splendid work thanks team

[size=1em]Following my experience of the somewhat amusing/intriguing 'wobbly windows' effect in Zorin OS, when I last used that OS a couple of years ago, I thought I'd try and reproduce the effect in LL2.8. 
I've installed CompizConfig Settings Manager from Synaptic Package Manager, and have successfully installed the relevant compiz plugins by running the following command:[/size]

The 'wobbly windows' option in the CompizConfig Settings Manager has been ticked, together with the 'Composite' and 'OpenGL' options.
However, following more than one reboot, the wobbly windows effect doesn't seem to be activated.

Could it be that this effect is only compatible with a Gnome desktop (as in Zorin) and so therefore wont work with Linux Lite's XFCE?
As usual any help is much appreciated...
Cheers

I have a usb 3  addon card and it doesn't show up in LL....Is usb 3 supported?

One of Fuji Si1520s has gone to valhalla

Need a tablet (hybrid?) 10.1 inch or bigger screen. Looking to see if I could convert one to LL and cut down apps.  also run more efficiently extend battery life etc etc..
Looking at ebay for used to try.
questions:-
a) is it possible to convert these to LL OS  only.
b) any ideas what make to aim for??
c) A gamble to try or not?

TIA

The steps I have taken to do this worked, but the resolution of the loading splash screen are low. This is what I did:

This brings the splash screen back, but it is of course 640x480 (or so it appears). I have tried uncommenting the GRUB_GFXMODE and changing it to 1920x1080 (I am using an HD TV running at this resolution) but it does not change anything. The splash screen was perfect prior to installing the Nvidia driver, and then it was the generic "Ubuntu 14.04" screen. I tried the Lite Tweak for bootup fix and that changed it to a generic Linux Lite 2.8 screen with the loading dots. After the chnage I made above I made headway and actually have the splash screen with the feather but at low resolution.

Any ideas? I know it is not a big deal but it bugs me Any help is appreciated!

Hi guys,

my first time on this forum.

After seeing a review of it on Youtube I thought I'd give Linux Lite 2.8 a try but I'm having some problems.

So far I've download the .iso file of Linux Lite 2.8 x32 (because in my old rig I can only install x32 OS's in Virtualbox). Tried to run (or install) Linux Lite inside the virutalbox but it doesn't even start the installation process. When I load the .iso file from virtualbox everything goes fine (you know, New machine, Amount of memory, etc.) until it gets to the starting (booting) screen of Linux Lite. When Linux Lite starts booting inside virtualbox there's a countdown going from ten to 1 but when it reaches one it just stops. I've tried this also inside Linux Mint 17.2 (running from an external HDD with virtualbox 4. ..something) the same thing.

I'm running openSUSE LEAP 42.1 (x64) as host OS.

Here's a picture of the screen when it hangs.



Some more info. As long as the countdown is running I can select all the options from the list provided (by moving with arrows) and also going into advanced options with tab but after the countdown hits one nothing works anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I bought the Intel NUC NUC6i5SYH.  I got the following config:

16GB DDR4/2133 RAM
256GB NVME SSD
2TB Samsung Spinpoint HDD
It comes with Intel Iris 540 integrated graphics.

I need Windows for one application so I installed that on the SSD. The first hurdle was that the BIOS didn't like the NVME drive so I had to do a BIOS update (from within the BIOS).
The next hurdle was installing Windows, which also didn't like the NVME drive so I had to get a driver for that also.
After that, Windows was fairly painless and the NVME drive is very fast.


Then on to installing Linux on the HDD.  I was expecting problems as I had read online that the Iris 540 Graphics lacked drivers and GRUB was likely to cause issues also.
I was really expecting to have to install the latest short-term support version of Linux (15.10 at the time of writing) but I decided to try my latest Linux Lite DVD anyway (2.6, 64-bit).
Well, it installed and with no graphics issues - or any other issues as far as I can see.  Everything (including GRUB) worked first time.
This was BEFORE I had connected to the internet to download any updates or drivers.

This is excellent and I'm most impressed.  I was expecting big problems but had none at all.

Add to that the fact that Linux Lite comes ready to run in VMs (no need to download VirtualBox Guest Additions) and, for my purposes at least, it's by far the best Linux distro available.

Top stuff.

Edit: Forgot to mention no sound through headphones.  Easy fix found at (https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us...05499.html):

1/ Add the following groups to your account: audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, and voice
2/ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
3/ sudo apt update
4/ sudo apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms
5/ reboot

Hi all,

I had problems getting Bluetooth devices working on Debian Jessie. So I tested a range of distros Xubuntu 14.04/15.10, Lubuntu 14.04/15.04, Bodhi and Linux Lite.

In Bodhi bluetooth works too but is a pain in the *ss configuring extended monitors. So I ended with Linux Lite, a nice suprise. First distro that works with my bluetooth keyboard without tweaking. Steam included, great!
Big thanx to the Linux Lite team!!

So far I love Linux Lite and use it as my main distro.
I have Vector Linux running on a older laptop and Bodhi in VirtualBox.

I have able  to print on the above printer but it is not  scanning.How to set up the scanner .Please help.Thanks ;D .

Sorry, this got posted in the wrong thread and I can't delete or move it. Can someone with the authority move it to the appropriate place for me please?


Haven't used 'Install Updates' since a couple of weeks and today I went to do it and got this:

Anyone has the same experience?

What can I try to fix this, please?
