| Wallpaper Limits?? XFCE desktop manager. |

Hello
I ran into an interesting issue when adding new pictures to the wallpapers folder recently. When I would open the XFCE desktop settings manager to change the backgrounds, it would not load any images, even after waiting a few minutes. If clicked the red X to close the window...I would get the "window is busy. do wish to close anyway" message. I can also close it via Task Manager. When I removed the added pictures from the wallpapers folder "all was well again" My question, is there a limit to the amount of pictures that can be located in the wallpapers folder? Can you "overload" the XFCE desktop settings manager?
Thanks
Mark

Hi, I'm trying to login to test the Linux Lite 3.8 operating system from a USB. I've made a live version using the latest Yumi version. I'd like to test it before installing it on my old Compaq Presario V6000 laptop, with Intel Centrino DUO and 2GB of RAM, but just after selecting the option "Start Linux Lite" it asks for the "username and password" to enter.
I read on the website that it is not needed, but anyway, even without entering anything in the boxes, I can not pass that point. I've also entered "linux" as a username, something I've seen on some website, but it does not work either.
Can you help me please?
Thank you very much,
Andy.

[td]SOLVED  .
It worked using "ubuntu" as user and leaving blank the password.
I also wanted to tell you, just in case it will be usefull for you, that lastest Yumi version makes the live USB right or aparently it works ok. In fact right now I'm testing linux lite by the live USB made by Yumi with no problems (yet).
Many thank for your help it was really helpful.[/td]

Hola, intento iniciar sesión para probar el sistema operativo Linux Lite 3.8 desde un USB. He hecho una versión en live usando la última versión de Yumi. Me gustaría probarla antes de instalarla en mi antiguo portatil Compaq Presario V6000, con Intel Centrino DUO y 2GB de RAM, pero justo despues de seleccionar la opción "Start Linux Lite" me pide el nombre de usuario y la contraseña para ingresar. Leo en la página web que no es necesaria, pero de todos modos incluso sin introducir nada en las casillas, no puedo pasar ese punto. También he ingresado "linux" como nombre de usuario, algo que he vito en alguna web, pero tampoco funciona.
¿Podrían ayudarme por favor?
Muchas gracias,
Andrés.
SOLUCIONADO
Funcionó usando "ubuntu" como usuario y dejando en blanco la contraseña.
También quería decirte, en caso de que sea útil para ti, que la última versión de Yumi hace que el USB en vivo sea correcto o, al parecer, funciona bien. De hecho, en este momento estoy probando linux lite con el USB en vivo hecho por Yumi sin problemas (todavía).
Muchas gracias por tu ayuda fue realmente útil.

Hello, everybody,
until 1 week ago I used Debian Jessie and have now switched to Linux Lite 3.8. so far I like what I see very well and almost everything works too.
Right now, however, I can't get my printer to work at all, which worked out fine with Debian Jessie.
I read the threads for the HP 2540 and also tried to use them, unfortunately without success.
I downloaded the current version of hplip from https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing and tried (!!!!) to install it. Unfortunately, I always get a error message:
Code: RUNNING PRE-INSTALL COMMANDS

Would you like to retry installing the missing package(s) (y=yes*, n=no, q=quit) ?
As soon as I try to install libcupsimage2-dev via Synaptic I get the error message of faulty dependencies.
Any hints? Tricks? Magic Spells?

