I really loved your distribution.
I saw it and i was in love with it from the first moment.
Easy. nice. clear. structured. i really began to hope for having finally found a useful linux dist.

BUT:
then it happened. i tried to change my display res.(connected by VGA - no other option)
from 1024x768@60Hz to 1280x768@60Hz or something else...
NOT A CHANCE.
I dont get the fr... idea behind having to manually trick around with xrandr and manually creating special xorg.conf files in a modern times Operating System.
Thats not especially the fault of the linuxliteos packagers... because "ubuntuwide" i dont see an easy way to get around this if you have old displays or projectors and want to get the maximum out of them.

There  are loads of randr apps with which you can change res. from one sys-preset res. to another. But not a chance to put in a certain resolution you know your device is capable of, testing it and permanently add it to the xrandr listings or not to say permenantly boot with the same resolution if you do not want to frickle around with some system files.
You are nearly there... but changing the resolution on a display is such an essential thing. and many linux users dont tend to buy the newest or very popular hardware(incl. displays)

and if i can do that with gtf, xrandr, add a mode manually, why cant we automate this or even have a program for such issues...? I really dont get the point.
The thing it really kills me and i could write down my problem here about 99times or so is just that it really bugs me.
I tried to set up an old machine today for managing my RAW image files in the cellar where i also have a mini-studio for product photography. i set up everything installed darktable etc.
but i tried a few times with one dist. (it was a bit older and set up my display automatically but i wasnt able to obtain a recent version of darktable with this distro.) next dist. not a chance.
next dist. problems with install.
next dist. would work somehow but quirky. but not a chance to set the resolution right.
next dist. - linuxliteos... looks good. set up everything. REALLY looked like the big deal. read about easy to configure even install for fglrx...
Then ... i saw new fglrx threw out radeon 9600 series cards... so no proprietary driver... no amdccle ... no easy changing resolutions... tried to manually install legacy driver... failed(-too old to fit in) ...tried a few times with xrandr apps like arandr etc... then my left eyelid began to twinkle... because i saw ITS ABOUT 50min PAST MIDNIGHT and I spent a whole day trying to get a decent resolution for my display to work. --- IF YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I HAD THAT(SIMILAR) PROBLEM WITH A DOZEN DISTS BY NOW. - no i will not add anything manually anymore.  because i think that is like if i would have to start a new Audi quattro by attaching a crank to a hole in its front-grill and winding it around like its 1930... no not with me. thank you.

You have a really nice distro here. really promising. but that with the custom resolutions and so on is something you should really do something about.
I am not a programmer and i dont want to become one, but i have a bit understanding for all those things because i visited a higher educational school for IT and biz for one year, when i was younger;
And I am really convinced that you could deliver a solution for such problems easily if you want to.
script based, or i dunno what... but me and loads of other linux users would really like to see a change here.

Hi
I am having an issue with bluetooth..device added successfully but failed to connect

installed linuxlite 2.6 x64 and  updated

the bluetooth iogear gbu521w6 and the headset i-sound BT-2500

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:21e8 Broadcom Corp. BCM20702A0 Bluetooth 4.0

lsmod
bluetooth            391136  22 bnep,btusb,rfcomm

I found this post
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/netwo...inux-lite/

long short after reboot the computer never reached the desktop...

after reinstall and update I edited /etc/bluetooth/audio config as posted

[General]

Enable = Source,Sink,Headset,Gateway,Control,Media
Disable = Socket        ...............added these two lines as did not see an enable item or any unhashed item similar.

HFP=false.....changed from default true to false

[A2DP]
SBCSources=1
MPEG12Sources=0  .......unhashed these three items

I skipped the update as already up to date and the bluemon, pavucontrol and pulse-audio-bluetooth appear to already be installed

When the first attemp failed I suspected as the post is from 2014 that the updates were already included and created a new problem

I added fw-0a5c_21e8.hcd to /lib/firmware and rebooted.....device added successfully but failed to connect

is the iogear no longer out of box goodness for linux?

is the i-sound headset not linux friendly? it works with all the other devices but I got it for this unit,

do I need a different firmware? where and how would I do that

do I actually need the ppa source added and to update blueman,pavucontrol and pulse-audio-bluetooth...doing so appears to be a problem

It was evidently a nice fix in july 2014 but does it still apply?

likely something simple but I am at a loss

Thanks for reading

Any thoughts?

