Hello everyone, hope I've posted this in the correct place.

Thought I'd share my daily driver, Linux Lite 2.8 installed upon my Lenovo Ideapad.


LVDS

VGA

Whisker Menu

Whisker theme and conkyrc are my own. I love the provided feather backgrounds and tried to catch the colors of the feather on VGA background and match them within conky.

GTK is Zukitwo-Dark-Reloaded

Icon set is Menda-Circle (The set's quite large & has a somewhat "material design" aspect to it).

As I've said, it's my daily driver. I like to work from my LVDS to VGA and have set up my panel, it's indicators and the menu accordingly. 

It's not mind blowing or overly dramatic but I come from using either Openbox or i3 and like my systems left light, functional and minimal. Can't say enough about Linux Lite, absolutely in love with this system... Many thanks once again @Jerry! 

Hi
I have tried to install conky-manager but it is not in Lite Software, or synaptic.
So does this mean that i would have to add a repository if so how do i do it please. Thanks

I don't have idea if this section is the best place to publish this, but I only want to post this pic.

i'm trying to manage a simple network with few computers in which i'm interested to use the feature Krfb - Desktop Sharing 


however, it seems i can't connect to the remote computer without going there first or that computer then launch the Krfb - Desktop Sharing before i go back to my cubicle then remotely connect on it  :o


i tried to search posts or existing thread from these forum about auto-start but the more i read, seems the more i get confuse as i'm bombarded with information lol 


hoping you can assist or help me the step-by-step procedure on how to auto-start Krfb - Desktop Sharing  8)

To my brother. Talk about a windows die hard. Well not really. He's been watching me distro hop for years now and after telling him what windows has been up to he feels a bit concerned.

So I had my LL 2.6v  on a thumb drive made with the system back utility and we tried it on his laptop that he uses windows 7 on. He was pleasantly surprised how fast it booted. However the one thing he thought he needed windows for was to do his UFile taxes.

After using wine and installing it and worked he is seriously thinking about trying LL. Did I mention he's real CHEAP! haha  So in my opinion if he can do it then anyone can.

So in a few weeks (in his own due time) don't want it to be only my idea why he's using LL, we will be doing an install.

Should be fun. We'll convert the world one brother at a time right? haha

Cheers!

I'll keep anyone here interested updated on how things go.......

have loved linux lite from the get go and when i saw that 2.8 was released had to give it another go. Normal install works fine but i need disk encryption (i travel a lot with sensitive data and can't risk it being stolen). When i try to install with encrypted / lvm the install process stalls at "creating user" both on VM and during normal install. I have seen this error/bug with other distro's to and have yet to find a fix.

any suggestions are welcome as i would love to be able to get back to using LL


regards,
NiiX
