How many printed sides of paper are there in the Help Manual (1 page = 2 printed sides)?

The reason I ask is that I want to buy a display book with plastic pockets so I can refer to the Manual
away from my PC, but need to estimate the size of display book I need to purchase...

Thanks
Mike

I appreciate it is not as yet. if ever, to be featured as "acknowledge" for use with LL , but I have just downloaded 32 bit and in the process of trying etc.  Initially had frozen cursor but went into startup/mouse and disabled gestures ( both types).  So far seems to be working.  Appears to have picked up pepperflash non free OK without any meddling from me.

Will update:  LL 2.8  Kernel 3.13 32bit

Still getting mouse freezing, scroll works but cursor  freezes at one point on screen -but its "ghost" still moves around - so hit and miss whether icons activate.  Frustrating - but could be the makings of a game?? 

Youtube also causes cursor freezing and sound goes to maximum??

Might be worth other LL convertees making comments??

You may have to cut and paste the above link into your browser.?

I have loaded Linix Lite via USB and installed. I tried to update from the Lite welcome splash as requested.  It shows the Linix Lite Updates box, I clicked YES. It runs and shows a Updating software with sources, then after a short while it stops and shows an error message " Couldn't fetch the package cache ". Also when I try to use the Install Updates the Linix Lite Updates box opens, I click the Yes and get the same error message. I am not using Chrome. I am using Firefox browser.
Equipment ...........Dell inspiron 531 /  AMD  Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ / 2GB Memory

I want to be able to add software that Lite recommends. 
Please help

4/15/2016 - Just noticed I do not have " Add Additional Software " in the menu.

LL is aimed at XP to Linux cross over user.

Just out of interest, perhaps LL users would like to list their oldest machines running on LL with version and ram ?
I'll Start it off:
2003 -  Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 1 GB Ram - LL2.8

First i do not know if this is the correct place to post abt ham-radio.
I use linux lite for abt 3-4 months.
I like to learn how to  install ax25  ,jnos ,and more.
Is there any step by step how to do it??
I have try some but it is not like windows to install.
Thanks

As many of you probably saw in my brash, somewhat inflammatory first post on the forums, I had some personal issues in regards to the documentation of applications and projects run by LL. I guess it all started when ShaggyTwoDope had me help him fix up some markdown for lite-update https://github.com/linuxlite/lite-updater. Shaggy had a wonderful foundation of a README.md file, and I helped him spruce it up a little, and even since then he's made it even better (e.g. travis-ci integration). I want to start real simple, and just spruce up the README files for the various github repos of linux lite, using lite-updaters' readme file as a sort of template. The readme is rather simple to understand, brief, but has enough information. e.g.

• Project name (with travis-ci shield)
  
• Brief Description
  
• Some nice screenshots
  
• Depends list (bulleted)
  
• Authors list (bulleted and alphabetical)
  
• Credits section (bulleted and alphabetical)
  

This will help LL developers (present and future), because they'll have a short, but concise description of each project, instead of having to go through code and see what is used.

Alongside a standardized template for readme files, I feel a simple changelog would be a nice addition (though to be honest, this is what tags are for in git). So developers could keep track of ongoing changes, lite-updater so happens to also have a very nice, simplistic example of a changelog template, made up my ShaggyTwoDope.

As far as the lite-manual goes...I really don't want to tackle that as of right now.

Hi;

I need a grub editor. I saw a sudo command that was supposed to do it but gedit was not found.
Editing the grub file didn't work.
Any ideas? I installed Linux Lite specifically for this, to dual boot Between Win10 and XP

If you to read want my secret gist I put on gist.github.com that I wrote in markdown click the link https://gist.github.com/AdrianKoshka/d25...e37b72f6e8
Otherwise this will pretty much be a reiteration of my gist post.

Through the short time I've been helping a community member with his projects I've seen a little bit of the development process of Linux Lite...and to be honest it terrifies me. This will serve as a brief overview of what I find wrong with the Linux Lite Development Model.

Linux Lite Issues

This document will serve to hopefully compile all issues I see with various projects done by Linux Lite. I feel this is a better way to do things as the current system is not oriented towards teamwork (the lack of a github organization really needs to be fixed, no offense).

Documentation

Documentation is severely lacking in Linux lite, and the manual is--not the best either. I don't say these accusations though without providing suggestions, also I've started my own person rewrite of the Linux Lite Manual in gitbook, which can be found here https://www.gitbook.com/book/adriankoshk...al/details It's a WIP.

Github Organization

NOTE: DON'T GET BUTTHURT READING THIS, KEEP YOUR COOL, I'M BEING SERIOUS

To give proper credit to authors, whether it be for documentation, code, etc a github organization NEEDS to be setup. This hacky method of keeping a distributions projects under a user account is simply not acceptable. Some reasons this isn't accept are:

• It makes it look like authors have COPIED their ORIGINAL works!
  
• It doesn't foster a sense of community.
  
• It makes it harder for people who want to help contribute.
  
• It slows down progress.
  

that is just a short list of reasons why. A github organization will allow for Linux Lite to grow faster, for reasons such as:

• The community has more involvement.
  
• More people can take time to fix things.
  
• More work can be done independently
  
• More issues can be addressed
  
• A smoother work flow can be achieved.
  
• Less overhead.
  

Things That NEED fixing

These applications at this point don't have what I feel would meet minimum documentation requirements.

• Lite Software https://github.com/linuxlite/litesoftware
  
• Lite Control Center (almost, but not quite there) https://github.com/linuxlite/litecontrolcenter
  
• Lite Manual (Official, not my gitbook rewrite) https://github.com/linuxlite/litemanual
  
• Lite Welcome https://github.com/linuxlite/litewelcome/issues/5
  
• Lite Tweaks https://github.com/linuxlite/litetweaks
  
• xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin (Almost...not quite) https://github.com/linuxlite/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
  
• Lite Builder https://github.com/linuxlite/litebuilder
  
• Lite User Manager https://github.com/linuxlite/liteusermanager
  
• Linux Lite Kernel Build Script (IMPORTANT) https://github.com/linuxlite/kernelbuildscript
  
• Lite Login (Doesn't seem like you'd need much for a theme) https://github.com/linuxlite/litelogin
  

Minimum "Documentation" Requirements for README.md

You may see this and say "woah! That's a majority of the repos in your list!" and sadly this is true. Though I have very basic requirements for the README.md file of all repos.

• A short description of the applications' function.
  
• A screenshot or two, depends on what the application is I suppose.
  
• A list of Depends
  
• there is no arguing here, it'll make the job of future devs easier!
  
• An Alphabetically sorted, bulleted list of authors.
  
• Credits
  

for an example of this, see the lite-updater repo. https://github.com/linuxlite/lite-updater

Belongs somewhere ELSE

A list of repos/software that is not in the "correct" location.

• Lite Upgrade https://github.com/linuxlite/liteupgrade <-- shouldn't exist anymore in my opinion
  
• Lite Tasker https://github.com/linuxlite/litetasker
  
• Lite Projects 2.0 <-- This is what milestones are for in github https://github.com/linuxlite/liteprojects2.0
  

Clean up "Abandonware"

This section is for stuff I don't know whether LL uses anymore, that should be cleaned up.
