What are the advantages of using a long term release like Ubuntu vs. a rolling distro for the basis of Linux Lite?

The more I read about Linux, the more confused I get. :-\

Hi have been a member of the linux distro community forum but as i only use linux lite now reckon i  better join the lite forum.
Hoping to be around for quite some time.
Thanks

Installed Linux Lite on my mate's old laptop last week, his major complain being that he can't change the brightness. Not by the Fn keys or elsewhere.

Anyone got any clue on how to fix that? Real Linux newbie here still, but I installed Linux Lite so that his dying laptop could perhaps last a little longer. Windows was crippling it even further.

So, any thoughts on how to troubleshoot/fix that?

Hello everyone. My name is Jim and I just downloaded and installed Linux Lite. I feel like a fish out of water. I can't even figure out how to install a program that isn't already in the system. I was wondering if there might be a good tutorial to watch to figure this all out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Have a great day!

I clicked on the revert button to reset my menu - but it did not go back to the original state as it was during and after installation. Instead, the "Install Updates" disappeared and the icons for the first 3 submenus for System went missing.

:-\ After reading post about users losing their menu items, Linux Lite installed modified desktop, and warnings from Valtam about resetting menu I wonder about the Install Updates - Terminal. Some of the updates I can see are from Jerry Bezencon (Valtam) but some but some are from Ubuntu and some I do not reconize. Are all updates offered by this program from or screened by the Linux Lite Development Team; therefore, safe to do?

I no longer even ask Synaptic to check for update dues to be concerned about messing up Linux Lite.

Hi,

In Synaptic Software manager I lock a version of gqview, it appears red in Synaptic and seems to indicate it's locked. But when I do a dist-upgrade it updates to geeqie and newer version of gqview.

Is there away when I run upgrade to skip the "upgrade" for gqview or block anything named geeqie?

A friend of mine gave me his MFC-240C all in one printer. I see brother in the
printer setup but not for mine.

So what do I install to make it talk to my linux lite latest 32 bit os?

This is a weird problem and probably not what is really intended by "games support" but I had installed sudoku and it worked a couple of times but now it just doesn't respond when I click on it. i googled it and saw some people had a similar problem but supposedly it was fixed in the latest version. Any ideas? I can see launchpadintegration on the installed list, but this is the error I get when I run the command in the terminal:

Quote:ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for LaunchpadIntegration

Hey guys. I have put up a Minecraft server and need help getting the word out about it.
As the server grows I will need someone dedicated to being a Admin/Mod and will need more staff as time goes on.
You can earn a position by coming on and playing and being loyal to the server.

The server address is : 192.95.29.141:25708
Thank you.
