I have system(s) on 128GB SSD. Most files and data are on 1 TB HD. I would like this to mount automatically each time on startup rather than having to mount manually, input PW etc. each time.

Is this possible and if so how?

Initial installation went well but a few niggles, some of which will describe so as to give feedback to developer. But in terms of software specifics:

After initial installation I installed System Load Indicator along with System Monitor (I have rural connection and really like seeing graph of upload/download in the panel). It worked great. Clipit installed and worked great.

But the HP1018 printer wasn't working so I tried a trick I learned last week: pull out the USB cable, reboot, put it back in and printer should/might install. Well, it didn't work this time (though it worked 4 days ago first time I installed LL2). Go figure.

But also, and this is the main reason for this particular post: the System Load Indicator and Clipit are no longer visible in the Panel. They have gone! I uninstalled and re-installed them but they just don't show any more.

Does anyone have any idea how to get them back?

Just a quick question, I have been looking everywhere, and found absolutely nothing in the settings that gives me the option, and looking it up, I found nothing on how to do it.

How do I change my user picture?

I have a netbook running Ubuntu and Lunbuntu 12.04 if I do a standard Lite install will it overwrite the other OS or will I need to format the HD?

I'm having problems with incorrect key allocations (more than enough to make it unusable) since I changed to UK keyboard layout. Usable on default US layout but hey, we invented the language!. There's no map for this PC in the settings. Can anybody help a whingeing Brit.?

Hi
I have 5 Parameters for Linux Evaluation as a Normal End User Download Size, Live Boot Performance, Installation & Customisation, Functional Performance and Others. Linux Live Scores in these areas are presented below as below benchmarked with two Linux Distros which I am using or recommending others - Fedora & Linux Mint


                                          Fedora Linux Mint Linux Lite
Desktop Environment                               XFCE Desktop
Download Size                            15 10 20
Live Boot                                    15 20 15
Installation & Customisation                 15 17 13
Functional Performance                 20 15 17
Others                                         15 20 15
Total                                                 80 82 80

Fedora Scores Average Marks in all aspects except Functional Performance which is unbeatable. Mint Scores low on the Download Size as it is above 1 GB and is a bit poor compared with Linux Lite on Performance.

Linux Lite is the most resource friendly and eye candy Distribution.

2 Issues with Linux Lite:
Additional Application Installation is not a bit easy. Though the promise is so, I am finding that the Additional Software Installation does not work seamlessly. Further the synaptic package manager is not as effective as I had observed in Mint or Ubuntu.This area is a bleeding issue for the distribution

Installation with 3rd party codecs and multimedia support takes hell a lot of time. This was not the case with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

2 Best Points
Completely LTS and hence acts like a semi rolling release with two versions we can have 7 years of easy usage without any difficulty.

Easy and Simple to use, best for any one who is just starting into a Linux Distribution

Questions:
I really do not see an advantage for going to Linux Lite as Linux Mint does all these stuffs in a much simpler and established manner.
What drove you to make a distro when Linux Mint is the best Ubuntu Derivative

What was in your mind in having “Additional Software Installer”.
Instead you could have given “Software Customisation Center” - A More Graphical Presentation of the additional applications.
This would have eased the user.
Many Nos example 10, 11, 14, etc., are not working with the Additional Software Installer.
The concept is a bit failing and not working.

Why the synaptic package manager is not functioning in the same manner with Mint or Ubuntu

I use Grub4Dos to boot my linux distros and want to completely get rid of Grub2. Grub2 is a bloated piece of software that makes the process of each kernel update very long, especially when there are multiple Linux versions installed on the same machine. You just get stuck watching the screen showing the message "updating grub configuration file" when Grub2 slowly scans the hard drive.

1) Option #1 is to turn off os-prober:

This is not too bad, the message "updating grub configuration file" is gone, but there is another one that cycles twice during kernel updates (on my system 2 minutes is wasted on that):

"generating grub configuration file"

2) To get rid of the message shown above you need to completely uninstall Grub2. However, when I try to uninstall it with the command below:


I end up with some orphaned files and directories, indicating that the uninstall was not complete and maybe some more packages should have been included in the purge command. I assume that only the files on the screenshot below are really needed for booting (with a bootloader other than Grub2):

[img height=483 width=800]http://i.imgur.com/A7FkY8t.png[/img]

I'm not sure if all the files below can be safely deleted manually:

Or is the kernel itself somehow linked to Grub2 by design, in which case deleting Grub2 would not be a good idea even if another bootloader was always used to chainload "vmlinuz" and "initrd.img".

For the record, booting Linux from Grub4Dos is explained here:

Hi LL members,

I observed applications like (TeamViewer, VNC or many others (that usually have their notification icon appear on the right corner near the clock)
have their icon appearing in taskbar as normal tasks.

Do you have an idea on how to modifiy this please ?
Thank you.

If there is a piece of software that you would like to see in Linux Lite 2.2? Please suggest it here.
Before doing this, consider the following criteria:

- Is it widely considered essential? eg. a date and time app is a good example
- Is it something I like to use, or does it have wide appeal? eg. VLC has much wider appeal than Totem. Personal favorites are not good suggestions unless they have wide appeal and are simple to use whilst looking great.
- Just because we are going to DVD size doesn't mean we will include 30 new programs, we must remain 'lite'.

What is so far being added.
- A new simple mouse theme with changeable cursor size.
- Gnome Date and Time
- Lite Welcome
- Added media check to Live boot menu
- Added graphical md5sum check to right click menu
- Added libreoffice-gnome to open office files on a NAS
- Dropped Mumble
- Added inxi
- Added 'File Search' (catfish)
- Added new wallpapers from https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...15#msg5415 and https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=989.0
- URL Menu entries now use exo-open instead of xdg-open
- Adjusted Screensaver and Power Settings to negate settings conflict

Thank you for participating

This script displays the output of

in the zenity list. Maybe we can use this in the future for Lite Backup or some other software.
Tricky part was to display mount when there are spaces in the disk label in the same column.
