Dear all,
I was using cinnamon desktop on Mint. However I decided to try Linux Lite, but did not wipe out the home directory. After I install Lite, all the shiny desktop is gone and left my desktop to the standard xfce desktop. It must be because of some conf files.
Do you have any suggestion that how can I revert the settings to the polished beautiful Lite desktop without wiping out the home folder?
Thanks in advance,
Bora
I get this error (see subject) when attempting to update using Linux Lite Updates about halfway through the download.
I've got this same error in two different distributions...both v2.8 (first) and then again in v2.8. I was going to update the v2.6 to version v2.8 but at the patch level currently installed (Linux 3.13.0-62-generic Software Updates: Last updated on 2015-10-31 time to update) the update program did not recognize the existence of a newer version of Linux Lite. I proceeded to run the Linux Lite Updates to get to a point from where I could upgrade and ended up with the same error.
Desktop icons have white fonts on dark backgrounds any idea?
Have not had any problems updating Linux-Lite 3 until this morning. I tried to update LL3 from the command line and when it reached this line: repo.linuxlite.com:80 (142.54.171.138) the connection timed out. It also displayed this message, some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Fasten your seatbelts, new kid on the block. I hope Linux developers are aware. Never ends.

I have a Raspberry PI SD Card which I need to format but before I want to make an image of it. Unfortunate, all the programs are all for windows. Does any body know about a piece graphical software for this. (Do not mention dd)

Can't find their source code though.
Ubuntu having discussion over whether to keep 32bit or not...

I installed LL3.0 on the second hand Lenovo B50-30 i bought yday.
In the BIOS i did set the boot mode to Legacy Support and Boot Priority to Legacy First.
There was also a option called OS optimized defaults, it had 2 options to choose from, Other OS and Win8 64bit..i set it to other os..LL3.0 is other os and not win8
Now i have 2 problems which are similar.
1. When i shut the laptop down it doesnt shut down all the way, i get as far as a black screen with power button and num lock light on, then it just sits there. I have to force close it to shut it completely down.
2. When i choose to restart laptop it dos the same as when i want to shut it down, it doesnt restart, just sits there with the power button light and the numlock light on and a black screen. I then have to manually force close it to be able to restart the laptop.
It starts up withou a problem and as far as i can tell all works without a problem. Just the shut down and restart that isnt working as it should be.
been using this app for a month, had to do a clean install on the dell 1501 and now it says, Clementine Error-"Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin. Never seen this one before?
