In Linux Lite 2.4, configuring Network Share Settings is greatly simplified. All you will have to do is, Menu > System > Configure Network Shares, enter your password and follow the prompts.

This is a significant milestone for Linux Lite as this marks the end of any terminal based apps in LL.
It's been a long, rewarding road from Linux Lite 1.0



See this video for a look at how it will work:

Hi,

Not sure whether the forum software is 3rd party and can't be changed/ customized...

If yes, I'd like to suggest the following improvement to the "Recent Posts" section:

* add a scrollbar so that the user can scroll down the list of recent posts to find a little bit older ones
* maybe summarize all consecutive posts of the same topic in one line with a count

reason: The section is very small and only shows the last 7 posts. Quite often I can only see one topic due to an active discussion going on that created >= 7 entries in a row. In that case other, relatively new topics drop off the list and can't be picked up on the first glance at the forum.

Thanks for your time and consideration

I have LL 2.2 on drive, Mint on sbd1 along with my data partition which was shared with LL 2.2/Mint/Windows 7 (Win 7 used to be on sbd2 as well, but I removed after I was able to get some Windows programs running on Wine).  Now booting into either LL or Mint I get this:


1) On boot it tells me it can't mount data and Skip it to continue. 
2) After boot attempting to mount manually I get: Failed to mount "Data"  Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdb7: Command Line 'mount "/home/chris/data" exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb7': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option


The Windows 7 data was not linked there, that was simply a default save location.


Thoughts?  It worked so great for weeks!

I guess I should mention I tried ro mount option with the following and got a very similar error message:



chris@chris-HP:~$ udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/sdb7 --options ro
Error mounting /dev/sdb7: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdb7: Command-line `mount "/home/chris/Data"' exited with non-zero exit status 14: The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).

Failed to mount '/dev/sdb7': Operation not permitted
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume

Is there a Terminal command to get the system tray back to default settings in LL 2.2
A friend has really messed his up.

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.
