I have two dual boot ( win 8.1 /Linux Lite ) machines side by side - I can access shares on either with Windows or the Linux machines with the Windows BUT I can't figure out how to share between the two Linux boxes - Dolphin or Konqueror ask for passwords which I don't know.
How can I set up the two Linux boxes to share drives with each other ?
Thanks
Ralph
When i start virtualbox and startup the virtualmachine i get an error.
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv.
Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first.
This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.Added some terminal outputs:

Hi there,
I note this video from your friend.
https://youtu.be/zTTM9K7cmek?t=16m38s
about making bountysource a very good way to increase progress on this OS.
Please could you setup a github page and setup an issue list so that I can give to 'issues' for the next version of LinuxLite.
Thank-you. 
PS If you don't know what Bountysource is, then watch this video .. http://bit.ly/Bsource
If you are experiencing shutdown/logout problems and/or are experiencing unusually sluggish performance when trying to perform certain tasks (eg. using "gksu" to run a gui program as root) and have an AMD graphics card, below is a possible solution. (These types of problem do not apply to all AMD cards -- just a few. So if you are not having any problems, leave your system alone.)
Big thank you to member N4RPS for finding and posting this solution. Here is the original post he made while helping someone here on the forum. Below, I just copy/pasted everything he wrote in that post to here so that people can easily find this if it applies to them. (If this post helps you thank N4RPS, not me.)

Hello!
With some help from its creator, I was able to successfully complete the procedure documented in the YouTube video.
I created your script on the desktop, and made it executable. So far, it seems to work right away, This is very good, because in an actual install, the action button is just as slow to respond as the Whisker Menu is. Additionally, the gksu/gksudo command, or anything else requiring root password (except terminal sudo/su) takes 30-40 seconds to appear after being called on.

The Full Story: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1319220
Let's see... I had figured out that X11 had something to do with it - specifically, X11 as XFCE uses it. Misko's reference to the video driver was the missing piece of the puzzle.
If you're affected by this in LL and XFCE, creating the following file should fix it. If the fixes the OP's issue, then I guess this one can be flagged as SOLVED.
sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.confCopy the following lines, and paste them into nano with [SHIFT-CTRL-C]:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon"
Driver "radeon"
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
EndSection
Press [CTRL-O] then [ENTER] to save, and [CTRL-X] to exit. Reboot. For me, LL is now as snappy as it ought to be!
If anyone doesn't know what kind of video card they have, as you see below, if the output of
sudo lshw -c videosays AMD or ATI, please reply with the model number. This way, we can get an idea of which models are affected - and which ones aren't. We already know that Radeon HD 8250 is, but Radeon HD 6320 is not...

On my Samsung, which has no latency issues, this report also took a bit of time to generate. IT has a Radeon HD *6320*, and the width is *32 bits*. Same driver - radeon. (I wonder if THAT could have something to do with it?)
I sure hope an overall solution is out there for this. These long delays are going to drive me to forget about running LL on this particular netbook...

Thanks to Jerry, Gold Finger and all the other people who offer their help I now have LL set up and running really well.
Thanks All. 8)
Sorry if this has already been covered.
How can I change the wallpaper to one of my own photographs?
Thanks.
This is just a fine tweak for me because LL is running great now. ;D
I've bought a gaming laptop (has both UEFI & Legacy boot), an Asus G750JS, but am having problems installing LL2.4 properly in legacy boot, with either MBR or GPT partition table set-up. Though the install runs smoothly, on reboot the laptop does not recognize the 250GB SSD (sda) on which the \ partition is installed. Within the settings, the Boot order only lists the second 1TB SSD drive (sdb), where my \home & swap are installed, but not the 250GB SSD. Could this have something to do with LL not being UEFI supported? I'd rather stay with LL if there is a workaround for this, rather than opt for a another distro that's UEFI supported e.g. Ubuntu.
I did see the youtube video by Nehal J Wani, that Jerry put elsewhere in the forum on how to do a Win8.1/LL dual boot on a UEFI computer, but this seemed overly complicated and risky for an amateur like me, though I did make a transcript of the video for later reference just in case I'm feeling brave enough & have the time...
Many thanks for any help.

Mike
Hello
Having an issue after doing the first update via the icon. It just won't let me do a simple "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal.
It says that the official beryl repos are broken or unavailable , or old for some reason.
I unticked them from the repo list. And then everything was fine.
The pic from the repolist:

And yes. I have a valid DSL connection. No problems there.
Thank you in advance,
