Running Lite 32 bit updated on my old Toshiba laptop. Runs good and quick.

I installed dropbox from synaptic. Never have gotten an icon to show up in the tray. Now lately every time that I boot after about 30 or 45 seconds I have to enter my password so that dropbox can run.  In other computers I have always right clicked the tray icon and got to the settings.How do I get to the settings to tell it to remember my password?

Thanks

Cannot get cryptkeeper to work. There is no startup icon .... no key nor blank page.

I have been using this program for some time in Netrunner and Zorin 7 lite with no problems. But it doesn't start (with an icon) in Linux Lite 2.4 Sad

Just installed Linux Lite yesterday with no issues.

Hello, All!

For those of you who run Windows as a dual-boot with Linux, or for those who otherwise need to check Windows files and directories for malware, ClamAV is the best, free alternative to most all the antivirus programs I've tried. Sure, there are others out there like Comodo, AVG, Avast, and Avira, but I've found ClamAV to be the easiest choice to install and live with. You can even create a Live USB with persistence, install ClamAV, and us it as a stand-alone virus cleaner stick for any PC that will boot from USB!

ClamAV can be found in the repositories, and is installed as follows, using a terminal window {CTRL-ALT-T]:

Code:
sudo apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon clamtk

For those who live on the 'cutting edge' of software, here's the PPA (which, by the way, still doesn't install the latest ClamAV GUI):

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon clamtk

You can live with ClamTK saying the GUI is not the latest version and get by just fine, but if you can't stand the indication, here goes.

To install the latest ClamTK (ClamAV GUI), here's the link to the version 5.19 .deb file, which can be installed with GDebi:

https://bitbucket.org/dave_theunsub/clam...-1_all.deb

In any case, after initial installation, you will need to call

Code:
sudo freshclam

in a terminal window to fetch the latest virus signatures - which could take a few minutes, depending on your system.

Hope this helps someone...

Uninstalling Wine via Lite Software doesn't seem to do so completely.  I usually have Winetricks or other remnants afterwards.  I have to go to Install/Remove Software and remove anything associated with Wine.  I've noticed similar performance when installing and removing Play on Linux via Lite Software.

The Linux Lite Repository is currently down. This affects updates and software installations of linux lite software.
We hope to be back up soon.

When I click on "appearance" I only see 3 themes.
If I navigate to the "themes" folder there are many more listed.
Why aren't they showing up in "appearance"?

Thanks

Steam installed on my main SSD, but I want games to be saved to another internal SSD.
When I bring up steam and try to download a game it gives me a chance to designate the drive to save to.
When I navigate to the drive it says "drive must be writeable".
Evidently the permissions on the drive are wrong.

How can I correct this so I can save to correct drive?

Thanks
