Recently I posted on the LL forum that I had been hit by the partner18mydomainadvisor, by inadvertently visiting its .com website, when I had only wished to look up information about it. To cut a long story short, I reformatted by hard drive, and clean installed LL2 again. Problem sorted.
However, the experience made me ask the question about how secure my set-ups are, i.e. a win7/LL2 dual-boot and a distro-only multiboot). Since I came to Linux I have always been a paid subscriber to the ESET antivirus version for Linux (having had very good experience of this with previous MS Windows only set-ups) to take care of general security, together with the usual regular updating of LL2. I should add that I am a home-user, and sole user of the laptops concerned - I do not use the laptops in public spaces.
What about passwords? This made me look at the three instances when a password is needed in any given session...
(1) LL2 logon - a password was set-up when installing the OS (I have set LL2 to auto-logon when booting up)
(2) Making changes to the computer - a password is needed (permission requested) when say installing new software with synaptic package manager
(3) Keyring for Wi-Fi - a password is requested for the keyring default, whenever I use the Wi-Fi after auto logon
I then realized that the password I set up for (1), is the same as (2) & (3)! Doesn't this render my LL set-ups vulnerable to malware attack?
My question is, should I have three different passwords for LL2, one for each of the above three instances?
Any advice on this gratefully appreciated - many thanks ...

Just popping in to say hello and to express my thanks for Linux Lite 2.0. This distro is absolutely amazing. So polished, so light, so damn good. The best XFCE based Ubuntu distro available, hands down.
Hello,
I have just completed my first ever music mix, and just wanted to share about this.
I used Linux Lite and Audacity.
It is the first project I have done using Linux.
I used 16 separate sessions, this taking me total time of just over 32 hours to make the mix, the mix is 50 minutes and 33 seconds duration.
The time includes learning to use Audacity (sort of lol), on the fly whilst making the mix, without RTM at all, I did view it at the beginning it didn't cover any of the things I wanted to know at that time, so I left it alone for later, and had a play instead, which is usually how I first begin to use a software.
I also used some sound effects, and I also made different ones by overlapping/merging anything from 2-5 effects, I also made a couple of effects by using sound bites of songs.
A maximum of approximately no more than 50% of any song duration was used, and many use less than this.
The beginning of a song on the mix in some cases is not the beginning of the original song, and in some cases the song on the mix begins 50 or even 75% through the original song, done for blending/making fit, effect.
It's a reggae mix, I used the sub genres - Lovers Rock, Roots, Dancehall, Reggaeton.
It begins with lovers rock and ends with it too.
I use roots either side of the dancehall. This was a challenge being the fastest and slowest songs.
I like the mix myself but am unsure if anyone else would like it, it was a really enjoyable and fun first project, I hope my post encourages someone else with whatever their first project on Linux Lite is, and I hope to read about your projects too.

Hello everyone, my first time posting.
I'm currently running Linux Lite 1.0.8 and as its performed faultlessly on my ageing former XP machine I haven't yet upgraded to 2.0. However, with the recent Shellshock bug being reported I've installed system updates and updated the Bash.
Having done that, I've run the tests recommended here: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=925.0 and the second still returns 'Vulnerable'. My question is threefold: is this a problem to be concerned with, is there likely to be a fix, or am I better off upgrading to 2.0?
I look forward to seeing any suggestions.

Hi,
after installation I had several problems:
- password was not properly set, so it didn´t work
- screen resolution was stuck at 640x480
I accessed grub and changed there my password and at reboot everything was magically set up, even screen resolution :o 
I find it strange and worth sharing
nice distro by the way, I´m free of Windows Vista now
Howdy! My name is Fishman and I am from Texas. I glad and honored to be a part of this community. 
As a recent Windows XP convert I started out with LL 1.08 (Dual Boot) and loved it. I have just installed LL 2.0 but when I click on the run Help Manual I get the following error message
Error when getting information for file 'usr/share/doc/xfce4-utils/html/c/index.html': No such file or directory
Could someone please advise me , in simple terms, how I can remedy this problem
My "vehicle" is 32 bit Windows XP, Celeron 3.2?Ghz, 1G Ram, I think the kicker is the graphics card GeForce FX5200. There seems to be some question if this card is compatible with the new release 2.0 LL or if I have to use an older release.
So, that is question #1 I guess:
1) What release ... (would prefer the latest if it will support the drivers which are the nvidia 173.xx for this card)?
2) The manual suggests I get advice for the set-up I would like. I have XP on one small (40G hard drive) which is good enough for what little I do on it, and would like to install Linux Lite on a second clean Hard Drive that is 120G, and would like to dual boot. Best way to do so?
Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
Chris
As far as I'm aware I can't usethe VLC media player (that comes with the LL2 software bundle) for downloading & playing radio podcasts (or can I?).
I did some experimentation and found 'Clementine 123', which is v.popular, not to work very well with LL2 - the preset sound setting is too low.
What media player do forum members recommend for LL2? Any suggestions for LL2?
Regards
Mike
