I'm using LL 2.8 64-bit. Since XFCE has this unsolvable problem with always asking for the wifi and keyring passwords during bootup, how do I switch over to a more reliable window manager like LXDE or KDE?

When I installed LL 2.6, I selected auto login and it worked for a while. Now I have to enter my wifi key manually and it keeps asking me for a keyring password every time I boot up. Is there any way to fix this?

Clicking on a Google Drive spreadsheet (mybudget.gdsheet) doesn't open up the Google spreadsheet.

Instead it opens up to a text file in the browser containing a "url" statement, like: {"url": https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...."

The file manager recognizes it as a "plain text document".

How can I get it to recognize it as a "Google Spreadsheet?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Hi All,

I have been downloading/installing Viber Messenger; apparently, the process is fine but when wishing to configure Viber something is wrong: is like it does'nt see that I have Viber on the phone too and the process aborts.
Maybe is Viber's packet fault, am writing just to know if anyone got the same problem.

Thank you for reading

Hi All,

Am experiencing a funny problem: at startup a window comes out informing me that /downloads does'nt exist or maybe needing to configure with "blueman" services.
The folder is there even with subfolders in it and I don't have any idea of what "blueman" is.
Was wishing to be hereby attaching image of that window but the Forum allowing only .txt attachments. I suggest to the Forum Administrator to improve the service, does'nt make sense allowing only .txt files, in my opinion 

This topic may have been covered if so please accept my apologies. This article may be useful to windows users looking to boot into Linux Light. The secure boot disable option is of course up to the producer of the computer. Mine had windows 10 and fortunately I could disable secure boot and engage legacy to boot Linux Light or any other Linux distro that may not have a key for Microsoft. Hope it helps.

While I was waiting for LL 3.0 to be released I tried out the pre-release copy of the distro Xubuntu 16.04 (Quite liked it). One thing I really liked was the 'Gnome Software Center'. I noticed it listed in Synaptic, so I installed it for LL 3.0. I certainly know how to use it, but is it OK to use on Linux Lite? As we all know Linux Lite is a heavily modified system. There's nothing wrong with 'Synaptic', but there are a few features about Gnome SC I like. Gnome SC was a great piece of software for Xubuntu, but is it for LL? Thanks to any & all. By the way: If it's OK for LL, check it out.

I have been using grub customizer (version 5.0.6-0ubuntu), an excellent tool for editing the grubscreen on my Dell laptop, where I have several operating systems installed. Grub customiser installed & worked smoothly with LL2.8, but I appear to have a glitch with it, when trying to install it on LL3.0.

When I attempt to install it in LL3.0, using gdebi package manager, I get the following feedback from gdebi and as a result gdebi is unable to proceed any further:

Confusingly, when I check synaptic package manager to see what version of libatkmm is installed, it appears that the libatkmm-1.6-1v5 package is there, and the version installed is 2.24.2-1, which is of course >2.22.1, listed above.

Any help in solving this is much appreciated, as always

Mike
