I had a great deal of trouble  previously when I installed  nvidia  drivers  in a  previous distro ; totally frapped  my whole system . Could someone  offer some advice  on which , if any  of these drivers  I should  install ; or , is there some  other explanation why I'm having  trouble installing steam ?        If I install 1 of these others in place  of the x.org Nouveau driver will steam then find it's way to them  ?    As far as I can see all  the noveau  dependencies are met
                             
                                                  thanks all

Installed Skype from Lite Software. It starts up fine and logs me in automatically but will not execute any commands not show any of my contacts. Have uninstalled and reinstalled also from the skype site. Any thoughts on getting it to work.

I am trying to migrate my Mum's old computer from Windows XP over to Linux but am finding it impossible due to the last antivirus programme discontinuing supporting XP.

After spending a great deal of time researching the issues I am going to have to abandon the idea!

I download of Linux Lite 3.6 image file burnt it using ImgBurn, verified it using the same programme and checked the performed an md5sum check which showed the same long number string.

When booting from the Linux Live 3.6 DVD and choosing Start Live a login screen appears in the centre of a turquoise coloured screen.  At the top of the login window it says: Other...

For the Usernames I have tried: linux, ubuntu, admin all the the Password left blank.

I have tried all of the above as a Username and Password.

None of them will allow me to progress past the Login window.

Sometimes after pressing Enter the Login window disappears and is replaced by a mouse symbol and then returns to the Login window.  Other times after the mouse symbol it goes blank and then returns to the Login window.

Why does it need to be logged in where as other Linux versions do not?

Why is there not a direct install to Hard Drive option as with other Linux versions?

The idea was to install a small version of Linux which uses as little resources as possible as the computer is old and slow.  After tyring Lubuntu yesterday and finding no support for the graphics I have no option but to abandon my idea of any Linux and reluctantly install Windows 7  :-(

Which ever 'genius' decided to include the necessity to have to Login in when starting Linux Lite 3.6 Live has not done the version any favours and has done Linux a disservice.

Is is no wonder that Microsoft Windows became so successful as it is so simple to just install it and go without unnecessary time wasting pointless hassle!!

I am frustrated very and disappointed.

Hey guys,

I am using linux lite 2.8 on my Asus K53U laptop, which has Radeon HD 6320 graphics. I followed the instruction in Help Manual about installing the ATI graphic drivers. However, I somehow revert the driver to the default one. Now, I want to get ATI drivers back but I cannot. The selection of "Using Video driver for the AMD graphics accelerators from fglrx" is in grey color and is not selectable.

And when I click the ATI icon from "menu", a error window popped up saying "Failed to execute command 'amdcccle'".

Does anyone can help me to get the ATI drivers back?

Okay guys and gals I am still new here, so hopefully I'm not repeating a conversation that's already posted.

I'm loving LL and Xfce.  I've been busy tweaking and customizing.  I'm curious what your favorite theme and icon combo is.

So far Greybird is my favorite stock theme(style?).

However I wasn't 100% on any of the stock icons.  Faenza, Humanity and Gnome were all good, but just didn't quite do it.  After testing  A LOT of icon packages I didn't find any that were perfect, but I finally settled on Matrilineare.  It's similar to Faenza but I prefer the design and color scheme.  Here's a list of the other icon packages that I also like:

Box (Lubuntu theme)
Darkenza
FFW
Square-Beam
Vamox

Your turn.  What's your favorite them/icon combo?

This week I've been looking to make certain parts of the website easier to use, and to provide a better experience.

The Hardware Database now has an expand button so that the entire list doesn't load without showing.

Let's get out the vote for Linux Lite.

3 years in on Linux full time, best I can say is thanks to the team.  Never fails.  I still distro hop a bit, but, again, lite never fails me.  Thanks. 

It appears that the update procedures used by LL have some problems right now based on other posts (but I have not experienced any of those so far!).  I am reporting that on at least three recent occasions when updates were detected the gui-window which allows you to see the updates before install did not populate but remained blank.  If I then pushed the install button on the blank window the update progress window opened and correctly installed the updates, which I could check in the log file window then available.  Tonight it happened to me again so this time I cancelled the install and then initiated the install software procedure from the menu again.  This time the updates appeared as they should and installed correctly.

This possible minor "bug" does not trouble me personally as I do get available updates.  However I am intending to install LL on a friends old laptop for his use and I do not like to raise doubts in his mind about the reliability of Linux (he is a Windows convert).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so is there a solution?

Linux Lite works great on my old Gateway laptop, except for the keyboard. Its a US QWERTY keyboard with a function key that lets you type alternate characters on some keys. There is a row of numbered keys near the top, the "zero" key types "/" when used in conjunction with the function key in windows. The "M" key types "zero" when used in conjunction with the function key in windows. But in Linux Lite those key work backwards, you have to press an hold the function key to type "M" on the M or 0 key and you have to hold the function key and press the 0 or / key to type 0. Is there a way to fix this problem with out adding a usb keyboard?
