hey guys im back . after an lil stint in Debian my install crash and burn so i decide to jump back to Lite. but anyways i am working on an lil project and need some ideas. i am launching an Linux online magazine. i am currently looking forward on writing an article on this Distro, but right now i am trying to find if the mascot has an name if so what is it?  been trying to aim more to kids so i made it an funny Mafia Motif, where the Godfather of Linux is Debian and busgy character is Fedora. of course for those to i had to think of names.

First attempt at customising my Linux Lite 3.2 on my 2007 MacBook

Thought I should report this one.  I started 'system' > 'Lite Software' & noticed in the 'remove' section that it showed I had 'Skype'. I don't use it, so I thought I'd remove it. Highlighted 'Skype' & hit the 'remove' button. It returned an error message "Lite Software Error: - Unable to locate package skype-bin". I have no idea if Skype is installed by default in LL. I had never installed it if it wasn't. Hope this helps.

I have a windows 10 "Protab" tablet - do you think I could install Linux Lite on it?  Here are its specs:-

Micro-USB & MicroSD Input (Supports up to 32GB)
Android 5.0 Lollipop
Google Play Store
16GB Storage^ & 1GB RAM
Quad Core Processor
10" HD Touchscreen (1024 x 600)
0.3MP Front Camera
Bluetooth 4.0 Connectivity

I bought it on a whim because it was cheap but its going to waist sitting in a cupboard for the last 12 months.

I am just curious as to Why the programmers haven't included an ADD button to the desktop settings
window to be able to add your own wallpaper. I see that they are kept in the XFCE folder, but I am
setting up new people on the OS who will not want to be searching for this folder.

Please add a button in the desktop settings window.

[size=1em]Using Linux Lite 3.2 with a Canon MG5650 all single sided pages print perfectly as expected every time.[/size]

[size=1em]Duplex pages also printed perfectly as expected every time UNTIL VERY RECENTLY however, now whenever I try to print using duplex printing , the first page always starts printing 28mm higher up the page, therebye cutting off part of the document, regardles of what type of file is being printed. No settings have been changed in the printer configuration files although I have tried deleting and reinstalling the printer without any success.[/size]

[size=1em]As I said, both options worked perfectly up until very recently so I can only assume that one of the recent updates may have caused this issue but I am at a loss as to how to solve it and would very much appreciate any help that you guys might be able to offer [/size]

Please help me, I'm a newbie.  Upon trying to install the software. I'm able to select the language, presented two options to select updating and installing third party, but the third process  I receive an Install crashed message that follows  (no drive appears either):

I rarely have problems with Linux or Windows that I cannot solve myself, so this information is really just a heads up concerning Windows 10, openssh for Windows, and live Ubuntu bootrepair disks for those here who are not terminal people.

I have a full (developer mode) up to date Windows 10 with openssh installed dual booting with Linux Lite 3.2 (legacy) This machine had a beta copy of Linux Lite 3.0 64bit on it originally, as I generally use it for testing Linux alongside Windows 10. I installed Linux Lite 3.2 on it the other day removing the 3.0 beta installation entirely. Linux Lite 3.2 worked perfectly, but Windows 10 left me the dreaded BSOD 0xc000000e code. I repaired Windows via the Windows install disk, not noticing at first that now an entry for ssh_d server appeared on my Windows login screen which was not previously there. After repairing Windows 10 of course Linux Lite would not boot. I tried the live Ubuntu bootrepair disk, and it could not get Linux Lite to boot though Windows 10 still booted. I used a super grub 2 live disk then (Rescatux) and Linux Lite would once again boot, however Windows returned to the BSOD 0xc000000e code. To make a long story short at this point, I had to restore Windows 10 again from the Windows install disk, and afterwards uninstall openssh for Windows, after which the Ubuntu live boot repair disk worked. It seems that Ubuntu bootrepair expects UIDs and of course openssh server which is separately bootable from Windows 10 masks the UIDs with its own headers. The BIOS are set to ATA on this machine as well, and ATA in the advanced settings of Ubuntu boot repair did not work returning unknown device. The whole time, after several frustrating runs the grub menu remained, but only able to boot one OS or the other, never both. I am somewhat adept with Windows and at first used several different methods from Linux Lite to attempt the boot repair and file system checks, Gparted partition activation, ntfsfix, testdisk, etc. all to no avail. I was only able to get both systems booting again by uninstalling openssh from Windows 10 first.
