Hi forum.

I struggle to make use of rsync between two local directories. It always return the error message unless I use the --dry-run parameter.

This is all the commands tried so far, same results for all:

Hi,

Anyone can tell me if this all-in-one (HP AiO 24-e001) computer from HP gonna work with Linux Lite? I search the hardware database but couldn't find anything about it. My old HP Elitebook 8540p is very slow and the fan is on all the time. I get a new hair done every time I sit bay it  ;D

Thanks in advanced

Just to add to my troubles i now have two laptops playing up. This toshiba is not opening any of my memory sticks. I decided to try running a  virus scan as given in the help tutorials here
( https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/tutor...#antivirus ) & have run into more problems. I've had this in the CLI:

Clearly the tutorial is out of date with 404 ip address but why am i getting (1: Operation not permitted) & (13: Permission denied) as well as command not found? Anyone willing to help? Thanks.

update:
just before shutting down i tried my flash m/stick again - it was recognized this time but i got an authentication dialogue box wanting my admin password to mount. I cancelled until i know whats going on.

Hello

I don't have idea if this subforum is the right place to post this question. I work in a Technical School and we have a classroom with 16 PC's with Linux Lite Installed. The students are very "anxious" and modify the appearance of the desktop constantly. They modify panels, icons, backgrounds, shortcuts , etc.

I would like to know if is possible to reset this changes in every login to the original "modified by me"  configuration (our background, shortcuts on desktop, items on panels, etc) . I don't want that they lost her files (even if they are on the desktop). Can someone help me?

I'm looking for a large external hard drive for storage of my videos & TV programmes. It needs to have USB 3.0 connectivity and be around 8 to 10 TB (though can be more) and powered from a laptop (setup[1] in signature below). Do any of you have any personal recommendations?

Given its size, will it need its own independent power supply?  I know Seagate's recent 5TB external hard drive doesn't need one, as it's powered from the laptop through the USB 3.0 connection.

Also, I know many of the very large drives don't come with a single disk, but have more than one disk in a RAID configuration. Do such RAID drives have plug & play capability with LL or is there a bit of work to do to configure LL to use them?  Ideally I want an external USB drive that has just a single large disk - I would imagine with a single disk it's simpler and probably less likely that something will go wrong.

Many thanks in advance for any knowledge that you can share in this area.
Your help and advice is much appreciated as always  8)

PS. the laptop also has thunderbolt connectivity, but i have no idea if this will work readily with LL - any ideas?

Hello,
Just downloaded linux-lite-64bit for my Acer Aspire and I have been using Linux Mint 17.3 just fine. I was looking at the release notes for linux-lite 3.8 and I believe it says that you now provide your own version of my favorite choice of browser. Private browsing is why I use Mozilla Firefox, I have respect for those developers and I believe they have respect for me. Did I understand this correctly: Linux Lite chooses to monitor my searches on my favorite private browser?

I think that I have understood this correctly? A recent Twitter message made reference that LL versions from 2.0 onwards were available to download for new users.

Surely LL2.0 is no longer supported??  Using an old version of LL would put the machine at risk wouldn't it?

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick, yet again

I have had a problem with Teamviewer for a couple of months since the upgrade to version 13.  I have been able to see the remote computer but have had no control over it.  This morning I decided to revert back to Teamviewer 12 and it worked immediately.  I have subsequently upgraded to LinuxLite 3.8 on both devices but Teamviewer has reverted to version 13 and has now stopped working.  I can see the remote desktop but neither mouse nor keyboard controls work.  If I revert back to Teamviewer 12 can I prevent it upgrading to version 13 when I update my system files?  I've looked for a specific solution to my issue but haven't been able to find one.

I am using Linux Lite 3.8

I am performing update , but getting Hash Sum Mismatch Error?? How to resolve this error ??

Please Help

Former MS power user, linux noob, and total LL fan here.  I don't know any languages really, but how can I tell which scripting languages I have available on my system?  Like a list.  I mean this primarily for shell scripts, but also potentially for compilers.  Have been thinking about learning something like python or ruby... I am also aware that I can probably install a package to support an additional language (scripted or compiled) if I want to.
