Are they really necessary?

I have gone through UBUNTU 12.04 14.04 & 16.something before ending up with this Linux Lite & as with the other variants at each update & upgrade my operating system seems to get more dysfunctional.

This computer was working beautifully for a brief period of time before I upgraded & updated from the original Linux Lite I installed from a disk + the addition of Shotwell that I was helped to install through this forum but now the dysfunctional aspects are starting to get on my tits.
Could I just reinstall the original Linux Lite  (2.04 I think it was) & stay with that,what would be the consequences?

Looks like this could be handy for laptops and multi screen set ups.

Recently i installed Linux Lite 3.4 64bit on a friends laptop. Now she asked me to create a dual boot with OpenSuse Leap 42.2
She has a SSD which i can split into 2 partitions, one for Linux Lite and one for OPenSuse. At the moment the drive is one large partition, no home partition or swap partition.

Now the question is how to make sure that both systems do boot after OPenSuse is installed.

In recognizing the frustration of trying to find Linux compatible hardware, we've built an online store utilizing Amazon's huge range of products.
We've taken the guess work out of buying Linux compatible hardware.

This has taken a long time to put together, to research each piece of hardware to ensure plug-and-play compatibility with Linux.

The Store is located here:

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



I understand this is not available in all countries but this is the best solution I can come up with, without purchasing a whole lot of stock.
Especially if you live in the USA, please consider using our Store rather than anywhere else. Purchases from the Store directly benefit Linux Lite.

Thank you for your support

I know this is operating system related.  I was able to do what I needed using the Live USB version of Linux Lite 3.4 64 bit.  I cannot create a folder on flash drives that are FAT formatted.  Last week I mistakenly downloaded and ran the 32 bit version of Etcher.  I ran the 64 bit version (the version I needed) afterwards, and things seemed ok.  Now it doesn't, and I cannot get any FAT formatted flashbacks drives to allow me to write to them.  The permissions say root is the owner, but when I try to change it via the terminal, it doesn't make the change.  I've even tried using older restore points to no avail.  When right clicking in Thunar within the flash drive's storage space, the Create Folder, Create Document, and Paste options are grayed out.

I think I need some help cleaning up whatever mounts to sdb because I also created an sdb1 and I think that's just made things more messy.

Hi, have I been doing something wrong, or is this a general issue? I have been trying to purchase 2 LinuxLite case badges, but when I try to add to cart, it then directs me to what seems to be the paypal website in a new window, but the problem is that the web page is blank.  :-\ I've tried from my laptop, desktop and cellphone and the same issue persists (wow, I must be really eager to purchase the badges!)

1. Is this a general known issue? It happens at the point that items are added to cart, before any payment info is asked for.
2. Have I been doing the steps correctly? I went to this page: https://www.linuxliteos.com/shop.html and selected 2 case badges and clicked on the blue "Add to cart" button. That's when I get the new window and blank screen. If I have been doing it wrong, please tell me.

It seems this issue is specific to stickers/badges. If I test out the process with a T-shirt or coffee mug instead, it seems to direct properly to an online store.

Thanks so much for any info anyone can provide.

I'm getting 403 when trying to post on thread in Lite AV & PM to Jerry

Logged on this morning. Here's what I found.
Increased size in panel and icons.
Mouse not working. Switched it out. Note:Mouse works ok on different laptop.
No internet. Claims No network devices available. I'm working from different laptop.
    Obviously can't update till connection issue resolved.

Hello,
  I just chose a different theme for pointer, the black theme; and shut the pc down. Later when I turned it on, the mouse-pointer theme was sort of mixed up. In some areas it would be white and in some, black.
  Is it just me, or is it a bug?
Thanks.
