Interested to hear the communities thoughts on this application. One application that handles both email and all the popular messaging apps.





Rambox is a free messaging and emailing app created using Electron which is composed of various popular web applications to provide users with the ability to add as many web services as are supported in the same place and to use multiple accounts by way of duplicate apps.

It has a simple bright interface with a tabs bar at the top of its UI to which added apps can be aligned either to the left or to the right. It comes with a handful of customization options including show notifications, mute all sounds, display read counter.

Linux Lite Updates couldn't fetch the package cache information lists.

Cannot check for updates!

I recently changed from Linux Mint to Linux Lite, installing from a 3.0 CD/DVD I had lying around. I installed it and did the updates and upgrade, so I now have LL 3.2. That's not the problem.

The problem I'm having is that I get the XFCE desktop and panel. I want to get the Linux Lite desktop and panel (like I saw on the desktop when I did the initial install). I'm not seeing the option on how to do that in any of the menus (or I saw it and didn't recognize it).

Help please.

I've tried to update software, but Linux answers that I've not the rights to update the software.

Good afternoon

I have a problem with Deluge. I got it. I downloaded a couple of things and now it gives me error in all the files that I put. What happen?

Thank you

Hello, I love Linux Lite a lot, but unfortunately Kodi is not working well for me on this OS. It is working flawlessly on Debian Jessie on the same computer. I tried version 15.2 of Kodi from the lite software, the 17 and 16.1, but all have the same issue with some addons, mainly Sports Devil and Pro Sports. Error messages using these addons or kodi crashing. It's a deal breaker for me if there's no solution, I'll have to go back to Debian Jessie. Can someone help me?

Thinking about this today & got a little curious about something. The last 2 remaining supported distro's from Linux Lite Series One are 1.0.6, & 1.0.8. As next month is April, 2017 & Linux Lite Series One was based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, does anyone know what day in April the OS reaches end of life? Jerry usually releases his distro's on the 1st, so I'm wondering if they reach EOL on the 1st? Just for the record, Ubuntu 12.04 reaches EOL on April 26th. I booted up 1.0.6 on a USB flash drive to see if the information was there. I was hoping entering 'ubuntu-support-status' in terminal would help. Got some real interesting information, just not what I was looking for. I was surprised to see that a small percentage of the OS is supported until 2018. Not the whole OS, just part. It was a great series, sorry to see it go.

I installed LL 3.2 on a couple of units, and for a change I set the user to log in automatically. But now every time I open Chromium I get queried for the keyring password. I've read that this is because the manual log in satisfies that requirement, but the automatic does not. So now I'm looking for how to change the log in to manual, but so far I haven't found it. Any light would be appreciated.

Hello,

I am currently volunteering for a charity which refurbishes computers for sale as well as recycling unusable parts. As part of the service, we tend to install Linux on machines we sell, and we've found that Linux Lite is an excellent choice, both due to it's ease of use and it's attractive yet lightweight desktop environment, suitable for older hardware.

So far, we've been installing systems with a default username and password, and providing customers with instructions on how to change the details themselves when they get the computer home. Ideally what I’d like to implement is a system where, upon the first start up post install, the computer will ask them for their desired username and password, bypassing the need for them to change it themselves.

I know that some distros offer an OEM install solution which sounds like what I’m after. Does Linux Lite offer, or plan to offer, anything similar?

Congrats again on an excellent distro for beginners, and on your slick modifications to XFCE.
