When I installed Lite on my two laptops I was for some reason unable to connect to my wireless HP 4510 series printer. Rather than fight with it I connected the printer to the desktop PC in that room and shared the printer. Problem solved. Both laptops were setup to connect to the shared printer on the desktop PC. Just now I started to print a document from my laptop and there was no printer listed! I popped "Printers" open and nothing was there so went ahead with the "Add Printer" routine. A soon as I clicked on the "Network Printer" drop down the HP 4510 was listed! I've done nothing to either laptop, but all of a sudden the network printer just showed up.

Not that it's a bad thing, but any ideas why this would just suddenly work that way it should?

When attempting to install wine, this is the prompt I received:

Some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server(s).
Do you want to continue, ignoring these packages?

W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool...1_i386.deb
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.23 80]

Can you please update the repositories?
And also, when can the wine version be updated? Wine is over 2.0 now!

What does the community think about Googles material design approach. Do flat icon themes look good on Linux Lite?

Hi, greetings from Sweden

Installed Linux Lite 3.4 last night without any problems. Added KXStudio repo to it - no problem. Everything is running smooth on my "old" HP Elitebook 850p with 8GB RAM and a external Berhinger UMC22 usb soundcard. Can't be happier. This weekend I'm gonna install Harrison Mixbus and test some recording with a bunch of plugins.

I always split my hd into 4 partitions +swap, like this:
Boot 2GB
swap 8GB
/ root 100GB
/home 50% of free space (~100GB)
/audio 50% of free space (~100GB)

In my case I have a 320GB SATA HD. Don't know if I need swap when I have 8GB RAM but I have it just in case.

It's a great distro and I give 10 out 10 so far yay!

Hey people of the intertubes!


Search these forums with the magical search field at the top right for this and did not find a hit but... I wuz just wondering if the Calamares Installer had been suggested before has an installer for Linux Lite?

I've been using Windoze for the last 25 years and in the last year or so I tried at least 84.2 distros (some didn't boot ) . The best one for me is of course Linux Lite 8) but had different troubles installing it since 2.2 (and other distros using the same installer sometimes) . I did some research and looks like Calamares is a "Universal" installer. Has it been tried (or implemented before) in Linux Lite?

Cheers to all, but mainly to Jerry since he's a Magical Being that creates miniature rainbows behind him when he walks.

Hi, expanding on my intro post. I recent bought an Acer aspire one KAV60, formerly from a school, with Win 7 installed. Wifi worked. I installed Linuxlite 3.4 (32bit) from live USB, getting rid of Win7. NOw I have no wifi, clicking on icon I only get enable networking (tickbox), VPN connections & edit connections. The wifi indicator light on the front panel is off and the switch on the front edge of the machine has no effect. To repeat wifi worked fine with win7. I've not had do stuff like this before so haven't a clue what to do next except ask here. Anyone ?

Hi, I thought I better say hello before asking for help, so 'Hello' everyone.
I've two problems - one with an install of LL 3.4 (32bit) on a 'new to me' acer Aspire one (c.2008) in which the WiFi no longer works post install & the other- this 'new to me' HP 15 series laptop (c.2014) running Win10 that doesn't even want recognise the live USB. I'll post separately in the relavent sections starting with the Acer as that acctually has LL on it. CHeers.

Right this instant for fun I'm running LL 3.6 beta live 64bit in gnome-boxes on Ubuntu LTS. Runs very fast no lags. Hope this kind of success continues. Nice for testing. Amazing to me.

Note* To get it to run in boxes from Ubuntu you first have to select boxes as the default application to open it with in nautilus. Then the ISO will load without complaint under NEW in boxes. The speed is unbelievable.

Hi everyone:  I'm relatively new to Linux Lite, but what I'm experiencing has me completely baffled.  We recently got set up with a POS software program (run via a web site) that allows us to process credit cards.  I had an old HP pc laying around, and thought this would be a perfect use for it, as it would only be used for this sole purpose.  I installed the OS, loaded up the web site in Firefox, and when I get to the point to submit the transaction for processing, the web server responds with an error.  It's not a standard error or a browser error - it's an error generated by the POS web server stating it cannot process the transaction, and it instructs me to refresh the browser.  I do that, and it's an endless circle.

I tried the POS web service with Firefox, Chromium and Google Chrome, and all three refused to process the transaction.  For grins, I tried processing on my Windows PC using Google Chrome, and it went through without an issue.

What am I missing here?  A web browser is a web browser ... what would make this work on a Windows browser, but not work on a Linux browser?  I'm totally at a loss ......

Thanks for any light you can shed on the subject!
