hello linux lt on all machines
i have three home pc s on my net work and i am trying to learn in bash so i have been playing with ssh. all my machines have ssh and ssh  opensshd-sever. and i was able to ssh # 102 to #107 and vice versa. but now only #102 ssh 's  to 107 . connect timed out port 22.    however both machines have ufw  turn to OFF
i have know a lot of commands but i dont know all the terminology so i get lost in some of the explanations and tutorial that i have used. is there a direct way to allow or not allow ports to be seen or set in terminal or gui  ............. netstat and its other similar commands are not clear to me
i only am using this to learn in terminal and not for work or anything important . i log as w**@machinename like this w**@desktop:~$          w**@laptop:~$  w**@htpc:~$          and on localhost my router so do i need a user name@ or just ssh ip address. ?

nano is not working for me on 102 if i grep listen config page blank and a purge or reinstall i dont think fixes problem b/c it doesnt redo lists as it needs too .


i like linux and never go bac to wnds. sorry for the poor note and grammar from the deep wet south

Dear folks,

How can I download latest Linux Lite version with non-PAE kernel 3.16 or more than it? We are using 1GHz dual core DMP Vortex86DX3 processor.

Please suggest for DMP vortex processor. We don't have forcepae flag support.

Thanks,
helloami

At some point I hopefully will run out of questions!

On one of the five donated laptops/notebooks on which I have loaded LL 3.4 I inadvertently enabled "this" (see photo). Now each time I boot up the computer and go into my administrator user (I have also set up a second user) I get this message. I am trying to upload a photo, but in case it doesn't show up it is a white box in the middle of my screen that says:
                                                DEFAULT
                                                Last accessed: Sat Aug 12 11:28:24 2017


                                                Log Out                      New Session

I believe I double click on the session (Sat Aug...) which then is allowing me to continue and it goes away.
       
I tried going into the lite tweaks and going into manage sessions and disabling it for all users, however it is still popping up.  I'm not sure how to get rid of this happening and I forget what I did initially (it wasn't via the lite tweak) that I turned this on...

Any easy fixes?

I have been used to being able to title a restore point rather than just having a date in Win XP and Win 7 such that I have a better idea of what I backed up e.g. "Before adding ____".

Is naming or re-naming a restore point something I can do in LL 3.4?  I've tried changing the title by double clicking in the date field and it will allow me to type stuff in, however once I exit then go back to the restore window it is back to the date only...

If yes, might someone be able to provide me with detailed instructions? I can't seem to find anything about this specific subject when I search.

Thanks in advance.

Some manufacturers (e.g. Dell & some others) make  computers for the Linux market.  These manufacturers appear to be few and far between and their products tend to cost significantly more than the majority of  machines which are mostly made for the Windows OS market.

Are modern computers, which are sold as "Linux computers",  merely  Windows OS machines with Linux installed on them, with the token penguin sticker applied to the Windows key?

Or are they built differently, being configured specifically for Linux operating systems?
Are any of them  BIOS-only machines, or have they fully embraced Microsoft's obsession with putting UEFI on all new machines?

Interested to hear your replies...

Cheers
Mike

Hi: I am a new user of Linux Lite and have been very impressed by what I have seen so far. I have migrated now 5 Pcs from Linux Mint to Linux Lite; this is because due to bloat and the new kernel my hardware is no longer compatible with the latest Linux Mint. However, I find it all runs OK on Linux Lite - very good.

However, I do have a few problems. Initially I had a problem with Wireless cards (doesn't almost everyone?). I have now solved most of those problems. The remaining problem which I have is with Numlock being enforced by the OS it seems whatever you do; although this start-up option is inhibited in my BIOS and I have now also selected the option to inhibit it in Linux Lite, it still defaults to numlock ON. This results in some PCs not being able to log in at all because it distorts normal keys.  Does anyone know how to inhibit this idiocy once and for all please? Why on earth anyone would want to override the BIOS setting for Numlock at every start-up God only knows?

Also one other thing which I find annoying is the integration of the normal mouse cursor pointer and the timing rotating icon splurged on it. Is there any way to inhibit the mouse cursor whilst a timed function is performing, so that only the timing rotating icon shows please?

Other than those two issues I think this is probably now the very best Linux OS for older XP vintage PCs, and long may it continue.

I received this error trying to install updates:

============ Log ===========

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Thank you Mr. Jerry Bezencon for your nice work, and for all boys, who helping to do this!!
I'm an old Linux user (Mandrake->Uhu-linux->Pclos) and after long time testing Linux-distributions, I landed here !
I have NOT any kind of problem with install your nice work ! Its just work, and work...

Helloooo!


To have the latest version I installed Wine from here :
https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu
using the version [color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel[/color]


But the Wine icons (WineCfg, Windows Program folder, etc.) do not show up up the Whisker menu.


Is there something else I'm suppose to do or it's maybe because of the Whisker menu itself?


Yeah, I try to spread Linux Lite but being able to run some Windows apps is a nice "selling" point.

Anyone else seeing this Google Chrome indicator in the panel?  Just started noticing it over the last week.  When I unchecked "Let Google Chrome run in the background," it went away.  Perhaps it was part of an update.  I didn't want it.  Even when the Google Chrome window was closed, that indicator stayed in the panel. 


I like how Linux allows us to use an app even while it's being updated.  I also like how after the app has updated, Linux allows us to close and reopen the app to immediately be on the app's new version.  With that Google Chrome indicator, I felt even with the Chrome window closed, the Google Chrome app wasn't completely shutdown until I manually exited the panel indicator.


What it looked like while "Let Google Chrome run in the background" was still checked.
 


After it was unchecked.
