  Lite Tweaks task grouping
Posted by: smhardesty - 07-29-2017, 06:35 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (8)

I just ran Lite Tweaks as I do regularly. I happened to accidentally select a task I didn't want to. I had check marked "Bootup Fix" by mistake. This is primarily due to my older age and deteriorating vision. I always double and triple check my selections before I "Begin" the processes so I caught the mistake before running the tasks. This is the second time I have caught a mistake.

My suggestion would be to group the tasks by risk factor. Maybe the "Safe" tasks could be listed first, then the "Caution" tasks second. Separating them would be even better and maybe a cautionary note could be included before the tasks in the "Caution" group. New users to LL might not fully understand the risk involved, especially if the user happens to be a casual computer user who just switched from Windows.

Not sure if that would even be possible, but it occurred to me when I caught my mistake this time.

  VirtualBox running Mint 18.2
Posted by: BarryVG - 07-29-2017, 02:22 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (18)

After installing VirtualBox using Lite Software, setup Mint 18.2 and when I started it, got an error messag that a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv  It then says to install virtualbox-dkms package and load kernel module by executing  'modprobe vboxdrv as root.

Did this and the package will still not run.  Uninstaled and reinstalled Virtualbox and still no headway.  What am I missing.

Running on Dell Precision M4500 i7 with 8gb ddr3 ram.
Systems runs LL3.4 very well and I was hoping to use Virtualbox with this as it was in the Lite software and hopefully ready to run after installation. :-[

  Installing 3.2 to Dell 5755 Inspiron?
Posted by: PinStripe - 07-29-2017, 12:08 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

I just got this laptop and it does have Windows 10 installed under UEFI.

Can I install LinuxLite if I were to WIPE WinBlows from the drive?

Just disabling UEFI and Secure Boot?

I wanted to do a dual boot, but if it's not possible, then I will wipe Win10 out.
I really don't care for Windows as I have not ran it since the release of Win8.
But still some programs I run require Windows or Mac to run them. I have a
Mac, but I was going to sell it.

What are my options?

Or do I go back to Mint XFCE?

EDIT: I just booted up into the Live 3.2 edition and tried connecting my wifi and the security option only offers WEP!
What?? Where is WPA??

  Login Settings

"Login Settings" should be included in "Lite User Manager", as it corresponds to a user's options. :Smile

I'm already having several issues with 3.4 version. Where can I re-download the last version of this OS?
I want to go back. I had way less issues.

I just installed this OS on my pc once again and ran all the updates.

  Veromix (instant faders for your sound-sources)
Posted by: rijnsma - 07-27-2017, 02:38 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

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.

  Lite Tweaks

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  Wink

  ProtonMail is now offering a Free VPN

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.
