Hello,

I am a new comer to Linux and not very tech savvy. So kindly bear with me if I sound a bit silly. I have been using Linux Lite since January this year and recently reinstalled the distro since Lite 2.0 came. First I installed 32 bit and everything was working perfectly, but then I realized my laptop DELL vostro 1015 had a 64 bit processor so I uninstalled the 32 bit version and installed the 64 bit. Since then I have had some problems that I never had. The system freezes some times and I have to shut it down with power button. And the problem I have not been able to solve is the Webcam (Cheese and Gucview) works as long as I take videos, but as soon as I take a snapshot it crashes (freezes or disappears). Please help.

The next addition to the Lite software family will be Lite Backup.

Most of the back up solutions available for linux that I have tried either have a steep learning curve, confusing interface or they miss files and folders during the process.
Lite Backup looks to simplify the way we perform backups buy focusing on file types as opposed to entire directories. If you're new to linux and you can't remember where all your pictures are, Lite Backup will search your computer and combine them all into one backup. There will also be a restore process included.

This is likely to be the most complex of our packages to create, so it will be a while before it is available to use.

We welcome your suggestions and ideas. The following screenshot is just a mock up, there is no working code yet. Once I have completed the first working backup type, the code will be made public.

Large forest fires tend to make their own weather...have seen this type of lightning while travelling in the air to battle them.
Created the clouds mixed with the smoke and used the lighting effects filter for the lightning...pretty close to the real thing...

Automated installs.
Ubuntu and some other distro's support this part but does Linux Lite?
Havent seen any real information about this as of yet so I need to ask Tongue

I have had very little support from linux mint ( as an example, among a few ) in terms of my needs...
Let me break it down for you.

I work for a municipality and I take/get every single PC they discard in order to clean/wipe them and then resell for cheap.
Windows is out of the question which leaves Linux but I need to make some kind of automated install ( oem install ) thus saving time for me and my colleagues and allow end user to set the system up their own way.
Several attempts has been done to do this on other distro's and each time the entire project ends up in deadlock due to a script not running at the end of the install.
The script in question simply installs a webbrowser choice app which pops up first logon for each user ( as required by local municipality standards )
As mentioned above, the help with fixing/running said script during the automated install has been ... missing... ( and help has been asked via several distros )
This is not about branding, all logo's and names will remain as is, I just need that app installed during oem install.
Giving this is about almost 1000PCs/year it should be fairly good adverticing to which ever dist manages to help me with this Tongue
The reason why I havent had the need for linux before is that we had a special deal with microsoft in terms of windows XP... which for some time now have been without support in any way, shape or form.

So to the question, again ( as stated at the top ), does Linux Lite support OEM/preseeding?

Hopefully within the next 2 weeks we will have native HTML5 support for Netflix in Linux Lite.

This is fantastic news as we currently have people install a wine wrapper to get it to work - that means lots of bloat on a 'lite' system Sad Once the update hits the repo's I'll test and change the Netflix installer accordingly. Please note this will only work for the Chrome web browser so those that don't have it, the new script will install Chrome as a dependency and they will have to view Netfilx via Chrome.

Hi Guys,
New to linux today so be easy on me but so far okish.

I have an HP NX9420 that was on XP. It all worked fine except the DVD.
Ive loaded on LL 2.0 and now the DVD works like a charm. Awesome.
I have connected to the net via hard wiring as I cant see any wireless network. THis is because I cant turn on the WLAN button (it has a blue light that has nothing happening) (that was working on XP this morning).
From reading other posts this is an issue but haven't been able to solve.

I managed to install rfkill;

# rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: yes

I also tried rfkill unblock all
This gave the error: Cant open RFKILL control device: Permission denied.

So basically im out of ideas so can anyone suggest something a noob can understand?

Thanks

Searched here first
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...on=search2

Read the Manual
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/appearance

[Image: 408_theme1.png]

[Image: 971_theme.png]

But as you can see. My themes are not taking in Settings>Appearance GUI. My ~/.icons change worked just fine however.

Also. Looking in

Code:
harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ cd /usr/share/themes harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:/usr/share/themes$ ls AgingGorilla  Crux    Emacs  MediterraneanLight  Moheli  Smoke Atlanta      Daloa    Esco    MediterraneanWhite  Raleigh  ZOMG-PONIES! Bright        Default  Kokodi  Metabox            Simple harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:/usr/share/themes$

These others do not show up in my 2nd screenshot either for some reason.

Dear LL community,

Have been using LL for quite some time now and loving it. My old Toshiba Satellite is very happy too.

I'm dual-booting LL and WinXP. I'd like to give LL more breathing space. Currently I've got a partition sda2 formatted ntfs and dedicated WinXP, it only contains files and I'd like to incorporate it into LL. How do I do that? WinXP lives on sda1.

Any help would be very appreciated, thx

Hi guys Smile

This is my very first attempt at any Linux based OS, and I have to say that I really like it.

I am using an old Acer Aspire One ao751h and the OS looks good and runs quick.

However, I got one issue:

I am trying to watch youtube videos on firefox and they are slightly choppy but watchable (unless in fullscreen, that lags badly), but sound skips alot, making the experience terrible.

Any idea on how this could be fixed?
Please, I am really ignorant in Linux, I can barely use the Terminal and I have no idea on how to fix this.
