Hi eveyone, installed v. 2.2 as sda11 on multiboot with winXP, 2xMints and 2xUbuntus and all is fine. But after running Boot-Repair-Disk to change boot order I get 'error: filename expected. Press any key to continue' but no booting. Enter brings back the boot menu. The other OS'es boot as normal. PC is 4 core HP Z400. What to do?, I am no expert. Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I was wondering if there is software or any other way to give me not only more gestures options using touchpad, but also give me more options to customize it, by setting up speed and sensitivity.


I have Elantech touchpad(Smart-Pad), that support multi-touch, and on windows I could set up simple gestures based on not only direction but also number of fingers and even pressure.

And I dont need fancy gestures like pinch or drawing, I need more control over sensitivity of swiping up/down left/right and if its possible settings for number of fingers(two finger scroll, three middle click etc)


Standard options in LL are good, it support two-finger scrolling from the start  but it lack of more advanced options like sensitivity of every gesture and finger clicks. For now  scrolling left-right is more like hit and miss between scrolling up/down or moving page 100 light years to the left or right. And beside that I really miss shortcuts for 3-fingers actions...


I was searching on google for elantech linux support or any multitouch support but most of those are about simple two-finger scrolling fix, but that LL recognize from the start...

Also I tried touchegg app but it doesnt even build GIU that it have (and setting up it from console is beyond me or its just impossible)

Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open Terminal
First you need to install the package numlockx. Type in:

Then you need to change /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file

Two ways to do it:
1. Run this command:
It will add this line greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on at the end of the file.

2. Open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file with superuser privileges
then add this line to the end of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file

Additional info:
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx off
will disable Numlock on login screen

Hi,
  I have tried again to install the latest 32 bit linux lite on my ESXi dual Xeon.

  Configuration is simple: 1 processor-2 cores; 2GB of memorym,9 MB of graphic ram, 32GB Lazy Zeroed HArd Disk Image, E1000 Net Card.

  Previously I have selected a net with no external access, now the net has proper external acces and DHCP

  I install as follow:

  Install and erase disk (auto partitioning)
  Language Italian
  KeyBoard Italian
  Password: YES
  Autologin
  Auto Load Updates
  Install 3rd party utilities

  Linux Lite install and reboot but it does not go to the desktop. The boot screen stops when the screen bar is fully loaded and does not do anything else.

  Also, I have encountered the following problem: if I ask to cypher the virtual disk the LMI boot loader does not install and the disk becomes "unaccessible".

  Regards,
    Giuseppe Chillemi

1) If the target is a dell d600 , non PAE system  with pentium M, is the
32 bit disto ok for this system?  (linux mint 17.1 32 bit is really not stable
for its support for non PAE systems- I tried it)

AND,

2)  The .iso file is 772MB but my cd/R capacity is only 727 mb.  Is there another way
to make the .iso then other than sending for one in the mail?

Hello fellow Linux Liters
I'm doing my best to get the message out to my friends and family just how good LL is - they all share the same problems concerning Windoze, namely slow, sluggish etc and want to do something about it but are not prepared to take that leap of faith. The one question I'm often asked is what anti-virus software, malware etc is available and I tell them it's not needed. They look at me incredulously but the problem is I can't elaborate on my response. Just what can I tell them? Is it because Linux is not targeted as it's market share is tiny compared to Windows & Mac? Or is there something else I can sell them?
Another question, am I able to check out all my postings in one place on the forum?
Looking forward to LL 2.4 - keep up the great work.

Hi All,
With Lite 1.0.8 I was given the following instructions to make a guest account the default login.

Go to “Menu”. Then “Run Program” at top of menu
      Type the word Thunar, then click “Run”
In left window click on “File System”
Then double click “etc”, find the “lightdm” folder, right-click it to “Open as
Administrator”. Enter the password. Find the “lightdm.conf” file and
Open with “leafpad”.
Find the line :
“autologin-user=linux” and replace with “userid” (don’t include the quotes)
Do a File Save, then File – Quit.
Close all remaining windows.

THIS IS NO LONGER AN OPTION TO SET BY THIS METHOD.
In Lite 2.2, how do we do the same thing?  ???

Hello,

I found out Steam is eating my game's performance, a lot! For example the mentioned Warzone 2100, downloaded from Ubuntu repositories. I don't even run this game from the non-steam library, I'm just starting it normally through whisker menu and Steam is running in the background. I have a low FPS while Steam is running, EVEN IF STEAM STAYS AT LOGIN SCREEN MINIMIZED! If I shutdown Steam completely, FPS is back to normal. What is this? I can run many apps on the desktop and background, web browser playing videos on youtube, which eats a lot of CPU, and yet I get full speed. Only Steam is acting stupid (I even looked in the task manager, there's not any suspicious CPU usage by Steam).

I'm using the free GPU drivers, proprietary drivers ain't available to me. I don't think drivers are the issue though, since only Steam is doing this.

My CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6GHZ, GPU is ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 256MB, 2GB RAM.

Please note I even tried SwatX, Oibaf and xorg edgers PPAs, no change.
Newest CPU microcode is installed.

Funny is, like I said, it happens when Steam sits on the login screen too, which shouldn't really eat anything.
I have running Skype, FireFox etc in the background, yet no slowdown.

Did anyone experience this with ther free GPU drivers and low-lower end PC/laptop?

Note I already asked for help on the Steam forums, but I was immediately attacked and named troll by the immature Steam community.
