Help Please

Have clock on desktop showing dd/mm/yyyy and time 24hrs bottom right hand side screen, Task Bar ?

However saved mail record on Thunderbird has mm/dd/yyyy.  On Thunderbird Help it states that TB takes time from the PC's clock

What have i done wrong.  Is there any way I can change this? Don't want to have to reinstall.

Thanks.

Just downloaded and took a look at Lite 2.0 Beta and it looks and works faultlessly (and fast).  Glad to see it's based on 14.04 LTS "Trusty" so will be supported for quite a while.  I still have Lite 12.04 LTS on two desktops but when I find time to upgrade to this newer version I'll definitely do so.  Still no boot up on my old non-pae laptop (Pentium M) so will have to pass on that one until I replace the CPU.  How do you get so many good things packed into 699 MB??  Mystery of the ages.  Cactusneedle in Arizona, USA

Hi,
I am new to this OS.
I have a fresh installation of Linux Lite v2.0. The logging function in /var/log/syslog is not working--in fact, most of the logs show 0 bytes, despite me getting acquainted with the OS all day long.
I use iptables and depend on syslog to monitor network activity. Is there some configuration I must apply to enable logging?
Also, my iptables configuration is not being restored at boot-up from /etc/iptables.rules. I am following the same steps that always work on Ubuntu--placing the restore command as a pre-up instruction in /etc/network/interfaces. It would be nice if I didn't have to retype the iptables rules after each login! Does anyone know where I should put this command?
Thanks in advance.

Hi first of all thanks to all responsible for the new Lite 2.0 have been using it since it first came available for download as yet no major problems.
I have been having trouble uninstalling Libre Office suite once i have done the uninstall i am left with the icons in the office menu,
Clicking the icons do nothing as the software is no longer there i would just like to delete the icons as well as the software.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Some people had concerns about UK locale support:

Quote:Is there a fix in 2.0 for the "Locale Change" issue...
    Changing the locale to "English UK" causes the main menu items names for "Install Updates" & "Help Manual" to change.?

Listing all comments under the 2.0 beta announcement post gets difficult to follow. Posting this here to separate issues.

While using the Lite 2 beta live cd you will probably get an error "unable to find or create trash directory" when attempting to delete files (not folders).

Workaround solution
> terminal - deleting from the terminal works fine
> copy to a folder first - folders can be deleted without an error

Haven't tried this on an actual install yet but would be willing to bet it's not a problem.

Please pt-br not instaled... :-\ :'(

Hi all, have been using Linux Lite 1.6 and only just moments ago i installed Linux Lite 1.0.8. Don't blame me for the username lol the blame is my grandson's.

Good Morning,

New user - I am using Virtualbox and running 32bit.  Linux Lite is awesome, every thing just works, even my HP Scanner/Printer. 
The one question I have is on start up choices.  It highlights Previous Linux and above that is Generic or something ( I should have written down the exact choices) so curious as to which to select.
