Hi I have been dual booting WinXP and L.Lite 1.0.8 / I now want to use L.Lite 2.6,
How do I delete linux partitions and prepare the disk for new install of L.Lite 2.6 to dual boot with Windows.

I have looked in archives without any results.

I want to activate my microphone.

Have LLV2.6 running on a Dell notebook, did this for Google Earth install
opened Terminal, entered:
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/curren...hLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
System went out and did the install, all worked fine.

Tried on another system, same steps, now system says it can't create folders and the /etc/gnome/defaults.list.new: permission denied.

what am I missing?

Hi Jerry,


Now that Ubuntu has gone the systemd (vomit) route, what are the plans for future versions of Linux Lite?

Hello! I have a problem. I have my linux lite installed on my HP pavilion p6 series. On the back I have 2 USB 3.0 ports. This is a PCI express card. I cannot find drivers for this. I eaven cant find whats the name of the card. I remmember that a had problems with finding drivers for win 7 but that is a long time ago. What can I do to get drivers? :/

Having just changed a hostname on 1 of my PC's thought I would share.
Maybe useful if you have made a mistake with the name, or you just want to change it, or you have "cloned" a VM in Virtualbox.


The hostname is the name of your computer, in a terminal you see,
dave@lappy:~$
"lappy" is the "hostname"


First make copies of the configuration files, in case you want to undo this:

Then you need to edit the "2" files below which have the "hostname" in them.
Edit the files and change the "old" hostname to the "new" hostname


Then


Now re-boot, and you now have a "new" hostname


"Important"
If you have set up network "sharing" on this PC you also need to change the "netbios name" to match the "new" hostame


First make copy of configuration file, in case you want to undo this:
Then


Edit the file and change the "netbios name =" from "old" hostname to the "new" hostname that you changed above


Now re-boot, your PC will now show on your network with a name that "matches" your "new" hostname
If you have created links to this PC from "other" PC's, you will also need to edit those links to match the "new" hostname.


If you wish to change back to the "original hostname", you will need to do the following:




The re-boot.


Remember to change back any links to this PC from "other" PC's,
you will need to edit those links again to match the "original" name.

How can I get gufw at startup?
type commend

As an IT old timer but Linux newbie I am embarrassed to have to ask this question but I have found no info:

Is there, and if yes, where is a list (or similar) of wireless USB adapters that LL 2.6 will work with out of the box?

Or can someone please just tell what make/model to look for?

I had bought some (cheap, sic!) wireless adapters with a Ralink chip. The installation instructions for Linux on the disk were so cryptic that I returned the gizmos.

TIA for any info.

Hi Everyone,

Does the Power Manager Icon, in the System Notification tray of the Panel, display the Battery Level of your wireless devices (e.g. Mouse/Trackball) when the pointer hovers over the icon?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Is iPhone Charging and Connectivity properly supported in LL 2.6?

Thanks!.
