how to install the printer software on linux lite?
I have old PC in my room and it running Windows XP Pro edition is not greats to do like watching video and etc. This PC is from my Father that he buy in 2002 or so. It made in japan and still in good quality. So i decide to use this PC for my main NAS network and trying to get faster os that availble. I try many thing and it not good and it not so bad. Usualy i get lag when trying connect to internet this pc will start to slow down. Navigate to folder will take 5sec to 6sec.
Then i founds Linux Lite OS, First design similar like Linux Mint i trught i will get same result like last time i try. Then it turn out to be "WOW!" It runing like a boss. Boots very fast. Take about 8sec to 9 sec. This old PC from 2002 or so and i try ubuntu it take 18 sec to 22 sec. same result with Windows XP. I'm so happy that i download this OS.
After install i saw all application that i need is availble in this OS. VLC Player, Libra Office, GParted, Gimp and etc.
That is my review/feedback for this OS.
I give 4.8/5 for my personal opnion.
Just install Linux Lite OS 3.x, Nice to be here. ;D
I've made three unsuccessful attempts to install the driver nvidia-361.42 in Linux 3.0 from the Install Drivers GUI. It just occurred to me that nvidia-361 might not be compatible with the kernel 4.4.0-34-generic which is in LL3.0 - is this the case?
If there is an incompatibility issue, could someone tell me which nvidia drivers are compatible with this kernel.
Many thanks
Mike
Hellow all,
I need some help about the installer of league of legends wich is not working properly on playonlinux! When i start to install proccess it is freezing only on loading screen to the next steps for installing! If someone have the same issue i will be greatfull of all support tips! Thank in advance for solution! Peace! 
Hello I'm currently running Linux lite 2.8 which is doing very well, I have try to install 3.0 with no luck is there anyway for me to upgrade using the terminal if so how would I proceed with the upgrade
Thanks so much
Following installation of LL3.0 in set-up (1) in signature below, I clicked on Install Drivers to update the video card from the existing 'Nouveau display driver' to 'Nvidia driver version 361.42 from nvidia-361 (proprietary, tested)'.
However the progress bar under Install Drivers hung indefinitely at four-fifths completion. I restarted the PC, and then went to open Synaptic Package Manager. However this would not open properly and I got the screen message that I should run the following command:
sudo dpkg --configure -aI ran this & got the following output from terminal:
mike@mike-G750JS:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Building only for 4.4.0-34-generic

Building initial module for 4.4.0-34-genericThe process appears to have hung indefinitely on the last line, i.e. Building initial module for 4.4.0-34-generic (i.e. left to run overnight, still the same in the morning). One consequence of this appears to be that I'm blocked from accessing Synaptic Package Manager, Lite Software, can't fetch package information lists, and the PC hangs at shutdown...
How do I fix this?

Tips For Using The Samba And Remmina rdp Setup, Adding Double Commander to Linux Lite
Today I am going to briefly reiterate setting up Samba to have administrative access to your Windows 10 home computer from Linux Lite, as I realized I never really completely posted on the subject. Basically follow the Linux Lite help manual exactly, and go ahead and add a share folder, which we can use for later setups, but won’t need for this setup. Make workgroup = Homegroup. *Make sure the administrative account you intend to use on your Windows 10 box is added to homegroup. Make sure to allow network discovery and all file sharing in Windows 10 homegroup in the private network tab.
If you have all that done, (check back through the rdp tutorial for share settings in windows) when you open Thunar for the first time, click the >Browse Network tab on the lower left panel. Do not click the >Windows Network icon. Backspace out the address bar instead, and type in smb:// “the IP address of your Windows 10 computer”, and hit enter. When prompted for the user name and password, backspace out your Linux Lite samba user name, and type in the administrative account user name on your windows 10 computer that you previously added to homegroup. Leave homegroup listed as is and add the password and hit enter. Select >Users from the files that appear, and repeat the same process as above when prompted for user name and password hitting enter again. Open the user name that matches the one you logged in as. All your windows files should be there now. If this doesn’t work review the Windows 10 setup, (check back through the rdp tutorial for share settings in windows).
Installing Double Commander in Linux Lite
Open Synaptic in Linux Lite >Menu>System>Install and Remove Software. Set to >All in the left menu. Type “double commander” in the search box. Mark the GTK2 double commander package for installation. Agree to mark the dependencies. Click >Apply from the upper menu bar, and double commander will install. Log out and reboot your computer.
Open Thunar as above loading your Windows files. Close Thunar leaving the Windows drive mounted. Open your Windows 10 remote desktop with Remmina. Open its Double Commander setting the left pane to drive C: and the right pane to drive L:. Now open Double Commander on a second desktop in Linux Lite so you can switch back and forth. Be patient it may take ten seconds or so to load the first time. Set the left hand pane to your home directory, the second symbol to the left of the little arrow in the upper right of the pane “~”. In the right pane click >gvfs. Click the directory entry that appears and reads something like “samba server with your Windows 10 computer’s IP address”, not the Workgroup directory. Your Windows 10 file system will open for navigation. Now switch back to your remote desktop and drag and drop a Linux file into Windows (L: drive to C: drive, right to left pane) from the Linux Lite 3.0 partition that dual boots with Windows 10. Pick a document or png the first time to test. Now switch back to your Linux Lite desktop and drag the same file from Windows 10 (the gvfs pane) into your Linux Lite home directory and open it to test it. With appropriate editors and applications you can now move and work on files from all three systems with ease.

Hi again,
I come with one more request for help. I edited the grub and now the pc won't show the grub loader where i could chose the OS. Here are the lines i remember editing ....
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0.0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0.0I have a dual boot of windows 10 and LL3 and would like to hide the grub loader until i activate it myself (otherwise boot straight to windows) since im not the only one using this pc. Holding down shift key doesn't seem to help, what am i doing wrong? http://askubuntu.com/questions/117525/hi...his-happen
I am feeling more confident now in moving away from a Win/LL dual-boot to an LL only PC. However, I wont ditch Windows OS totally, but will keep it in a virtual machine for some of those things that are still a bit difficult to do in Linux generally.
With the above in mind, I thought I would replace the Win8.1/LL2.8 dual-boot, already installed on one of my 250GB Samsung 850 EVO solid state drives, with LL3.0 only.
Before, installation I made sure the PC was in Legacy/CSM mode and once I was in the LL3.0 live environment (using a DVD) I opened gparted to wipe the drive clean and ensure I had a GPT formatted SSD.
Once that was done I executed LL3.0 installation, allocating 15MB for Bios-grub, 30GB for /, and 50GB for /home. All went very smoothly, as expected, until I rebooted. On rebooting, the PC did not boot into LL but instead I got a black screen with the following message in white letters:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
Following this message, I went into PC Settings and noticed that the line "PO: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB" does not appear in the boot list. Furthermore, there appears to be no option to add this to the boot list. I don't know what to do next.. I'd be grateful for any help/advice.
Just for the record, I'm using laptop (1) - see signature below.
Many thanks for any help - I'm beginning to pull my hair out with this seemingly intractable problem... :-[
Cheers
Mike
