил поделиться, вдруг кому пригодится:
Логин: Linux (указан в левом верхнем углу экрана блокировки)
Пароль: оставить пустым!

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

I didn't lost anything just making fun list of ways to lose data and get rid of un necessary files (and any files of cource).
You can use this list to protect your data when you don't do these mistakes.
1. Simply press delete without knowing what are you are doing. "I just deleted ..."
2. Running destructive commands in terminal DO NOT try

Hi all,
Just to check around and inform people also.I had some wireless problems on Linux Lite 3.8 on one of my PCs for some time.Nothing I couln't manage of work around since the main problem was when streaming videos over the local network.The playback, distorted every few seconds (big gray compression blocks) and cut sometimes. For network streaming, default Mediaplayer was worse, VLC better and Parole Media Player was best "speed wise" but had weird 1-2 colors borders around video, so, uninstalled.
When the files were copied and played locally, everything was fine.

The PC is has an i5 CPU/GPU and the culprit is Wireless PCIe card called the Ralink RT3090
Installing the Windows 7 x64 drivers with ndiswrapper made the "cutting" stopped and distortion happened less frequently but was still a pain.
Note : I originally used the ndis-gtk GUI but finally had to do driver install in terminal otherwise PC could not connect to WiFi network, i.e. tried and timed out after 20/30 seconds.

But then... I decided to install 4.4, for other reasons.
With the default installation, to my surprise, the network playback never cut and distortion happens very rarely now, to the point of saying it could be my network lagging.

In the final scenario, I ended up using VLC because Default MediaPlayer had some 3-4 seconds delay when start a video in network playback.

So 4.4 it is. It could just be because of the different Kernel version but... has anyone else had a better wireless experience in 4.x?

I'm using LL 2.4 on this old computer and I've just spent a couple of hours typing some word documents in Libre Office, saving each doc to a folder I created on my desktop. I continued typing on a fresh page and suddenly all the text of my previous pages disappeared. I did not delete anything and did not consciously hit any "weird" keys. I seem to have lost one saved doc and all but one line of the doc I'm currently working on.

I don't have a trash icon on my desktop and can't even find the folder to check it. Does anyone have an idea what I might have done wrong?

Thanks
