I installed yesterday LL 2.0 32-bit at a TOSHIBA Laptop. Everything works except the boot splash screen, the one with the feather and the progress bar. After the first reboot it didn't changed, but when I shutdown it and power up, it's replaced by the Ubuntu 14.04 one with the dots. I didn't changed anything, I installed updates after the installation. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

So if we have updated, shellshock is not a problem?

Hello all,

I need a little bit of help and advice. My mom recently bought a printer.  The Canon PIXMA MG2520. My googlefu skills haven't been the best, I admit, and I can't find anything related to this printer. It's an all-in-one printer so it also has a scanner/copier. I'm not too concerned about that.

I just need to get the printer working. So if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Hello All,

My name is Lou Gagliardi and I am new to Linux Lite but far not used to Linux.

I was looking for a simple, easy to use and lightweight distro. I found it. I share a computer with my mother, so it was important for her to have ease of use--and Linux Lite is it.

I look forward to chatting with all of you and getting problems fixed and fixing problems.

Hey
    I have this Acer Aspire 3000 that I have had for 5 years or more. It has an issue with the cooling fan. It is plain NOISY, Rattles and all kinds of stuff. It seems to cool ok but the fan is just crazy noisy. I have replaced the fan once already and that cost me a lot. Is there anything one can do to minimize the noise on this models fan? Anything would be helpful. I have another set of cooling fans underneath it that cost me 10 buck but even they are starting to make some noise.
Help!!

Ohjrson

I would love to see this ability built into Linux Lite. When I use my iMac it does exactly what I need it to do by just typing the Windows key and the spacebar, I can quickly find what I need not only on my internal HD but also my external drives.When I type in for example Miles Davis, it not only brings up the files containing the name Miles Davis but also documents including pdf documents that include the text miles davis. This is very important to me because I need to have this kind of search functionality. I realize that the search option on the Mac (Spotlight) indexes the drives I need it to and bases the search on the constantly updated indexes.

If there is a way to do this in LinuxLite, that would be awesome. I have Catfish installed but maybe I'm not using it properly. I don't want to have to select the folder or drive I want to search. I just want to type in what I am looking for and have a list of everything it has found. If I can do this in Linuxlite than I really have no reason to keep my aging (2006) iMac. Smile

Should I post this in one of the help forums as well?

I am trying to create a launcher on the desktop that will execute an rsync command when I double-click it. I created the launcher and filled it out with the following entries:

Description: Backup Home Directory
Command: rsync -avr ...
Working Directory: /home/steele
Comment: Backup Home Directory
Options: Use startup notification: checked
            Run in terminal: checked

I expected it to open a terminal session, then execute the rsync command in that session.

When I double-click the launcher, nothing happens (I checked the target of the rsync and a file was not there that should have been copied). I created another one with "echo Hello" as the command and couldn't see anything happening with that either.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
