I'm currently developing a Welcome Screen for the next version of Linux Lite. It is a fork of the Manjaro welcome screen, customized for Linux Lite. Here is a teaser of the work so far...

I got a hand-me-down eee from my Mom who needed to get off unsupported winXP. LM XFCE was my first choice, but I couldn't get the wifi working. So tried this distro instead.
Nice work - I'm surprised this distro is so low ranking on distrowatch - should be higher.

p.s. Feel free to visit my website (signature) - alot of useful links.
It seems some people are getting confused whilst upgrading, when faced with the following options:
Configuration file '/etc/issue'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** issue (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?
Configuration file '/etc/lsb-release'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.

In the next version of Linux Lite I'm looking at holding back this package, in the meantime to do this open a terminal:
sudo apt-mark hold base-files
Hi, my name is Alberto Boschini and I am a newbie here. I just have installed Lite last friday night and I am trying to learn as much as I can. Once I have done this, I would like to offer all the help I can to people who, like me, will start to walk this way.
I like it a lot. I know I have not seen much yet, but I am pretty sure I will shortly, and as I said, I am willing to learn as much as I can. Love this thing!
Thanks. Hope to hear from you people soon,
Cheers,
Alberto
I am new to Linux, have tried various distros over the last month or so and Linux Lite 2.0 is the one I plan on sticking with, awesome for a few days, no bugs what so ever!
Hi there! My real name is Ray, but you can call me either Ninja or Ray (I like both). Been a Linux user for about three years now, and was a distro hopper for 99% of that time. Tried Linux Lite out after noticing it on www.distrowatch.com and figured I'd give it a go after finding Debian 7 XFCE to not suit my needs. Installed LL via USB a couple days ago and have been loving it ever since!
Once again, hello and I hope to get a chance to talk to everyone soon! ;D
Hey LL Team, new user here! First, let me say that I love LL! Soooo aesthetically appealing and friendly! Couldn't be happier with 2.0!
So, here's my small problem (more of an annoyance, but enough for me to come to the forums for help).
This doesn't occur every time I start up Chrome, but seems to happen more frequently when I restart or start up my laptop. I access Google Chrome from the Whisker Menu, and while it's booting up, a prompt pops up asking me to unlock the keyring. It won't allow me to use Chrome unless I pop my password into the prompt. Tried searching the internet for a solution to the problem, but so far, can only find solutions involving older (around v10.10) versions of Ubuntu, or entering System>Preferences, which I can not find via the Whisker Menu search.Is there any way for me to stop this from happening?
Thank you to anyone and everyone who can help me solve this issue.
Noobie here! I'm a big fan of Linux Lite since April 2014 and have been using 2.0 on all of our machines since June (Hoping that this is the forum to ask this question, so bear with me). Everything has been fantastic, until the last major update late, last week. After the update, all of the machines have the Ubuntu 14.04 splash screen. Not really a big deal, however, we keep getting an error when we try to fire up the Tor Browser. It appears to start up and then nothing. When we try to open it again, we get a pop up window that says: Firefox is already running, but not responding...
I go into the task manager to close it, but, same problem when we try to reopen it. The only way to get it working is to restart the machine. has anyone else here run into this problem? and what did you do to correct it?
Thanks in advance!

so i went to download Wine in the additional software box and after i pressed 24 and enter a pop up window keeps comming up saying... Cant Install Wine. any idea why that could be ? ???
I have a very recent Asus computer with an Atheros AR9485 wifi adapter. I have tested it with Lite and other Ubuntu variants. None of them recognize this adapter, yet it has been supported by Debian and the other distributions for years. Strangely, it does work in Manjero (I don't want to go there.....)
Does anybody know what to do in order to get wifi working?
(Thanks in advance.....)
