Hello everybody. I seem to be having an issue in my system. I tried to install the cinnamon desktop in linux lite 2.8 and make a how to video about it. But I accidentally closed the terminal window and had to delete the lock file of dpkg. Then I tried the install again. It gave me an error of #parsing. What is this error and how do I fix it. Thanks 

On a routine scan (ClamTK) of the LL I installed as a dual boot on my laptop I got the following result:




Clam will not quarantine it nor delete it (them)

Any suggestions?

A few weeks ago, I made an announcement on our social media pages that we were working on a new innovation.
Well I'm really excited to announce the first 'beta' version of our newest addition to our software.

Introducing Lite Info.

The purpose of the Linux Info, is to give people an idea of different computer configurations from within a Linux Lite Series. The Linux Lite Hardware Database displays Make and Model, CPU, Graphics, Audio, Network and Storage technical specifications. This provides a snapshot of the kind of computers people are able to use with Linux Lite.

This replaces the existing Hardware Database webpage.

New page: https://www.linuxliteos.com/hardware.php

Our software uses inxi to collect hardware information, which is then uploaded to the Linux Lite Hardware Database.
We hired a developer thanks to your ongoing contributions to handle all the web programming side of things. We're at the stage we're we'd like to release this for public testing.

Here's the process:

1. Run the tool via, Menu, System, Share Hardware Configuration.
2. Follow the prompts, takes about 20 seconds or less.
3. At the end of the prompts, you'll be offered to load the Hardware web page. Your submission will take between 15 - 60 mins to appear on the page, (depending on the number of submissions in the upload queue).

This provides much more accurate information and completely automates the entire process from beginning to end.

For this to be a success before going public with the final, we need testers. If we can get the kind of participation in this test that we did in the UEFI test, this would help to ensure the success of this application.

Hello! I'm a Puppy Linux evangelist most of the time (lol) but I thought I'd take a look at Linux Lite for a project of mine. I have neither prejudice for it nor against it -- haven't heard enough to be swayed.

Unfortunately, my hardware is a bit peculiar and Linux Lite doesn't seem to want to play along. I'm using a WYSE Cx0-series system, which is intended as a "thin client" (a sort of sophisticated KVM-over-network scheme using a remote session -- the thin client's role is analogous to that of an old-fashioned RS232 videoteletype terminal such as the famous DEC VT100).

This particular example has a rather anemic 1.0GHz VIA Eden CPU (based on the VIA C7) and an odd VIA VX855 chipset -- most thin clients using this CPU pick the VIA CN700 chipset; however, for unknown (to me at least!) reasons, WYSE (now part of Dell) used the VX855. Go figure.

I suspect that the driver Linux Lite is using is the 'openchrome' driver -- which has a known issue with this particular chipset -- support got broken in version 0.3.3, which is what Ubuntu Trusty Tahr uses. I'm actually working with the 'openchrome' people to get that sorted out (shout out to them!), but in the meantime I'd still like to try Linux Lite. At the moment I'm reduced to using LiveDVD ISOs; I can't seem to revert to text mode once the graphical system tries to bring things up. Version 0.2.904 of 'openchrome' is the last known working configuration of that driver that operates on this hardware... that would be the version from Ubuntu Precise Pangolin. If someone could patch together a DVD ISO for me with that version of 'openchrome' I'd be much obliged... if it's too much, though -- I understand, just let me know and I'll disappear.

Thanks in advance.

I noticed that the LL Wiki entry is outdated, very sparse and even in danger of being deleted. When I went distro hunting I used Wiki as a first screen to compare. Maybe this would be a good place to talk about how various features make LL ideal for those just getting away from Windows - the similarity of GUI to classic Windows, the help file on the desktop, the welcome center, the control center, the working "Windows" key, as well as other features such as various pre-installed apps and speed on older equipment.

The Russian government says it is looking to dump Microsoft and adopt Linux as the operating system for agency PCs.
In an [color=rgb(221, 0, 0)]interview[/color] with Bloomberg, Russian internet advisor German Klimenko said the state will consider moving all of its networks off the Microsoft platform and onto an unspecified Linux build instead.
Citing Microsoft's capitulation to the US government in honoring sanctions against Russia, Klimenko said that the Redmond software giant had reached the "point of no return" with Moscow and that 22,000 government agencies and municipal offices were prepared to drop Windows right now.
"It's like a wife seeing her husband with another woman – he can swear an oath afterward, but the trust is lost," Klimenko was quoted as saying.
Elsewhere in the interview, Klimenko promised to place additional taxes on goods sold by Microsoft, as well as Apple and other foreign companies who do business in Russia. He also slammed Google for what he sees as working with the US government in what he called a "threat to national security."
It should probably be noted that Microsoft itself isn't exactly [color=rgb(221, 0, 0)]best buddies[/color] with the US intelligence community either these days.
This is not the first time a government has mulled dropping Microsoft in favor of Linux. Nations around the world have at [color=rgb(221, 0, 0)]various[/color] [color=rgb(221, 0, 0)]times[/color] considered the idea of moving away from Redmond in favor of Linux.
Meanwhile, over in the US and UK, Windows is so entrenched that some agencies are [color=rgb(221, 0, 0)]still relying[/color] on their XP boxes and even [color=rgb(221, 0, 0)]paying Microsoft[/color] to provide them with extended support.

Hello everyone,

I've recently installed the latest Linux Lite (haven't been at my computer for quite a while - it's changed a hell of a lot!). Anyway, there is something really annoying happening. If I leave my computer alone for like 5-10 mins, it logs me out. Even if I'm watching a film or trying to download something. Then I have to log back in, and my download has failed. Have to start again. How do I switch this off? I never want to have to log in again, I don't want to have to keep touching the mouse every couple of mins just to download something or watch a film.

Any help will be appreciated,

I am a windows user that just got a PC with no OS and I installed Linux Lite. In windows, you have UAC and on other users which are not an administrator it will ask you for the administrator password. Is it possible to enable that in Linux Lite as I have a non-trustable little brother.

Compositing is turned on and I fiddled with transparency to make things feel lighter/modern. The bottom is not a launcher, but just a modified panel.  I centered it and added a transparent background with 64 pix icons.  Whisker at the top left and Applications and Directory down low on the "launcher".

Hi folks,

There is some kind of problem happening when I try to update...I get the following errors -

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Problem parsing dependency Breaks
E: Error occurred while processing samba-libs (NewVersion2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I tried removing the old lists by doing -

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update

so the cache would update but I still get the above errors, I tried rebooting a bunch of times but that didn't help either.

Any ideas on this ?