Since a few days, 34 updates came along in one lump..., the message; 'Can't fetch update list...' appears'!?
In looking for updates via 'Control+Alt+T' I receive a warning;

W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/di...le/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


What am supposed to do best!? Thank you

System details;
Linux Lite 2.8
Desktop:  Xfce 4.10
Processor:    AMD Phenom™ II X4 840 Processor
Architecture:  x86_64
Kernel:  Linux 3.13.0-79-generic

Always found ubuntu to be lacking in stability especially after updates.
For that reason, I often stuck with mint linux, but its so fat.
I tried customizing a basic ubuntu server, but still the overall configuration and stability was unacceptable.
Until Linux Lite 2.8 (my first attempt with the distro) and it was a flawless experience from the beginning to its current state.
This is a testament to work behind the project.
Really the only flaw I can see is in the theming; its too segmented.
There needs to be a tool called Themes where the whole appearance is changed in accordance to the specs of the given theme.
It should also easily allow users to create custom themes.

I am new to this operating system, which I have come to because MS Vista is losing support very soon. Thus far I am very impressed, but with one key exception. Skype is an essential part of my old operating system, but I cannot get it to work in Linux Lite - despite trawling through forum responses and Google searches. I cannot get my microphone to be recognised, though the Pulse Audio volume control shows an input response to my voice (on board SigmaTel HD and plugged in mic). No application is shown as recording – when Skype and Audacity are running. The Skype sound test, though perfectly audible, fails to register a recorded message from me. Audacity, however is able to record/playback plugged in and on board microphones. Is it perhaps no coincidence that guvcview and Skype do not function as expected, since my on board webcam (Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC6 with self-installed R5U870 driver) also refuses to record video in the former, and activate in the call window in the latter? I should be most grateful for some guidance, though please bear in mind that I have had limited experience using the terminal. These are my system details:

Hi,

This is the first time I came across such a strange network problem like this.

What I am trying to do is to get onto a certain website but everything I have tried just doesn't work. The strange thing is I can get onto other websites with no problems whatsoever. I tested both Firefox and Chrome but I get the same result with the website in question, when I type in the address of the site in the address bar, I can see the indicator trying to do something but it just sits there, no data is loaded into the browser. Even in the host system nothing I've tried will work (I am using LinuxLite 2.8 in a virtual machine on a mac using El Capitan, the mac is the host, and I am on a wireless connection).

I had a talk with the tech person who provides internet access thinking it might be something on that end but he thought it was not that since I can get other websites besides the one I want. I've checked proxies, browser plugins, etc. I even did a traceroute on the site, it will go to a certain part and then no data gets transferred. If I ping the site, no pings happen. I've contacted the owner of the site, she's given me some things to try out but that hasn't done anything either.

If you have any ideas on how I might solve this problem, please let me know as I have completely run out of things to try out. Wow, what a mind blower, maybe it's something simple that's not set right but I don't know what to look for.

Thanks,

Hello Linux Lite Community:
In the past few days, whenever I try to install updates, about halfway through the process it freezes and a window appears with a red "X" stating, "Couldn't fetch the package cache information lists".
Attached is the system report I performed after several update attempts.

We've removed Chrome from the Lite Software 32bit version.

For 32bit Google Chrome:

Open a terminal and do each of these commands one at a time:

With only 1 gig of ram and minimal cpu I need to watch what I'm doing carefully. The task manager progress graphs and % reports do the job, except it is using 10% to 20% of cpu itself. I'd like to find a low resource cpu/memory tool for desktop use. Truly a little meter in the taskbar would be best.
Anybody know of such a tool?
Thanks
