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

Code:
sudo apt-get install numlockx
Then you need to change /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file

Two ways to do it:
1. Run this command:
Code:
sudo sh -c "printf '\ngreeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on' >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"
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
Code:
sudo  leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
then add this line to the end of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file
Code:
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on

Additional info:
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx off
will disable Numlock on login screen
Code:
sudo  leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

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.
pauloz

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.

I can't play any videos on Amazon Prime.  I get a window that pops up stating, "An error occurred and your player could not be updated.  This is likely because your Flash Player or Browser needs to be updated.  This update is required to play back this video."  When I close out that pop up window, it shows something updating (on the Amazon web site) then I get the same pop up window again.  In my settings, I can choose from Silverlight or Adobe Flash Player.  Neither selection changes anything.

Hopefully this is a simple fix.  If not, I just wasted $100 on an Amazon Prime subscription. Sad

Hi,
  I have installed linux lite 2.2 on ESX5.5i.
  On the right lower left the network icon keeps trying to connect and always report "disconnected".
  Are VMWare Tools Installed by default ?

  During virtual machine creation I have choosed "Flexible" as network adapter. Is it the wrong one ?
