so far i figured out what i need and want to do on linux lite 3.6. 64bit
i like it alot, and am going to use it as my main machine.
and once i fix my windows pc, i will use that as a back up , for my husband , when he needs it.
my new main linux pc is a 6 year old Lenovo AMD 64bit dual core , 500 GB hard drive, 8 GB ram(memory).
video and graphics are on board , or integrated into the mother board .
if you have questions, please ask .
yours truly Karen
Hi Jerry,
If you feel like sharing...I'm curious as to what distro(s) was your preferred daily driver prior to creating Linux Lite.
Thx
I thought I'd let you guys know that I won't be around very much for a while. Not that I'm super active on here, but I normally at least login once a day to read the latest posts. I've been given ownership and control of a model car forum, which is a hobby of mine. To cut through all the small talk and get to the point, I decided to take the forum over to offer model builders another place to visit that is friendly and helpful. A couple of the "big name" forums seem to be cluttered with bickering and name calling, so a lot of guys left those big forums and found small, friendly places to spend their online time. That's a whole lot like this forum. You just don't read anything on here that's derogatory towards any person. That's the kind of environment I'm going to provide for members of my new forum. It's actually a very old forum, but has been nearly inactive for the past couple years.
Anyway, enough about all that. I just wanted to say I won't be real active here for a while until I can get that forum up and running smoothly. If any of you guys happen to be model car builders, or think you might like to get into the hobby, feel free to check my forum out. Just remember that I haven't even started to clean things up and get it running smoothly. Things will change a bit over the next few weeks. Thanks!

anyone else having an issue with Yahoo.com not loading completely on FireFox57 or Waterfox56. i've tried both with and without add-ons enabled, with the same results. i even tried refreshing Firefox.
i get a message at the top of the page,"A web page is slowing down your browser."
Hi all
I'm running Linux Lite 3.6 and i decided to install Clamav as shown in the manual. But when i tried to update clamav i got this:

[sudo] password for colin:

Hi all, I have encountered this error now when my E6330 is booting up. It was so fast I almost missed it. ACPI error. I have found a way to turn it off by editing the grub file. By doing do I disabled my laptop touch pad and mouse functions. So I had to use an external mouse to undo what I did. It's not affecting the way the laptop boots or functions just wondering if there is a way to remove that error notice.
Thanks
I quickly checked LL 3.4 on an older Acer Aspire 5000 that was running XP. BUT I forgot to test the ethernet cable before I decided to install LL 3.4 
So unlike the other two computers that didn't connect to the WiFi, but did so via ethernet cable with me doing nothing this computer isn't connecting via the ethernet cable.
I'm unsure if I simply need to go in and add a network (I am a real newbie). I am figuring it may be a driver issue, but have no way to get the driver.
I am wondering what to do?
My thoughts were:
1) use the ethernet cable (which itself does work) and hook it to another computer then look at all the network info (not sure exactly what I need, but maybe ip address..?) and then hook it to the non-connecting computer and put in all the same settings so as to hopefully get it connected to do all the updates (which with the other computers resolved the WiFi problem).
2) is there a way I can download the driver or update or kernel needed on another computer for this one?
Thanks,
Janet
looking for a secondary browser, i found one called Waterfox. the devloper claims to have stripped down FireFox, in escence making it a lite version of FF.
has anyone used or have an opinion of the Waterfox browser? it does run some older extensions that FF57 won't. i've been using it for about a week and like it.
let me know your thoughts and or concerns...........
So I am coming back to linux after many many years away. I am trying to use LL to make my junky laptop usable. After booting from a usb drive I love it. The install completed and promted me to restart, so I did. However, after booting up it just takes me back into the live user and doesn't ask for my password. I have tried installing 3 times and still nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
Linux Lite 3.6x64
Noticed this over the last couple of Days.
You are logged into the Linux Lite Forum and it will Log-Out at Random.
Only noticed this since the Xmas Wallpaper change.
Any one else having this problem.......?.
