After having rsync'd and deleted the original /home folder, I did not find the new copy. If Puppy Linux live CDs automatically mount fstab, this could have been the problem.

I am on the Linux Lite live DVD at the moment of posting this. Will its default settings work for copying over?

Salutations to the community, and thank you for this free, lightweight treasure of an Ubuntu distro. I would have have more to say if the page did not refresh. Anyway, thank you again!

Since the release of Lite 3.2, I can't seem to upgrade or install anything at all. Some error while upgrading lite-software seems to be stopping it.

I'm still using 3.0 because I can't upgrade anything. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to move the widget to the left side of the desktop? Variety desktop displays pics and quotes, interfers with quotes. Thanks. bb

Interesting little quirk in the behavior of the new widget. When I open up XFCE4 terminal, Logged in as: reads trinidadtrinidad in the widget. When I exit the terminal it reverts back to the single entry - trinidad. Does not do this with LX terminal, or ROX terminal, only XFCE4 terminal. Not sure why yet.

Wow just tried it again, opened three XFCE4 terminals and got: trinidadtrinidadtrinidadtrinidad.

Also does it with UX terminal, and X terminal. Tried changing defaults but makes no difference.

Hi
Yesterday I tested LINUX LITE on my 10 years old Acer laptop. It looked great and worked free of problems but after the installation I realized that the screen resolution is 640x480, I didnt find a way to change it.
Does anybody have a solution or an idea how to fix it?

I have installed Linux Lite 3.2 64-bit from a clean slate on my antiquated laptop (see my stats :-) ). All times are measured from the beginning of the boot from the LL3.2 USB drive.

26:42 - Full base install - installed to HD, first boot completed.

51:17 - Updates and Upgrade completed.

1:28:41 - EVERYTHING I need is installed - QupZilla, Pinta, Restricted Extras, DropBox, DropBox tray icon fix, and all the software, fonts, etc. for full Hebrew functionality in LibreOffice - plus all my desired tweaks (icons, windows, fonts etc.).

I have a work-ready laptop within an hour and a half! With very simple installation. In Windows 7, this process might take over 24 hours, most of which due to the horrible Windows Update system.

No need for a external keyboard anymore. My P,L,M keys now work on the netbook keyboard.

Notice no /swap partition on here. I have 2 gig of ram on this touchscreen. Touch screen works by the way. I am using the onboard keyboard on it. You can see the executable in my inxi readout above under which onboard command.

Reason for this install is. I needed a small netbook for my motorcyle saddlebags that would interface with my Samsung S7 Edge Android 6 Marshmellow phone. Which LL 3.2 does when I turn on MTP share on my phone under developer tools and usb tether on. I already loaded up all my mp3 and Iphone 5S (already sold)  pictures from my old phone through to the new phone using LL.

LL= Linux-Lite

Hint for 1024X600 netbook users. Alt+left mouse click is your friend when needing to grab a window for a open gtk window and move it up to get to a button not seen yet on the bottom.



Fresh install was done this evening.
llver fix done as Jerry suggested here

Mods. If the thread needs to be moved. Okey dokey then.

Yesterday I have installed 3.2 for the first time and today I've tried out the new widget.

Issues (see screenshot):

1) This is obviously Linux Lite 3.2 - as 3.0 lacks the widget - yet the widget shows "Linux Lite 3.0".

2) The Hebrew text in the date is in the wrong direction.

3) Not an issue, but I think it would be nifty to be able to launch the update tool directly from the widget's "update" part.

The first sentence in the second paragraph of the Welcome Screen text has some errors, mainly in punctuation.

Currently it reads:

"Linux Lite aims to provide each user with a basic collection of everyday tools, a web browser, email client, media player an Office suite an image editor and so on."

It should read:

"Linux Lite aims to provide each user with a basic collection of everyday tools: a web browser, an email client, a media player, an office suite, an image editor, and so on."

The most important changes are the colon after "tools" (signifying a list to follow), the addition of a comma after "media player", and adding consistency to the issue of whether to have an indefinite article ("a" /  "an") in front of each list item.

A bit more debatable is the question of whether to capitalize the word "office" - in the replacement text I provide above I removed it because the phrase "office suite" is not a proper noun the way "Microsoft Office" or "GNOME Office" is.  (LibreOffice is not a phrase, just a single word in camelcase.) 

More debatable (and in fact divisive among grammar nerds) is the issue of the serial comma: whether to have a comma after the second-to-last item in a list of three or more; the item just before the "and" (or sometimes "or").  The majority of official style guides (including MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, Strunk & White, and APA) say to include that comma, so I added it in my replacement text above (where it comes after "image editor").

While I can post suggestions, I don't know how actually to fix the Welcome Screen text myself, so I invite and request whoever can to do so.
