Hello everyone,


Is there any way to have window tiling (split screen) like ubuntu?

[size=1em]This is not a permanent solution see last step below.[/size]

[size=1em]My test environment[/size]
[size=1em]Host: Win10 (sorry, I'm at work)[/size]
[size=1em]VM: LL4[/size]
[size=1em]Software on host/Win10: Virtualbox 5.2[/size]
[size=1em]Software/guest additions on VM: pre-installed/stock version[/size]


[size=1em]Let's begin[/size]

[size=1em]Add a shared folder in the LL4 virtual machine[/size]

[size=1em]Start the virtual machine[/size]

[size=1em]On a working system these two services should be running[/size]
[size=1em](systemctl | grep vbox)[/size]
[size=1em]--------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]vboxadd-service.service[/size]
[size=1em]vboxadd.service[/size]

[size=1em]On LL4 only one is running[/size]
[size=1em]-----------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]vboxadd.service[/size]

[size=1em]We need to start the additional service[/size]
[size=1em]-------------------------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl start vboxadd-service.service[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl enable vboxadd-service.service[/size]

[size=1em]If user is already a member of vboxsf group sharing should now be working:[/size]
[size=1em]> For me the share is listed in Thunar as sf_Downloads (/media/sf_Downloads/)[/size]
[size=1em]> An icon was not placed on the desktop[/size]


[size=1em]If user is NOT a member of vboxsf group they can be added to the group as follows:[/size]
[size=1em](Note, you generally only need to do this step one time)[/size]
[size=1em]We need to add user to the vboxsf group (cli)[/size]
[size=1em]sudo adduser scott vboxsf[/size]
[size=1em]OR[/size]
[size=1em]We need to add user to vboxsf group (graphical)[/size]
[size=1em]start > All > Linux Lite User Manager[/size]

[size=1em]Last step[/size]
[size=1em]Logout out and Log back in.[/size]



[size=1em]Note this will even work for the LL4 Live CD environment[/size]
[size=1em]Run terminal cmd[/size]
[size=1em]whoami[/size]

[size=1em]The answer on my system is - linux[/size]

[size=1em]Now just go through the steps above with user linux[/size]

[size=1em]When logging in/out the user is linux and the password is left empty (i.e. there is no password.)[/size]



[size=1em]Not a permanent solution:[/size]
[size=1em]For some reason this service is not starting automatically and these commands need to be run again after a reboot.[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl start vboxadd-service.service[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl enable vboxadd-service.service[/size]

Hi, I've been downloading different Linux distros for some time but had problems with all until Linux Lite!!! My old computer just couldn't handle any other distro. but I just installed Linux Lite 4.0 today with no problems. 

Of course I have a ton of questions as I haven't had a chance to play yet and don't speak 'Linux' at all, but I promise to search for answers before posting any dumb questions!

This is really exciting as I've wanted to switch to Linux for a very long time.  I'm well past retirement but have liked computers since I first discovered them.  Now that I'm retired, I have a little more time to learn more and hope this forum is a good place to do that.

I paid special attention to matching the blue on the panel to Windows Basic Theme, so it feels familiar to my wife. I borrowed the picture from another Linux.

Edit: In case anyone's interested, here are the color settings to match Windows Basic Theme (Panel):


HUE    221
SAT    26
VALUE  82

RED    154
GREEN 171
BLUE    209

I'm considering installing csh or tcsh on my LL 4.0 system - not as my main shell, but to use on the rare occasions when I do shell scripting. I notice those additional shells are available in the Synaptic package manager. That said,

a) would installing csh (or tcsh) be likely to screw up anything that is pre-existing on my system?
b) would you recommend installing csh/tcsh? (a totally different question, I know).

I'd love to get some guidance from the LL community on either or both of these questions. Please answer as little or as much as you are willing to - any information is helpful here.

Optional background - only read if you want to know this: The reason I am even considering a csh-based system for scripting is that I used it years ago on Unix. It "made sense" to me in a way that bash (still) doesn't, but possibly that's just because csh / tcsh was the first shell I ever used. I guess I wanted to see if going back to one of those shells would make me feel more "at home" when I do any scripting.

Have just installed Linux Lite 4.0 and it installed perfectly. An amazing OS and fantastic work by all the developers yet again. Surely this OS is a must for all disgruntled Windows users. Ease of use and total reliability all in one OS. What more can anyone want for free?

As the title of this thread asks, can I copy over the folder for the Faenza icon-set from LL3.8 to LL4.0?


Where in LL3.8's file system do I find this icon set? 
Also the arc theme - where is that stored in the file system?


Though the default icon set in LL4.0 looks cool, I really miss Faenza.
Is there any risk associated with continuing to use Faenza?


I'd appreciate any help or comments with this - thanks.

Instead of posting what you might expect to be a positive review, I thought I'd add this video here. Unfortunately the reviewer is clueless as to our approach, and who this OS is for.

- 'Why we need links to Thunar at 3 different points, I have no idea' Correct sir, you have no idea. 'Why have a Trash icon' this one nearly made me spit out my coffee at the time. XFCE by default, provides the option for a Trash icon.

- 'Settings is referred to as Control panel, that's a little odd' not if your target audience are Windows users, just another example of a reviewer doing little to no research on the topic, before addressing the topic.

That's just the first 3 minutes, the train wreck of misinformation and presumption without fact continues on for just under 30 mins. For a channel that has taken 6 years to attract a meager 1k subscribers, is safe to say he's not lighting up the 'Nix' world with fantastic content.

One of the comments by the reviewer - 'It looks as if the Lite devs are trying to compete with MX...' We don't compete with other distributions, we target Windows users.

I for one, welcome alternative reviews, so long as those reviews are done with an understanding of the OS's approach to layout and options.

At this point I'd usually say, 'Enjoy the video' but, yeh, well.

Moderate Linux user...using Linux Lite 4.0 on a old busted screen laptop with octoprint to run my 3D printer...was using Xubuntu...but something I did futzed it up...rebuilt it using 64 LL4.0 and kapow...running great so far (trying first print right at this minute)

Hi Folks -- I went through a lot of wallpaper design ideas for the release of LL 4.0. Some of my favorites didn't make the cut. So I thought I'd share some here.
