An introductory post-script:

One of the things I like about linux is it's maleability. You can make of it what you will.

And there is so much eye candy... Most of my recent activity has been motivated by my love of that eye candy - which, alas, knows no shame. And yes, I'm a packrat. I have accumulated a large collection of window, border, and icon themes to go with my wallpapers and boot splashes. Some of them I've tweaked and some of them I created.

Such a collection (I refer to it as 'my baggage') becomes a liability every time I indulge a fresh install. Multiply that by the number of computers in the household and I've got a bit of a chore to add my baggage to every one of them (of course!). Although the number of computers diminished from nine to four, the motivation to automate post-installs was still strong. With a fledgling knowledge of bash and with a few linux books and the internet by my side, I launched a lengthy experiment to see if I could build an ISO that would yield a working out-of-the-box installation - distro, my baggage, and all. I have had some success...

Unfortunately, as linux evolves, it is becoming quite a challenge to sustain a collection of beloved older themes. This presents me with a dilemma because I am reluctant to part with any of them. They're my toys. I select from them just as I do shirt, trousers, shoes, and tie. It's about choice and I've made it easy for myself.

It is only in the spirit of show-and-tell that I invite any interested person to check out my post-install LL transformation modifications by googling 'someubuntufreebies'.

Although everyone is inclined to tweak a fresh install with their own personal preferences, some might say that I got a little carried away with mine. But then linux is supposed to be fun. Right?

Unfortunately, I lack the skills to do more elegantly what I've done. And there are still a few theme flaws to fix someday. But I am generally pleased with the results. I drive it every day.

  Non-Live USB Installation
Posted by: mdredmond - 03-07-2017, 02:56 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi Folks,

I'm pretty new to Linux and know very little... I'd like to create a portable installation on a USB stick with a ability to boot to it from a variety of computers.  I know a live installation would be best for this but I'd prefer to do a regular installation.  Is it reasonable to expect such an installation would be widely compatible with most modern computers I might want to use (e.g., hotel business centers, etc.)?  Does LL autodetect hardware and have a local driver repository so it can pull drivers in as it boots?  I'm not looking for support for anything beyond a functional desktop with keyboard, mouse, basic display and (sort of important) whatever printer might be attached.

Thanks!

  Bluetooth and other unnecessary stuff
Posted by: crazysquirrel - 03-06-2017, 09:58 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

Most old laptops do not have bluetooth. You advertise that your OS is supposed to be geared toward them right? Then why have bluetooth and running when the laptop doesn't have it??
Haven't played with it much but I am sure there are other things.

  Printer icon missing?
Posted by: crazysquirrel - 03-06-2017, 09:56 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I see no printer icon to add printers. Hardware driver search shows no printer drivers either. It is an old HP all in one. Don't have that laptop or printer with me.

  Default browser
Posted by: jim217 - 03-06-2017, 07:50 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (15)

I have both the Firefox and Vivaldi browsers installed.
I mostly use the Vivaldi browser.

Every time I start the Vivaldi browser, it says that
Vivaldi is not the default browser and I click the
'Set as Default' button to make it the default.

If I close Vivaldi and restart it, again it is not the
default browser. When I close Vivaldi and start
lite tweaks to set the default browser, lite tweaks
shows Vivaldi is already the default browser.

If I close Vivaldi after making it the default
browser, and then start Firefox, Firefox's
settings shows that Firefox is the default browser.

This does not happen in another pc using
Linux Mint 18.1 xfce, so there must be something
in Linux Lite that is causing the default browser
to revert back to Firefox after closing Vivaldi.

Anyone have any idea ?

10 minutes into the film.....BSOD......Crashed.

Booted into Linuxlite 3.4 beta and enjoyed the rest of the movie.

Is Windows to remain a viable Operating System.....?.

Image I've attached shows my four computers and how I managed to share one keyboard and mouse with a 4 in 1 USB switch.  This 4 in one switch is available at Monoprice, Amazon, and other places.  Should be fairly easy to find.
