Hi all
I have bought a HP Splash netbook with Win10 pre-installed. It has only a 32Gb which I will only use for my OSs with a 32 Gb fast Sd card for my Data . How things have changed . On win95 the PC only had something like a 6.5 Gb hard drive .


LL is my preferred OS but  I find there are certain times that I find I have to use Windows for some tasks . On my old machines I have LL dual booted with Win 7 . Plus LL with XP .


I would be happy to use XP  offline as my other OS as I have used that more than Win7 .Unfortunately the Windows licences are all OEM versions and so I cannot transfer them to a different PC .


I am looking to hear if anyone has had a good experience running LL with Win 10 on a Virtual Machine  or would the advise me to  Dual Boot with Win 10 on a UEFI bios Netbook .

Hi. I need a help. How install & configure Vidalia & Tor. Step-by-step, please. Tnanks.

I am hoping you can help me with a bug I have with my new computer.
It is a gigabyte ga-z68ma-d2h-b3 MB and the problem is how to set the audio so I get the full 5.1 sound. At the moment I am only getting audio from the front speakers when I do a test "speaker-test -Dplugurround51 -c6 -l1 -twav" .
Do I have to change the settings somewhere?, as the mb is I have to use the mic and Line in plugs at the back, which I have done, but don't appear to be getting the surround sound from them, Hopefully you can give me the answer I am trying to find, so far in vain, Thanks in advance.

Hi, My printer is CANON MG5350, and I'm trying to print coupons, but it won't print the barcode on it for some reason, looks like some protection.

I've looked online and other people had problems with their Windows and MAC computers also.
Some people recommended to use Adobe Acrobat.

I use official printer drivers.

What should I do?

First time they were half printed, but then the printer stopped printing the barcodes completely.

Oh and the file format is PDF

I am trying to use a file manager to get files off my android phone and copy them to a directory in my linuxlite PC.  The problem is that when using Thunar (for example) to copy a photo from the phone to the computer, the file ends up with a new creation date for the date/time it was copied, rather than the date it was created, and this makes sorting by creation date impossible on Linux Lite.

This problem is fully described here in regard to Nautilus http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2187432&page=1  and it is exactly what I am experiencing in Thunar and LL. 

I have used grsync to transfer files and that works to preserve the date, but I really want to use a file manager as I do this all the time. 

Does anyone know of a file manager that explicitly has the "preserve date stamp" option that grysnc offers?

thanks

I see THIS from that thread, but that doesn't help me now....  Any ideas for the present would be appreciated. 

UPDATE 2 October 2015: GREAT NEWS! THIS BUG HAS FINALLY BEEN FIXED in time for UBUNTU 15.10.

Can someone please advise

First, I am a Linux newbie.

I only installed Lite 2.6 two days ago. I totally replaced Win XP, even set up the partitions as suggested when I asked on this forum. The installation went well, I think as I was able do the installs at first start up, set the screen how I wanted it etc.

Anyway today I turned on the computer and it has been loading for the last 45 minutes and has not gotten past the splash screen. I rebooted and got a screen with the following:

GNU GRUB version 2.02 ~beta2 -9Ubuntu 1.4
Description: Linux Lite 2.6 GNU/Linux
Advanced options for Description: Linux Lite 2.6 Gnu/Linux
Memory Test (Memtest 86+)
Memory Test (Memtest 86+, serial console xxxxxx)


At the bottom of the screen along with the up and down arrows for selection etc.

Press Enter to boot selected OS, 'e' to edit Commands before booting or 'C' for a command line.

Can this problem be fixed?
The computer I'm using is not very new. Pentium 4, 3.06 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1TB Hd. As for Drivers, not sure what to look for but the mob is a D915GAV. Hope someone may have an idea what's going on.

I'm having trouble with the xfce4 CPU Graph on my Linux Lite 2.4 32 Bit System.  As you can see from the Video the graph part is working, but the CPU bars isn't doing anything.  Also the memory bars isn't showing up either.  I'm wondering why. 

I hope you can see what I mean in the video here:  Do any of you know what I might need to install?  I don't have this problem on mint xfce 17.2.  At 2:26 I show some of the property settings.  While you don't need to watch the whole 4 minutes, If it was working properly you should see the CPU bars jumping around in the bottom right hand corner of the screen next to the Menu and Directory Menu on the bottom Panel.

Okay so let me tell you a little story. I have a friend who is 13 years old. Her computer broke and she asked me to fix it. So I took a look at it and saw that the hard drive was broke. So called her dad, and told him that the hard drive was broke, and since there was no back up, I was going to have to reinstall the operating system. I told him that windows 7 was about $70 on new egg, or I could install LinuxLite. I was told that $70 dollars was out of the question. So I grab my spare hard drive, and put LinuxLite on it. I gave her back her laptop, showed her the basics, and went on my way. After she had been using it for a couple months I asked her how it was going. She said that it works just fine and that she wasn't having any problems.

Now if a thirteen year old can do it, why do people think it is so hard?

Being a PC user in the evening, I'm very conscious of not getting too much blue light exposure from my screen at that time of the day, as it can interfere with the one's quality of sleep during the night.  With this in mind, I wished to have the open-source Redshift package integrated into LL, so that there is an automatic spectral shift from red to blue near to and following sunset, as with the f.lux package with Windows OS.

I downloaded & installed  redshift 1.8-0ubuntu6 & gtk-redshift using LL's synaptic package manager, but the icon for redshift that I put in the panel, fails to stay there when I click on it, and redshift generally doesn't appear to work, though it did initially (the day before) when it was installed. I have now removed it, using synaptic, and wondered if someone could advise me on how to install it properly, if you've had success with it.
Many thanks
Regards
Mike
