I am impressed with Linux Lite for its user friendliness and the life it has brought to a very old laptop - thanks.

Update has failed and displays the following error. I would appreciate any help you can give me to solve this thanks.

Hello,

I really need some help.  For whatever reason I struggle with samba every time I have to do anything with it.  This time though I am totally lost.  So I had an old P4 PC with an older version of Linux Lite that was set up as a media server.  After about 40 hours of messing with samba I got it to be visible and accessible by any computer on my network.  All was well until I upgraded to a new computer and installed the new version of Lite.  I can't get the network to work at all.  It can be seen by other computers but not accessed.  I have two hard drives in the computer.  On has the operating system and the other has the files I need to share on the network.  This is my smb.conf file

I'm clueless, any ideas?

I live in Mexico now. After latest install, in File Manager all the times and dates are in Spanish. Also the Calendar at bottom right of Taskbar. I can't find out where to change this back to English.

Hello,
how are fada typed on keyboard in Linux Lite 3.2 ?
Alt Gr is doing Denmark characters.

Previously I've had no problem installing and using miniDLNA on my local network, when I was using an old 32 bit notebook machine, several LL versions ago.
However, I've now tried to make miniDLNA a server on my main 64bit LL 4.2 machine, and I'm having problems.
I installed it from Synaptics, and it appears to be running as a server.

I've also got sqlite3 installed, and after the /etc/minidlna.conf configuration has done the usual
Which has created the database, where I told it to, although the log does list some warning. Which I might need to get back to.
However, my client/controller machine (notepad) cannot see the server, and only sees the renderers.
Finally I realised that this is probably due to the server firewall, which is now by default set to ON.
In order to allow miniDLNA to work, I believe I have to open the TCP port 8200, and the UDP port 1900.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a tutorial on the firewall yet (hint)

So, can anyone help on exactly how to open those port up, and ideally only to the local network.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello to all members,

I'm using Linux Lite OS 3.8 loading .Iso DVD image from hard disk (Live-HD mode).  Because Ubuntu features I updated all my system, with the exception of booting kernel, wich remains at 16.04.4 release.  Loading .Iso image from hard disk boots original Lite 3.8 kernel into readonly file system (/cdrom).

I want to know how I can update vmlinuz and initrd.gz files, doing commands into a separate folder to get these files updated to 16.04.6 kernel release.  I suppossed task is related to update-initramfs command.

Anyone can help me?

Thank you in advance.  ;-)

Linux Lite 4.1

someone idea

Roland

I have been using Linuxlite for a few years now and am currently using 4.0. I installed it last fall and haven't had any issues with it. Until today. This morning I shut down my computer normally, but when I turned it back on this evening, it asked me to login on startup; I had it set to log me in automatically, so I thought this was weird. But then it wouldn't accept my password. I made sure caps and numlock weren't on but it still won't let me in. I haven't done anything unusual lately or noticed any strange behavior until this happened. Can someone tell me what is going on? Have I been hacked? What can I do to get back into my computer?

Following the death of my Asus laptop, I swapped it with someone for a third-hand Lenovo Ideapad G580 model 2689 notebook. It has Win8.1 pre-installed in UEFI mode - I would like to dual-boot it with LL, in Legacy mode.

However I'm unable to access the BIOS or Boot Order to allow me to do this.
The 'novo' button doesn't work, only showing a menu with 4 options - clicking on any of the options and it just boots into the Win8.1 user account. Apparently the software that allows the 'novo' button to access BIOS or Boot Order, is on a partition of the drive that was originally shipped with this laptop - being a 3rd-hand laptop, my guess is that's long gone!

So I tried more conventional methods: F2 and F12 keys, and clicking on PC settings in the charms bar, choosing the Recovery etc option. However none of these work and it just boots into the Win8.1 user account. 

However, from the LL hardware database, I notice that LL has been installed on the Lenovo G580, but maybe these contained original drive to enable operation of the 'novo' button ... I also notice from hadrian's inxi -Fz terminal output, that he installed LL on a Lenovo G580.

Any ideas, send them this way before I throw this laptop in the bin  > > >
