Has the outlay of the whisker menu changed? It now says Applications instead of Menu and is actually upside down..before all settings, lock screen, switch users and log out icons where on the bottom right and now they are on the top right.


Not sure if its me or that the whisker menu has changed and i missed something along the line.

I've never used Linux seriously, but I want a lightweight version of it for using GCC for my studies. I have a few questions:

1) Who is maintaining the software repositories? Aren't they the same as Ubuntu? Why is the Geany version I installed two years old? Is it the same with most apps?

2) Why is the update checker just a text dump with no options?

Bonus:
3) Why couldn't I use my yahoo.com email account to register on this forum?!

Hi...

New to this forum. I'm a Linux user, but not a super technical user.

I've installed Linux Lite 2.4 32 bit in the encrypted drive option. However, most(not all) attempts to boot produce a feather image over a creeping or not moving progress bar which doesn't reach the passphrase prompt. Sometimes manually turning it off and restarting brings up the passphrase prompt. I reinstalled thinking this the easiest solution, but no better. The same problem exists.

All internet searches have come up dry (if I searched right, that is). Any pointing in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I downloaded a driver from Alfa in regards to my new AWUS036AC wireless usb. It is a linux driver and since I am so new at this linux os there are many things I need to learn.  ;D I opened it and had no idea where to extract it to. I looked at some of the "read me" files and it looked like I had to enter the info into a terminal. I am not sure about that. I have a Toshiba laptop with intel i-3 processor and HD 4000 graphic hardware. I am not sure about what to do to get this usb wireless to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

:'( :'(Is there any way a user can pick and choose the software updates available at any time? Some systems have little boxes

next to each update label and update purpose. In other words, let the user decide whether he or she wants any particular

update. As for LinuxLite, is this a possibility at all??

I'm not sure if everyone knows this or not, but I recently learned that [tt]apt[/tt] can do just about everything that [tt]apt-get[/tt] can do and with a bit more style.

Quote:Basic commands:
list - list packages based on package names
search - search in package descriptions
show - show package details

update - update list of available packages

install - install packages
remove  - remove packages

upgrade - upgrade the system by installing/upgrading packages
full-upgrade - upgrade the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages

edit-sources - edit the source information file

The screen brightness appears to be fixed (at maximum level) on the Asus G750JS with LL2.4.  I would like to be able to adjust the brightness, e.g. dim it.
The fn key + f5 or with f6 doesn't appear to work, neither does fn + arrow keys.

Any help on this one much appreciated.

Regards
Mike

I installed LL2.4 as a UEFI enabled dual boot system with Windows 8.1.  I have two physical drives.
LL was installed as root with Win8.1 on SSD drive 1.  Data files are shared between both OSes,
using symlinking to SSD drive 2.

I would now like to transfer 'home' from root and install it as a separate /home partition to
unallocated space on the SSD drive 1.  The reason I want to do this is so that the configuration files
in a separate /home partition preserve my settings, rather than these being wiped out each time
I replace LL2.4 with new LL releases.

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi all. Was wondering if there is a way to get finer control of the volume. I think the steps are 5db each if I recall, maybe like 2.5 would be helpful. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks ahead of time.
