Greetings, I am new to Linux Lite and just installed it today. I am trying to get sound on the internet (youtube, etc.). I would surely appreciate any help that I can get on this! Tks very much in advance. 
This topic has been moved to [General/On Topic].

i did a full [RE-}install today. had the LL boot screen to the logon pass screen. THEN i used settings to have the graphics driver for gf7950 installed,, all went well. i rebooted. THEN;
the boot splash screen changed, part way thru the boot process, to the ubuntu 14.04 splash screen.. with the 4 "wait" indicators, then, the lite splash screen re appeared and i went to the normal desktop. not that its a problem.. just unusual. glad to b back on LL
Thank you for moving me 
I don't want to step on any ones toes but perhaps a video might help those folk like me who do not understand the language used in manuals. ;D
I've made a video of customizing the standard panel to what I've been using for the past few years
The top row is 2 minimized windows and the next row is 2 multi-launchers, followed by notifications, clock and then the menu.
I like the extra screen real estate and just looking in one small area for info, menu etc.

Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViRlvVr0S7E
If this seems a good approach perhaps folk will have some suggestions on how to improve the video, I don't mind redoing it.
If I've posted in the wrong place please move/remove.
edit
I'm thinking about splitting it into Panel size and position, populating the panel and then about using the menu, three videos?
A friendly reminder to folks who are not following Forums Posting Guidelines when posting pictures. Some people are using other image hosters that appear so small, we have trouble seeing the image. Using alternative web image hosters may hinder you getting the Support you need as I know some people cannot be bothered trying to view tiny thumbnails. I want to help people, but if I see another 1" x 1" thumbnail, I think I'll go bonkers!

Is there a gui grub editor for Lite 2.2?
Hello everyone. Good to be back! I'm trying to change the blue background of grub to a darker image on my hd. I have installed grub customizer and attempted this several time using the new image as jpg and png format. Neither one seems to stick around upon a restart. I always get the blue image. I have searched the net and found many suggestions, looked in the system folders for a clue, etc. So, has anyone successfully done this?
You'll find the vast majority of commands on your system using this command:
ls -l /bin /usr/binalso, some admin commands:
ls -l /sbin /usr/sbinto read the manual page for a command ('grep', for example)
man grepsome commands also have info pages, like:
info grepyou can get some more info about a program by executing it with the --help switch
grep --helpIf this unedjucated scooter tramp can tread where smarter minds than his fear to tread. So can you.

Now you get a better Idea. Same when someone says "inxi -F"
harry@biker1:~$ inxi --help
inxi supports the following options. You can combine them, or list them one
by one. Examples: inxi -v4 -c6 OR inxi -bDc 6. If you start inxi with no
arguments, it will show the short form.
The following options if used without -F, -b, or -v will show just option
line(s): A, C, D, G, I, M, N, P, R, S, f, i, m, n, o, p, l, u, r, s, t - you
can use these alone or together to show just the line(s) you want to see. If
you use them with -v [level], -b or -F, it will show the full output for that
line along with the output for the chosen verbosity level.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Output Control Options:
-A Audio/sound card information.
-b Basic output, short form. Like inxi -v 2, only minus hard disk names.
-c Color schemes. Scheme number is required. Color selectors run a color
selector option prior to inxi starting which lets you set the config
file value for the selection.
Supported color schemes: 0-32 Example: inxi -c 11
Color selectors for each type display (NOTE: irc and global only show
safe color set):
94 Console, out of X
95 Terminal, running in X - like xTerm
96 Gui IRC, running in X - like Xchat, Quassel, Konversation etc.
97 Console IRC running in X - like irssi in xTerm
98 Console IRC not in X
99 Global - Overrides/removes all settings. Setting specific removes
global.
-C CPU output, including per CPU clockspeed (if available).
-d Optical drive data. Same as -Dd. See also -x and -xx.
-D Full hard Disk info, not only model, ie: /dev/sda ST380817AS 80.0GB.
See also -x and -xx. Disk total used percentage includes swap partition
size(s).
-f All cpu flags, triggers -C. Not shown with -F to avoid spamming. ARM
cpus show 'features'.
-F Full output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line letters, plus -s and
-n. Does not show extra verbose options like -d -f -l -m -o -p -r -t -u
-x
-G Graphic card information (card, display server type/version,
resolution, glx renderer, version).
-i Wan IP address, and shows local interfaces (requires ifconfig network
tool). Same as -Nni. Not shown with -F for user security reasons, you
shouldn't paste your local/wan IP.
-I Information: processes, uptime, memory, irc client (or shell type),
inxi version.
-l Partition labels. Default: short partition -P. For full -p output, use:
-pl (or -plu).
-m Memory (RAM) data. Physical system memory array(s), capacity, how many
devices (slots) supported, and individual memory devices (sticks of
memory etc). For devices, shows device locator, size, speed, type
(like: DDR3). Also see -x, -xx, -xxx
-M Machine data. Motherboard, Bios, and if present, System Builder (Like
Lenovo). Older systems/kernels without the required /sys data can use
dmidecode instead, run as root. Dmidecode can be forced with -! 33
-n Advanced Network card information. Same as -Nn. Shows interface, speed,
mac id, state, etc.
-N Network card information. With -x, shows PCI BusID, Port number.
-o Unmounted partition information (includes UUID and LABEL if available).
Shows file system type if you have file installed, if you are root OR
if you have added to /etc/sudoers (sudo v. 1.7 or newer)
Example: <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/file
-p Full partition information (-P plus all other detected partitions).
-P Basic partition information (shows what -v 4 would show, but without
extra data). Shows, if detected: / /boot /home /tmp /usr /var. Use -p
to see all mounted partitions.

URPMQ; Ports.
-R RAID data. Shows RAID devices, states, levels, and components, and
extra data with -x/-xx. md-raid: If device is resyncing, shows resync
progress line as well.
-s Sensors output (if sensors installed/configured): mobo/cpu/gpu temp;
detected fan speeds. Gpu temp only for Fglrx/Nvidia drivers. Nvidia
shows screen number for > 1 screens.
-S System information: host name, kernel, desktop environment (if in X),
distro
-t Processes. Requires extra options: c (cpu) m (memory) cm (cpu+memory).
If followed by numbers 1-20, shows that number of processes for each
type (default: 5; if in irc, max: 5): -t cm10
Make sure to have no space between letters and numbers (-t cm10 -
right, -t cm 10 - wrong).
-u Partition UUIDs. Default: short partition -P. For full -p output, use:
-pu (or -plu).
-v Script verbosity levels. Verbosity level number is required. Should not
be used with -b or -F
Supported levels: 0-7 Example: inxi -v 4
0 Short output, same as: inxi
1 Basic verbose, -S + basic CPU + -G + basic Disk + -I.
2 Networking card (-N), Machine (-M) data, shows basic hard disk
data (names only), and, if present, basic raid (devices only, and
if inactive, notes that). similar to: inxi -b

-W <location> Supported options for <location>: postal code; city,
state/country; latitude/longitude. Only use if you want the weather
somewhere other than the machine running inxi. Use only ascii
characters, replace spaces in city/state/country names with '+'.
Example: inxi -W new+york,ny
-x Adds the following extra data (only works with verbose or line output,
not short form):
-C CPU Flags, Bogomips on Cpu;
-d Extra optical drive data; adds rev version to optical drive.
