Hey guy's I know I mention this little problem before in the "Introduce Yourself" section of the forum but, since there's already a section for this related problem I'll post here. Okay guy's? Like I mentioned before, we have one Dell PC with LL installed as primary OS coming from Windows XP. Since installing LL on our system when logging out of a user account and shutting down the OS, it always asks for the admin password which is really annoying. Anyway to turn this off or get rid of it? Thanks.

Hello All,

I have read several posts in this forum regarding Broadcom issues but nothing seems to work. I have added the broadcom drivers though Install/Remove programs and now even the wireless light does not show. Prior to that install I would get a wireless light but it would not show my home wireless and only listed a couple in our area. I presumed it was a Broadcom issue and have been trying to update the drivers in hopes it would fix my issue. Below is my output for my cards as I am presently using an AirLink to post this and get WiFi temporarily.

lspci | grep -i wireless
06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

Am I supposed to take further action after installing the broadcom drivers via Synaptic, i.e. terminal commands and such or should it detect my hardware after install?

I am bewildered and really want a solution if possible. Thank you for the help.

Hello All,

Wow, I am only a few hours into Linux Lite and I can tell you from all my distro hopping that this is the best distro of any I have tried! I have gone through about 15 distros and was looking for something lightweight but beautiful and configurable and LL fills the bill in so many ways. Thank you so much to the developer and his team for all their hard work and for such a tremendous distro. I will be recommending and installing this on every one of my user's systems when they are looking for a change from Windows/Mac. This is my go to distro and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

Installed properly from USB to sata drive,
on reboot 1.0.8 refused to start X
dead stop.
releases need to be tested on REAL machines and not virtual machines.

I'd file this under bugs but I am blocked. That pisses me off

tried to install 1.0.8 onto notebook with hard drive pre partitioned
sda2 was set for / and to be formatted to ext4
sda3 was set for /DATA and preformatted  as ntfs
ubiquity refused to continue.

that's a show stopper if one has data they want to be kept while migrating away from microsoft.
I hate M$ with a passion!

I tried to register to report bugs but was blocked.
I tried to register to the forum but was delayed for hours.
If this the policy then say so up front on the site.

Noticed that when running the script 'Install Updates' it re-downloads the same manual every time. Shouldn't
the script check to verify what version is installed?

I have seen Linux videos where the desktop image was animated.
I have tried;
A-Desk and livewallpaper.
I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
A-desk said right click on desktop and to to script, couldn't find that. So I uninstalled that.
I extracted livewallpaper, now I'm just confused. :-\
Please and thank you.
Cheers.

My GRUB is messy, especially after installing PAE kernel, now i have to go to "Previous Versions" submenu and boot LL from there.
Is there any way to remove all these Memtests, Recovery Modes and such to keep it nice and clean.
Since i have XP Dual boot, i would like my GRUB to look like this:

Linux Lite
Windows XP

pls point me in right direction
