I installed the subject office software but it does not show up in the Office Folder on the Menu but in another folder called Other.  Did that not install correctly?  I expected to be in the Office folder.  I did not see WPS as an option to install using the Lite software system.  Thanks.

Edit: Also, can you tell me if I can change the menu to move the WPS Office files into the Office Folder.  Thanks.

Hi
We have installed LL on a new (1TB) HDD in a Compaq Presario sr5412de desktop, it has 4gb ram and (I think) a dual core 1.8 cpu.
The LL install went without incident and all updates were loaded while it was online via cable.
I plugged in an Edimax EW-7811un  USB WIFI  and established a connection to our Netgear R6520 router, I didn't test it beyond checking if it can go online.
I then moved the computer to its workstation which is less than 10m line of sight from the router.

Unfortunately I have found the WIFI drops out randomly and doesn't automatically restart.  The only way to reconnect is to manually disconnected and then reconnect or restart the computer.  There doesn't appear to be a pattern associated with the WIFI failures.
I think the problem doesnt rest with the router because we also have an Easybox router running in the same area, switching the WIFI to the Easybox doesn't change the connect-fail problem.

Any suggestions appreciated;
Thanks.

Happens every time I remove kernels via Lite Tweaks. Is it normal bug? Or maybe it failed to remove some kernel files?

Just installed in virtual box and testing. Hoping this might become a replacement for Linux Mint which argues with me excessively.

Small amount of background on me.

First computer was a 64K dual floppy IBM PC in early 1984 or 1983, I forget.  Anyway, DOS 1.0, Basic 1.0.  Ordered the basic machine from Sears Business in Atlanta without floppy drives.  Ordered two Tandon drives from somewhere else and installed myself.

The kids at church are always telling me, "you know WAAAAYYYY too much about computers for your age!".  Smile

Hi folks,

With the new Help Manual well under way, we're looking for someone to help us finish the Glossary page.

From the Manual, we've gathered the following words:

Code:
3g alsa architecture bios compositing credentials decrypt desktop environment developer domain driver encrypt ext2 ext3 ext4 filesystem firmware free software fstab gnu gpt grub ip address kernel legacy linux logical partition mbr mount nas ntfs open source package partition ppa primary partition pulseaudio repo repository samba secure boot ssd su sudo terminal trim ubuntu uefi umount uuid vpn workgroup xfce

So that we can transfer the final result quickly to html, we need it to be in the following format:

In LibreOffice Calc, in 2 columns. First Column is titled Word, second column is titled Meaning.

[Image: Ym7guKL.png]

The Meaning should be around 10 words or less. It needs to be consise and simple. Please, no drawn out, paragraph explanations for each word Smile

Your name will appear on the Glossary page and the main page, so you will be credited Smile

Please reply to this thread if you are interested.

Thank you,

The Documentation Team.

Hi.
First visit here, thanks for hosting this forum, and thanks for this excellent Linux distro.
My fondest hope is to replace windows with Linux Lite.

I have encountered a small bug similar to kevin kane, here:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...fi-signal/
This post was moved here from kevin kanes topic.

When booting ver 2.4 from a live CD or a USB stick, the startup is a bit slow, and the shutdown does not finish.
The .iso hashes check OK.

Burned the cd using BurnCDCC in windows xp.
Boots and runs ok, but the shutdown is slow, and doesn't finish.  When the scrollbar finishes, nothing happens.
But after the scrollbar does finish, tapping the spacebar on the keyboard turns off the power to the desktop.

Installed to a 4gb Verbatim USB stick using YUMI version 2.0.1.6.  Didn't work.
Boots to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner.

Reinstalled to the USB stick using win32diskimager ver 0.9.2.
Boots and runs ok, but has the same shutdown issue as the cd.

Gparted running in ver 2.4 pops up an error saying "LibParted bug found!.  Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sdb."
Acronis Disk Director running in windows shows the USB to have one partition of 758 mb with an "Invalid format" error, and 2.99 gb of unallocated space. 

@ rokytnji
The USB install is a live session now, am hoping to get it to persistence.

More information about this machine, but this is not the machine that will eventually receive the installation:   
linux@linux:~$  inxi -Fxxxz
. . . details deleted by OP . . .
linux@linux:~$ ^C

New to Linux and while trying to burn a cd my XFburn has froze up and I cannot stop or end it.
I have had similar problems in the past and restarted, is there a way to kill an errant program similar to (ctrl, alt, delete)
