So you can pre order the new Intel Compute Stick with Ubuntu 14.04.
They have a higher spec version, seems they only do it with Win8.1.

I got a little excited over a LL Media Centre...
Somebody's tried putting Mint/Fedora on the 2GB version.
Apparently a note in the BIOS for Win8.1 & Ubuntu Only

I have a need to be able to map a serial port to an IP address. The situation is a Linux lite machine connected via USB to a GPS, this machine is connected to a router via Ethernet, a laptop is connected to this router via WiFi. The laptop needs to get the GPS data via an IP port. In windows this can be done using virtual serial port emulator. The laptop is not a problem, the Linux lite machine on the Ethernet is where I need a solution. Have tried without success to use serial port to network proxy.. Any ideas please?

Solution to fix broken HTML5 MP3 and M4A Firefox audio in Linux Lite, Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Gnome, Ubuntu-Mate and Lubuntu
Test sites: (1) https://html5test.com/
(2) http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/
(3) http://www.gooplusplus.com/jukebox
SYNAPTIC - add gstreamer1.0-libav (or gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly)
or Ubuntu Software Center - add Gstreamer extra plugins
BTW, Xubuntu and Kubuntu Firefox HTML5 audio already works fine and plays MP3 and M4A files (instead of downloading).
i, im trying to install last driver omega form amd and the log show this error .
"NOTE: If your system has logged the missing packages required for installation, install them in the order as per the log file to resolve package-dependency issues.
fglrx installation requires that the system has kernel headers. /lib/modules/4.0.0-linuxlite/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system.
Install kernel headers using the command apt-get install linux-headers-4.0.0-linuxlite."
the headers are already installed , this the question ?

A script for the thunar custom action that displays the file permissions and can change them.
Technicaly, it will work with directories but will not change them recursively. The files and directories inside will remain unchanged.
Also it works only for a single file.
This is not something I would recommend to someone who doen't understand file permissions.
Be carefull about symbolic links! Never use this on them! chmod changes the permissions of the pointed-to file.

Hello, All!
I recently had to fill out some online fillable PDF forms, totalling almost twenty pages worth. (Back in the day, I didn't fill out NEARLY that many pages to get one of the highest US security clearances available, so go figure!)
I tried Evince, but it doesn't seem to handle fillable forms at this time. The folks at Evince are working on it, but until they figure it all out, it seems as if there are instances (usually government forms) when nothing else but Adobe Reader will do.
Fortunately, as of this date, Adobe Reader is still in the Ubuntu repositories. In a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T],
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroreadIf it's removed from the repositories at some later date, for now, it can also be found here. Again, in a terminal window:
cd ~/Downloads && wget http://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5./en/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
sudo gdebi AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.debThis will download the .deb into the '~/Downloads' folder. From there, the terminal will ask for confirmation, and will then install it if you answer 'y'.
Hope this helps...

Did an install today dual boot. Its a generic desktop, I believe its an AMD dual core, 3gb ram and 500gb HD. Everything installed very smoothly, no glitches at all. After a few reboots/shut-downs now it wants to hang on restart into Linux. It will be blackscreen and you see the cursor and it does nothing. It doesn’t do it every time but it does it enough its an issue. You see the feather and do the log in and then it hangs. Any suggestions welcomed.
I've successfully installed Linux Lite 32bit in an old HP laptop (pentium IV, 685MB ram). I'm very impressed: this distro worked out of the box without hiccups, recognized all the hardware, is good looking and amazing fast. I will keep Linux Lite in this laptop as the only OS.
I have installed previously here Peppermint 3 (also very fast) and Linux Mint 13 Xfce (fast, but less than Linux Lite).
Linux Lite 2.4 is LTS and will be supported until 2019, that is more than the (probable) lifespan of my laptop...
Thanks to the developers, nice work!
LL system update script is using apt-get:
/usr/scripts/updates
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeAs I was trying out Debian Jessie lately I noticed that aptitude seems to be considered a better choice to do system updates than apt-get because it offers smarter handling of dependencies and has some other benefits. The equivalent command would be:
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgradeI have done a test run of both commands (actual updates were aborted) and the output is quite different:
apt-get:

aptitude:

I'm wondering what experts think about all this.
The UEFI enabled dual-boot has been working very well. Each OS is symlinked to a second drive where my data files are stored.
Following boot-up to the grub screen, and choosing the LL option, LL has at the progress bar screen.
Pressing F4 shows apparently shows at which stage the boot-up is stuck at. The last two lines read as follows:
Starting Enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices
Stopping Read required files in advance
The odd thing is, if I turn off secure boot and fast boot, it will boot into LL. I would like to get UEFI back as it makes a significant
difference to both speed and the quality of the graphics (goldfinger, unfortunately, I hadn't got to cloning my EFI partition yet!)
I wondered if someone could help me to get this fixed from the live environment with an LL.iso DVD - I'm clueless in this department...
Many thanks
Mike
