Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I searched the forum and found this post very informative and instructional by the way, however, I know that inserting links can be funnier, so I decided to make this tutorial. The goal is learning how to insert any link as a word/phrase/sentence of your choice in place of the https:// web address, so  instead of users/readers seeing this https://www.linuxliteos.com/ they see this Linux Lite Rocks! how cool is that, eh?. 
In the first line you noticed that the word "post" points to gold_finger's tutorial link on the forum, for that I did the following:
First,  I clicked on toggle view button

Then I selected that word

Next, I clicked on insert Hyperlink button . 

Finally, I copied and pasted the link into the new window   that pops up, hit OK and that was it, that easy.

Maybe some/most of you know this but since I didn't find anything in the forum about it, I thought of having some fun creating this tuto which I hope you'd found useful  . I think this should work with images too but for some reason I couldn't do it, when previewing I didn't see any image   Seizing the moment I ask, How can I do that? Thanks!
EDIT: The problem was the service I was using to share the image, Imgur only allows to share the link to its site where the image's been uploaded to view. So I tried a different one  This site offers the possibility to copy a bbcode link so you can insert your image directly into your post

Hi, today a post came out on the Wordfence blog describing a couple of vulnerabilities (see https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/10/krack-and-roca/ ).  One of these is in the Wi-Fi WPA-2 protocol. The other is to do with public key authentication. These are not specific solely to Linux, but they affect a huge range of devices.

My question is, are we vulnerable and if so, is there any software that we should be installing on our Linux Lite machines to help protect/mitigate against these vulnerabilities? Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

PS: it's my first time in my life to create a topic (or even an email) on any forum so please .. GO EASY ON ME

I had just saved some changes to an odt. file this morning, closed liber office and on right clicking said file, to copy to USB, the screen darkened slightly, recovered & this weird message box appeared :

Could not grab your mouse.

A malicious client may be eavesdropping on your session or you may have just clicked a menu or some application just decided to get focus.

Try again.

Please, what is 'mouse grabbing'? and "A malicious client" ? and how could they "be eavesdropping on your session" ?  I thought one of the virtues of Linux was not needing antivirus etc, so how could any 'malicious client' be eavesdropping? Also what does "some application just decided to get focus."?  (i did 'try again' without hitch & did try a search here about this without result.) thanks.

I often use the catfish search tool to find files on a 4TB USB drive. However when I open catfish, it often freezes.  I searched the net but couldn't find any report of a known bug, etc. 

Anyone else had this problem?
How does one fix it?

It's getting to be an annoying problem (on setup1 in sig.)
Many thanks in advance for any help with this one.

I'm feeling stupid and helpless. Windows process is to go to cnet, download, double click to install, open, use. I looked in synaptic for Opera browser. Not there. Went to cnet, no Linux version. I am not understanding this. Is it right in front of me and I am not seeing it?

I've just read a thread in software support saying you can burn MP3's to a normal audio CD using xfburn. I've just tried this but got the message -

(filename}.mp3

is not an audio file:

MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder is missing.

You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file.
Probably you need to look at the gst-plugins-* packages
for the necessary plugin

I've looked in synaptic manager but coudn't find anything that looked suitable. What plugins do i need to install?.or am i doing something else wrong? Thanks.

I'm trying to outfit a friend's laptop running LL 3.6, with bluetooth audio. It will require a dongle, as BT is not built in.


I don't see any BT audio in the LL database. At Amazon, only 2 BT audio dongles show up, and the reviews are not encouraging.


Do most BT dongles work with Linux, even if it's not advertised as such?


Thanks.

I have an old Asus laptop x53e with Windows 7 got so slow it was useless.  Finally I googled how to open up the bios.  I knew how but as soon as I press the on button I had to immediately hit the delete button....Happy news, I was able to install  LL 3.6 and WOW!....new life for the old laptop.  It hums along at a pretty good clip now!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! A piece of advice please. I'm dual booting Windows 7 and Linux Lite 3.6. LL's partition has only 30gb, but the more I use LL the more I like it and now I want to increase it's size by taking it from Windows'. I've been googling for this and so far every piece of info I've found  says I have to boot from a live cd/usb and do it from there. I also searched the forum but nothing was even closer to what I want to do. I think I have to boot  into Windows and resize it to free some more space for LL, what's not clear to me is whether it'll be possible to assign this unallocated space to LL. Is that possible? Also, after resizing Windows' partition, can I resize LL's partition from within it? Or do I have to boot from a Live usb and do it from there? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer!
