I've now introduced the German Wikipedia article about Linux Lite and added some screen shots to the Englisch Wikipedia article.

Using both Tomboy and Xpad with launchers on the desktop, the icons are identical. It seems Xpad has no emblem of its own, so it is automatically assigned the Tomboy one.

In practice, this is more annoying than confusing, but there is a quick remedy:

Right-click on the Xpad icon, select Edit Launcher, double-click on Icon to open an alphabetically arranged set of emblems to choose from. I find  the pleasantly gray text-editor-symbolic to fit Xpad rather well, being properly distinguished from the yellow Tomboy launcher in its vicinity.

Jerry...I have my machine set up with a dock and I swap out hard drives depending on the OS I want to use.  One with Windows 7 and one with  LL.......The problem is whenever I select Quit in linux..... The machine only shuts off for a second and then reboots......I've tried at least 10 different distros and they are all the same so it isn;t a just a problem with LL......Windows 7 completely turns off the machine but all flavors of linux just does a reboot and doesn't turn off the machine....Any ideas on a fix.....It's just irritating.

hi just got a EEE pc 1000he with N280 atom ... which internet browser would you experts suggest for it ? something that is able to play yutub without problems (the firefox is "shaky")
love the Linux btw ...

thanks

So, are we at a point now, where the system is able to save settings you made to the graphical setup? Or is it still, that i will have to readjust/reset my dual-monitor set-up after every boot, so i can use the monitors part-part and not mirrored.
The menubar settings also dont get saved... (i always set it to DVI-0 but it gets back to auto which puts it on VGA-0 which is mirrored to DVI-0 after boot)

No, i will not write weird settings texts into some file by myself, nope. That is not why computers have been invented. sry. The system has to save settings the user makes. period.

Greetings,

I have recently installed LL 3.0 on a 6 year old HP TouchSmart tm2 notebook, however I'm finding it to be somewhat sluggish to start up and shutdown. When restarting, it has frozen up on me a couple of times and have had to power off - lately it's been OK although still sluggish to restart. Also the welcome screen i.e the one with the feather, is not occupying the full screen - there's a blue strip around the top and a wider blue strip on the left side of the screen. My display is correctly set at 1280 x 800. Otherwise, everything else is OK. Any ideas?

Thanks
Paul

I typed in the sudo command and the new kernal installed very easy.  First time for me to do something like that and I rebooted and everything is still working.  Seems like the graphics are working a little faster....Now just waiting for the November upgrade....Eager to try it.

I am setting up a dedicated plex media server for the house.  The hardware is as follows:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/gtT6sJ  (AMD 5350 Processor in an Asus AM1M-A MoBo)

I have attempted to install several different flavors of Ubuntu on the machine (Mint, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Lite).  Linux Lite has allowed me to progress further into install than any other distro.

Each time I boot into Linux the system eventually crashes.  When it does, whatever is displayed on the monitor, whether or text or graphics, is scrambled and the entire system freezes.  I am able to run Lite live for some time by starting in safe mode and entering "nomodeset" prior to boot, but eventually the graphics scramble and the system freezes.

Similarly, when I try to install, the process will go smoothly for a while, but eventually the same graphic freeze occurs. 

This happens with every distro I've tried.  I'm beginning to think there is a hardware issue.  Google searches have done little good.  Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

FYI, This is on LL 2.8, not on 3.0 yet.
I needed to check ink levels on 1 of my printers, printing not looking good.

Went to main menu, typed HP and selected "HPLIP Toolbox"
Nothing happened, NO GUI appeared...
After a bit of Googling/Checking decided to re-install.

Latest HPLIP Install Link

No idea what or when it disappeared, not checked it for months...
Main thing is, I can can now see the printers

I actually had an install problem, that kicked me from grub to the Ubuntu installer at the initramfs command term. Although such things are rare for me, it is I think unique to grub in this particular installer, and rescatux would not solve it from the GUI. The LL installer allows you to select your partition manually, so I normally have partitions prepared in advance, and install root to one and swap to another. On this particular sys the user had two different speed SATA disks, each with their own swap partition. The second disk, where LL was installed was the faster of the two, so within the installers manual settings, I chose not to use the slower swap partition on the first disk, opting for the faster 6G swap on the second, by selecting do not use this (the first disk slower one) partition. When I reconfigured grub back to the Debian boot screen of the first disk, LL would not boot, and had no file entries. I manually entered the boot strings, and achieved kernel panic when booting LL, even though it had a 6G swap partition available. I added the slower swap partition back in from the Ubuntu term and all was well again. Grub in LL is the only installer that has given me this kind of issue. Not a problem just a surprise to me. I have since reset the pri on the swaps and all is well, but it was curious to me. Most installers do not have an option to not use a partition, only to select one. I was trying to lessen the work and created more, making an assumption (bad praxis on my part) and I could see new users getting confused with the option so I mention it here. I realize now that the action I called could not be made from the second disk prior to installation, because grub was to install on the first, so even though I manually entered the boot strings correctly it was not about to work after I had reset up grub from the first sys.  Duh. More coffee.
