I have Linux Lite 2.6 installed on an old IBM ThinkPad A31p which doesn't have an internal wireless adapter, so I purchased a cheap USB adapter on Amazon, brand unknown. It came with a CD with the driver, but I don't know how to install the driver from the CD. I have tried to use the GDebi package installer, but got this error:
dpkg: error processing archive firmware-ralink_0.43_all.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/lib/firmware/rt3290.bin', which is also in package linux-firmware 1.127.15
Errors were encountered while processing:
firmware-ralink_0.43_all.deb
Can anyone help me? Thanks
Okay I am boot both linux lite 32bit and 64bit version off of a single usb using yumi. What would be the easiest way to get data persistence on both versions? If possible I would like to have more than four Gigs of storage.
Hi folks,
There was a major security upgrade to the Forums today. In the interests of getting this patch applied as quickly as possible, there was a minor casualty in the process.
You will need to re-apply your Country flag if you want it to show.
Go to: Profile -> Forum Profile to reselect your country.
If there are any other bugs from todays upgrade, please let me know in this thread.
Apologies for this 
Hello ! I am new to this forum. Recently been using Linux lite 2.6 on an old laptop Acer aspire 5100. This system I really like it, works well and fast. But there is a problem-when you try to install the update throws an error message -" could not fetch the package cache information lists". Is there a solution to this problem? Still can't log in Lite Software. Perhaps the problem is that I live in Crimea? Thanks in advance for your help.
I hope I'm in the right place for this question. I have a picture I want to make my background. I've followed the instructions, at least I think I did, but can't get my picture to move from the usb finger drive to the folder that holds the background pictures. At 77 I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, but I can usually muddle through things and get them to work. I can't seem to quite catch this one.
Thanks,

Hello everyone. I have been using systemback since I upgraded to LL 2.6. Great tool, however
I need to backup TO my Debian home server with SMB share drives. I searched launchpad systemback info for "network backup" and got no results. I see no point in backing up locally, if my HDD fails it is all gone.
Maybe backup then transfer the backup to my server ?
Is this possible or is there an easier/different way that I am missing ?
Hi guys,
I've got a compound problem with the Whisker Menu. I have a portable Windows .exe utility that I store in the /opt hierarchy. I can access and execute it in Thunar with one click without problem. But I didn't want to go looking for it each time, so I opened the Main Menu configurator and added a launcher to it.
The first problem is that the launcher fails with "permission denied". I can't figure that out since it launches from the file manager without elevation.
The second problem is that though I can see the launcher in the Main Menu, it is not present in the configurator, so I cannot edit or delete it.
Any help sorting this out would be appreciated. 
Hi Guy's. I need a new photo printer. Have been looking at the Cannon MG4250 all in one. It would suit my needs and the price is not too high. Just £49. But.......How can I make it run on my Linux Lite? I read that Cannon do have the drivers for Linux, so in theory I could do this, but I need assurances before I lash out the £49 to buy it. I am hopeless at downloading and installing drivers. Got LL 2.2 and have still not been able to get it up and running (Sorry Dave) and the thought of trying to coax my Dell Optiplex GX260 to accept this software is keeping me awake nights. I am that scared. At 82 I should be in my golden years, enjoying everything, but I am not. Does anyone have any advice? Is there any member in the Hull area maybe as I am too ill to travel more than a couple of hundred yards. Can I just throw this into the melting pot and hope? Regards Walt
Hello, I do not know how to make python accessible/active. I would like to place it into my main menu of programs, but how do I do this?
Sorry if this is not clear enough, I am new to Linux & appreciate any help & education.
Thanks, jola
Sorry, I left (but bounded to come back someday). I booted LL 2.6 and wifi didn't work OOTB - I know, I know, add the driver - and got lazy and booted up + installed Korora 22.
LL is a great distro - you are bounded to see me again as I tend to distro-hop every year or so.
