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.

EDIT 7/22/2014: removed The Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide from list -- seems to no longer work properly as pointed out by Dookus. Added Linux-Bible to the list after seeing post by NewYorker.
EDIT 3/29/15: as noted by N4RPS, Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide site is working again, so added back on to the list.
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 
Hi,
After installation and update of LL, i can't find native resolution of my monitor in Settings->Display.
My monitor's native resolution is 1360x760-75 Hz
in Settings->Display there is a lot of resolutions on list but not my native.
Currently it is set to 1366x768-59.8 Hz and right border of screen is cut off few pixels.
Driver is probably installed correctly since i can play 720p videos in .mp4 and .mkv formats fullscreen
Is there any way to set res. and refresh rate manually?
I have a HP deskjet 2540, I had issues with the scanner being detected so I installed hplip and now it will not even detect my printer and scanner at all with my usb connection so I cant finish installing my printer/scanner . What did I do wrong?
The printer is still detected when i plug it into my xp computer so its not the cord or the printer.
os Linux Lite 1.0.8
Hello fellow users. My first time here at the forums. My name is Shadow. We installed Linux Lite to our main PC(Well I did actually lol) as we don't have the money to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8 or even buy a new PC altogether. Linux seemed to be the only option for us as it's free to download and install sooo, we went with Linux Lite since it's meant to be good with older hardware so far am impressed by it's speedy performance. We've just moved from Windows XP to Linux Lite as it was the only distro we could find that would run on our old PC. It will be our first year with Linux. I do have a question though hope this isn't too much trouble to answer.
Okay so we have one main PC with 3 user accounts. One admin(me) and two normal accounts, the problem is when the other two normal accounts wants to shutdown the pc after use the system keeps asking for my admin password which starting to get annoying for the other two users. How can I make the computer shutdown without the need of my admin password? The version of Linux Lite where using is 1.0.8 32bit on a Dell machine.
Anyone reply thanks for the help. Oh and great OS keep up the good work!
Shadow.
Hi, i am new to Linux and just installed LL this morning.
I have 12 years old Pentium 4 (2.4 GHz) that still works like charm (i open it and clean once a year). Good old machine. I know it will run for many years more 
All those years it ran XP.
My sister uses it mostly for social networking and watching clips on YT, and my mum sometimes play solitaire on it.
I use it for extra storage since it has 2 hard discs so i can free some space on my lap. with Win. 7
LL has everything, i like it already and i hope i will learn more about it.
