Is there a way to run LL2.2 from a USB stick  instead of installing -  Not as a Live  presence , but as an alternative to installing on a hard Drive.  Purpose  to run totally independently from the PC/laptop/    With USB sticks now 64GB+, is there any need to install - i.e. just take  the pre-installed stick (with OS & work files etc.) around with you and assuming you can get boot priority to USB, work on any pc/laptop at hand.

I can do this with puppy linux, but puppy limited to PETS etc.  i.e not so convenient.
Thanks.

As part of an effort to look for ways to fund the project, I'd like to gauge the communities reaction to whether or not they would sponsor the project this way.

LiteCloud is built off Owncloud and is available on all mobile and pc platforms, Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux. LiteCLoud is extremely flexible, you can edit documents from inside the browser, use it together with Dropbox or Google Drive, as well as many other useful features. There would be a limited number of accounts so as to ensure top performance for everyone. Please mention what type of plan you would be interested in.

Hello Folks,

I have a problem with Evince and apparently poppler, since I can't search pdfs created by pdfLaTeX. With other pdfs it works perfectly fine. I searched a little in the net and some suggested to upgrade the libpoppler44 as it might be outdated. However, libpoppler can't be updated in the repo because it is already the newest version!

my Evince Version: 3.10.3
libpoppler44 Verion: 0.24.5

Both came as default in linux lite 2.2

What do you think?

best

Been using linux for several years and have tried a bunch of the distros. I'm a "user" and usually lean towards the distros marked for "beginners'. I've installed Lite on an old Dell Inspiron 530 and so far I'm finding it easier to use that a lot of those listed in the "beginners" section.
We'll run it for awhile and see what happens. First look..... I'm liking what I see.

Hi there guys,

After being reluctant to do it, I enabled autologin in my laptop running LL 2.2. For some reason, that messed up pulse audio... I was able to skip the login, but I couldn't watch youtube videos anymore. It kept changing stuff on the sound settings every time I restarted.

I have disabled autologin and everything's back to normal.

EDIT: It's something else breaking the sound settings. I dunno what. Any help, will be immensely appreciated.

Anyway, I thought I let you guys know.

Cheers!

When running the live DVD if I open thunar and I click on a partition in the sidebar it opens and displays the contents but after installing on a HDD and I do the same thing it asks for my password.

On other 14.04 distros the partitions are displayed unmounted but when you click on one it just auto mounts and displays the contents so I'm guessing the permissions ain't being set by the installer correctly.

Also as I've mentioned elsewhere the default keyboard is not being set by the installer it remains set as US keyboard. this again doesn't happen with other 14.04 versions.

I've added the UK keyboard and deleted the US one, rebooted and gone into keyboard settings, checked " Use system defaults" and it returns to the US settings.

Sorry if I come over as being negative but I feel these points should be addressed.

I like what your doing! you have attracted a strong loyal community, well done the team, good luck be with you all.

PS
I keep getting emails when I post a PM and I can't find where to turn them off, I've been through every profile option, I don't find the software very intuitive.

Hi All,

Is there any way of changing my username in the forums, other than requesting it from the admins?

I'm a bit tired of being a legendary vampire... however, if not possible that's all fine.

Cheers!

Ok -- I'm lost!

I can't seem to figure out how to setup a custom avatar for my profile on the forum.  Want to change from the default penquin I picked to something else.  Anyone have any idea how to do that?  And is it possible to upload an image to imgur and link to that for this purpose?

Thanks.
