Hi All!!

I've been a member for a while, but I just hadn't had the opportunity to say hi until now...So a big Hi to all of you...

I know some of you are part of the linux distro community, and so am I. However, as a full time Linux Lite user I thought I should be more active on this forum. Also because I wanted to try the new 2.0...

Thanks everyone... see you around!

Cheers! 8)

Hi is there a way to make the mouse pointer show busy whilst opening an app like say firefox etc.  My wife ends up trying to open numerous windows as she doesn't see pointer doing anything and assumes it hasn't started.

Hi I was wondering which tweak tool you would suggest was the best one for using with LL?

Hello, i have another question,
Using 2.0 beta,  I installed google chrome, (and chromium to test as well) and i am trying to get the shows on http://abc.go.com/shows    to play, but i get a error saying: Shockwave flash has crashed? i checked and chrome (and chromium) has the latest pepperflash installed, can anyone try this and confirm, is there a way to get the shows to play on abc.com and chrome (or chromium)? it works in winows and mac.

Also quicktime movies (not apple movie trailers) wont play in chrome or chromium either as in here:
http://www.apple.com/logic-pro/in-action/        Scroll down to:Nine inch nails take to the stage video, i get a message saying: Get quicktime?
Other than that everything is working great in beta 2.0, i am loving this OS, Thanks!

Hello, Just installed 2.0 beta(and 1.0.8) and think its fantastic! Almost have everything working. ( this is on a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop.

Im trying to find a windows replacement for my sisters laptop, so far i have tried Zorin os and Linux Lite 1.0.8
So far i have everything working except: System sounds (ex - Start up and shut down sounds, minimize and maximize windows, log on, log off, error ect... )
i have enabled: Event sounds under appearance Settings, tried to install some Canberra Stuff? Still no system or event sounds?
So far i am loving this OS and think i can get some people to switch to it, just need to get it working as close to windows as possible, so if anyone could point me in the direction i would appreciate it.

I have done numerous google searches spent a few hours trying things and still no system sounds working
(all the other sounds work, youtube, music, video, etc...
Keep up the great work this Os is going to be awesome!
Thanks,
Tommy

Support will no longer be offered in the IRC channel #linuxlite.
There are several reasons for this:

• In the time that it's been open, most users disconnect within 1-2 minutes if they don't get a reply.
  
• When someone does receive help, many people are disconnecting before that help is finished.
  
• Many people coming in are using IRC for the first time and have no idea how to use it giving them the impression we are not offering a user friendly facility.
  

Can $HOME be configured so the first letter is uppercase?

Thunar currently displays my home directory as:
scott - File Manager

I'm trying to configure things so Thunar displays my home directory as:
Scott - File Manager

The change is making the first letter in $HOME uppercase.

I've looked at file $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs but it's my understanding this only changes the folders *within* $HOME not $HOME itself.

Have been trying and failing to install COMODO Antivirus on Linux Lite. Does anyone have any idea please. thanks

Alright, I have an Asus G50VX with an nvidia 260m Which I believe is bad. Linux Lite 1.0.6 installs and runs fine. 1.0.8 Displays nothing but flashing white 2s on a grey background. Linux mint displays horizontal white and black stripes. Linux Ubuntu 14.04 displays zig zag blank and white stripes. This all happens whilst attempting to run off the DVD. I am curious if anyone would know why the different versions of Linux display different garbled images. I would also like to know if anyone might know why Linux Lite 1.0.6 works without any issues visual or otherwise. I am a very experienced computer tech and have worked with many different operating systems. This just has me baffled.

I'm thinking of adding the ability to install this in 2.0 but I am unsure of it's 'popularity' and use out in the wild.
Is this something that users really need? I'm loathed to include MS technologies, but the community may demand this as a necessary.
What do you guys think? How often do windows folk use silverlight in their daily computing?

You can test it by using the following:
