As the topic says basically after I login lightdm remains visible as a regular Window "form" with a close button. I basically have to kill it to make it go away.

A side note to the install of LL 2.6 on my Dell Latitude E6410:

After a successful install of LL I decided to try the NVIDIA video drivers offered as options under Hardware Drivers. There were four NVIDIA drivers listed, two for version 340.96 and two for version 304.131.  I tried one of each and in each case got strange behaviour on startup:

  - The feather boot screen was replaced by a text version "Linux Lite 2.6" with dots below it
  - My desktop background was replaced by the xfce mouse one
  - The window font sizes changed
  - The line for "temp1" went missing in the output for the sensors command (which I use in conky)

During boot I saw error messages flash by (stuff about udev and systemd).

I changed back to the Linux Xorg driver and all returned to normal, so this is not a big problem for me, but I thought I should report it.

My E6410 has a 1440 x 900 screen and lspci gives:  VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)

For what it's worth.

Hi


I had a premature shut down ( see other post ) which resulted in AbiWord closing and a Letter that I was preparing for over an hour was lost .


But as AbiWord is set up to Auto save every 5 mins its not a calamity .
So all I need is to get it back .>>>>but how ??


Could not find a an option in ABI programs own  Menu's


Tried Help > help contents >search >got "The [/size]AbiWord website[/size] can be searched )  > No "Search " option available
[/size]
[/size]Tried Twiki > searched for Auto Save & Autosave with similar outcomes

Tried Googling - it is a known issue but unable to find a Solved post


All I gleaned was the Auto Saves were a .BAK file  in a Hidden folder  without a known place it might be searched for .


I tried a Catfish Search of my "File System " for .BAK  but the results did not include any from AbiWord
Then  searched for ABI found the file of my letter I saved as a named file soon after I started a New Document .


Can anyone help me (hopefully intact ) where ABI put its files .


What is the sense of having an Auto Save feature that is not easily accessible when disaster strikes

has anyone had LL power down without warning and a solution


The Power Settings are set to "Ask" when the battery level reaches 15%  but it switches off instead - lost work - posted a problem with AbiWord Auto save

I am new to this system, as I had just installed yesterday Linux Lite2.2 32bit; and today upgraded it to the latest version(2.6). The problem I have , with both versions, is that whenever  I click on Firefox, chrome or help, the  computer gets frozen and paralyzed completely; however, the wire internet connection is on. I had to restart over and over again for so many  times (during these days) in vain.  Before sending my comment, I searched y'r site and also  googled  and    nothing there. The OS is installed on a separate HD, with Windows 7 starter  on the other one. Desperately asking for help, appreciating any  input to the effect.

Thanks a lot

Friend has lost his trash bin.  Where does one go to restore this item
Thanks

In my search for an on screen keyboard for my Windpad 110w I came across the Maliit osk in Synaptic. After installation it does not appear in the Menu as would an installation of OnBoard.How do I go about enabling Maliit as I would like to give it a try.

Whenever I click the Linux installer link I get the following error message:

Failed to open URI "gogdownloader://beneath_a_steel_sky/installer_linux_en".

The specified location is not valid.


Any help? These are linux games I'm trying to install by the way. I'm using Chrome. I also get an error message in Firefox.

Thanks.

I'm very happy with LL 2.6 on my notebook computer.  I'm thinking of installing LL on my Dell Latitude D6410 which currently dual boots with Win 7 and Manjaro.  My Manjaro install has separate partitions for / and /home and uses the xfce desktop but a more recent kernal than LL.

If I install LL over Manjaro I'm thinking of formating the root partition, but not /home.  This would preserve my work data, music files, and application program configuration files (mostly hidden), but there is a potential confilict with hidden system and desktop configuration files.  I'd much rather take this approach and then tidy up any resulting weirdness on the desktop, but I don't want to screw up critical system functions, either.  (And if there are a few stray config files lying about that are harmless, I can live with it.)

I know a totally clean install is the safest, but I wonder how risky my plan is.  Thanks for any insight or advice you might have.

Cheers,

Hello everyone new here to the forum. I've been using LL for several years on lots of different machines. I am getting this message "vboxclient the virtualbox kernel service is not running" on 5 different machines after recent updates everytime the computers start or restart. I dont have Virtualbox and need to know how to get rid of this message. Thanks in advance.
