Whenever I put a YouTube link on a post, the Youtube video's 'cover' appears.  How can I stop this happening and just show the link for people to click on should they wish?

Thanks for your help.

  Windows keyboard

Hello!

My friend gave me a keyboard (HIGH-SPEED SERIAL BUS USB 2.0 that has a backlight). But, unfortunately the backlight can be only activated with Windows OS. The only thing that lights up (on this OS) is the Caps and Num Lock. Now, I am just wondering, is there a way to make this work on this OS?


  Request for a return of an old Linux Lite feature

In Linux Lite series 1 as soon as you put in the cd/dvd & booted from it the last choice on the screen was 'Install this distribution permanently' (or words thereabout). So you didn't have to boot into a live environment if you don't want to. You could start the installation right away. I'm asking this for two reasons. The first has to do with new major releases. IE: LL 4.0, 5.0, etc. You can't upgrade from an older version, you have to install fresh. Second, booting to a live environment in a lower power computer (ex: netbook) can be a slow experience, especially if your intention is to install it, not check it out. This was a good feature & I hope it can be considered for a return. Quite usefull for fresh re-installs too. Hope this is a good suggestion.

I've installed Linux Lite on an older PC of a friend. Now he has installed LXDE. Will this make problems?


  Installing Linux Lite 32-bit on EEE 900 netbook

As the title implies, I am trying to get linux lite to install on my EEE 900.  I am booting from a flash drive, and when I get to the boot screen if I choose to start linux lite,  it will freeze immediately.  Memtest86+ will run but anything else freezes.

This computer has an Intel Celeron 900 mhz processor and 2 gb of ram.  I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04.5 and it works well, but a little slow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


  Ways to help promote Lite?

I know this subject has been discussed before. I've posted multiple times about how completely impressed with Lite I am. I'd like to see some additional ways someone like me can promote this really great distro. Here is my situation.

I live in what most of you would call an extremely rural area of southern Illinois. The County I live in has a population of 16,233 and the town has a population of 8,631. Not only that, but all of the surrounding Counties are very similar in demographics. I am disabled/retired and I no longer am active in any clubs or organizations.

So with that in mind, what are ways I can best help promote Lite? I truly believe I've found a Linux distro I can depend on for a long time to come. I'd like to do what I can to help ensure the longevity of the Lite project. Any ideas?

  get_iplayer: TV programme listed, but not available...???

I was really excited to see the iconic film, 2001 - A Space Odyssey, from my youth listed under get_iplayer. This was the output from terminal confirming its listing:

Code:
[mike@MJ-X71Q ~]$ get_iplayer odyssey get_iplayer v3.01, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis   This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.   This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain   conditions; use --conditions for details. NOTE: A UK TV licence is required to legally access BBC iPlayer TV content Matches: 19:    2001: A Space Odyssey - -, BBC Two, b00ls6sl INFO: 1 Matching Programmes

I then typed in the programme number, following the '-g' command in get_iplayer, but it says "no media streams found...":
Code:
[mike@MJ-X71Q ~]$ get_iplayer -g 19 get_iplayer v3.01, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis   This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.   This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain   conditions; use --conditions for details.   NOTE: A UK TV licence is required to legally access BBC iPlayer TV content Matches: 19:    2001: A Space Odyssey - -, BBC Two, b00ls6sl INFO: 1 Matching Programmes WARNING: No media streams found for requested programme versions and recording modes.

Does anyone know of an alternative way (and the steps involved) to download this get_iplayer listed programme in LL?  I'd really love to see this film again.

Many thanks in advance, as ever, for an help with this ...

I thought this was pretty interesting. Put it here because I thought discussion would reflect back to LL.
