my internet connection works just fine, i was snooping around on my Linux pc and decided to look at my internet "connection information" and where it says security , it says "none", ha ha , i have been using it this way for several months now , everything seems fine. here is a screen shot of what i am talking about, i blacked out some stuff, tho . so is this ok ?, should i be worried ?. please help, lol.  i want to say thanks to every one.

Just installed Lite4.2 on two workstations connected by the same IP subnet.  After installing ssh, applying all updates and selecting 'Allow" in the firewall, ssh login connections succeed normally.  When attempting to copy files between workstations using scp (the same host workstations with the same IP addresses as the successful ssh login) I obtain the following (actual username and IP address modified for security reasons):
scp -pr Documents/Projects 123.123.123.123ocuments
[email protected]'s password:
Welcome to Linux Lite 4.2 username

shell returned 1
The usernames are the same on both workstations.  The intent is to copy everything in sub-directory "Projects" on the sending host to the Documents directory on the receiving host.  Invoking the above with level 2 debugging yields:
scp -prvv Documents/Projects 123.123.123.123ocumentsExecuting: program /usr/bin/ssh host 123.123.123.123, user (unspecified), command scp -v -r -p -t Documents

The authentication succeeds but there is apparently a "read<=0 rfd 4 len 0" that fails resulting in the death of the 'scp' session.  Scp used to work in earlier Lite releases but fails in Lite4.2.  Any suggestions on a work around?  (The Lite4.2 scp client works with older versions of every other ssh server I've tried.)  Has the Lite4.2 ssh server been built incorrectly?
Sorry, just tried 'sftp' between the same two workstations and that producesftp [email protected]'s password: Received message too long 1466264675

shell returned 255
So the Lite4.2 ssh server breaks all file transfer methods in ssh. 

Hi all, I'm new to Linux Lite. I just installed it (latest version) on an old laptop. Everything looks good except when I connect the laptop to the TV via a HDMI, the sound only comes through the laptop and not the TV. It's an old laptop with crappy sound system, so when Netflix you can watch, but can't chill.  :

I've read a couple posts online and did the following already:
1) Read Help Manual and checked the Volume Control and picked the HDMI Digital Stereo output (it was on analog stereo output). I also chose a few options there but either it's no sound or sound only through the laptop
2) I tried alsamixer and clicked around, but nothing happened.
3) I tried pulseaudio -k, same... 

What shall I do? I'm not techie, so I also attached a sysreport to this post. Thanks for your time and help, folks!

hey guys. it blue- i am back and fully linux once again! my work rig is now lite 4.2

Hi.
I made myself an USB stick packed with several distros (to see how they respond on this old Latitude laptop) using yumi tool (sadly only for windows).
Thing is - when it was time to boot LL 4.2, then my first observation is: - take substantially longer time to load (compared to Mint xfce) - No text is shown during boot, just a black screen of nothing (notice something going on because fan start to spin faster) until next step: - Ask for username and password. Above the input field for user name, there is a drop-down list where "Other..." is the only possible choice.
I'm aware this may be a yumi-issue - but anyone having seeing this before and possible know what to enter for user and password here ?
Thanks

i just just installed linux lite on my second and final pc, both of them desktops , this pc connected to wireless wifi with no problems. i really like this linux, 

i have nothing bad to say about windows 10, everything has its use, i just like linux more, it does not take 24 hours to update on a major update like windows 10 does.
so far everything works .

here is some of my system specs on this Asus amd 64bit desktop pc.
i installed a dvd burner , burns and plays just fine so far.
--------------------------

dont know how long this link will work , but its the same desktop pc.
same specs .
it used to have windows , now it is a linux machine.

-----------------

i want to say thank you for all your hard wrok and dedication, hugs to every one  :-* :-* :-*

This is just to update people about what's been going on with my system. I'd been getting increasing instability on my system, and at first I wasn't sure what was causing it. As a diagnostic test, I tried installing another Linux distro, and I got a lot of freezes with that too, and wound up having to do a hard shut-down. This told me it was probably a hardware issue since it happened no matter what idstro was installed. I was wondering what to do about that, since I wasn't ready to get a new hard drive or new computer yet. As an extra diagnostic, I tried installing an old version of Linux Lite (v 3.4), since I had the original CD around which I hadn't touched since I first installed it, and I knew that this system had been rock-solid-steady on LL3.4. So if anything should work, the LL3.4 should.

Well, the instability kept happening, even on LL3.4, which was probably not surprising since it was a hardware issue. The more serious problem was that it seemed to be getting progressively worse. My data files were backed up externally, so I wasn't worried about those.

Eventually, the system wouldn't boot at all!! Aaargh!!

I therefore wound up using the live CD of LL3.4 to figure out what was going on, since I couldn't boot normally anymore. I guessed I probably had bad blocks on the hard disk somewhere. Sure enough, running the badblocks command while in the live media showed me 5 bad blocks, they were near the first 30G of the hard drive (the one that I had installed Linux on, that it was booting from) so the Linux OS probably had some corruption as a result, explaining the freezes.

So, I decided to avoid using the first 30 gigs of the disk altogether. I tried a fresh install of Linux Lite 3.4, but with a different partitioning scheme where I put the LL in a partition toward the end of the hard disk, instead of at the start where the bad blocks were. I figured that the end was also a part of the disk that had been used less, so hopefully it would be safer in general.

Well, the install appeared to work successfully, but when I booted up without the media, I wound up in the grub_rescue prompt. Aaaarghhh again!

I followed an online tutorial for what to do if you wind up in grub_rescue https://www.linux.com/learn/how-rescue-n...ub-2-linux - I did the bits in the subheading "Booting from grub-rescue>" to fix the non-booting, but the start of the article had helpful background info and explanations that I needed first.

Finally, I had a bootable system. I booted and shut down normally a couple of times just for the joy of it, because it had been awhile since I'd been able to do that. ;D

Anyway, this is why I'm running 3.4 and not a higher version - it took so long to configure everything and do all of that, that I'm scared of making any more changes. I realize that this is just a "for now" measure because the hard drive is failing, and eventually in the longer term I need to get a new machine (plus back up my data frequently in the meatime). I'm hoping to hang onto this one as long as I can though.

And, the new name for my machine is phoenix 

Hello,
I have decided using Linux and wanted to give Linux Lite a try, so I downloaded the ISO, flashed it using Etcher and everything was alright until I booted the USB, I choosed Start Linux Lite and waited a few minutes until it booted up, the screen was blurry and weird, I went to settings then Display and found out I had only 3 resokutions to choose from 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768, my monitor's resolution is 1366x768, is there any solution for that ?
My GPU is ATi Radeon HD 4650

We inspired MS lol.
