  suggestion: replace KeePassX with KeePass2
Posted by: LL-user - 07-23-2016, 03:37 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

Hi,

I'd like to suggest to replace the currently via Lite Software offered Password Manager KeePassX with the original KeePass2.

Reasons:

  1. KeePass2 is by far more familiar to Windows users. It is even used in professional IT environments.

  2. KeePass2 offers a lot more features than KeePassX and can for example be integrated with Firefox via KeeFox.

  3. KeePass2 can also be easily installed, especially by using the ppa to stay updated.
Thanks for your consideration Smile

  Posting in the correct Support section of the Forums
Posted by: valtam - 07-23-2016, 02:16 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (14)

Folks, we are getting a lot of people posting Support requests in the wrong section of the Forums. This is creating a lot of unnecessary work for the Moderators and encouraging bad habits. We can no longer be expected to move Topics when they are in the wrong section, unless they are already in a Support section, but under the wrong sub forum. From now on Support requests that are not posted in the correct Support section in the Forums will be locked, eg. if you post a Support request in On Topic or Introductions, the thread will be locked. I know this will be perceived by some as a tough measure, but one cannot expect the Mods to be enthusiastic about their role when this continues.

Correct Forum sections to post in for Support.

  Lock Screen Pass;?
Posted by: bigskill - 07-22-2016, 10:07 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Newby question.
If my screen saver or desktop goes into lock screen, I can not get out of it.
It asks for password, I use the same password as login or system update but get invalid/wrong password.
Is there somewhere that has a password I never set ?
How do I change/reset it?

TIA

  LL 3.0 Window Resizing
Posted by: Xorcist - 07-22-2016, 08:12 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

This isn't really a support question, but more a general question why... Windows appear to only re-sizable via the window header, this is different than it was in LL 2.8 (I could grab a lower corner and stretch a window down, now I can't, I can only grab upper corners). Is there are reason for this change?

  Is there a way to set the login wallpaper, separate from the desktop wallpaper?
Posted by: Xorcist - 07-22-2016, 07:20 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Question is in the subject. I'm trying to find a way to set a different wallpaper for my login screen vs my desktop.

UPDATE: I figured it out, Settings -> Setting Manager -> System -> LightDM GTK+ Greeter Settings

  Shotwell problem in 3.0
Posted by: Coastie - 07-22-2016, 06:04 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

I think Shotwell was in 2.8 Lite Software. Anyway it worked in 2.8. It is not in 3.0 so I installed it with Synaptic. It could not view the pictures from my camera although Thunar loaded them as png. Neither could Gimp, Ristretto , etc.  ???

Does anyone know what would cause this? Any recommendation for a photo organizer for LL 3.0?

  Install LL 3.0 vs Ubuntu upgrade 14.04 to 16.04
Posted by: humdinger70 - 07-22-2016, 06:26 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

A couple of days ago, I received the DVD with LL 3.0 on it. Today Ubuntu announced the release of the first point upgrade of 16.04 (16.04.1). This is the point upgrade that allows a direct upgrade of Ubuntu 14.04 (which I have kept updated) to 16.04.

Which is actually preferable to do? Install or upgrade? FYI, nothing critical on the Ubuntu box.

  Microphone not working in Skype
Posted by: mandoran - 07-21-2016, 09:26 AM - Forum: Sound - Replies (14)

I have a good set of new headphones plugged into the LL desktop, but despite research, I cannot get the microphone to record, I cannot be heard, in Skype.


I have digested this thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?...ost9307284
which was advised in a similar circumstance, but despite everything appearing to be detected, nothing comes out of the mic.


How can I fix this?

  German Wikipedia - Keyboard shortcuts
Posted by: JohnD - 07-21-2016, 07:36 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I'm preparing a German Wikipedia article about Linux Lite. Therefore I wonder, if the keyboard shortcuts in the GUI are common in a special GUI under Linux or if they are distinctive only for Linux Lite.

    Ctrl+Alt+T - opens a terminal.
    Ctrl+Alt+Del - opens the logout dialogue.
    Ctrl+Shift+Esc - opens the Task Manager.
    Windows key - opens the Menu.
    Windows key+H - opens your home folder.
    Windows key+L - locks the screen.
    Alt+F2 - opens the Application Finder dialogue box.
    Printscreen key - opens the screenshot program.
