Dual Booters Cautionary News

One of the biggest discount MS software dealers has developed a security leak on their payment server. Atlantic Discount has yet to take any responsibility for the problem but be aware that I personally made recent purchases there while using Ubuntu LTS and got knicked pretty good at my bank with unauthorized purchases a few days after the initial transaction cleared. Quite simply their payment server is not secure, (and I know it's an internal hack because the connection protocol is secure). I am no ordinary computer user so you can take my word for this. Avoid them for a while even if you have used them in the past. Pay the higher price and use Newegg or Amazon registered suppliers through Amazon. I have chatted with support at AD, and they are certainly loathe to admit to the problem so I'm going to help them admit to it now. I'm old, patient, with time on my hands, but not particularly forgiving of server administrative security incompetence that goes on without any admission of error.

Also deeply discounted but still legal software often has reasons for the discounting usually due lately to containing Windows 10 17xx version bugs, most often the "just a moment" screen bug. There are a series of patches available for this but if you have only one Windows machine and don't know how to fix it login will not be possible on new installs, and after some updates, and even on some brand new OEMs with Windows 10 preloaded (which is very ugly when you think about it), so be careful with your update sequencing, and learn to edit Windows registry from the repair Windows utility. By the way you can circumvent the bug with an Ubuntu live disk and chntpw even on a new install which is easier than adding a patch that itself is awaiting a patch, but eventually the bug will pop again usually after updating. Leave the onboard administrator account without a password activated for a while or you may be fixing the bug several times depending on your update sequencing.

If we are business people we are stuck with Windows, but God it is so much easier to maintain their junk with Linux. Keeps the letters from wearing off my keyboards. Dual boot Linux somewhere on your system if you're stuck with Windows. I will post a follow up note on Atlantic Discount as I'm going to involve Kaspersky now. I have a few friends left that aren't dead yet.

Doing reputable business with consumers (taking their money via servers) means taking responsibility for your hardware systems.

Hi, I'm traveling at the moment and wanted to add an additional clock in the panel tray to keep track of home time in addition to the local time. But I'm not seeing in LL, or on here, how to add a clock. Is this possible?

Is there a way to do a system refresh or reinstall, keeping data, programs and settings?

When 3.6 Final has been released, I'm going to be spending a lot of time on Series 4.x

One of the first things I'm looking at is enhancing the icon set. My first question is, which tray icons do you think looks better for network and sound?

Current set:



Proposed set:

I am trying to install LL3.4 64-bit from a DVD to an empty HDD. I downloaded LL to a different PC and burned the ISO file to a DVD. On the PC to which I am trying to install LL, the DVD drive is first in the boot list. The DVD fails to boot. Other bootable DVDs boot successfully from the drive. Can anyone please suggest what I might try to resolve this? Thanks

The standard installation of Firefox V54 with LinuxLite 3.4 64 bit does not provide the sync function or the password import/export function as can be found on other OS platforms (e.g. Linux Mate).

Can these functions be enabled?
Is this an intentional "feature"?

Why don't add Amarok to the repository?
Clementine doesn't play a song when I want it to. It says play list is finished and when I try clicking on a certain song again, it will NOT play it unless i close the program and reopen it and then click on it.
How monotonous!! There are other issues with it as well. I have tried using it on several occasions and I just don't like it. Please add Amarok to the repository.

I am using slimjet browser. All is fine as long as i use 1 or 2 tabs. If i open more then the browser completely freezes up and cpu usage goes all the way up to 100% ad stays there. I then have to wait till all the tabs are loaded before i can do anything.


Second problem is starting of thunderbird. It takes very long to open. It used to be fast but the last weeks it is getting slower and slower.


Anyone got any ideas on both problems?

My original question is below:  This is now solved - I tried the Fn, F9 option and nothing changed.  Then I tried the suggestion that perhaps the "scroll" feature worked off of the right hand side of the trackpad - Presto it worked.  Thanks a bunch for the various replies 

Question: Perhaps someone can help.  I have loaded Linux lite on 2 older computers and one notebook. With one computer and the notebook the touchpad works great/normally. On the third computer (Toshiba Satellite Pro A-110 the glide function does not work (the left and right mouse click buttons work AND double tapping the touch pad works, however when I use my two fingers to scroll up and down on the touch pad nothing happens.  This movement works on the other computer (Toshiba Satellite A-100 and the Acer notebook).  I have looked at the mouse settings (couldn't see any area for touchpad alone) and all seems to be the same.  Any idea what I can do to have it work or simply try adding an external mouse..?
Thanks in Advance.
