Have successfully installed Linux Lite 3.6 on an SSD, so  looked in the Install Manual for 'Enabling TRIM on your SSD'.

There is a script highlighted in yellow included in the instructions and as a 'Linux Newby'  have to admit to not understanding some of the instructions:-

1) 'Copy the text below and edit it to match your set up'.  Which lines need to be edited and to what values?
2) '#By default this script does nothing.'  Puzzled by this line in the yellow box.

So, to anyone who has successfully installed TRIM on LL, any help would be appreciated !!
Thanks in anticipation,
Alan

Friday p.m - Just back from a pleasant liquid lunch. With a little Dutch Courage and perseverance I have managed to sort this out myself from the Install Guide without doing any damage.  TRIM now working !!

Hi everyone,

It's that time again

I'm now taking suggestions for new features in Linux Lite 3.8

What constitutes a good suggestion? (I'm going to number these so that I can help point out to those who make a suggestion that doesn't fit the below criteria)

1. An idea that benefits the majority. Personal ideas can be good, but remember, they are preferences personal to you.
2. Software, features, additions to existing software that will benefit most people.
3. New wallpapers: must be a minimum of 1080p, and less than 1mb, excellent quality (no pixelation) that has general appeal. Only png's and jpegs will be accepted and you must provide the actual source and accompanied license in a url.
4. Additions to the Help Manual. These are always welcome.

Example of a good suggestion:

I was thinking about adding a media multi converter to Lite Software. It will convert images, video, audio, documents etc. I think this is something that would benefit a lot of people.

What stays the same during a Series? (I'm going to assign a letter to these so that I can help point out to those who make a suggestion that doesn't fit the below criteria)
Usually the following:

a. Boot splash
b. Login screen
c. Grub
d. Default theme and icon set
e. Menu and menu structure
f. File manager, Terminal, Browser, Email client etc

I will read and consider every post in this thread. Please don't get disconcerted if I don't reply to your post. There is the chance I may think your idea would be better suited to the next Series for example.

A big thank you from me and the developers

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!
My fellow "Linuxers", what are your favourite apps? I'm asking for those ones you install on whatever distro you're using at the moment according to your needs and likes as well as those ones you've discovered in the way. I guess you're on LL now while maybe dual booting with another one. I myself have developed a certain preference for some apps which I always install in any distro I try and discovered new ones that've gained a place into that list. So, these are mines:

Multimedia

QMplay2
I've never been a fan of VLC, while it does fine, I find it a little bit slow and short of features. I like qmplay2 better, it can play all formats supported by FFmpeg, libmodplug (including J2B and SFX). It also supports Audio CD, raw files, Rayman 2 music and chiptunes. It contains YouTube and Prostopleer browser and a bunch of other modules. The application is created by Błażej Szczygieł. You'll have to download a .deb file in order to install qmplay2, which you can find here http://zaps166.sourceforge.net/?app=QMPlay2

Clementine
A free and open-source audio player. It is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. It is available for Unix-like, Windows and macOS. Clementine is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. In LL simply do

Hello,
 
  I have just started with Linux lite. I have been using Lubuntu. I would like to ask you if is possible to set "delete key" in order to ask me permission "If I am really sure that I want to delete particular file". I had this setting in Lubuntu and I really miss it. I know that files go to bin but I would prefer request for permission even before file is moved to bin.
  I believe in your skills, my friends.

Hellooo!

I know theres a game forum but this is related to the hardware part.
I was testing some hardware and found myself searching for the a Joystick properties app.
In windows, you have a gaming section where you can check if buttons work, etc.
I did not find anything similar in Linux Lite... but I'm still no0b.
I found this GUI app though and works great : jstest-gtk
I was wondering if LinuxLite had something similar I didnt find? :-O

Cheers!

Pirouette is an alternate Linux Lite boot splash:

Hello everyone, I have a issue with one of my machines bootint up, you see on this machine I also had Lubuntu installedbut decided to install Linux lite 3.6. When I boot the machine I still see Ubuntu 16.04 on the splash screen and not Linux lite logo, is there something I need to change?

Hi guys!

I'm new to LinuxLite, installed it on a rather old PC that became quite slow with LinuxMint... So far the experience is really good (a lot snappier!!), but a couple of things are different obviously... Thanks for your kind help:

This old PC is being used in a small shop as a cash desk, so it uses an EPSON thermal receipt printer, which I was able to install right away without problem.

But we do use a script to automatically print the receipts and it uses the "lpr"-command which does not seem to be installed in LinuxLite. All my attempts to install it did not work, so I ran out of ideas but it is probably a simple issue... here is the responses:

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!
I was re-reading this book today and thought of sharing this particular piece which I think might come very handy for those times when you -we - are struggling at learning Linux and think "how a noob I am" "this is frustrating" or somethink like that, so instead of aknowledging what we already learned we focus on the things we don't know...yet, and how these things are keeping us from getting the results we want, and here's when the frustation feeling starts. I think this might help you to understand and develope your particular way of learning: 
"When learning a particular skill, the process is predictable and has a distinct start and finish. While people differ in the unique aspects of learning, such as how quickly they learn, what comes easily to them, and where they get stuck, the overall process is exactly the same.
The “Adult Learning Model ” (ALM) is a straightforward theory that defines the four distinct levels of the learning process. The four levels are:

Level 1 — Unconscious Incompetence. You don’t even know what you don’t know. In other words, you’re blind to the ways that you lack skill.
Level 2 — Conscious Incompetence. Now you’ve become conscious of what you don’t know. But that doesn’t make you skilled, it just means you know what skills you need to improve. Becoming conscious happens from either your own insight or insight that is shared with you by someone else.
Level 3 — Conscious Competence. If you’ve reached this level, it means you’ve done some work and/or have had enough repetition to gain some skill. The only catch is that in order to be skilled, you need to think about what you’ve learned ... otherwise, you return to being incompetent.
Level 4 — Unconscious Competence. At this level, you’ve learned something so well that it is now totally automatic and requires no thinking. Unconscious Competence is the Holy Grail of learning.
A familiar example that shows the ALM in action is learning to drive a car. Remember when you were a small child thinking about driving a car. You barely knew what a car was, let alone how to drive one. This is Unconscious Incompetence. Then as a teenager, you became much more aware of driving and perhaps were frustrated by the fact that you couldn’t drive. You became conscious of your incompetence. Now think back to when you got behind the wheel for the first time. In order to drive a car, you first needed to learn how to: steer, step on the gas, watch the road, and change the radio station all at the same time; parallel park; adjust to the speed of highway traffic; and deal with thousands of unique situations. Then, you needed to concentrate and think about all of these things so you didn’t kill yourself or others. This is Conscious Competence. After driving for years, you no longer think about every single action needed to drive a car; your skill comes naturally and with little effort. You can handle driving, listening to music, talking to passengers, and extreme situations that arise, such as adverse weather, all without much thought. Driving is a skill now trained to the level of Unconscious Competence."
I think that having this piece of information can prove to be very helpful not only regarding learning Linux but anything else in our lives, specially when it comes to solving problems/situations that demands the most of us.
Well, I hope you find this post at the very least informative as well as helpful. And remember; we're all learning new stuff everyday and this is particularlly true when it comes to Linux.
