Hi Guy's. Got a nasty surprise when I switched on tonight. Went to find a page that I had bookmarked in Firefox and find that everything has disapeared. Just like that! Does anyone know what I can do to retrieve the bookmarks toolbar? I am very unhappy that all my precious bookmarks have gone into thin air. Hope you can help me out on this one. Regards Walt
GRUB2 is able to directly boot ISO's and I use this feature often, but LinuxLite does not work.
Add the menu entry as shown:
menuentry "LinuxLite ISO" {
set isofile="/linux-lite-2.2-32bit.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,2)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.gz
}The ISO boots but produces lines stating "Can't open /dev/sr0" and "/dev/sdb" then "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
Looking for help on other forums, I found this topic that describes the problem accurately and gives a solution:
http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/node/197
Quote:I notice that I didn't include lupin-casper:
Description: Add support for loop-mount installations to casper
I am adding that package to the iso image and will test that....
That worked!
Can this fix be included to the LinuxLite ISO too please?
In this tutorial I will show you how you can make a Menu with a Launcher.
It's a fast way of launching Applications and you can easily set paramaters for each Application.

As you can see in the picture I've made a launcher to open Firefox and Google Chrome.
The launcher's icon has a small triangle that ponts in a direction where the menu is launched.
1. Right-click on the XFCE panel. When a menu pops up go to Panel and then Add New Items
2. Select the Launcher and then Click on Add

3.Right-click on that icon and select Move
You can move the launcher wherever you want on the XFCE panel.

4. Right-click on the icon and select Properties
[img height=259 width=317]http://i.imgur.com/f4QgD29.png[/img]
5. Now you can add the launchers
Click on a + button along the right edge of the dialog box.

When a new window opens you can search for applications you want to add to your launcher.
[img height=357 width=339]http://i.imgur.com/3wnLvfP.png[/img]
Select the application you whish to add and click on the Add button.
You can Add as many as you like.
Launcher uses the icon of the first application on the list.
Use the up and down arrow buttons along the right edge of the dialog box to move the applications.
[img height=398 width=329]http://i.imgur.com/HCbVOiG.png[/img]
6. Select the Advanced tab of the Launcher properties dialog box.
Disable the tooltips and and select the "Arrow button position" in the drop down box.
It's labeled as "Default" by default. This will put the arrow over the icon on the panel.

If you want to add separate icons for regular Firefox and Chrome,
as well as the private browsing option for each browser,
you will have to add a duplicate and then edit the launcher.
![[Image: 0aii0Lu.png]](http://i.imgur.com/0aii0Lu.png)
Select the duplicate icon and then click on the pencil button along the right edge of the dialog box(or just double-click the duplicate icon).
This will open another dialog box.
You can freely change the Name of the application. That does not affect the way application is launched.
Command, however, defines the way application is launched.
For Chrome and Chromium just add --incognito to the command. Remember to leave a space behind %U.
%U means URL, it's used when you drag and drop something on the icon. It tells the browser to open whatever you droped on the icon.
For Firefox use this as a command: firefox -private %u
I'm running Linux Lite on a virtual machine, Windows 7 Virtual PC.
Had I know better I might have used VirtualBox, but as it is I now have all my legacy MS machines in that VM.
Anyway, all seems to be working well, except that the Linux machines have a display resolution of 800 X 600. Exactly the same thing happens with Linux Mint.
I gather this is due to the MS Virtual PC not being very forthcoming with the virtual display definition, and so Linux has to
assume a modest VGA capability.
In fact what the MS Virtual PC uses by default is a Ye Olde S3 Graphics 764/765 [Trio32/64/64v+], which shows up better in the PCI Devices - System Information, rather than Display - System Information. The Virtual Card shows up as having a memory of 64MB (32bit, non-prefetchable), which is more than capable of 1024 x 786, which is what I setup on Windows 3.11 and Windows 98 VM's, using MS drivers, but there doesn't seem to be a Linux equivalent driver.
The original plan on the Linux Lite Virtual machine, and on Mint, was to stop the X server, create an xorg.config.new, edit in the extra resolution mode(s) info and restart with the new config.
The minor detail is I can't see how to stop the X server, and having read a few messages it may not be a very wise move.
So what is the best way to get a Linux Lite configured with 1024 x 768 on a Win7 Virtual PC,
Please, keeping in mind that my Linux skills are relatively novice at present.

Hi everybody! Fairly new to the whole Linux world but have been fiddling and what not for the last year trying to learn. I've revived an old Dell Dimension 2100 running XP and LL 2.0 in dual boot, atm. Have tried several distros but I really love this one.
Whisker Menu button/Rightclick/'Edit Applications' has become inactive (greyed out) and a new menu option I added through Alacarte does not show on the Whisker menu. Also the Whisker layout has reversed - the main list is on the right and the selections are to the left. If I move the whisker button to the right of the panel, the layout is correct. The menu system is the weak point of Linux Lite and is a bit discouraging, having reinstalled numerous times only to restore a working menu. Reinstalling is very time consuming but I really like Whisker menu. Other distros have problems with Whisker Menu too. Just to be sure, I have not clicked the menu restore defaults button at any time. This situation has somehow re-occurred.
Is there any known repair solution, avoiding reinstall? I desperately want to stay with LL2.
TIA
I'm new to this and through my research I'm not sure I have the knowledge( nor find a step by step) to create a "bootable" cd to install Linux Lite. So I'm thinking that it would be worth the $15 to buy it. Can any one point me in the direction to learn how to DIY.
Hello,
