Is there a quick and easy way to add borders to windows - things can get confusing when windows have content of the same colour.
The Help Manual provides instruction for using dd to 'burn' the Linux Lite ISO to a USB stick. I think, perhaps, that most folks reading this in the manual are already using Linux Lite. But, irregardless, I submit that using UNetbootin to accomplish this is better.
Why?
When UNetbootin is used to burn the ISO, it leaves the USB stick completely writable.
This is very advantageous.
For example, such a stick allows me to not only carry my installer wherever I go, but also carry a large media collection, a bunch of ISOs, VM appliances, and my encrypted personal files, email and bookmarks with me as well! With it, I can not only install an OS on a new computer but also conveniently restore onto it all of my 'baggage'. I use backup scripts to keep this content on the stick updated at regular intervals.
And whenever I want to update the stick with a new version of the OS, I don't have to re-format it. That is because I created on it a few folders into which I copied all of my baggage. So all I have to do is delete everything on the stick EXCEPT those folders. I can then use UNetbootin to burn a newer ISO onto the stick. I've been doing this now for quite some time without problem.
UNetbootin requires that the stick be prepared with standard FAT formatting. But this need be done only once.
The only thing that annoys me about the app is that the post-burn boot menu title is UNetbootin. However, due to the writability, this is easily rectified by editing the third line of syslinux.cfg on the stick to change 'UNetbootin' to something like 'Welcome to Linux Lite 3.2 64bit'. I have a item in my menu that does this for me, but it isn't much trouble to do it manually via leafpad in Thunar.
Consequently, it is not a waste of USB stick real estate to burn an ISO to a very large USB stick.
I have seen nothing about this use case on the Internet. I suggest that it might benefit some Help Manual readers to know about the advantages of UNetbootin used as an alternative to the dd method. And perhaps they should also know that this use case does not provide persistence for the installable OS.
Just come back to my laptop after installing 3.4 and completing stage 1 - Install Updates to find an error 1 message. At the bottom of llupdate.log are the seemingly only lines that refer to an error and they say:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-66-generic_4.4.0-66.87_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Is this serious? It's all Greek/Sesuto/Ukranian to me.
Comment is:
The otherwise helpful opening screen that tells of these three install steps is not persistent and could not be easily restarted after this problem. Is it designed to halt all activity until this error resolved or did it just sort of ...happen... dunno why?
I am itching to see if my 2005 Satellite Pro will run this distro - it's grown glacial, even on XP.:-(
anyone watch Linux action show or Unplugged?

I'm recommending a Wifi USB adapter for Series 3.x to a client in the USA.
Can someone please tell me what Wifi USB adapter for Series 3.x they have that works out of the box?
Thank you,
Jerry
They're creating a lightweight version of Zorin based on XFCE and deliberately using the spelling 'Lite'.
Thoughts on this?

Well it's said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Here's Linux Lite/LXDE, I have not tried it personally. What do you think?

[size=1em]Hi [/size]
[size=1em]Now that Linux Lite is utilizing Conky for its Lite Widget even more users might get interested in this handy system monitoring tool.[/size]
[size=1em]I just discovered one of the best manuals I've seen in many, many years using and tweaking Conky:[/size]
[size=1em]Casey's Conky Reference with Examples[/size]
[size=1em]Especially the last section Conky Tips and Tricks caught my attention.[/size]
[size=1em]Hopefully it might be useful to some of you [/size]

Hello everyone
I'm relatively new to Linux Lite. I have been running an old version (1.06?) for a couple of years with no issues, but I wanted to take advantage of version 3.2 and upgrade. I made a Live USB using Start Up Disk Creator with no problem. But when I run it, I get this message " vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image". If I press TAB, I get no menu options. If I type "live" I get this result "live xforcevesa check memtest hd restart".
So I'm stumped. I searched and found no solution that works. Before I give up in frustration, I am looking for guidance from the forum. My system info file is attached.
Please help, Javier
