Happens on 2 netbooks using Lite 2 but  Works OK on both  dual booting to Windows

Tried deleting all Skype Files , uninstalling Skpe , re-installing it and a reboot .

This might be usefull for those with small screens.
If you follow this tutorial you can setup a virtual screen that is bigger than your physical screen.
So, it's like you have a zoomed in screen and you move from one corner to another when you position your mouse to the screen edge.
First test your display screen size, device, available resolutions and refresh rates.

Output will be similar to this:
From this you can see I'm using VGA-0 as my primary display device and 1920x1080 resolution with 60Hz refresh rate.
If you are using laptop or netbook, your device will probably be LVDS.
Lets say I want to use 2100x2100 virtual screen size.
I can set this with
--rate sets refresh rate
--mode sets physical screen resolution, set it to your default screen resolution
Importanton't use resolutions or refresh rates your monitor don't support for your physical screen!
--output for me is VGA-0, change it to your device for example LVDS
--fb sets virtal screen size
--panning sets panning area
--fb and -- panning are tipically the same values
If I want to switch back I will use this
Note that this will not be saved to your configuration, so the next time you log it won't be applied.
If you want to save it you must create a file .xprofile in your home directory and make it executable.
This never happened to me but just in case:
If OS fails to start GUI press f7 while it's booting up, login as root and delete .xprofile
rm -f ~/.xprofile

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.

Clean up

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...
