What do you guys think of this idea? I originally started it to provide a easy solution for the media we provide.

Hi Folks,

I'm Bruno and I live in the UK. I've been using LL2 for about 3 weeks now and I think it is the business!  Wink

I've been distro-hopping for a few months after using this lappie with Win8 and, being unable to upgrade to Win8.1 (I tried, believe me I tried  :-\ ) I moved over to linux.

I've settled on LL2 because, well, I like it. Wink

Bruno

I have been using LL now for six months, and really like it.  My current issue is that I have a couple of tweaks I want to make before I install Linuxlite on a friend's computer (and several of my own), and that leads me back to prior discussions of live-cd making and remastersys, etc.  The type customization I am focusing on is setting up the XFCE panel at the bottom of the screen with the particular options I (and my friend) are looking for, making sure a couple of key desktop icons are in place, etc.  I gather that may also mean that I'll need to understand how to make sure my XFCE configuration gets into etc/skel so that when my friend installs on his new computer, he can set up his own user account.

Over the holidays I purchased blacklabimager and I am fairly pleased with that, but I am still looking for other alternatives for making a custom livecd.  My personal home folder has grown pretty large, and I have lots of programs installed, and and I am going to have to figure out how to scale that back and deal with the iso size limit.

I could probably study the command line options for blacklabimager (if there are any) but I am looking for something easier.    I came across SYSTEMBACK http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/  which says it can do system and data backups AND create a livecd with lots of options.  Does anyone have any recent experience with this or alternative methods for customizing a livecd?  I've seen a couple of threads over six months old, but this seems to be a moving target.

thanks

Hello,

I have Acer Aspire V5-471G with partition:
1. windows recovery
2 & 3: root and home for LinuxLite
4: Extended partition
4.1: swap partition
4.2.1 & 4.2.2: Fedora root and home partition
4.3.1 & 4.3.2: Voyager root and home partition.

I installed the iso into USB using the dd command followed the LinuxLite manual. The USB live working great except when I open gparted there's warning Libparted bugs found (recursive partition) on the USB.

Then I installed LinuxLite to that partition2. The installation went finish. I restarted my laptop but it won't run LinuxLite with
error: failure reading sector 0x239d18 from hd0.

Could you help me?  thanks.

Hi, Im having the following issue. I have Linux Lite intalled in my computer and everything works fine. The only problem I got is, when start Mozilla Firefox, it tries  to connect to any website (I set www.google.com as "Home") and keeps trying and trying and at the end says it could not connect to any server. The weird thing is, I open the terminal and when I ping any website, it pings perfectly (what means I have internet connection). What can be the problem? Any idea why this is happening? What settings should be set in the browser to work properly?


Please help. I have tried anything and nothing seems to work.


Thanks,


Alberto

Hi,

My first post here. I'm just setting up my first production machine with Linux Lite after testing it for quite some time. Congrats and BIG THANKS to the developers for such an outstanding distribution!

I just run into the problem that syslog is not logging, a topic that has been brought up in this post:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...#msg5233By t

I'm a bit confused that such a fundamental issue has not been fixed before the release!? With this issue obviously even the provided Log File Viewer is not working.

May I please ask for clarification and whether the developers don't consider a working log file mechanism an important part of the system?

As the OP of the post above I'd be very keen on using LL in the future in production environments and as recommendation to customers/ users.

Thanks for your efforts!

I'll kick this off with a photo of Linux Lite in action at my place. Would like to see how you folks have your Linux Lite workstations set up Smile

(Please keep it 'child friendly' with your wallpapers etc)

Got an update to Virtual Box today by Linux Lite Updates. Checked Synaptic and Virtual Box is not installed.

Why did it look like Virtual Box was upgraded?  ???

Dreaming Smile Newbie mad idea?
Is there such a thing as a Wifi  pc monitor, i.e no need for HDMI or scart cables etc. i.e something like a chromcast dongle ?

Have seen  latest linux mint box  or even Pi2 -  If you can have Wireless mouse  & keyboard, why not complete the process with wireless Monitor/display?
