Tried to install google chrome as I really enjoy the voice search on my windows machine Says it installed using the "Lite Software" installation tool ( I have installed it other ways too then un-istalled it same problem though)

I should mention that if the voice search is not offered in the linux version I am perfectly happy with f fox.

Monday morning moment, How can I add another email account to Thunderbird??

Thanks

Very basic info for beginners can be found on FirstTimeLinux.com.  Linux Lite OS screenshots are featured on this site.

Hello Lite community. I am (soon to be 'was') a Windows user and is new to Linux.
I just found out about Lite on DistroWatch a couple hours ago. I've checked the Help Manual but couldn't find an answer to the first question I have. It's this:

Will Lite run on my old computer?
Pentium 4, 3.06 GHz
System model: D915GAV_
32 bit
came with 2GB RAM, I upgraded that to 4GB with only 3.something available for use.
It has XP Professional

I don't want to dual boot. I just want to run Lite only.  if this is not the place to post, please let me know.

After having a problem I was helped by being pointed in the direction of the Seahorse -Passwords and Keys program .
I feel that it should be installed in Lite Menu  at start up instead  of been hidden and needing to be installed first . There does not appear to be any other program in LL that is a Password manager using a GUI.

An empty mystery file named .gvfs has recently showed up in my home folder.  :o

I must open it in root and it is empty. I have searched for an explanation on the internet but I am not sure what I read it means. Apparently it has something to do with the Gnome desktop. Of course, I am only using XFCE. Has it something to do with Systemback or TOR browser which I only started to use recently? The way I found it was Deja Dup say it can not back it up and still tries to copy it even after I marked it should be ignored.

What is this file? How did I get it? Is it save to delete it?  :-\

Hi,


My old HP 3070 started making horrible noises, so time for a new printer,
my local supermarket(Tescos) had some New HP Deskjet 3634 AIO's for £39.99 @$60
So I bought one...


Plugged it into LL Laptop, pop-up "you need HP-3060 drivers", quick google, an update of HPLIP required.
So I went to the "Latest HPLIP Download" page.


Downloaded and ran the installer to update to the latest HPLIP,
Then ran HPLIP, added new printer, up and running via WiFi in a few minutes.
You do initially connect via USB, but a WiFi option is part of the options in HPLIP.
NOTE: It could be missed, on the last install screen, small text,
It says "Now Remove USB Cable" then run "HP-Setup <ip.address>" in a terminal


Print quality is very good, and it's a bit smaller than my old HP-3070 AIO.

Hello all,

I have Windows on sda1 and 2, Lite /, swap and /home on sda3, 5 and 6 and left some unallocated space for experimentation! I installed
there recently a few distros to see what they got in real installation because in VB, apart from being slow, I have to use scroll bars.
In order to avoid troubles with GRUB conflicts I installed each fresh installed distro's GRUB on each one's / and over them all I tried to re-install
Lite's GRUB (please, feel free to laugh!!!). Everything was going according to plan in the terminal, up to the final command "sudo update-grub"
where instead of a glorious boot menu with all the OS listed, I found myself in front of a black screen!
I boot in the live mode trying to mount Lite's / and re-install GRUB, where I see in the terminal that everything is where it supposed to be although
unmounted and as soon as I give the commands "sudo grub-install...." and "sudo update-grub" in the end, it turns back "grub-install: error:
failed to get canonical path of '/cow'
What are the proper commands to fix this and what did I do wrong?

Thank you in advance! 

I had Linux installed for a few day now and im really enjoying it, I binned windows off for good and currently pick up Linux way of thinking and learning.
