I've got several questions that maybe could be cleaned up in one thread. Any help would be appreciated.

• I just started using workspaces. I can switch them by Ctrl-Alt-<left|right>, or by mouse action. Is it possible to list all open programs in both/either the Panel and/or the Alt-Tab dialog, and thereby switch directly to the desired prog? I know I can do it by middle-click on the desktop, but the desktop is not always visible. I think it's important to have a view of all open progs.
  
• I have lost the window snapping function. Toggling settings does not jog it back on. Full disclosure: I installed LXDE, thinking to give it a try, just before this happened. I didn't find a way to invoke it, and I've since uninstalled much of it, but snapping is not back. Is there any way to restore it?
  
• Is there a compositor available for LL? I might want to check out some advanced features.
  
• Lastly, though not desktop related, I seem to have lost the ability to update LL. Updates is no longer in the Menu. I did configure the new automatic reminders, for twice a week, I believe, but I haven't seen any sign of them in a week, which doesn't seem right. I'm on 3.4, and Upgrade says this is the latest. So can one still update manually?
  

Hi everyone,
after installation, i change my uid and gid.
After that, if I mount devices (hd partitions or usb stick) with thunar, the device results mounted, but it is empty in thunar (inaccessible), probabily it's a permission problem (udisk2? polkit?)

otherwise
if i use mount command from terminal
sudo mount /dev/sda5 (or other partition)
the partition results correctly mounted and accessible.

any suggestions?

Hi Everbody!

I recently intalled MAME for some old school gaming. however I need some light and tips on config and running games.
I know you have to download Roms (games) to specific folder...
Can anyone show me how it's done?
I don't know much about using the terminal. I tried searching for folders in MAME but cant's find any!

is anyone using MAME to play games on LL?

Thanks

I'm currently building a collection of peripheral Hardware on our Buy Linux Hardware page that people can choose from.

http://www.linuxliteos.com/buylinuxhardware.html

I'm looking for feedback on what hardware you have that works out of the box, especially Printers or Scanners.

It must have the following criteria:

INCLUDES:

Network Adapter PCI/PCI-X/PCI-E
Printers
Scanners (standalone, not part of a printer or multifunction)
Multifunction printers
TV Tuner/Card
Webcams
Wireless Network Devices

1. You bought it in the last 2 years brand new.
2. It must have worked out of the box on Linux Lite 3.x Series only with, no drivers, no extra fiddling, scripts or configuring.
3. If it is a Multifunction center, everything must work out of the box, copy, scan and print.

All we need is the make and model, no extra details eg. Brother HL-2170W or Intel PWLA8492MT

Thank you all in advance

A high-severity vulnerability has been reported in Linux that could be exploited by a low privilege attacker to gain full root access on an affected system.
The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2017-1000367, was discovered by researchers at Qualys Security in Sudo's "get_process_ttyname()" function for Linux that could allow a user with Sudo privileges to run commands as root or elevate privileges to root.

1. Make sure to run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

2. Open a terminal:

Hello everyone, I'm Peter, I've just started out with Linux Lite 3.4 on my old Toshiba M200 tablet PC. This machine was destined for the local recycling center but I decided to give it one last try with a different OS - and I am so glad I did!

Linux Lite not only supports the hardware it even made the WACOM tablet build into the screen function! This is the first OS that has successfully achieved this, I can even stream online videos which is also a first (albeit a little choppy but perfectly watchable). I've tinkered with the system to get over some initial problems, I've modified the hardware so I can keep it in tablet mode all of the time and I've got a really nice set up on it that does everything I wanted to achieve (so far )

My idea is to mount the Toshiba tablet PC in my office and have my web-based work calendar, tasks and also local contact lists. I am also thinking to have social media notifications.

Thank you so much for creating a distro so good!

Hi guys!

Could not send object info...

Can anyone help?

After install on HP-dv8000 laptop, I installed a couple prog's through SPM. I installed Chrome browser thru command line found on LL forum.

Next day when opening Synaptic Pkg Mgr, I get an "error occurred" msg box filled about 20 errors:

"W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list:3 and  etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list:1"

and

"W: Target Translations.......etc, etc, etc...."

All the errors are related to Google Chrome. Do you need the entire log posted?

What is this, and does it require a fix? If so, please advise.

Thanks

I've collected data from different linux installations, and I've asked some linux specialists for their opinion, how many hard disk space is needed for the directory or partition of "/opt".

Because there are some very different statements on what is necessary, I would like to collect some data from the real world. What is going on in fact, not in theory?

Therefore I request everybody to check what's going on at his own linux system. You only have to put the following command in your terminal and post the result here.
