After the last few updates, I received this message in the update log:
"The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libhdb9-heimdal libkdc2-heimdal libntdb1 python-ntdb
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them"
How do I exactly perform this task?

Hi..I want to reinstall LL .  I dual boot Windows Vista,Lite,Mint Mate,Mint Xfce,LXLE and Peppermint. Id like to install LL in the partition LL is occupying. I have done a search and could not find a tutorial. I can follow instructions but some of the terms experts use lose me. I have installed these distros along side Vista but never replaced a distro in the same partition. Any help would be much appreciated.  Dan

Really??? I've asked them for an explanation for this.





Look like they don't want to host Linux ISO's any more.

"[size=1.35em]Google Chrome to block Flash by default, potentially dealing final blow to hated software"
http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/15/116793...later-2016

Questions:
a) Does this mean pepperflash-non free is also on the way out.
b) What happens in the switch over period where "millions"? of sites become un-usable.
c) The repository hosts adobe-flash plugin- is this now safe? should it be used as all?
d) What are the ramifications for LL?

as an aside - should the same be considered for Java plugins - unsafe ?

Just tried it, very nice

Download it, make it executable, then:

Having previously managed my Zen mp3 player on a Windows machine, I've now switched exclusively to Linux Lite 2.8.

My machine now will not recognise the player plugged in to any usb connection. Any ideas?

Also, and I guess it's a long shot, is their any possible support for Zen Media Manager/Organiser on Linux?

Hello,

Thank you.

I have created a multiboot set-up on a GPT disk, made up of around 15 distros from the 'Ubuntu family', LL being in charge of the grub list. I have set this up on a cheap second-hand Dell Latitude D630, using this for demonstration purposes to show family & friends the wealth of choice available with Linux (Ubuntu-based) operating systems.

The problem is that some of these distros are named incorrectly in the grub screen list, for example:

ElementaryOS Freya is misnamed as Ubuntu 14.04; Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 is misnamed as Ubuntu 14.04, etc...

As I've already got the actual Ubuntu 14.04 installed, and this is of course listed correctly as Ubuntu 14.04, you can see the confusion that arises!

AustinTexas very kindly offered the following solution for renaming the distros, but it doesn't seem to have worked for me: maybe I'm doing something wrong? I notice the menuentry is repeated five times for each distro in the grub.cfg file.  Do I edit each one of the five mentions for each distro or just edit the first menuentry mention?  I have actually tried both but without success - I seem unable to rename the distros, as my efforts haven't led to a change in the distro names listed on the grub screen.  This was AustinTexas' method but I was unable to get it to work...

Quote:Editing the titles for the Grub menuentries is a chore.
You would have to open /boot/grub/grub.cfg in your text editor.
Code: [Select]
gksudo leafpad /boot/grub/grub.cfg Then find each menuentry you want to edit.  Anything inside the 'quote' marks can be edited.
EXAMPLE:
menuentry 'Korora release 23 (Coral) (on /dev/sda4)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os
can be changed to:
menuentry 'Korora 23 on /dev/sda4' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os

Then after your edits are complete, save a copy of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make editing a bit easier the next time you have to do it - which will be every time you do "sudo update-grub".

Any help on this one is very much appreciated, as always.
Cheers, Mike

HI...I downloaded LL on this old 32 bit hp laptop. I really like it but how do you dim the screen?  I used the fn keys in Vista but they do not work in LL.  The only other issue is no volume control on the taskbar but I managed to solve that one...Thank you in advance for any help.  dansar
