Hello to all!

I have installed ffmpeg plugin,but Clementine won't read ape files. Please help! Thank you!

installed Minecraft and got it running just fine. Was able to place the .jar file on the desktop, make it executable, and it opens the game just fine on double-click. I would like to know is there any way that I can change the icon for minecraft.jar and put some other pic instead eg. a small jpeg or png downloaded from the net? LinuxLite 3.0. Thanks in advance

Hi i been trying to install 3.0    ll3.0 crash at the end of the installation, I have downloaded the 3.0 multiple times using different usb.stickor and tried on different computers both 32 & 64 bit versions even tryed english during install
I have installed previous versions many times  started with Linux  1:02 to 2.6 the first  comp i tryed 3.0 crashed so I  install 2.6  worked fine
I have read in other threads here but the proposals I found did not help.
  is there a new upgrades soon, or what do you Propose.

I am neonred.  There was a time that I developed customized version of windows and shared it with others, and it gained immense popularity.
About 2 years ago, I told myself what's the point windows a piece of junk/spyware.
I've been back and forth mostly due to the gaming situation on linux and because I don't like dual booting, affects system configuration stability.
So for the past year, I have been using linux lite 2.8 and past 2 months linux lite 3.0, and I couldn't be happier.  No better distro to use or to learn from. 
I'm going to attach my sysctl.conf file, it gives you that extra cushion of security after you setup the firewall in as little as one command.
It goes in /etc/, rename to sysctl.conf, sudo Thunar, replace existing one, do a reboot and you are protected. Figured new users could use it.  The last line in the file is of a recent exploit to prevent a man in the middle attack.  In general, I will be lending a hand in the forum as I am starting to feel indebted to such an awsome OS as I am gaining much confidence and learning much. 

Many thanks to the community and developers for another suburb release.
Linux lite shines linux in the best light; what more could you ask for.
Just a joy to use, and even bigger joy to fix.
I love it.

I installed LL3.0 32 on this laptop and I cant seem to figure out how to keep the sound from switching between headphones and speakers
making an annoying crackling noise
it has to be a setting or something that is wrong does not do it on mint LMDE
Does it on mint LMDE2.
I have looked for the problem on the Internet and there are some Ubuntu posts but they dont seem to apply to LL3.0 I assume due to the difference in packages. I am a LL user now and don't want to use any other distro as i am now comfortable with it. suggestions on how to fix it.

I found these old post from 2011 about the problem so it is a known issue that must have been fixed in earlier distros just cant figure out how to do it in LL3.023bit

Continuous switching between speakers and headphones in sound settings

Hello - Thx for the top Jerry, I didn't realise I'd posted it incorrectly - Thx for the tip.

So, here goes:

Hi, I've slowly moved up from 2.6 on 2 notebooks and 2.8 on this Presario 2100 with 1gb Ram. 2.8 had what I consider a normal boot time - LL3 on the Presario takes aprox 15 minutes. It only has USB 1, which I used Kplop to boot up from - I can't get my USB2 PCAMIA slots to boot even with plop for that. I've got LL3 on a 32gb stick & 8gb stick to trial it on the notebooks and it's fine on those.

Here's my system report: (I've also carried out a full system report - showing the innards of this machine, but that's 52 pages long!

Any ideas?

Thx for your time. Iestyn

Hi all. First of all, kudos to Jerry Benzecon and his mates : LL3 is a damn good & useful OS. I discovered LL with the 2.4 release and never switched to another distro. As many LL users, I come from the MS world (former Windows IT system engineer), but was immediately seduced by LL for home use : the ergonomic, the ease of configuration, the sames apps I used to install on my Windows at home, the interoperability with MS systems/infra, lightweight, stable, fast... Well I love it. This had to be said :-)

I am newbie in gnu or unix systems in general, and i have a couple of questions that may seem stupid to you guys, but I cannot get a very firm answer on the web and I would like your opinion:
1- Except for recent hardware support and security matters (which are very good reasons) is it worthy to try to upgrade to the latest available kernel ?
2 - If I do this is what will be the impact on the specific Linux Lite layers of the system ? I am almost sure that I would have to deal with some bugs but will it also deprecate some functionalities / user experience implemented for LL when using this new kernel ? More globally is it a good idea ?

Thx!

I don't know very much about kernels so would appreciate some advice.  I have LL2.8 and it has the kernel version 3.13.0-92-generic installed. Is there any advantage to be gained in upgrading it to the 4.4 kernel series?

Thanks for any feedback.

Cheers
Mike

In June I have written to two German magazins about Linux , if they would like to write about Linux Lite. Now success! The German magazin LinuxUser includes in issue 9/2016, which is available since today, an article about Linux Lite. Ca. 4 pages.

Viele schlanke Distributionen buhlen auf älterer Hardware um die Gunst des Anwenders. Mit einem hohen Bedienkomfort ermöglicht Linux Lite speziell Umsteigern, ohne funktionelle Abstriche sofort loszulegen.

Many lean distributions are competing on older hardware to the favor of the user. With a high level of convenience, Linux Lite allows specially newcomers without functional compromise to get started.
