Wondering if I did something to my system. The other day I made the mistake of doing a "system upgrade" within SystemBack. Lovely program, but I wish it had better documentation. My fault, but I was careless and let it remove some stuff.


Now I can't extract .gz files. I think I was able to before. Is that correct? I did a System Restore using SB, but it didn't help this problem.


Thanks.

Maybe its luck of the draw or since its close to Halloween..  :o



Anyone superstitious  :-X

Greetings and Salutations,

  I have just installed Linux Lite on my Compaq PC, Everything went great until I tried to log into steam via the game manager provided with the installation of linux lite. Everything froze, then after about 20 seconds of wondering what I had done to cause this issue, the screen changed to little repeating echos of the screen all over at a bit of a angle. I tried moving the mouse to see if something on the mini screens now all over the monitor would move and nothing. I turned the system off and restarted, I tried steam again, exact same result. I decided to post on the forum and before doing so I thought to gather the system information to post along side the incident report. well guess what, as soon as I finished deciding where to save the file to, and it began to run the scan, boom, same deal. So I opened the computer and got what information I could. It has 2 gb ram, an AMD Athlon x2 cpu, and some variety of nvidia graphics though I don't see a stand alone card so might be the onboard. Please help!

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Tycho

Firefox uses version 11.x in Linux Lite.  So until you see a security update for that (they’re saying sometime next week), you might want to consider using Chromium or Google Chrome for browsing.

Democracy and freedom, eh?

Hello Linux lite friends.

When my windows pc died i decided to give this Linux stuff a try again. I had tried to install mandrake linux about a decade ago, on a laptop i had back then. It was horrible, video wasn't supported and i had to change the config file and even then most of the hardware wasn't supported. I decided linux wasn't for me.

But now i thought lets see how things have changed, and wow i must say things work a lot better i mean really a lot. It almost all just works on first install.

I needed a lightweight distro and so Linux Lite was my first choice. I tried ubuntu, Debian, mint etc. But Linux Lite is my first and biggest love it seems.
I really like the tools to install extra software and config samba. I love how clean the installation is. If i need more stuff i just add it myself.

And i even had to reinstall it, because it messed up my groups and couldn't do sudo anymore.  :-\
Well i guest that is part of learning how to do stuff.

TL;DR;
Linux lite team, thanks for all the hard work.

Hello! I'm trying to expand my knowledge on Linux-like operating systems, and coming from a Windows background, I thought Linux Lite would be a good place to try. So far I'm pretty impressed with just how lightweight it is. I do have some questions regarding as to how to configure it, though.
I'm using version 1.0.6, (mainly because I like the style, and for the compiz-fusion-addon compatibility. Gotta have my eye candy  8)).

How can I configure the login and boot screens? Such as changing what wallpapers are used, where the images for them are located, and how to change them? I know how to change my userface, but nothing else. I also know how to change the desktop settings, but configuring the login page seems a lot less straightforward. I'm aware of the /usr/shared/xfce4/backdrop directory, but that seems to contain only the desktop background images, not the login or boot screen images.

Is there an easy way to use LinuxLite to repair Win 7 password without using a CD or USB .


A third party has locked me out of Win 7 which is dual booted with LinuxLite . I have tried several Bootable repair Disks which have either failed to boot properly or require Input details which I am not able to supply .

I recently installed Linux Lite 2.6 on my son's computer that ran L.L. 1.6 before. I installed Wine and PlayonLinux using 'Lite Software' utility, and then copied the '.wine' and '.PlayonLinux' folders from the backup to his new home folder. I couldn't find any other configuration folders for Wine in '.config' or '.local/share', so I assumed all his games he used before would be available. But Wine will not run. If I right-click on any '.exe' file, it shows Open with Wine, but the mouse pointer/wheel spins for about 20 seconds and then stops and nothing happens.
In the Whisker menu it shows Wine, Winetricks and PlayonLinux, but nothing will launch.
So I just uninstalled Wine and PlayonLinux using Lite Software, then ran 'sudo apt-get autoremove' which got rid of some other Wine-related stuff.
Can anyone tell me what I should do now to get Wine installed and working? Should I install it again using Synaptic? Should I remove the previous configuration files I copied from the backup?
Wine is confusing the heck out of me, especially since it worked fine before with L.L. 1.6!
(I'm using the 32 bit version of Linux Lite).