| Installing Linux Lite 3.8 on eMMC flash memory |

[size=1em]I recently purchased a budget laptop for my personal studies only. It’s an Ollee ML130S 13.3" laptop with Intel Apollo Lake Celeron N3350, 32GB eMMC flash memory and 4GB RAM. It came with Windows 10 Home, which I need for both apps.[/size]
[size=1em]My problem is the 32GB “drive” rapidly got full, so I decided to install a 128GB 2242 M.2 SSD, which it has provision for. I managed to transfer Windows 10 over to this SSD and so far so good, except I don’t have any audio – no solution as yet found. However, that’s not what I’m here for.[/size]
[size=1em]I deleted the partition on the eMMC (now unallocated space) and would like to install LL on the eMMC and use that for browsing, emails etc.[/size]
[size=1em]After reading the little information on the internet about these eMMC devices, it appears they are a handful to try and boot into, probably because they are soldered to the motherboard? I tried a live USB stick [/size][size=1em]as well as the iso file burned on to a DVD[/size][size=1em] to boot LL but [/size][size=1em]in both cases, the devices were not recognised[/size][size=1em]. There are diverse comments about how to change BIOS settings [/size][size=1em]therefore [/size][size=1em]I’m not confident how to proceed. The other issue is the BIOS information is different to what I’m accustomed to [/size][size=1em]e.g under Chipset, four subheadings are mentioned I.e “[/size][size=1em]North Bridge”, “South Bridge”, “Uncore Configuration” and “South Cluster Configuration”[/size][size=1em]. [/size]
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]The Recovery and EFI System partitions for Windows 10 are still on the eMMC drive (Disk 1) and Windows 10 is installed on the SSD (Disk 0). These partitions can not be moved or deleted from the eMMC drive and I want to install LL on the Unallocated partition of the eMMC drive. I tried attaching a JPG file of Disk Management in Windows 10 but it appears that's not possible. Appreciate any help.[/color]

| Formatting a USB that has a virus on it |

I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this. A friend has a USB that picked up a virus, he is using a PC running windows (not sure what version). While I have a Mac computer I am reluctant to reformat it on my personal Mac just in case...
I still have one of the donated computers running LL 3.8 and wondered if I can reformat the virus infected USB on it without causing a problem on this computer. This computer is only running LL 3.8 and NOT dual with a Windows OS.
IF I can safely do this on the computer running LL does anyone have any good clear instructions on how to do so?
Thanks,

| New Windows Appear on Panel Out of Order |

I've used LL 3.2 in the past (on this same computer and for about a year) and after a short excursion trying some other distros, I decided to return to LL. I installed the 3.2 iso (64-bit) that I already had and upgraded from there to 3.8, installing all updates available as I went. I've almost got the system set up the way I want, but I notice that the items in the panel don't appear from left to right as I open them. For example, in this session, I've opened (1) Thunderbird, then (2) Thunar, which shows up to the left of TB, (3) Firefox, which shows up to the left of Thunar. You'd think this was just the reverse of what it should be, but when I went to my Documents folder and opened an odt file, it showed up between Firefox and Thunar. The order is Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunar, Thunderbird, but it should be: Thunderbird, Thunar, Firefox, LibreOffice. I've looked in the Panel Preferences, but can't see anything unusual there. Have I missed an important setting somewhere that's causing this?

I've searched the web with regards to this and have found different information on how to install Clamtk, and have tried to install it a few times and continue to get errors.
Is there a thread here on how to do it, or can someone tell me the best way to do it?

I very recently bought a new desktop computer which came with a 500GB SSD drive and a mate of mine installed Ubuntu GNOME 17.10 on it (which i'm not very happy with). But only a couple of days ago i decided to run a "live" cd, Ubuntu MATE. My new desktop has an external CD/DVD drive and i selected this drive in order to run the "live" cd. After i had run the live cd i wanted to change the boot order in the bios back to what it was originally but there are two entries for the ssd drive and i just wonder if i have choosen the wrong one? The entries are:
a) ubuntu (PO: CT500MX500SSD1)
b) PO: CT500MX500SSD1
Would it make a difference if i choose either one?
Also, my mate installed the OS on the SSD drive.
But i would like to know if would it be possible to install an internal 1TB SATA hard drive
So that i could keep the SSD drive just for the OS + updates and everything else would
go on the internal sata hard drive. Hope i'm making sense here lol.
Thanks all
