I installed 3.6 with LVM and encryption enabled for the whole hard drive. When I boot, I see just the feather splash screen. I can type in my encryption password and it boots normally, but there is nothing on the screen asking for the password. If it doesn't fully boot, I can't tell if it's hanging or I just typed the password in wrong.

The only related post I've found had a user installing 3.4 multiple times due to "hanging" issued until it worked correctly: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start.../#msg33720
I'm wondering if this user was encountering the same problem but hadn't tried typing in their password when it seemed to hang.

Is there something I'm missing here? If it is a bug, is there a verbose mode I can switch on for boot if the password request is showing up as text underneath the splash screen?

Is there any one have problem login in to yahoo mail with firefox ??
I have try everything  but no go. It say something abt crashing.
The only way to get in to yahoo mail  I get there on the safe mode ONLY..
Any one know how to fix it??
firefox 57.0.1 32 bit on ll 3.6
Thanks

I was looking for a linux distro to put on my old Dell D430 and come across Linux Lite and tried it and was impressed.

I used to use PCLinuxOS Full Monty but it is no longer available, so i installed Linux Lite on my desktop as well.

I will be posting the scripts and graphics files for this theme in desktop cutomization for anyone interested.

Different computer, new question! I just got back an old Dell Latitude 630 about 7-9 years old from one of the youth whom I help academically. Luckily just AFTER his last exam the hard disk drive failed so looks like I will need to replace it.

Before I go to the trouble of purchasing one on amazon.com and having a friend bring it to me here in South Africa I wanted to find out what exactly I’d need to do (and if I was capable of doing it) once the HDD is replaced to simply switch it to LL 3.4?

This computer was running Win XP and I am wondering once the new HDD is inserted (I’m comfortable with replacing it) do I need to do anything or as long as the boot order is right will my LL 3.4 USB be mounted ok allowing me to simply load and trial LL then install?

Thanks,
Janet

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

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.
