Hi,
Sometimes the login thru the lightdm fails. That means I log but the screen freezes and nothing happens, no login no desktop ( using the xfce4).
When I go to the terminal ( using  CTRL+ALT+F1 ), and I log using shell,  I can start the : startx -- :1,  and access to the graphical Desktop..
Where is the problem?  in lightdm or xfce4 ??
I install lxde  and want to log with lxde,  unfortunatly, there is no menu  in the lighdm login,  to choose the manager.
regards

Hi all,


I've spent few weeks working on giving back to the Lite community an application that has been asked for over and over again; Lite Control Center. So that you can once again enjoy from the Lite Control Center if you’re within those who missed it for so long.

Installing Lite Control Center from UnlockForUs Repository


It is also possible to install Lite Control Center without using the UnlockMe app. Just copy and paste the following commands in a Terminal:

Heya!


Was home today so I played around with the graphics software Krita.
After today, I can confirm that Krita is infinitely more awesome than Gimp for use friendliness and capacity and about the same size.
If you played around with any graphics products a bit, you'll feel at home in no time. Its available in AppImage or PPS though.


I took some of my old pictures to play around and came up with this loading screen (the diamond spins btw ) :

I been running rgw nightly build on my phone and almost decide  to figure out how to intall it on my desktop. It more realistic and reliable then chronuim . I know I know this an LTS distro but sometimes beta works better then stable.

God not dead. He roaring like an lion.

Hi Users,

why does aptitude safe-update recommend gnome-system-monitor and mate-system-monitor ?

xfce monitors are fine for me

Hi everyone,


I'd like to share a collection of scripts I've put together to extend Lite's goodness; UnlockMe@github.


Brave souls willing to take it for a spin in Linux Lite are welcome to provide feedback, request 3rd party application additions to the Application Software section, add your own fixes or code improvements, etc.


UnlockMe app functionality will be certainly familiar to Linux Lite users.


What's included:


- An array of tweaks to further improve your system or simply provide an easy UI to tune core system settings and additional cleanup options.





- Additional checks are in place to prevent installation/uninstallation failures while other Package Managers are executing tasks in your system.
  UnlockMe won't blindly kill a Package Manager process; it will ask the user for confirmation instead. That includes terminal processes (such as apt-get update or apt-get upgrade).





- Applications are removed from the system leaving as little leftovers behind as possible.
  3rd party PPAs are removed during uninstallation
  3rd party repos and keys  are removed during uninstallation
  Desktop shortcuts for All Users are removed when uninstalling applications whenever possible. (with plans to also remove Plank launchers on removal)
  In the case of Web browsers, cache is also cleaned out during uninstall.
- Customization - options to download and install themes, icon themes and cursors themes.





- Options to remove browser's profile
- Overall code optimizations for faster executions - The Application Software section can read and display the list of installed and available applications at least twice as fast as Lite Software and it won't tax your system's resources as much as the list grows larger.





... and much more!


You can install or update UnlockMe, simply by running the following command from Terminal (all in one line):

how to take back my free space on /dev/sda1  ? it show 100% used but i cannt find any file that claim free space on my drive

I am a new convert, from 25 years of using windows.  I am adapting, and I love the CLI POWER, it reminds me of stuff I used to do with batch files before windows, except super mega powerful.  I am new to a lot of the finer details, in-depth SH stuff, but google is my friend so I have learned to add repositories, install stuff, finally found synaptic (thank god, now I have absolutely NO reason to ever use Ubuntu)... and I absolutely love LL, it seems like the perfect transition for someone who still remembers (some aspects of) DOS fondly.  But, well, let me give an example of my current problem.

Did 2nd install of LL (was on 12GB partition, ran out of space...  I'm a downloader).  Works.  Firefox (~v54) wants to update.  Doesn't update automatically.  Takes me to download page, d/l tarball...  here's where the problem comes in.  I'm used to using my "desktop" (workspace) as, well, a work space.  So I pull the FF folder there.  It (v58) runs from the folder, but my "shortcut" still runs v54.  This was apparently fixed after a reboot, but my problem remains:  where am I supposed to put programs that I install "manually" like this?  I know I can put them anywhere I want, essentially, but if I keep doing this, my workspace will fill up...  kind of cool now that I can just make another one, but still.  Where would be a good place to put them?

2nd part - I have d/l some programs this way, and they won't run.  Aside from compatibility issues...  I really prefer to apt-get install, since the OS just "takes care of it", or displays an error.  Of course I am talking about apps that I cannot for whatever reason, install through the CLI.  Are there additional shell commands to "install" things I already have a local copy of?  (I am still working on learning how to "connect" to github/sourceforge for local builds...  another post for another day)

3rd part, say I have an downloaded an app/package that should run, but won't...  how do I identify if it needs other packages installed?  Dependencies?  Is there a shell command for that?
