Hi all,
        I have just installed " Kdepasswd " from the  " Lite Software Centre " it seems to have installed O.K. but I cant find it anywhere on the P.C. I have used " Run Program " and nothing happens. If I type a search for it in " Synaptic Package Manager " It shows as installed !
            I am running O.S. 1.0.8 Lite.

how do i unlock the screen if it locks up during an install?
...
well, i tried hitting restart, and i guess the install finished, because it is running fine; doing updates now
.
i chose it because it looks good, it works, and it doesn't use too many resources on my older laptop; when minimized, firefox plays last.fm using only 25% of cpu, which is decent compared to some others i have tried
.
it would be good to know how to get out of the screenlocker in the install/live version
.
tyvm, good so far

Hello,
I used LinSSID a while back in LL2 and it worked very well for scanning what wifi was about near to me.
Today when I try to use it for the first time in LL2.2, it does not appear to be working and I am unsure why, or how to solve this ?
This is what occurs -
1/ the program GUI does not open when clicked.
2/ a box pops up on the desktop instead that is like so -
    "password required for iwlist scan:"
Below this it reads -
"First Shot:"
and below this it has a space to type password
Below this it has cancel and okay buttons.
3/ if cancel is clicked a new box pops up reading "password fail"
4/ if something silly such as 1 character is entered it pops up a box as per #3 then as per #2 but reading "second shot".
5/ I looked up iwlist and it says it is a command for scanning wifi.

I am trying to test from home what set ups work best, and also experiment how a variety of combinations compare, and if I can connect to the any of the many free public access wifi that have no password. Later in the year I will also try to be using wifi when out/mobile sometimes.

In this instance the new kit I am trying to test is -
1/ a small wifi n dongle with 5dbi external antenna.
2/ an Alfa 7dbi panel antenna attached to my Alfa Awuso36h, I know this adapter works fine as it is what I have used in my previous exploring, I have also retried it using its 5dbi omni, and also a Yagi directional I have and the same occurs in LinSSID, in all tries, which is why I guessed it may be a software issue not hardware.

Here is a new one.....and I have done a little research on this but have no conclusion.

In the past I have installed VNC on my linux machine for remote desktop into my computer. After rebuilding this machine to LL 2.2 I decided to try Teamviewer 10 as a remote desktop app....since I have been using it for connecting to other systems for a couple years. It is much simpler to install and configure. However, it appears I cannot access the system from the outside when the screen is locked. When I first installed TV 10, I had no trouble accessing it during some testing, but the screen was never locked at that time. The last two times I have tried connecting remotely it has gone through the process of "initiating display parameters" but fails to actually connect. I can only assume this is due to the screen being locked locally.

Sooooo....what is the solution to getting this working correctly? And if there is no solution, is there a simplified method to get vnc running on LL 2.2.....as installing vnc seems to keep changing each time I have to rebuild, and I have to figure out how to get it to work again.

Thanks.

Is it possible with Linux Lite? Whenever I try and enable encryption the installer basically refuses to do so.

Here is my wallpaper.

I am looking to make a wall paper but what fonts are used I am making a WBGS and Linux Lite custom wallpaper.

Any way to install the latest AMD Drivers i am just wondering the omega ones and if so will they get good performance like ti is now if not I wont bother.

Hi, I am new to Linux Lite. Just installed it on an Intel NUC platform using the embedded MMC 4 gig "drive". All that is installed apart from the default is Opencpn, which is a navigation program. I have removed the office apps and now only have about 60 meg free. I am looking for information as to which files /apps / utilities I could remove to give me some space? I would like to install Chrome and remove Firefox as I use Chrome everywhere else and the way it syncs your everything is what I want. Is Chrome bigger than Firefox after installation?
