I have used Unetbootin to make a Linux Lite USB
and designated 4GB for persistence.
However, when I make changes after booting
the live USB, it doesn't save the changes even
though I check the box on exit to do so.

Should I be using another live USB maker or
am I skipping some step ?

at first i was looking for something on handbrake, but found this on a old post instead, it looks interesting . its called "QWinFF" .
has any one else used this ?. can it make a large file smaller ?.

here is the link to it , looks nice, but is it cool ?.

Hi, i'm new to Linux Lite. I've chosen to use it to build PCs for charity. It's not a high volume affair, perhaps 20 PCs/laptops a year. My clients are not remotely tech savvy, so a 'noob friendlier' distro like this one is welcome.

My first suggestion pertains to the Welcome screen:

Whether you click on Install Drivers, or Updates, or one of the other two, it opens in the same place on the resulting pop-up dialogue box. Ideally it should scroll to the position to invoke the action (or have separate pop-up boxes).

Cheers

Hello; I just started using Linux Lite.
I like the application Dukto, but it doesn't seem
to be in the repositories.

Would it be safe to download the .deb file from
Dukto's website and install it via gdebi ?

If so, Dukto's website asks to choose a package for either
Debian 8.0 or Ubuntu 16.04, but it seems to be the
same file name under both headings, which is (dukto_6.0-1_amd64.deb)

If it's safe to download the .deb file and install it,
which one should I choose, the one for Debian 8.0 or
the one for Ubuntu 16.04, or does it make any difference
since the filename is the same ?

And if it's taking a risk to install the .deb file,
is there any other way to install Dukto in Linux Lite ?

Hi everyone,
I'm not new here but I've been away for a long while.  I have remained very fond of Linux Lite even while "moving on" to pure Debian and MX-18.  But lately I'm helping some newbies and if I'm not doing the OS install myself, I send Linux newbies here. I wrote about it here in my blog.

The only trouble I had was an old mistake I repeated: Downloading updates during installation.  It always made Ubiquity lock up.  But a second attempt installed effortlessly.  The other issue was reeeeeally long boot time, but a quick search of the forum led right to the answer: Purge Virtualbox stuff.  Problem solved.
For right now Linux Lite is my only OS since my desktop suddenly had some kinda hardware malfunction and won't even power up.  It's going to the shop tomorrow to find out why.  When I get it back I'll dual-boot Linux Lite with my MX-18, which I'm very fond of and delighted with.  I don't think it's quite as "newbie friendly" as LL, but it has a wonderful set of cool tools.
I'm happy to be back and hope to contribute.

I am trying to OCR a document using OCRFeeder, but when I press the OCR button I get an error and it won't function

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openjdk-11-jdk : Depends: openjdk-11-jdk-headless (= 10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.4) but 10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.2 is installed
openjdk-11-jdk-headless : Depends: openjdk-11-jre-headless (= 10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.2) but 10.0.2+13-1ubuntu0.18.04.4 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Hard to tell whether the request is feasible for LinuxLite only to implement, as it addresses the machine boot menu, but my wish is to have the option to boot the system in the commandline mode only.

Just a while back I have borked my system, applying in XORG an intel driver exclusive command to the amdgpu environment - hybrid set, a laptop - making it fail to boot at all. Just an underscore blinking indefinitely on a black screen, when the login startup should have already been there. I have escaped through booting from a flashdrive and changing the XORG instructions from there - glad for this wayward access - but in case I was missing a LiteLive pendrive at hand, it would take me quite a bit of time more to get out of this.

The way I understand the problem, the commandline only boot could bypass the need for graphical environment to load, allowing me to change XORG definitions through bash only. That would be good to have.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having  a nice life!

A new fish's shell version has been released; 3.0. Here's the link to the whole story about it https://itsfoss.com/fish-shell-release/

My Ruby icons are not showing up in file manager. They show up in the mime type editor, but not in Thunar on the desktop like they should. Json doesn't show up right either. The icons are in the set and show in the mime type editor but not on the desktop. What did I miss?
