I installed the Mate' desktop environment on LL 4.2, but when I reboot I can't find where to select it to load instead of Xfce. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
For a couple of days my windows7 and windows10 drives have been going read-only and I have to reboot and check their filesystems.
They are auto-mounted via fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=a2fbbae1-060e-4751-bec4-653e2c031c9f / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=CC36728936727474 /mnt/windows10 ntfs defaults 0 0
UUID=6460FFA960FF7FDA /mnt/windows7 ntfs defaults 0 0
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0What could be causing this issue? It just started yesterday and happened today a couple of times after I restarted LL. Are they not being unmounted properly?

Hello everyone
As title says, I just can't still Linux Lite OS on my Acer Aspire ES 17, which has Celeron N3350 CPU. I tried the options on the BIOS, but the Secure Boot can't be disable and it has UEFI mode.
It always get stuck on "installing grub2 package".
I wonder, If I just remove the hard drive, connect it on a PC and install Linux Lite on that same hard drive and then connect it on my laptop back again, will it work ?
Will I need to install drivers ?
Thanks in advance
I have Linux Lite 4.2 and grub installed on ssd with the grub menu showing at boot.
My old windows 10 drive is still attached and mounted so I can browse files.
I can boot the old win10 drive through the bios boot menu, but would like to add the option into the grub menu.
Can anyone suggest a way to add an entry to chainload the windows10 drive through the grub menu?
Hello,
I have set up Linux Lite and have been using it for about a week.
I now want to set up ftp access to the computer.
I installed vsftpd and edited /etc/vsftpd.conf and can login through localhost.
But when I tried to ftp in from another machine in the house, it couldn't connect.
After some research I used ufw to allow ftp with:
sudo ufw allow ftpFrom the other computer I can ping the router 192.168.0.1 and www.google.com so I know it's working but can't get a ping response from the Linux Lite machine.
So I disabled the firewall with
sudo ufw disableWhat can I do to get my other machine to ftp and ping the Linux Lite machine? Thanks for any help you can offer. I'm tearing my hair out with this one (the little I have left lol)
I upgraded a laptop from LL 3.8 to LL 4.2 via a clean install of LL 4.2 two days ago. I think I've counted about three .deb files I needed to install post LL 4.2 upgrade. When I click on the .deb file, gdebi opens, and I click on Install. The window disappears, and nothing happens. I resort to installing the software using the command line with the "sudo dpkg -i" approach. That does work.
I have used the reinstallation option in Install/Remove Software on the gdebi package to no avail. Any suggestions?
I've been trying to install hplip for quite a while so I can use my LaserJet m1132 printer, but I've been unsuccesful. At first it failed to install the proprietary plugin from the HP servers, with this message displayed: "Plugin download failed with error code = 4". I uninstalled it and installed it again several times including cups to no avail, then I tried to install the plugin manually from the openprinting archive but it displayed this message: "error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed error: Plug-in install failed." What am I supposed to do to fix this issue? When I try to print it says that it can't communicate with the printer. I'm new to the linuxlite community and I still don't have much experience, when I was using lubuntu the printer worked fine after a little bit of work installing everything so I know it's possible to make it work on linux.
Thank you for your help.
