Hi I 'm new and I want to know How could I install LL in a computer with 2 hdd?, I mean, How should be the partitions? Both hard drives have the same features.  I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hi group,

I have been successfully upgrading a number of machine from LL 2.2 to 2.4 with the instructions in the new release announcement. My daughter's computer was one such machine that appeared to upgrade fine. However, when I try to run "Install Updates", it errors out with "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists."

Any ideas how to fix this and get it back to updating correctly?

Thanks

Linux Lite now packages and offers the Tor Web Browser for both 32bit and 64bit.

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install tor-web-browser

Menu, Internet, Tor Web Browser.

Have just developed an odd problem on a laptop running Linux Lite 1.6. I have been using it as my main PC but want to demote it soon, so detached it from my external monitor. For some reason now, I cannot get a display on the PC screen - if I detach it, on startup it displays normally, but after login goes to a dark screen with an immobile cursor on the extreme left-hand side. This is as if it is still starting up thinking it is the right hand side display (which it was), despite being detached from the external monitor, and freezing since there is no main display. I have removed the two monitor setup from the startup routine (which uses ArandR), but this has had no effect on the PC. If I restart with the monitor attached, it runs as it always did, fine, despite the startup routine being removed. The session isn't saved, so it isn't that either.

Is there a simple way to remind my laptop that it is an individual again?

my linux is mounting my dvd drive without me telling it to. doesn't happen every time i use linux but most. usually a half hour or so after boot. it recently started mounting one of my hd partitions too. what's up with this?

i use linux for web access as it is safer than the windows that i require for my games. this self mounting is kind of defeating the purpose if i am not at my desk to see it happen....

linux lite 2.4

firsttime user on Lite,
I'm very impressed with L-Lite, it is incredibly fast. I recommend it to all.

Question: In the Skype preferences I can't find the option; "auto-start with system".
I wondered, does linux, for safety reasons NOT allow an auto-start of Skype?
Or have I missed an option?

cheers, Cookee
