Have not been receiving e-mail notifications of responses on last two topics I posted which are set for notify. Still getting all new posts notifications by RSS feed.

Also another minor problem is that my post count has been stuck at 274 for some time after more post. No biggie. I not in a competition. 

I'll start of by saying I've been using Linux Lite for a while so I'm quite familiar with it's comings and goings. When 2.4 came out I immediately ran the Lite Update in 2.2 on my htpc it upgraded with no issues. On an SSD it runs great. I have a smaller PC, Athlon 5350/ASrock MB, that i decided to install it on and therein lies my dilemma. I can boot into Linux Lite via USB stick or Dvd and loads up fine but I can't log out. I keep gettings this message

received error while trying to logout
did not receive a reply. possible causes include:the
remote application did not send a reply. the message
bus security policy blocked the reply. the reply
timeout expired or the network connection was
broken

after this, I tried every route possible to get it right.

3 different usb drives
5 different linux usb install apps (including the windiskimager recommended by the LL team)
1 burned dvd via dvd drive/usb
Xubuntu/LXLE/lubuntu all installed without issue
Actually installing Linux Lite...reboot and it still hangs and gives the error message
I tried the same with the old Linux Lite 2.2...usb or dvd...same error message
My HTPC it runs great, no issues, older phenom II and my laptop (Intel)...loads and runs fine...no errors

the error message usually takes about 2 or 3 minutes to pop up. If I just surf or run the apps on the Live dvd or USB drive, it runs fine. As soon as I click on the log out/off button...it hangs and the above mentioned issues happen. Is this due to the newer hardware (CPU/MB) ?

I think Linux Lite has the best balance between Lubuntu and Xubuntu. It's a shame I can't get it running on this little pc...any ideas?

I like the Mate System Monitor better than the default Gnome because it has a System page. Anyone know how to change the Mate image to a Linux Lite image and get it to show Linux Lite 2.4 that I am using?

How about replacing the Gnome System monitor with the Mate System Monitor? It is a fork of the Gnome System Monitor and as far as I can tell it is the same except it still has a System tab.



Of course, the Mate image would have to be replace with a Linux Lite image and fixed so it would show Linux Lite instead of Ubuntu. (Linux Lite 2.4 is on computer not Ubuntu 14.04.0 Color is from my theme BleuFear.

Hello,
I've been a Linux user for some years having ditched Windows a long long time ago. I'm not a Linux pro by any means though and still consider myself a numpty! ;D My main distro has been Peppermint Linux in various incarnations for some years now but I tried Linux Lite 2.1 last year on a spare drive after seeing it on a magazine disc. I liked it but I couldn't get it to run coming up with a boot error which was documented on the Linux Lite forums at the time. I just happened to be looking at Distrowatch a couple of days ago and was surprised to see v2.4 on there and promptly downloaded the 32bit version and installed it on the same spare drive.

I can now boot and use the distro but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's stable. I had a kernel panic last night when it crashed out of YouTube and dropped to a text shell. I had to REISUB out as I couldn't find any way to exit from the shell. Also when I want to log off it seems to become very very laggy and more often than not I have to REISUB to shutdown or restart.

I do like the distro, it being very similar in a lot of ways to Peppermint. I hope I can work through the niggles as I'm sure that's all they are and get to the point where it becomes easier to use.

Thanks to all for what promises to be a good experience,

Regards,

Dave.

Run backup (deja-dup) for the first time. Took a long time for the first run; Several hours. Not sure why so long- To back up on previous LLs versions, I  have previously copied my user files direct to an external HDD and the process was reasonably quick.
  i) Have I done something wrong - I did not encrypt the deja-dup .
2)  Also the deja-dup folder is now taking a lot of  what was the previously free disk space on my pc.  Can I just cut and paste the deja-dup folder to my external hard drive to free up the disk space? Or do I have to re-run this time specifying another destination?

Quick scan of 2.4 manual I could not find instruction or Q/A on deja-dup.  Have I missed them or are they still "in progress"

Thanks

At the weekend I thought I'd experiment a bit with creating a GPT partition table, as sometimes I would like multiboot more than 4 operating systems which I'm limited to with the more conventional MBR partition table.

Using my Asus X71Q laptop (made in 2008, so predates UEFI), setting up several primary GPT partitions (more than 4) was straightforward enough using Gparted.  However the problem came if I tried to install Win 7 or Win 8.1 on the first partition.  The message came back that I was unable to install to a GTP partition.  I find this strange, as on more modern laptops (e.g. Asus G750JS), Win 8.1 comes pre-installed on a GPT disk.  So how did the manufacturers achieve this?  I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

I didn't have this problem when I installed LL2.4 to the first GPT partition.

Many thanks for any help with this.
Kind regards
Mike

I have no problems setting up file sharing between a windows 7 guest in a LL2.2 host, using Oracle Virtualbox, having already done this a few times on different laptops.

However, when the guest is changed to a distro e.g. ubuntu 14.04, with LL2.2 host, I have problems setting up file sharing.  The problem is something like this...

... the 'Guest Additions' appear to install correctly.  However, when I go to...
Browse Network (within the guest) → Lappy → linuxliteshare, 
a window opens up with a password request for linuxliteshare.  However when I put my Administrator password in this doesn't seem to work.

Any clarification much appreciated.
Kind regards
Mike

Was trying to remove mugshot and name from top of Whisker menu and I think I somehow messed up something - I can't remove the generic mugshot - first I unchecked it @ properties settings...and after reboot was still there - I think I inadvertently deleted the profile name. If I click 'about me' in settings menu, I get nothing now. The generic mugshot is still there tho.

However, in the user manager' I'm still listed. still trying to remove the mugshot. Don't know if I need to re-install or recover something.

A friend of mine has Ubuntu 14.04 installed on his ageing Acer laptop - it's going OK but he wants an OS that has a familiar "feel" to Windows XP or 7. I've mentioned LL and I'm going to suggest LL 2.4 32 bit to him. Can somebody advise the best method to fully install LL 2.4 on to his laptop? I was going to try a live USB first but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Thanks in anticipation.
