I hope I'm posting to the right part of the forum.
I'm running LL3.8 on a netbook. All updates have been applied.
I had shortcuts in Thunar to 2 remote shares and that has worked well for a year or two. These shares are on a USB HDD connected to a Raspberry Pi that was running OpenElec.
I just changed the RPi OS to LibreElec and can no longer connect using LL. It works fine on my Win10 laptop. The device appears in Browse Network but I can't get any further. When I try to browse it times out.
I suspect that there is something left over from the prior access to the old RPi OS but I don't know what.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Suggestions for refined organising the list by topic ?
Request any additional computer words, i'll try ?
Hope it helps with learning computer related words in Irish.

I'm well aware of the advantages of 64bit, but I still use some 32bit hardware (sometimes) and don't generally bother with 64bit anything.
I do a lot of distro customisation, and going 64bit would double the work across everything. 64bit ARM is a different matter. The next architecture I bother with will more likely be ARM than 64bit x86.
That may mean that Linux Lite is not an option for long, or I may develop a schema/spec for it and make "Linux Lite Retro" or something of that nature, with updated binaries (not a guarantee, just a remote possibility.) Either way I have a fair amount of computing experience, which I'm willing to share here (as well as learn more about Linux Lite.)
Hi,
I've been duckduckgoing and have found no results on how to disable a service that slows down boot up time on my laptop with linux-lite and apparently I don't need it as I'm not using virtualbox. The console shows after:
Started LSB disk temperature monitoring
A start job is running for vbox.add service 5m 20s
and it takes about 3 or 4 minutes for this to run its course.
I did a removal (not complete removal) of any software I could find related to virtualbox in Synaptic, such as virtualbox-guest-utils, virtualbox-guest-x11, and virtualbox-guest-dkms but that didn't help.
I then went to Session and Startup and unticked vboxclient under application startup but that didn't help. I then edited /etc/xdg/autostart/vboxclient.desktop and changed the following line to false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=falseApparently it isn't a service that I see under
service --status-all
Hi folks. I've decided to reinstall LL because of a mistake I made in my first install.I decided to calculate the amount of disk space that Lite could use because I wanted to keep a dual boot with Windows and I wasn't sure how much space Lite needed to install. .
I can't remember if Lite gave me the option to automatically choose the HDD space it needs to install or not but... Anyway, the darned computer won't boot to Lite unless I have the DVD in the drive and make sure the computer boots to it. The most annoying thing is that Lite is running from the DVD instead of the HDD! Talk about a snooze fest 
So now I want to reinstall Lite and give it all the space it needs, since I know I have plenty of HDD space for it, but I can't find an option to reinstall. How do I go about this??
Thanks for your help, Wally
I'm a retired IBM Systems Engineer with over 50 years of IT experience but unfortunately none in Linux. However in a triumph of ignorance and superstition over science and technology Linux Lite (LL) was successfully installed running under Virtual Box (VB) 5.2.26 on my PC running Win 10. The screen desktop appears OK but when SOME menu items (software updates) are selected NOTHING HAPPENS - nada, no launch, no err msg !! Rotten thing to do to a nice man like me. What am i doing wrong ?? How is this fixed and why is there no err msg ? (luckily one of the games will run so that i can stay busy while waiting for your response).
The version of LL is (i think) 2.6/3.x/4.x (64-bit)

Could I ask all Members if they are using an Adblocker to consider white listing the Forum to allow adverts.
This would assist Jerry and the Team with funding Linux Lite.

Hi all i have just joined the forum.
How can I make Lite my stand alone system? I want to dump Windows 7 and run Lite only. Also, I don't want to boot from the install disk which seems to be mandatory for Lite, at least I don't get a boot option upon startup. The only way I can boot to Lite is if I change my BIOS boot options to boot from my start up disk but then I don't get the option to boot to Windows
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
