I just installed this OS on my pc once again and ran all the updates.
When I opened Firefox and went to Sync, there is NO log -in on the
page. Where is it?

Maybe this could be of help?!

If you search an instant faderset for sound-sources (whatever) use Veromix, which is not so easy because these days there is always something wrong at installtime with the common-file.
I love the thing for years now but I almost could not get it on the pc in spite of searching very hard.

I found out: Install:
Veromix-common 018.3-1 and Veromix 0.18.3-1.1
Here it works great again in LL.

It would be interesting that when using lite tweaks options, they are already marked and do not have to be ticking every time I run the application

Hello,

when checking my ProtonMail today I see they are now offering a Free VPN service, as with the email there are also paid versions available. If you do not already have an account you will need to register to go on a waiting list for the free VPN, and/or email account.

Hi.

I have an old laptop with 500 Mb ram. Does anybody here have any experience installing Linux Lite on that laptop model?

Reason why I ask is that I have already tested out Peppermint OS on that same laptop, but I struggle with some issues (fresh install) - I mention two critical ones:
- Cannot shut down properly (must use power-button)
- Hang up after some idle time (completely freeze).

Because both Peppermint OS and Linux Lite both is based on Ubuntu, my question is: Should I expect same problems regardless of what distro I try to install, as long as the distroes is Ubuntu based?


Thanks

Worried about Microsoft killing off 'Paint'? No worry. It's going to be in the Windows Store. Of course you'll have to be using Windows to get it. But now let's get on to that zombie that should of been killed off long ago - Flash. Adobe has finally admitted today that it’s now time to let it go. As a result, Adobe plans to finally retire Flash in 2020. “We will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats,” the company explained. In the meantime, Flash will still be supported on desktop operating systems and web browsers that already integrate it.
As for Microsoft Edge?
<blockquote>

• Through the end of 2017 and into 2018, Microsoft Edge will continue to ask users for permission to run Flash on most sites the first time the site is visited, and will remember the user’s preference on subsequent visits. Internet Explorer will continue to allow Flash with no special permissions required during this time.
  
• In mid to late 2018, we will update Microsoft Edge to require permission for Flash to be run each session. Internet Explorer will continue to allow Flash for all sites in 2018.
  
• In mid to late 2019, we will disable Flash by default in both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. Users will be able to re-enable Flash in both browsers. When re-enabled, Microsoft Edge will continue to require approval for Flash on a site-by-site basis.
  
• By the end of 2020, we will remove the ability to run Adobe Flash in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer across all supported versions of Microsoft Windows. Users will no longer have any ability to enable or run Flash.
  

I just got linux 3.4 installed on my HP laptop, and all is well. I have been a Linux lover for several years.  My problem is...after using the laptop a while my mouse and keyboard totally freeze up. I have tried using a wired mouse, and the one on the laptop.  Same results.  Any clues what is causing this??

-chntpw-

These days it is fairly common in households and small businesses for there to be more users than computers available. Many families can only afford one household computer, and many small businesses are run on one or two office machines. This can be problematic when users with administrative privileges come and go on a Windows machine, such as growing children, or former employees. On every Windows dual boot machine I set up for people (usually LL or Ubuntu LTS) I add chntpw and foremost after intalling. This saves me a lot of time when the inevitable lost password or lost file issue happens for the Windows users. Both these tools can be run from a live Ubuntu or Kali disk as well. To use them on a live Ubuntu LTS disk you will have to add the universe repository first. Having them already installed on a working Linux system dual booted with Windows on the same machine is much fatser though. If you dual boot with Windows they may come in handy for you. You can install them both from synaptic or a terminal in Linux Lite.

*If you are using an Ubuntu 16.04 series LTS live disk you will need to be connected to the Internet. Open a terminal and type the following commands one after the other as the tasks complete:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chntpw

Open your file manager and make sure Windows is mountable. If you get a message that the Windows drive is not mountable because of file permissions, or a longer message about file orphans, shut down your machine and reboot Windows and login as an administrator if you can. Then shut Windows down holding the shift key down until the mchine goes off. Reboot back into your Linux system and Windows will be mountable.

*If you are using a live Linux disk you will have to go through the steps to add chntpw again.
*If you cannot boot into Windows as an administrator you may have to unplug and/or remove your battery aftyer shutting down Windows. (hard reset)

Once you are back in your Linux system open your file manger and mount the Windows drive. Type: Ctrl+l and the location of your Windows drive will appear in the location bar of your file manager. Copy it. Now open a terminal and type the following command to mount the Windows drive:
cd (paste the location you copied from file manger)/Windows/System32/config and hit Enter.

Then start chntpw with the following command:
sudo chntpw -l SAM

Decide which listed user you wish to clear the password for and enter the following command:
sudo chntpw -u (the user name you wish to clear the password for) SAM
If the user name is proper such as Joe Smith you will need to use quotation marks around it. If it is a single word or name you won't.

Type: 2 and hit Enter (if the user account is locked)
Type: 1 and hit Enter
Type: y and hit Enter
The password will be cleared

Exit chntpw. Exit the Windows directory. Exit the terminal. Unmount the Windows drive in file manager. Shut down. Boot into Windows and sign in to the user without a password.

They all work in Linux Lite.

Now I'm on a Windows 8.1 laptop. If this works I find it hilarious that I can't post a new topic from an LL machine, a Debian 8 machine, or a Debian 9 machine. Seems rather contretemps to me.
