| LL 4.0 PCs are not joining Windows Workgroup |

I have started upgrading my machines to Linux Lite v4.0. My first was an ageing Core2Duo laptop and when I first installed I found I could access my 3.8 PCs and the USB drive attached to the router in the usual way. Today that seems to have stopped, though I can access networked devices using the IP address.Today I upgraded my desktop machine and this is when I noticed the problems. Some of them were of my own making - not following the manual properly I'm afraid - but I now have it that my shares open properly with the correct credentials. But the strange thing is that I cannot access anything through the Windows Network route: "Failed to retrieve share list from server: No such file or directory" comes up when I 'Browse Network' in the File Manager, though the shares in both LL 4.0 machines appear and can be reached. My Core2Duo laptop now exhibits the same behaviour.
I also have a more modern Acer Aspire laptop which is still on 3.8. When I run the Network command in File Manager it shows all 3 computers and the Router USB shares as well as Windows Network, but the Windows Network consists only of itself and the router. A separate Linkstation NAS does not appear on any lists but like all other devices it can be opened via its IP address.
I can't help feeling that with the NAS also involved this points to a problem elsewhere than with LL 4.0 but it only started when I installed Linux Lite 4.0 on my main machine today.
I struggle to follow the mechanics of Samba shares at the best of times so any pointers to a remedy will be gratefully received.

| Increasing RAM for Linux Lite guest in Virtualbox leads to desktop login prompt |

Using Linux Lite in a Virtualbox VM. Increased the RAM for the VM. After this booting the VM ends in a login prompt (to the desktop environment?) with user pre-filled as "linuxlite".
It looks as if something was reset when Linux Lite discovered the RAM increase - rolling the RAM increase back does not get rid of the login prompt. I assume this login was previously done behind the scenes with some stored password.
As it does not seem possible to skip this login, and the only visible desktop component is the wallpaper, the VM is stuck.
Is there a fix for this? Or is it a bug?
Details:
Linux Lite 4.0 64 bit downloaded from Linux Lite site.
Running on VirtualBox 5.2.16 r123759 (Qt5.6.2) on Windows 10.
Installed in VM according to this guide.
PS: Correct subforum? Lemme know if not and I'll try and move it

Installed to Linux Lite today my all time favorite game, Jagged Alliance 2
Since I installed it just today, it is hard to know about the bugs, but so far everything seems
to work just great - except that I haven't figured out yet how to play in fullscreen mode instead of a window.
Installing it is easy: Since the Copyright holders released the source code for public domain years ago, people
have been able to port the whole game to work on Linux, without emulators or virtual machines.
The Debian package may be downloaded from here: https://github.com/ja2-stracciatella/ja2..._amd64.deb
However, you will still need the data files from the original Jagged Alliance CD to be able to play it.

| Linux Lite Laptop with RAID (part 1) |

So... Many old laptops have a CD/DVD which nobody uses any more. Optical media is becoming old...
But since the laptop may still have an optical drive, why not replace it with a secondary hard-drive?
This gives you many possibilities. You may partition it and use it for documents, music, movies and so on.
One possibility is to add redundancy to your system by creating a RAID1 volume. This means that
in case one of the hard-drives fails / breaks, you will not lose the data in that volume, since RAID1 mirrors
all the data to both disks.
So, how to do it?
First of all, you cannot do it if your first (primary) hard-drive is full, meaning that you cannot add a new partition in it.
(You can add a new partition if you have for example a separate /home partition - then you may copy all of it's contents
into some temporary location, say /tmp/home, then unmount it and use gdisk to use it as RAID mirror, see below ).
BUT: The best way to achieve this, is while doing a fresh LL installation, use 'Do something else' partitioning option and
leave some space unallocated (free, not partitioned space), eg. 16G for example.
First you need one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-2-5...8016235485
You may buy one in a local store or anywhere you want, I bought mine from China since they are very cheap.
Then you also need the secondary HD, which is a standard 2.5" SATA HD. The capacity does not need to be the same
as in your primary HD.
Once you have both, the caddy and the hd, you may then remove the CD/DVD and replace it with the secondary HD.
It's not hard to do. If you have ever played with LEGO bricks, you should be able to do this in a couple of minutes.
Once you have the new HD installed, boot your Linux and choose which files are the most important to you.
For me, they were all the files in my Documents folder, so I chose to create a RAID1 for them.
Let's assume you want to have RAID1 redundancy with your Documents folder too. Then you would first create a
new partition to your new hard-drive:
Start console (if it's not yet open) and command
First prepare your new hard-drive:
Type 'p' to see the capacity of the disk and verify that it is the new disk
Code: Command (? for help): p
You will see the Model of the device and it's capacity. If they are correct, you may proceed, otherwise press 'q'.
Then create a new partition which is equal in size as your unused space in the primary disk or less than that.
Code: Command (? for help): n
Code: Partition number (default 1): 1
When it asks the 'Last Sector', type the amount of Mega or Gigabytes, that you have unused in the primary disk:
Example, if you have 16G or more:
When it asks the Hex code, type 'fd00' and press 'ENTER'
Then press 'w', ignore warnings the new disk is ready for RAID.
Just inform kernel about it, by commanding:
To be continued in part 2...

Hi all, does anyone know of a good program for Genealogie that works with LL 4.0? I have Gramps installed but would want to try out some others (if there are any).

| Making ISO of working sysytem, LL3.8 with PinguyBuilder |

@ringnsma mentioned PinguyBuilder in connection with LL4.0, which prompted me to try it with LL3.8
I downloaded version 4 deb package (for ubuntu 16 systems) and it installed perfectly. To me it is more intuitive than systemback and seems to generate an ISO much quicker. A live memory stick made from a PinguyBuilder generated ISO, booted correctly and included all the extra software (lots!) which I installed on the basic LL3.8 system. If continued testing proves reliable, I shall remove no longer supported Systemback and retain PinguyBuilder as my sytem backup application. All but one of my PCs are 32bit so I can't upgrade to LL4.0 and I prefer to keep them all on the same software version.

What's up guys, this is my first forum topic, so sorry if i posting in the wrong place of forum.
I have a not very good notebook, which I would like to use again, but this time with linux. After some testing with other distributions (which did not recognize the video driver or the network driver), I did some research and opted for Linux Lite. After the installation, I have some problems, which are:
-The icons that were on the desktop when I installed it, are gone (Not a big problem, but it might be useful for you).
-The computer is too slow. When i use firefox, 96% of my CPU gone, open any window is slow, and when i installed firefox in my language, the firefox icon dont appeared.
-The computer don't reboot (a bugged pixels screen appears) and takes a lot of time to Boot Up.
Well guys, if any of you can help me, i will be VERY GREATFUL. Sorry for my bad english. I'm brazilian.
My notebook specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 T5500 1.66Ghz
RAM: 2GB
Last version of Linux Lite.
Not video card.
