I just wanted to recognize some of the AMAZING people we have around here.

It's not my style to thank people individually because I'm afraid I would miss someone out, or make the lesser contributors sound less important, which they are far from.

So from me Jerry, thank you to all the people that are helping others out here, it's incredible to witness and makes every hour spent developing this OS well worth the effort. Your etiquette, demeanor and level of plain-english-detail in your replies does not go unnoticed.  You know who your are...

I'm re-arranging the Main Menu (Alt+F2 - alacarte) and by mistake deleted all Help icons. I'm not sure if those icons are just links to the Help web page or to a file on the hard drive. If it's a file then I would appreciate if someone could post the command. Thanks.

Hi all

I used Linux on and off for some years never really got my head round it so been dipping my toe back in with Linux Lite. Did use Mint for a bit but had driver problems.

Anyway to my question

Hi
I am using a Netbook with 1024 x 600 screen

I am trying to Export a Gimp File in JPG

The Export Dialogue Window pops up OK but is not all visible on the screen . I cannot get at any of the buttons or the top of the Window to exit . I want to be able to move the window to a better location

I believe there are Keyboard shortcuts in xfce  but have had no luck getting any to work . Do they need installing or should they work out of the box . what shortcuts do I need to use

Colin

Dear Team,

When i updated the LL through install update, it asks for some of the options as shown in this attachment. What should a user do. Can we not avoid such dialogues and the updater takes care by itself as this will be a hindrance for the new users to0 adopt the LL or there should be a provision to give instructions to user what options to choose while update at the beginning of the update.

Dear Team,

The lightdm-webkit-greeter window opens sometime while booting and the desktop stays blank as given in this attachment, it gets closed when the window close is pressed and LL works normally,

Why this is happening, what is the remeady

Arun

I currently have Ubuntu loaded on a desktop with modest resources (dont want to spend alot of money).
I do have a memory upgrade on the way ..

Am considering a "liter" version... I have to ask.

What makes Linux lite, well, lite compared to lets say a Ubunto LTS distro ?

Some stuff is missing I would imagine...

My LL has been working flawlessly for the last few weeks and today, out of a blue, I can't login. It seems to be booting ok and the problem is at the login screen. I removed the splash screen long time ago and I boot all my distros from Grub4Dos bypassing Grub2:

I watched a distro review on Linux Help Guy then looked at his comments section https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZJGcgeKADhL0uVscQ25Sxg/discussion. Kevin M had complained about LL and the LL forum, for example, "... The Linux Lite OS forum is a not at all helpful - asking a question means they send you a PM telling you to look on Google for answers to any questions you may have. ..." He definitely did not know what he was writing about in this comment and the rest of his post.

I would have responded but do not have a Google account and do not particularly want one. Someone with an account may want to respond to him.

(When Steve Holmes, a.k.a. SneekyLinux, PuppyLinuxWord, started this new channel he was going to do a series on LL 2.0 then changed to Linux Mint and now to MX 14.)
