Greetings,

I have Power Broker Open installed on my LinuxLite machine for AD authentication.  When I go into User Manager, the Groups Menu ends with the group "List".  I am sure there are more after that but I can't get to them.  Any suggestions?

I've heard all the concerns from people about the way Linux Lite handles Grub, especially in respect to multi-booting with other operating systems.

First, let me reiterate that Linux Lite is targeted and Windows people first and foremost. I don't want people to infer from that, that I ignore or place little emphasis on other distros.
In Linux Lite 3.2 I'll default back to the way Grub handles other operating systems. I'm unsure of the outcome of this, and I'll revert back to placing Windows to the fore in 3.4 if it doesn't all work out. So in 3.2, LL should play nicely with other operating systems, time will tell. The Beta will be released in mid to late October. Linux Lite 3.2 will be released 1st November, 2016.

          To produce a remote version of our Linux Lite desktop on another Linux computer we are going to need to some kind of vnc server to our Linux Lite 3.0 system. In the past Ubuntu based distributions have used vino and a few others, several enabling various versions of Internet based softwares. We are going to download and install the powerful, versatile, and immensely configurable x11vnc server to our Linux Lite 3.0 computer, and use Remmina on our other Linux OS to get a fully functional Linux Lite 3.0 remote desktop. *Because we are going to use our now properly functioning ad hoc wifi to make the connection between the two computers, we are going to use a simple and powerful setup, but it’s important to remember to use an SSH tunnel if you are intending to send data over any broader easily reachable wifi public channels like your Internet access provider’s. We will cover that setup in another tutorial.
         
          Make sure you are connected to the Internet, and on your Linux Lite 3.0 computer click >Menu>System>Install/Remove Software to open >Synaptic. Authenticate and select >All from the left menu and wait for the package inventory to update. Type >x11vnc into the search box. From the files that appear select the package >x11vnc 0.9.13-1.2build1. Make sure the file numbers are correct, because if you have added Debian8 “jessie” repositories to Synaptic as I have you may get the wrong package listed. If that is the case for you click >Settings in the top toolbar, then >Repositories, then the >Other Software tab, and uncheck the Debian8 “jessie” repositories. Close Synaptic, and then reopen it and do your search query again and the correct x11vnc package will appear. Select the > x11vnc 0.9.13-1.2build1 package and click >Apply, agree to the dependencies and x11vnc will download and install to your Linux Lite 3.0 system. Log out and reboot your system.

          You will have to disconnect from the Internet for the next part of this tutorial so copy it and paste it to a Libreoffice document so you can review it as you go along.

          The x11vnc GUI tool kit we used so handily in Debian 8.3+ still does not entirely work with Linux Lite 3.0, so don’t bother clicking on the x11vnc Server icon now located at >Menu>Internet on your Linux Lite 3.0 desktop. Instead open a terminal and type in the following command as the syntax is expressed here:      x11vnc -once -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbport 5900 -shared    This will start the x11vnc server. Once it has started connect to your ad hoc wifi, and MINIMIZE the running terminal. DO NOT exit or close the terminal window as this will shut down the x11vnc server in Linux Lite 3.0. If you do accidentally close the terminal, simply re-open it and enter the above command again.

          The first link below provides an exhaustive list of current commands for x11vnc, and the second link contains Ubuntu documentation for using several different vnc servers, including x11vnc.

          Now go to the computer running the other Linux system you want to have your Linux Lite 3.0 remote desktop load to. Open Remmina. Click >Connection in the upper left window menu, then >New and the window entitled Remote Desktop Preferences will open. In the box to the right of >Name type your Linux Lite computer’s netBIOS name. (everything between @ and the colon: that appears in your command line in the terminal when you open it) Now in the box to the right of >Group type simply / a forward slash. Now in from the drop down menu in the box to the right of >Protocol select >VNC – Virtual Network Computing. Next in the box to the right of >Server type i/e 10.42.0.1:5900 (which should be whatever the IPv4 address of your Linux Lite 3.0 computer is on your ad hoc wifi network, plus the listening port definition of 5900. Leave the box to the right of >Repeater blank. In the box to the right of >User name type in your sudo Linux Lite user name. In the box to the right of >Password type in your Linux Lite sudo password. In the box to the right of >Color depth type click the drop down menu and try >High color 16bit first. You can experiment with color settings later on. With ad hoc wifi you shouldn’t need to worry about bandwidth so most of the better options will be available to you to experiment with later. In the box to the right of >Quality click the drop down menu and select >Poor (fastest). Again you can experiment with these settings after our first successful connection. Click next on the >SSH tab and make sure the box next to >Enable SSH tunnel is unchecked. Click the >Save button to save your connection.

          Now click on and connect to the ad hoc wifi we enabled previously and connect the two computers together via ad hoc wifi. Select and right click on your now listed new connection in the Remmina Remote Desktop Client window and from the >menu click connect. Your new Linux Lite 3.0 remote desktop should appear almost instantly on the desktop of your computer running the other Linux system.

        *Read This Note: You will notice if you are close enough that with our current settings the mouse movement occurs on the remote desktop and your Linux Lite desktop, and applications open and close at the same time as well. This is typical for Linux to Linux remote desktop connections, but it can be configured away with x11vnc commands and Remmina selections depending on the computers involved, the Linux distro involved, and the peripheral hardware involved. The basic setup we used here is just a beginning, but one that works most of the time, and obtains the unique security of an ad hoc connection.

