The keyboard shortcut listed in the manual to lock ones desktop is Super+L.  But mine was listed as follows:




I edited that entry with the xflock4 command.  And now the screen does lock with Super+L.  I guess it wasn't working before because I disabled Light Locker.

Just thought I would post a link to my latest review.

Hello everybody I want to share some plymouth themes (boot splash), I changed some parts for make a linux lite version  ,the base concept is here and here (Thanks Lozano Juan Pablo and Fabián Alexis).

Thank you Jerry ,Scott(0) and Charlie Henson for wallpapers and logos.

1- lite-color


2- lite-colorWB


3- lite-colorT


4- lite-colorTB


How to install  ???
Download here and extract on /lib/plymouth/themes/
On a terminal type ... (remplase "themename" with the name of the theme you want to install)

I used to see a popup notifying me that software updates are available.  I don't see that anymore on either of my PCs.  I know how to do it manually, but I am concerned for the people I helped get Linux Lite running.

Not sure about the rest of you, but Distro hopping is a bit of an addiction for me.  When all is said and done though it does serve to help me appreciate Linux Lite.  I always have one computer running LL but constantly try new Distros.  Some good, some not so good, some probably good but won't run on my hardware, some good but difficult to use or customize. Mint - you are great but still sometimes kind of finicky, xubuntu - fast but still a bit tough to get just how I want ... OpenSUSE - I really want to like you but you seem to make things difficult ... So far, nothing has been quite as usable, friendly, fast and worked so well, even on old finicky hardware others won't even load on!  All the little details cinch the deal ... the tweaks, the lite software center, right clicking to check md5s, etc. and still enough ubuntu in it's blood that everything works on it.


I generally experiment on some old boxes, but recently put LL 2.6 on my sort of newish (3 years old maybe?) laptop, and it it is so smooth and fast! Awesome.



Thanks Jerry and the rest of the team!

Does anybody have experience of using GetDeb.net..??
Issues/problem with it's use on LinuxLite

Can't seem to find the SOLVED  button at the bottom of thread .?? Is that just my display of forum or is it a general problem issue.

Hello All,


Just playing around with some other browsers & find that out of FireFox, Chromium, Dillo, Midori & Links 2 the only ones I can access the site & forums with are FireFox & Chromium.
Dillo will open some pages but I cannot login with it, Links 2 complains about an SSL error & Midori complains the SSL handshake fails.
I'm really starting to like Midori as it's superfast & although it's bookmark handling is poor the speed with which it does things makes up for that, in my humble opinion anyway.
Is this because the SSL support is a bit behind in these browsers?
Or is it the LL site & forums just don't play nice with them?

I just installed Linux Lite 2.6 on my son's computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. He has previously run L.L 1.06 on this machine for the last 2 years and Steam worked pretty well on it. I installed the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver, but Steam still will not launch. I also tried reinstalling it from a .deb file, and I've searched the internet with no answer. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I would like to upgrade the operating system on my Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop to 2.6 if possible and need some help. I think that this computer meets the minimum requirements but from what I have read I can't upgrade from this older version 1.0.6. So I think that I would download the ISO and boot from the flash drive and install a replacement version. That sounds easy enough but I am just a bit nervous and could use some advise. I take for granted that all added programs and files will be lost during this so I will save all I can and reinstall later.

Advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Les
