Dedoimedo is conducting his annual best distro poll and I just placed my vote for Linux Lite.

Here's the link for those interested in participating:  http://poll.fm/5pv5e

Hi! If anyone can help me kindly do so.  I have a Epson L210 printer, that prints and scans ok in Window 7. My problem is when I tried and installed Linux Lite 3.2.  I am quite a familiar with Linux lite, Lubuntu, AntiX and some other Linux distros but I must say I am not an expert --more like a user I should say.  Anyway, I installed the linux (debian) drivers (inkjet driver and iscan bundle driver for scanner) of the aforementioned printer I got from Epson.  The printer driver works great, I can print.  Problem is the scanner.  Surfing the net I found an advice and did sane-find-scanner:

$ sane-find-scanner

(and this is the result):
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

could not open USB device 0x1d6b/0x0002 at 001:001: Access denied (insufficient permissions)
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x08a1 [EPSON L210 Series]) at libusb:002:002
could not open USB device 0x1d6b/0x0001 at 002:001: Access denied (insufficient permissions)
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

  # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
  # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
  # necessary.

I connected this printer/scanner on two desktops, one running Linux Lite 3.2 and the other Lubuntu 16.04 (LTS) and the scanner drivers did not work on both machines. 

I have already downloaded the latest driver iscan-bundle-1.0.2.x86.deb.tar.gz (32bit) which has:
    1. core (iscan.2.30.2-2_i386.deb)
    2. data (iscan-data_1.37.0-3_all.deb)
    3. plugin (iscan-network-nt_1.1.1-1_i386.deb)

And yes I already read the links (http://askubuntu.com/questions/783227/ho...ubtu-16-04 and http://askubuntu.com/questions/724323/ho...10-scanner) and have followed the instructions on how to install (./install.sh in terminal) but the scanner still didn't do anything when I opened ImageScan for Linux.

Like I said earlier, I am not an expert on Linux so I am quite confused what is that I did wrong.  Anyone who wants to help me I'd be grateful. 

At the risk of being accused of fear mongering, I will post this caution anyway particularly since I happen to like Chromium. It is a recent warning.

Hello, this is my 2nd post here...
I have tried connecting my LG V20 phone to the computer in attempt to transfer photos to my OS.
But when the file manager loads after clicking on the phone icon, the proper folders come up and I
go into the internal folder and then click on the Camera folder where the photos would be stored. But
then all of a sudden, everytime, it comes back with FAILED TO MOUNT LG. What?? I was just in it!!

How do I transfer photos from my phone to this OS? Haven't had an issue for over a year with other
distros. Why this one?

Hi, this is my first post here... I just installed this distro a few days ago and am loving it, so far. But I have a few concerns which I will address in various posts.

I'm just curious since I found KDEConnect in the synaptic software manager... is there ANY way to get it to work in Linux Lite even though this is not a KDE distro?

It would be so great if this would work! I usually run KDE OS's and already I miss this feature. But the Linux Lite distro out of MANY is one that is the least problematic
running on my system, even though my system isn't THAT old.

Any ideas on how to get KDEConnect to run on this distro... again, would be great!

I'd like to dual boot Linux Lite 3.2 on my new MacBookPro, which uses EFI (and doesn't seem to have a "legacy bios"). Has anyone done this before? Can anyone give me some advice on getting LL setup, I read in various posts that the EFI can cause install issues.

So far I have set the machine up using this tutorial:

http://www.howtogeek.com/187410/how-to-i...-on-a-mac/

but have yet to attempt a LL install. Just wanted to know if I was in for trouble or not...

For the past few days I've been getting errors when installing software. Something about root privileges. In each case, though, the software seems to install ok anyway.

The next time you get an updated package for the Help Manual, there will be a new and important tutorial covered - Setting a Restore Point using Systemback. This will also appear in the 3.4 Lite Welcome as one of the first 3 things you should do after Install Updates and Install Drivers from a fresh install.

Got a call from a friend this morning running linuxlite 2.8x64.

The chrome browser was frozen with ransomeware.

He told me openly he had been at some "Adult Sites"

He does not have sudo access to the system...Only I have.

First thought was to remove chrome and re-install the browser.

Decided in the end to reformat and install Linuxlite 3.2

Not something you see every Day.

Recently got this on e.bay for cleaning.

Not cheap......nearly £40.

Certainly does the job very well
