The "All Settings " window is a step in the right direction but I feel the DISPLAY settings could be improved and simplified for the occasional user to understand and is pointed in the right direction

Could  all the settings  needed to control what happens on the screen  be brought under one  common integrated  "Display "  Settings option  so there is no need to search in Power setting  (not an obvious place) / Screensaver settings / Desktop settings / Display settings . for settings which may conflict with each other . A screen brightness control could also be added .

Hi all, I just encountered this error just now. My netbook now hangs on the feather upon boot. I have tried recovery mode but still it won't boot. It keeps showing the error: /media/user/EXTERNAL is not ready yet or not present. But that makes no sense as that was my external USB drive that I use to transfer files an is not connected to my netbook. My OS is not even on that drive, so I don't know why it's not booting like it should.

Hello,

on windows I would use videoGet to download a YouTube video, then use VLC to save the audio from that .flv video as MP3 file, hence I gave this overall process the nickname yTunes.

How do I best now achieve this task, do I need a replacement program to videoGet, maybe there is a yTunes like software for LL ?

I think my computer hard drive died. :'( It had been crashing. Sometimes it said it had overheated. I could shut it down for a while and usually have to unplug it. It did not come back up this last time. I tried reinstalling Linux Lite 2.0 from the DVD but it said there was no space on the  hard drive. I am taking it in to a computer repair shop tomorrow to be checked.

Anyway if it costs too much to fix, what would you recommend to replace it?

From reading http://www.cupoflinux.com/SBB/index.php/...538.0.html looks like an AMD would be the best way to go. I do not have the skill to build a computer so a ready made would be necessary. I think $500 or less would be a good price with shipping and/or tax. I would want a DVD drive. Can reuse monitor, etc.

Is it possible to create a favourite system for posts.

There is an  options to"Show unread posts "but once they have been read they get lost .

Quite often I read posts that I want to refer to again and have to search through different categories trying to remember were I read it .

I would like to be able to mark ones I am interested in and be able to "Show Marked Topics " and get my own list when I want to view one of them  .

Could the Forum  Search Box colours be changed to easy to read ones . Preferably to good old Black Font on a White background so people with sight problems can see what is written .
I may be old and therefore old fashioned but its another case of style over content that designers throw at us forgetting their users needs .

Hello,
I am a newbie to Linux.

Does the Install Updates feature in Linux Lite update "User" installed apps as well or just the ones in the Distro
