Hi all, by accident I deleted the wifi icon in the taskbar,  :-[  now I cannot get it back. I searched in the start menu but I don't see how to enable this setting to show again any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, all new to this forum, but I had LinuxLite 1.0.6 for a while now and I love it. Now I want to install 2.0 on my Netbook. So what I did was take out my harddrive from my netbook its a 360GB SSD, and plugged it into my PC and formatted it using Windows 7 disk management to fully erase it. Now it's NTFS. So the problem now is, when I put my harddrive back in my netbook, used the liveusb to install 2.0 it gives me the error unknown filesystem. The drive is completely erased, is there a way maybe I have to format it to ext4 in Windows using a program that will let me?  :-\ All I want is LinuxLite on my netbook as the sole OS nothing else.

Thanks all 

Hi All

A pleasure to meet you.

Never been on a forum before and my linux/unix experience stretches all the way back to yesterday so sorry if I am having trouble with the blindingly obvious. I'm also an old guy and the the jargon and TLAS'a are a bit of a stretch at times so I crave your collective indulgence. I've been back throgh the archive for the last year with no similar problems which gives me some confidence I am just missing something simple (who said a brain?) which smarter people just fix.

To horse so to speak. I loaded Linux Lite yesterday onto an old Samsung N140 notebooke after speaking to the village evangelist (for LL) and it was a breeze. Much faster than W7 for start-up, the internet and all the things you already know better than me.

I keep all my data on a D-Link 323 NSA (Raid 1)so I hooked up following the instructions on the site. No problem so far. In use the device is recognised and I can access the NSA and navigate the file structure.

If I try to load a JPG by clicking on it or opening using using image viewer I get no error message but also no picture. If I do the same using GIMP I can see the thumbnail but get an error message which tells me that the folder and file don't exist and the thumbnail is out of date. If I navigate to the same picture from within image viewer I can view it. No joy with GIMP though. With documents I can't get anywhere. Libreoffice loads and then vanishes whichever way I come at it. Most of the documents, some .odt some .doc were created using open office. I copied a document to the laptop and Libreoffice opened it fine. I have had some limited joy with PDF's. Sorry about the bad language but my Windows computers access all of the files with no trouble so it is not a data corruption problem.

I would really appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Sorry to a be a bit long winded but we wrinklies never know when to stop....

Hey all

Been using LL for a few days, it's great.

No bloat, nice and smooth and not buggy.

Which is what i wanted after 14.04LTS and the not so good software centre.

I'll be staying with this distro. 8)

Am I the only person who can't download any software to my installation of Linux lite? I just want to install Google Chrome but it won't let me, nor can I install any other programs.

I noticed that if you edit the menus applications and click restore it adds an extra empty Internet menu. Also it is adding programs that I have uninstalled, how do I fix this.

I was trying to clear the annoying Skype icon from the notification area (near keyboard and battery monitor icons) and inadvertently deleted the volume control icon. I can't find any way to restore it to the panel. Can anyone help me with this?  Thanks

I tried installing Slimboat Browser, which I have found is a very good lightweight browser, using Gdebi, but though it shows in my applications menu, it will not open.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem.

is there a terminal command for this?

Hello fellows,

I was curious rather lately at search tools for the desktop taskbar.  I know there a few applications out there but it basically stems from when I curious about things and want to search firefox without opening the window.

I.e. my process is to click firefox button then type in search bar and then search.

What I would like to do is search using a built-in search bar on the task bar like I had in XP, does anyone have suggestions on what would be the perfect program please?  You see I'm not so bothered about files and folders just a quick link to searching on the web.

Ideas and opinions most appreciated thanks!  8)
