I clicked on Help in Bluetooth Devices and was connected to -- http://blueman-project.org/forum . If I click on Help Manual it takes me to Linux-Lite manual  but if I Click on Forum I was taken to -- https://bbs.linuxdistrocommunity.com/for...php?fid=62 .

Please could someone arrange for the  links to be updated to the correct Site.

As a New user from Windows I do not find the Manual very informative or Linux very user friendly when I experience problems of which I have had too many . Trawling through lots of Topics many of  which often get out of hand and then fail to give an answer or give complicated command line options  .
As Linux-lite is supposed to be  an alternative to Windows XP etc  I did not expect to have to learn Commands to resolve problems . As a 70 year old learning tends to become harder.

I have read other peoples comments that what they want is an Operating System that works behind the scenes to make the necessary connections between the Computer Hardware and the needs of the Program Software  so they can complete the task they want to achieve easily and not have to spend days sorting out the operating system faults first .

Currently I have yet to resolve :-
(1) the Number Lock forced on in Lite but not in Mint (when I tried that)
(2) Cannot get Crome browser as default
(3) Bluetooth device pairing but not connecting to Headset option

Hello all.
Once I installed it on my compaq mini 110 I have start up prob.
On restart or normal start the screen goes blank,I can hear it trying to load without success.
I have to restart it 3-10 times before I get the splash screen and it loads ok.

I've tried installing Linux Lite on my old XP machine but the graphics chip just won't allow the destop to appear fully, so I gave up on that machine. I have a Windows 7 laptop which will run it fine on the live DVD. My issue is, I'd love to run it alongside Windows 7, but my internal HDD is only 250 gb. I have a 500 gb external usb hard drive and I was wondering if it's possible to install Linux Lite on that drive, and if so, how should I go about it. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi:
I tried for several days to try and solve this problem.  I really thank everyone who tried to help.  The end result is I purchased a set of USB speakers.  They worked right out of the box.  All you have to do is plug them in and open Pulse Volume Control and make the USB audio your default.

Also, I having trouble setting up the sounds for when you open and lose programs etc.  I know where to do it, but it says it needs to be supported by candberra.  Where do I find CANDBERRA,

Thanks..everyone!!!

Hi,
as we use old Clients whose hard drive is the most faulty component we would like have a USB installation we can move to a different PC anytime.

We have a few questions:

Is it possible to install on a USB KEY and have writeable for normal operations as a regular partition ?

Is the Linux Lite installation hardware dependent in some way ? Lets us explain better: we don't know if drivers are dinamically loaded at boot or they are "fixed" during the installation.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
  as written in my introduction, I have 5 clients running linux lite.
  All of them are used to connect to our Server 2008 via RDP

  The network is configured with only one fixed IP address assigned to the server.

  Installing the system is really easy. You put the live CD on it, partition the drive and run installation.

  From time to time we need new clients as old on usually fail in some area. The most faulty component is the hard drive.

  Due to this reason it would be really great if we could install Linux Lite on USB Key, configure it and have it always ready to run simply moving the USB Key.

  I will start a different topic for this question on a different area.
  The default software we install on every client is
  Skype
  Remmina

  We have encountered few issues with the Remmina client:

  The Key LCTRL, LALT, and @ are not working. The numeric / prints "-".
  This creates many problems with our daily work. A workaround has not been found.

  In the future we will install and try more software.
  We will need an SIP client and some office software.

  Our client PC are at least Pentium4. I don't know if anything less would work.

  Thanks to the authors of the distribution. I hope we could help improve your project with our daily experience.

  Regards,
    Giuseppe Chillemi

 

Hi,
  I am starting to remove windows from my company.
  Actually, only the central server has Windows 2008. All client but one are Linux Lite based and they access the server via RDP
  I have tried everything:

Ubuntu (too slow)
Xubuntu (on one client I have had video problems)
Linux mint (not working on some PC)
Thinstation linux (few problems)
Luninux (some boot problems)
DSLinux (too old)

Linux lite worked everywhere but one PC whose RAID on baord controller is not supported and Bios if forced to boot from it.

I have an amiga background and I find in it something familiar... I don't know why.

I would likely donate to the project and I'll do this soon.

Now I am here to become a Pro user of Linux Lite with your help.

Hope this project will last forever.

I am a big fan of Linux Lite.  Great distro.  Very reliable and very user friendly.  Just curious as to whether there is any kind of projected time line for the release of 2.0!

hello everyone!
I've installed xp and linuxlite on my machine (on diff partitions of the same HD) and I'd like to change the default OS to be XP as opposed to linux for the time being. Right now, it's set to linux. Is there a user-friendly way to accomplish this?
Thanks for the help.
