Found a Halloween version of the Ubuntu logo online, so decided to give it a Linux Lite twist. 





Created with GIMP using the following elements:

1. ubuntu-satanic-edition.jpg  (Layer)
2. Linux_Lite_feather.png  (Layer)

Linux_Lite_feather was scaled to 37%, inverted and colorified to #FEB018.

Have you guys considered adding an option to install the pepperflashplugin-nonfree package to go along with the Chromium Web Browser?

If Chrome/Netflix is installed it wouldn't be necessary to install separately but for those who just need Chromium it may be a nice option.

I'm testing Chromium/Pepperflash in LL2/64 and have had no problems. I have a few additional notes that could be helpful if interested.

Now I have the right desktop and language I thought I'd see if I could speed up the boot time before I handed over the laptop to my wife.

I'll remove Bluetooth and printer from the autoload as she does not use either of them.

One of the things that have come up with Google is the reprofiling of the boot. I'll paste the text below. Can someone with an understanding of Linux Lite let me know whether it is something to try. Thanks

Tony..........

Go to the terminal and type in

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

enter your root password, and wait for a file to open up.

look for the line that says

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

and remove the words "quiet" and "splash" ( NOTE : THIS WILL DISABLE YOUR LINUX MINT SPLASH SCREEN, it doesnt help THAT much, but in my opinion it helps a little. )

also, add the word "profile" into that space. this wiill profile your boot and make it faster everytime, ( NOTE : THE FIRST BOOT AFTERDOING THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE SLOWER, DONT WORRY! IT IS JUST REPROFILING YOUR BOOT NOW )

So basically make that line look like this --

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="profile"

Save and exit!

Open up a terminal again and type

Sudo update-grub2

enter root password, wait for it too update, and then  restart your computer.

I was trying to encrypt or password protect a USB drive and I found a video explaining how to do this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4JYkZxnhJw

As described I went to the Synaptic Package Manager to download the "cryptsetup" and it showed that it was already installed...but I cannot find it anywhere, do I need a command to activate it somehow?

Thanks

The reason I initially begun to learn Gimp, although I've since found many other nice things to try that I enjoy a lot,with it and will continue with learning those too.

My first try at digital editing of makeup, changed eye colour manually using hard brush, change  eyelashes, eye liner. She works as wallpaper in LL.



As a wallpaper left side, right side ready if someone wanted to do branding as LL wallpaper.

I've had a struggle to get the keyboard on my Sony Vaio to use, and retain, certain characters such as the @ key.

It seems to be because it is a 102 key keyboard and I need English UK rather then English US.

I seem to have got it to work but when I click on the keyboard icon on the taskbar it still shows English US. Does this matter? I'd feel more comfortable if it showed English UK or at least a choice.

Thanks for any help that is coming.

I'm setting up a Sony Vaio with Linux Lite for my wife.

The shutdown icon on the menu, and the new one on the taskbar, are both small and hidden.

I have two icons on the desktop - browser and email.

I'd like a third - to turn the laptop off.

What do you wizards suggest, please?

Tony

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 running Linux Lite 2.0. I'm very happy with how fast it is (much better than when it was brand new running Windows Vista!). However i cannot connect to wireless LAN. It finds the network, but doesn't connect (password is correct, signal strength is excellent, power management is off, bluetooth is off, wifi works on other devices). The wireless adapter is Broadcom with BCM 4311 chipset.

I know many people have trouble with Broadcom wireless adapters, and i've tried some ' standard' stuff that seems to work in many cases but not in mine. I see that there are also some more complicated solutions around, but since I'm new to Linux it feels like I would be randomly trying without having any idea if it could help in my situation. So I'm hoping someone could give some more specific support.

What I tried (at least since the last time I reinstalled) was this https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...pic=1021.0 (reinstal, update but don't reboot, install additional driver, reboot). After that I didn't have any wireless nor ethernet anymore so I entered this in the terminal:

sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe b44
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43

Which if I understand correctly removes the wrong driver that is installed through the ' Additional drivers' procedure and installs the firmware driver for the network adapter.

This got me my ethernet back but still no wifi so i entered this in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

Which I think installs an open source driver for the adapter.
Now the wifi light is on and it finds wireless networks but when I try to log on it doesn't connect.

Help is much appreciated!

Hi Everyone..

After using dual boot (win7/ubuntu) for sometimes, and a lot of browsing on the internet. I've made up my mind.
I just dropped windows(it was the cracked version- I can't afford an OS ) and installed Linux Lite. I think Linux Lite suits me the best.
I'm a noob in linux and programming. Hope i will always find helps here. ;D
Thanks for all developer who contributed for this great distro.
