Went away for a while and ended up using the ubuntu LTS - which STILL sucks lol
Glad to be back on LL.
Still as fast !
I am building a media center pc for a church I go to. I plan on using Linux lite because of price, usability, stability, and security. The idea I have is to install vlc, and google chrome on top of Linux Lite, and use HDMI to connect it to a tv. Then us a wireless mouse and keyboard so that it can be controlled from some distance away. I will be using vlc to play disks or any other files on the local computer, and google chrome to stream off of youtube, netflix, etc. Would this set up work? If not, what other software should I use?
When I change icons from Faenza to Humanity or Humanity-Dark, there is no icon for:
Mouse and Touchpad.
When I select Oxygen, the missing icons include:
CD/DVD Burner
Create System Report
Disable Auto Login
Help Manual
Install Drivers
Install Updates
Lock Screen
Run Program
Steam Driver Information

That's all about me
Done sudo fdsk -l
Does not show up.
Has been detected on this machine in the past. some months ago. .
How can I force detection of this Micr SD card. Wish to transfer music files to the Micro SD - The latter is working on mobile phone - windows OS
Thanks
PS computer is recognising/reading other usb sticks OK
MicroSD Card is OK in phone - just retested - so presume it is OK.
Hello,
I don't know how it happened, but instead of the default notifications I have a text only notification in the top left corner with blue background and light blue text. It stays on screen for cca. 10 seconds, regardless of the setting in Settings > Notifications > Disappear After [5] seconds; it's position is also unaffected by this settings screen. Changing the theme here had no effect.
It's length is cropped at around the third screen width.
In trying to fix this I've reinstalled xfce4-notifyd and rebooted, but that did not help.
I've noticed that it does not appear in Settings > Session and Startup > Application Autostart, but that might not have anything to do with it, as starting applications is handled at many different stages by many different systems.
Any advice?
EDIT: I understand that Linux Lite is not configured to install other WMs.
On a Vista-era machine with an Intel 945G chipset, LL is apparently running generic drivers. Everything seems good, but I would like to know if it is feasible to install the proper Intel drivers. I came across instructions here. What I would like to know is if it hoses the system, how could it be undone in LL? My alternative would be to take a disk image using a boot disk program.
Thanks.
When I left-click on my Skype Icon in the panel (down at the bottom right of the screen), the Skype Popup menu only pops up with about three entries, and the rest have to be scrolled up or down to get to them. This is probably about the most minor question I can think of to ask, but it is mildly irritating to me since there are so many entries in it, and "activate" and "quit", the ones I most frequently use, are at opposite sides of the list.
On another computer I have a KDE install (pclinuxos) where this doesn't occur - the whole menu pops up. Is there anything I can do to get the *full* menu to pop up on left click in Linux Lite?
thanks!
This is more than likely a problem with Firefox and not Linux Light as it appears to be a problem on other O/S.
Firefox had problems with 38 and I was grateful to quickly find that 39 was readily available from the software package manager in LL. Downloaded it and it has been crashing ever since. Tried to fix with ALL their suggestions to no avail. It crashes almost immediately and constantly and is basically unusable. Tried fresh download and if anyone might have a suggestion other than the ones recommended by Firefox I would love to hear them. Using the only alternatives I have left which is Google Chrome which crashes on hulu 30 mimutes into video with regularity (as it does also in opera) as both are based on Chromium and I have to use Epiphany for hulu and other videos.
I just ran an install of 2.4 x86 on a Compaq F750, a Vista-era machine. Everything seems very nice, except for some networking weirdness.
As soon as I configured the wifi card, LL prompted me for a Keyring password. This was odd, because I wasn't setting up a network share. I've never run across this before. And as I suspected, every time I boot the keyring password is required, according to the ubuntu(?) bug.
There's a second problem too. The wifi adapter is set to autoconnect, but it doesn't. I have to connect it manually at each boot. Networking is turned on, and the wifi network's credentials are remembered, but connection is not automatic.
