  Latest kernel in LL Final?
Posted by: BarryVG - 07-05-2017, 02:34 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

Having noted the final edition of Linux Lite 3.4 has been announced, I also saw a reference in Softpedia.com on July 3rd, that Lite can have the latest kernel installed.  My question, is the latest kernel 4.12 a part of this final edition?

  Remmina remote desktop client no longer working
Posted by: justme2 - 07-05-2017, 01:50 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (9)

Does anyone regularly use Remmina? I can't connect anymore to remote desktop, SSH login or SFTP to my server, no settings have been changed. RDP etc from windows does connect, as does putty and another RDP client (whose name I can't just recall). It became 'broken' recently. Using LL3.4 with all updates installed. Can someone please test Remmina on their system?

I can confirm that I can connect to my server using Remmina from a LL2.8 installation.  Sad

Thanks.

  Launcher to install new updates
Posted by: smhardesty - 07-04-2017, 11:05 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

I know this can be done, but I've got a real mental block for some reason. What I want to do is create a Menu item and then also a Launcher to install new updates. I normally just open Synaptic, reload package info, then mark all upgrades and apply. No problem for me. However, that's more than my wife is comfortable with so I decided to just create a Menu item and a Launcher. But I can't for the life of me remember how to do it and I can't seem to find directions here in the forum or via a 'Net search. I'm brain dead. I can't even enter the right search words to locate what I want to do. Can somebody help me out? Thanks.

  Converting from Mint to Lite on a HP2000 laptop.
Posted by: dfshunk - 07-03-2017, 09:20 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi all,

  I have a five-year old HP2000 laptop that I converted to Linux Mint. After the success I've had with Lite on a 2006 MacBook, I want to convert the HP2000 to Lite as well. However, I've tried multiple times to load from a DVD and USB and I just cannot get anything to work. I've made the USBs on several tools and nothing is working. I've gone into the BIOS to get the computer to boot a DVD and from a USB and the machine still boots from the hard drive. I know I'm missing something simple but cannot figure out what it is. Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Don

Hi everyone,

  My name is Don and I'm an old dog learning new tricks. I've converted two old MacBooks and an HP to Linux finding that all three computers work better with Linux than with the original OS's. I've installed Lite on the oldest MacBook and, so far, it runs much better than it did on Mac OS X..

Here we go,
Don
