Is there anyone here who knows anything about TimeShift and can recommend it.

TimeShift is a application that provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS.

I received a news article by RSS a few days ago about a new security vulnerability in Ubuntu which allowed someone to gain access to your PC. Since then I have been looking for a security update. (I check Install Updates at least once a day.) Since reading this article, I have not been offered a security update. There was a link in the article to Ubuntu which offered a link to the update. I did not use it because I thought I would get it the usual way in a few days.

Was the article out of date and we already have that update or should I have gotten the patch from the Ubuntu website or just be patient until it is offered the usual way?

(I know my paranoia is showing. :-[  It comes from too many years using Windows and being abandoned by Apple support because I have an iMac PPC* instead of an Intel  Mac.)

This is a neat feature in Firefox which allows you to search using keywords.
If I want to search for nvidia. I just type in ll nvidia in the url bar and I get the results.

Open this url: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...ion=search
Right-click On the search bar and select Add a Keyword for this Search

When a dialog opens set change the name to:
Search Linux Lite Forums
Now, set the Keyword to LL or ll or anything you like. I thing it should be simple, for example two letters.
ll
Leave the Folder as it is (Bookmarks Menu) because you don't need it in the toolbar.
Click Save.
Now when you type 'll nvidia' and press enter in the url bar you will automatically search the forum.
ll nvidia
ll jerry

This can be done with google,yahoo, etc. I've set gg for google and yy for yahoo.

Really enjoying Linux Lite. I have been using it for about a year now and first installed it, because I was looking for an easy system that would work well for an elderly friend. I liked Linux Lite so much that I kept it and I have also installed it on 4 friends computers, and all of them have had a very good experience with it.

I have been a Linux user for more than 10 years, and my first really successful system was Debian. I moved to Linux not long after Windows XP arrived and I found it was too much of a resource hog on my Windows ME vintage computer that I bought in Jan 2001. Thanks to various Linux systems that computer was in regular use until only a couple of months ago, but I have finally pensioned it off because the Power button is now so worn that it is difficult to start! My current computer is about 6 years old and I was using Archlinux as my primary system until falling in love with Linux Lite!

I find Virtual Box an invaluable tool. When helping friends with sick Windows computers I would run Windows XP (my legit paid for copy!) in Virtual Box to help me think of solutions. I run the 64 bit version of Linux Lite, but I also run a 32 bit install of Archlinux in Virtual Box so that I can use a "problem" glaze software programme that needs some 32 bit libraries that Ubuntu don't have any more.

I also use Wine for Il2 Sturmovik 1946 (a wonderful flight sim), and have wine happily running a 32 bit environment for this game. Very clever of wine to be able to do that on a 64 bit system I think!

I am really impressed with the usability of Linux Lite. I like it that Libreoffice, Wine, and Gimp are kept up to date. Xfce is also really nicely presented by this distro. Some wrongly claim that this is simply a rebranded xubuntu, but Linux Lite works so much better for me, and I like the default selection of applications better too.

Sincere Thanks to all of you who make Linux Lite possible.

Hey, yeah i'm having a problem with the XFCE Power Manager.

Under the settings Monitor: "Put display to sleep when computer is inactive for" and "Switch off display when computer is inactive for"

I have them both set to never but the laptop screen/display still goes off after 10 minutes, if the laptop hasn't been touch. If I set it to 1 minute, it works fine it switches off after 1 minute  but if i set them both to never or 60 minutes then the laptop screen/display still switches off after 10 minutes.

It's very annoying when watching a video on youtube or a movie and then the screen/display goes off and i have to move the mouse to turn the display back on.

If anyone could help thanks.

Hi... After much searching, can't find info on how to transfer without losing LL setup.

Have LL iso boot disk.

Please point me to article / blog / thread (if there is one)... or advise.

Thanks, Lester

Hello there!

I'm using a Microsoft Wireless 2000 Keyboard and noticed, that the Music Buttons on top doesn't seem to work with Tomahawk or Rythmbox.
Is it possible to activate this feature?

My name is TheBestDestroyer

I'm a noob in linux , but I tried diffrent distros and stayed with lite!

Very nice work!

I'm using V.2.2, 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX520 with an Intel videocard. A few minutes ago I installed updates as instructed by the Muon updater. After that, Linux-Lite wouldn't boot completely: I get to the point where the screen blanks and I should get the pointer, followed by the desktop. All I get is a blank screen.
Is there a fix, or did I do something wrong? Linux-Lite is a fast, efficient system, and I'd like to continue using it.
