Downloaded various desktop environments, gnome is one of them, to try with linux lite, but I'm unable to change environments. No icon is present, when I log out and log back in.

Hello team
I have a small problem, a problem that can not connect Notebook to a wireless connection. So if anyone knows how to solve this problem would be very grateful.

Pozdrav ekipa

Umalo zaboravih računalo je HP nx6125

Hi,

I'm completely new to Linux although 20 years ago I worked few years on Unix x86.

I want to do a simple thing, wake up my computer from Internet using an Intel NUC (fanless  DE3815TYKH0E)  which is always on and on which I'll install Linux Lite. Then from the Linux Lite NUC I want to send WOL magic packets to a chosen PC on my home network knowing its MAC and/or IP address.

That is, I need:
- to install Linux Lite on Intel NUC
I'll do that following the guides
I'll have 4GB max of storage. I think it's enough
What's the minimum RAM requirement ?

- to have a software sending magic packets to specific MAC/IP addresses
Does such app exist on Linux Lite ?
Does any Linux distribution "wol" command work on Linux Lite ?
How should I do to launch the "wol" command ?

- to Remote Login (throughout) Internet to the Linux Lite in order to launch the wol command
I know how to open my router port.
What type of application should I use to launch the command (Remote Login, rsh, ...) ?  any other way to invoke the wol command with or without loging to the Linux Lite system ?

Please Note that sending magic packets (that is invoking wol command) is all I want to do with this NUC. I'm not using (at least for now) Linux Lite for any other thing. I'm choosing Linux Lite to install on the NUC's 4GB memory included in its motherboard without buying any more memory. Yet I have to add some RAM.

What is the minimum required RAM for Linux Lite in order to just send magic packets ?

Thanks very much

Would it be possible to add an extra field to include whether the LL version being used is 32 or 64 bit?

Hi I'm a window's user for all my life. I finally tried Linux Lite 2.6 yesterday, as a first time user i was amazed with the improvements of linux over the years. I can now revive old laptops and desktops with this. To the Linux Lite group you guys rock! Thank you so much!

I Love computers and the problems they cause me . I am seriously thinking of exchanging them for two bricks to bang my head against . Much cheeper and without the frustration using a computer . Every solution to a problem seams to lead to them  having their  own problems - and so on  .
[/size]
[/size]Maybe when they crack the Artificial Intelligent Programming we will get a computer that can  communicate properly between them and us humans and let us know where we are going wrong rater than keeping things secret.
[/size]
[/size]I recently needed to reinstall LL after a Lock out situation (other post)
[/size]Now w[/size]hy does Chrome ask for my ( GNOME ? ) keyring  password?) I am sure I got rid of the prompt a long time ago so I have forgotten how.
[/size]
[/size]My understanding is that LL uses Xlce and not Gnome so why do I need a Gnome keyring -  I live alone do I need it [/size]anyway on my home system.
[/size]
[/size]What function does it serve as it makes no difference if I Cancel or enter  the password
[/size]
[/size]Can it be defeated or uninstalled using a GUI method
[/size]
[/size]Also as I had no part (knowingly) in its set up I can only guessed it was the same as Sign-in and Administrator one . But as I have already used it to Sign-in why do I need to use it again
What is confusing to this  silver (thick)headed person is ,if there is only one password in the system why don't all the programs that use it call it by the same name .

[/size]With regard to the Administrators Password whilst I can see the need in a work environment to  use it every time  it is  needed but I would like it to be remembered for the full session.Sadder but no wiser after a month of toil ,Colin [size=medium]

I'm new to Linux and about to install Linux Lite on a computer. My question is what software should I or could I use to create a media server that is PS3 compatible as well as Windows and Android?
The reason I decided to try Linux Lite is for a few reasons:

1. No direct connection to the TV except through the PS3
   
2. The need for stability of Linux and the small distro for possible older computer
   

Also if possible is there possibility of having a printer shared as said computer has a LPT and the better computer doesn't? HP Laserjet 5P

Specs of computer:

• AMD Athlon 64+ 3200+
  
• 2.5 GB RAM
  
• 128 MB Radeon 9600 Pro
  

Thanks in advance for any and all help in these matters.
