I'm using LL 2.4. For some reason the little clock in the lower right corner keeps jumping forward in time. I set the correct time which displays for a short while then jumps. Anyone know a solution for this?

Introduced a friend to Linux Lite, he's a "Hardcore Windows User", He decided to go with Linux Mint.


He's created a couple of programs in Lazarus(?) and some scripts with Thunar to create this Desktop
It remembers things and positions and a bunch of other stuff, to clever for me, it looks like this:

So I recently made the decision to expand my horizons and find a Linux distro that would be an alternative to the horror that is Windows 8/10.

Through out my life I've primarily been a Windows user, currently using Windows 7. However I'm not a 100% newbie, as I've used Unix/Linux before, and my job in is software development (though when it comes to Linux, at this point I'm more "aware" and "informed", than I am "experienced").

Long story short though, after previewing several live discs I narrowed it down to Linux Lite 2.4 and promptly installed it, I've been using it for about a week now, and so far I've been very happy with it. Everything is laid out well and intuitive, and even installing custom software/hardware has been a breeze.

I'm currently using this setup as a retro game development workstation, using SDL, CodeLite, Plastic SCM, Aseprite, SunVox, and sfxr, and things couldn't be smoother.

How do I uninstall Opera Browser.  When I right click icon it doesn't present a remove option as stated in the Linux Lite manual.

Hi to all LL Community!

Sorry for my bad English...

Maybe the Linux Lite project will consider opportunity of pre-installed LL 2.6 (and later...) and sales Linux-compatible hardware, such as nettops Intel NUC? It could add funds for development of the project. Site thinkpenguin.com sells Linux hardware, for example with pre-installed Linux Mint. I am use Intel NUC DN2820(2830)FYKH0 (2014 year), all works fine out the box in LL 2.4-2.6 Beta (some notes with Intel BIOS), now are available Intel NUC5CPYH (with 2-Cores Celeron) & NUC5PPYH (with 4-Cores Pentium).

[size=1em]Following my move to Linux, in the wake of XP's death, I had great difficulty in finding instructions on how to set up an Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner with Linux. In the end I did find instructions at the following link:

[/size][size=1em]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2195126[/size]
[size=1em]
I followed the instructions, in the above link, to the letter: the scanner now works very well in Linux Lite, though without all the additional benefits (e.g. scanning slides or colour film negatives, editing to remove blemishes from old photos, etc) that came with the scanner's Windows OS software. 

The above link may also work for other Epson scanners and maybe it's worth a try if you are having problems with scanner compatibility in either LL or other  Ubuntu-based distros.

I used Image Scan! for Linux (also known as iscan) to operate the scanner, which appears to come by default with the LL2.4 iso file package - just type iscan in the search box that appears as soon as you click on LL's Menu icon and you should see [/size][size=1em]Image Scan! for Linux appear in the menu's list of applications.
[/size][size=1em]If you have luck with the above link (i.e. with installing a scanner other than an Epson Perfection V500 with iscan software) it would be helpful to other readers if you mention the make & model and post them on this thread as a reference...[/size]

Many thanks

I found that using Lite Tweaks does a great job at cleaning things up.
I have also been "carefully" using Bleachbit, which offered a lot of translation files to remove.
On one PC that I use infrequently, but do keep up-to-date it had 900MB+ of extra files...!!
Having done some Googling it appears that apt-get pulls lots of translation/language files.
I also found away to limit the extra files, so far it appears to have reduced the extra files.
You may want to test this on Virtualbox, or a test box.


Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00aptitude
Then add this line to the file, there is a blank line at the end of the file
Code:
Acquire::Languages "none";
So it looks like:
Code:
Aptitude::Get-Root-Command "sudo:/usr/bin/sudo"; Acquire::Languages "none";

The apt-get update part went from @ 18~20 secs to 7~8secs
and Bleachbit finds no extra Language/Translation files to remove.


I should note, I have English only in my Language settings

I tried LinuxLite 2.4 LIveCD and 2.6 beta LiveCD on my old LG LW20-22DA notebook. The notebook has an Intel Pentium M 1.73GHz cpu, 1GB DDR2 ram and has Intel 915GM/ICH6-M chipset according to the service manual (tim.id.au/laptops/lg/lw20.pdf). The keyboard is non-responsive. When terminal or text editor is open, pressing any key doesn't type anything at all. I checked LinuxLite keyboard layouts but there's no suitable layout for my notebook which has 84 keys. The mousepad works fine and functional (can click at icons). I tried a lot of other popular distros. None of them have this problem. Windows XP and 7 also doesn't have this problem. Someone please help as I really want to make LinuxLite the Linux distro on my notebook after trying out many other distros.
