Looking at this video today reminded me that I'd like to have color in the terminal prompt.  It adds some contrast.

I'm a fan of Tux.  Friendly, approachable, yet somehow crisp and computer-y.  I think all Linux distros should, as a matter of branding, have him in their logos or icons.  Different distros would have him in different situations, holding different tools, doing different things, wearing different accessories, etc.  Or at the very least have the distro logo on his belly like a Care Bear.

Here's a link to an image I threw together of Tux sitting on the Linux Lite feather.  In it, Tux is apparently so light the feather can support him as it floats about.  What better way to convey not merely that this OS is light, as the feather on its own does, but also that this is a version of Linux, specifically, that is light?

Sorry to Jerry if this is sacrilege...

Hi

I followed the steps in Help Guide and stopped in this point.

This is my original fstab


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=3675cb98-88ea-4020-aa45-03f6f2cd64c3 /              ext4    errors=remount-ro 0      1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=96b87783-47cb-4268-b3a2-0e5d63e770a6 none            swap    sw              0      0



After including noatime, :


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>

UUID=3675cb98-88ea-4020-aa45-03f6f2cd64c3 /              ext4    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0      1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=96b87783-47cb-4268-b3a2-0e5d63e770a6 none            swap    sw              0      0



because my ssd only have / partition, my edited rc.local file should be:



#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

LOG=/var/log/trim.log
echo “*** $(date -R) ***” >> $LOG
fstrim -v / >> $LOG
echo " " >> $LOG

exit 0

Or should I keep the original rc.local file containing /boot and /home? I’m not sure


Thanks for help

Could Etcher be included in lite software.....?.

Just a thought.

I have just run the upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 - there were several System Program failures and at the end a screen showed that the upgrade had failed. However the system is indeed 16.04.1 LTS even though several packages were missing (Gparted, Pulse Audio, etc)
But at the first attempt to boot up the system I enter my password and nothing happens -  simply the "Logging in ..." mention.

How can I break into a terminal from this screen? Or force the system into some sort of life. All the alternative boot entries are 16.04.1 so I can't go back to 14.04.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have recently installed LL 3.0 on my family's Dell Precision M70 laptop (Intel Pentium M 740) which contains a Quadro FX Go 1440 nvidia card and with the install of latest legacy binary drivers (304...) through install drivers menu I have the option to use the preferred 1440x900 resolution instead of the 1920x1200 which just looks way too small on the screen.  However my issue is that it does not actually set it to 1440x900 where the screen fits the resolution.  Rather it seems the OS is still fully at 1920x1200 but shows only 1440x900 portion of it with the mouse scrolling the rest of the screen as it reaches the edge.  How do I solve this so that the resolution is *actually* 1440x900 without scrolling the screen?

Hi, I installed Linux Lite 3.0 x64 and I wanted to change the language of this guide https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#setlang
Unfortunately, after do all the steps and log out, still is English. Please, help me.

[size=1em]Have just set up LL3.0 on my sister's Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 - I've got a problem with the screen brightness control - the Fn key combinations for changing screen brightness (in a continuous fashion) are not working, i.e. Fn+F6, decrease; Fn+F7, increase brightness.[/size]

[size=1em]In an attempt to fix this I did the following, in the terminal, using gksudo leafpad /etc/default/grub: [/size]
[size=1em]changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"[/size]
[size=1em]to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi="
[/size]
[size=1em]This didn't work so the next thing I tried was...
[/size]
[size=1em]changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [/size]
[size=1em]to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor[/size]"

[size=1em]This didn't work either.

I'd be grateful for any help on this, as full-screen brightness can be really tiring in the evening, as you know only too well, and the f.lux app (f.lux alters the quality & intensity of the PC screen's backlighting as a function of the time of day), which I use routinely on my setups, doesn't seem to function - I assume this is related to the screen brightness problem.[/size]

[size=1em]Thanks in advance for any help on this one...[/size][size=1em]

Found out this in latest 3.0 (this issue didn't exist in 2. 8)

I have a NUC with a HDMI screen connected.
Everytime I turn it off or I switch input, or the HDMI cable gets unplugged, it seems that X disables itself (HDMI: No input signal), even when reconnecting or turning on monitor, or switching back.
Only way to recover is to CTRL+ALT+F1, log in, and then "startx".
