Hi,
I have shown a friend Linux Lite...
He wants me try it on his PC, Obviously I will try a Live Boot first.
I already know the PC's got a Intel based MOBO,
but with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 graphics card.
To avoid any issues,
I thought I would get a Heads Up on any possible issues.?
Will this be a case of using the install drivers option.
A quick Google led me to what appeared a straight forward install:
GeForce GT 720
Install Drivers
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 nvidia-settingsRemove Drivers:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-346Thanks... Dave
Hi,
Googleearth runs flawlessly when running LL2 from a USB stick as a live CD via Unetbootin.
After physically installing LL2 to a USB stick and booting from it, video display is missing sections (blocks).
It seems GE picks a different video driver once installed on the stick. There does not seem to be an option of installing or changing to a different or updated driver via the Menu.
Has anyone experienced this and is there a fix. Other video related applications, like Youtube, DVD etc all play fine. Only GE has the missing blocks. This is happening on all three computers I have tried LL on. :'( Thanks.
I've created new builds for our port of the Whisker Menu for Linux Lite.
New features:
- New translations.
- Recently used can now be configured on Behavior tab (minimum of 5 items).
- Edit Profile added to Behavior tab (installs Mugshot, click on the image next to your name at the top of the Menu to configure).
Logout and Login to see new version.

Mugshot allows you to change your name and picture that appear on the Login screen. This will create a menu entry in Menu, Settings, About Me. This program is a dependency of whiskemenu and therefore cannot be removed without breaking your system. If you don't want it to show on your Menu, then just hide it in Main Menu (Menu, Settings, Main Menu, Settings, About Me - untick)
Do:
sudo apt-get install whiskermenuto get the new version of the Menu.
I inadvertently deleted the volume control icon on the right hand side of the panel at the bottom of the laptop screen. How do I get this back, as presently I have no way of changing the volume for the music player in LL2.2.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Mike
Will former LL 3.13 continue to receive updates, and, if not, are they necessary for operation of the os?
gvfs-fuse is not installed by default & hence linking to a network volume in terminal is not available. I had to install this package to access the mount point. gvfs is installed by default & this package should also.
Latest issue of Linux Format in the Mailserver section I see the Letter of the Month is a positive experience feedback letter from an Australian user of Linux Lite.
Leaf texture fills the screen, a Zebra Swallowtail Caterpillar munching through to reveal the Construct, awaiting your command.

Hi,
A fresh clean new install of LL 2.2, immediately followed by "Install Updates"
Install all went fine, no errors or warnings during the install.
Carried out all my usual set-up actions, like I have done "many/many" times..
I then went to enable "Auto Login"
Menu > System >Login Settings > "Enable Auto Login"
I get the usual:
![[Image: PZO7L20.png]](http://i.imgur.com/PZO7L20.png)
then I get prompted for my password, which I enter.
Then after a second or so I get:
![[Image: 7sOJp2p.png]](http://i.imgur.com/7sOJp2p.png)
and Auto Login does not work.
I have seen the message on Auto Login Bug, but I ran the install updates immediately after install

There is another Thread about adding a user in lightdm.conf, which is not present on this install.
Also an indication of creating one manually.

Any suggestions/pointers welcome.