Hi guys Im pretty new to thhis distro and I fell in love with it after a month.

Im not an experienced linux user and I learnt hard way why dd is refereed to as "disk destroyer'.....
My issue started,when I tried dd-ing an iso on ll3 and instead of sdb i set it to sda.
After hours of fails I managed to boot Lubuntu from my android and installed it.

Now every time I try to install LL3 I get the following message on starting live session from usb(and phone):

(initframs) mount: mounting /dev/loop1 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs failed: no usch device

After that If I type exit in busybox it will continue to setup and end up in kernel panic and just freeze.

Things I tried:
1.Re-downloading iso's  and checking md5sum (always the same md5)
2.Formating the usb to fat/fat32 and using Unetbootin (fails on initframs)
3.Trying to boot from Android (drivedroid app) (fails on initframs)
4.Disconnecting everything except ethernet,keyboard and usb (fails on initframs)
5.dd-ing it to usb (fails on initframs)
6.Trying 32bit (fails on initframs)
7.Changing usb's (fails on initframs)
8.Trying 2.8 (fails on initframs)
9. Using recommended gtk usb maker on both lite 3.0 and 2.8 (fails on initframs)

I had no issues before launching live session from usb,but since I dd my whole HDD I cant (Had to create all new partition table and whip it clean) .
I read that this usually happens when md5 is off,when usb is out of mem,when there isnt enough ram.... but everything is fine (I have a gig of ram,8gb usb,md5 is consistent...).
I managed even to live boot Kubuntu,but not Lite.....

Id really like if someone could help me out as this is by far the best "legacy" distro and I got used to it very much (kernel is a beauty)!

Hey i used to use windows but now i switched to linux i wonder how i can install my .exe hardware drivers specially graphic ones i tried wine but doesnt work setup is not launching i posted on game support board because the game is not working i had the same problem with this same game on windows but installing drivers fixed it thats why i am asking if there is anyway to install my .exe drivers

btw i installed the game through playonlinux

Hi all.


Finally got a system that duel boots.


First problem desktop Intel duel core thing with a Newmen km-300-k and as above problem with keyboard, have been trying different generic keyboards from the keyboard settings without solution.


Was able to fix same problem on a laptop ... found solution on the Ubuntu forums.


Thanks peoples.

hello everyone i just installed linux lite i am new i dont know anything except using firefox i tried to install tor browser and found this topic LINK i entered the code that guy gave in terminal then entered my password but i got this :

what i should do? correct me if i am doing something wrong thanks

After not be able to install 3.0 on one of my machines I decided to see how well it performs on a external hard drive

First I try installing 3.0 and for some reason when I installed Google Chrome and open it I have a line across the middle of the screen faded but I can see it odd

I didn't know what to make of it because I don't have issues like this on any other device. So I also install Chromium and had the same problem

I then decide to remove Lite 3.0 and install 2.8, no issues with using the Google Chrome browser of Chromium. Anyone have any idea's what might be the problem with 3.0? and Google Chrome and Chromium

Thanks so much for any help with this I would really like to install Lite 3.0 if I could

          This tutorial is specific to enabling a remote Linux Lite 3.0 Secure Shell on another wifi connected Linux computer utilizing Remmina. Remmina works well on most modern Debian based and/or Ubuntu based Linux distros. I will be using a Solydx laptop, a similar Debian based XFCE distro a little less hybrid and a little less compatible with Ubuntu than Linux Lite, but suitable for the purposes of this tutorial.

          To begin open a terminal in Linux Lite 3.0 and type- sudo systemctl start ssh -. Enter your password and ssh will start on Linux Lite. We will connect via ad hoc wifi the first time, so reset the firewalls on both machines as in our previous tutorial. Select and connect to the ad hoc wifi hosted network we set up in the last tutorial with your Linux Lite machine.

          Go to your other Linux computer, and if XFCE click >Menu>Internet>Remmina to open it. Click on >Connection at the top left of the window and from the drop down down menu select >New. A window will open entitled Remote Desktop Preferences. In the box next to >Name type in the the netbios name of your Linux Lite 3.0 computer (the one we will be connecting to). In the box next to >Group simply type in / a forward slash. In the box next to >Protocol click open the drop down menu and locate and click on >SSH Secure Shell. In the box next to >Server type in 10.42.0.1 i/e the ad hoc wifi IP address of you Linux Lite computer. Leave the >Character set and Startup program boxes blank for now. Type your Linux Lite sudo user name in the box next to >User name. Turn on the >Password radio button. Click the >Save button in the lower left corner of the window.

          Now click on your new SSH remote secure shell connection, and from the menu select >Connect. A remote desktop terminal shell will appear immediately reading at the first line >Welcome to Linux Lite 3.0 (listing after which kernel is in use by the Linux Lite system), a few lines below listing *Documentation, *Management, and *Support URLs. Next the number of available updates may be listed, and qualified as to security in the next line. The next line will usually be Last Login: with a date, and the IP address of the computer that logged in. Next will be the your Linux Lite command prompt now usable from your SSH connected other Linux machine as a secure shell remote terminal. To exit the shell type in >exit at the prompt and hit >enter. More networking power added.

how do I let my transparent terminal, some software ? version  linux lite 3.0
