Hello from a newcomer to Linux
I am looking at using Linux (in this case LinuxLite 1.0.6) instead of WinXP and have installed it on my PC
My webcam is a MS Lifecam VX-2000 which attaches via the usb port.
I tried Skyping my daughter - the video works fine but she couldn't hear me. Investigating the Pulse Audio system showed the moving bar under the analog mono microphone labelled for the webcam, in "Input devices" moves as I speak but only for a few seconds, then stops and will no longer move.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
Many thanks

Hello All,
After hours of researching I was able to install or make my wireless card work using NDISWRAPPER. Its a Linksys WPC54GX ver. 2 model. I surfed the net like a pro and celebrated with a nice hot chocolate at 2am. When I went to turn the laptop off it just froze. If i pullout the wireless card from the machine it shuts down with no problem.
I am stumped. I am computer savvy but new to linux.
Please Help!

Hi all,

I have used NOIP2 many times over the past years. I just recently upgraded my system to LL 1.0.8 and this morning have tried a number of times to install noip2 from source. Every time it has failed with an error....

if [ ! -d /usr/local/bin ]; then mkdir -p /usr/local/bin;fi
if [ ! -d /usr/local/etc ]; then mkdir -p /usr/local/etc;fi
cp noip2 /usr/local/bin/noip2
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -C -c /tmp/no-ip2.conf
make: execvp: /usr/local/bin/noip2: Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 127

Ever since ubuntu removed noip2 from the repositories, this has gotten increasingly more difficult. I would love some assistance to get noip2 installed again on LL 1.0.8

Thanks,
Ken

Hello!

Has anyone else seen this review? If so, what do YOU think about it?

3. Linux Lite

If you’re both new to Linux and using old hardware, Linux Lite is for you. Containing a taskbar familiar to Windows XP users everywhere, Linux Lite takes speed and combines it with simplicity in perfect fashion. An example of this is their renaming of all major softwares. Rather than having their original, technical names, such as gedit and Rhythm Box, Lite follows a more straight-forward approach for those of you who haven’t used Linux previously; choosing-instead to name them Text Editor and Music Player, so you’re left with little guess-work in choosing the program that best suits your current needs.

However, not to take away from one of the best distros available, bar-none, if you’ve used Linux in the past and have some general knowledge on its usage then it’s probably best to skip this one in favor of those yet to be mentioned. As Lite, while incredible, isn’t quite up to par with the next two on this list.

Lessee... Bodhi uses the Enlightenment Desktop, and Lubuntu 13.10's buggy, with an uncertain future. In MY book, that moves LL to the #1 spot.

Hi. This is a newish install of LL and this is the first time I've used Xarchiver.

1. Just zipped 135 files with 10 errors: "Can't find ........". All the error files have "[" and "]" characters.

2. other folders+subfolders just make Xarchiver abort - no error message, nothing
E.g.  archiving a Wine prefix containing folders: dosdevices and drive_c, and files: .update-timestamp and 3 .reg files. Just aborts. These folders/sub-folders have links in them. Maybe it's trying to follow them?

I've lost confidence in this program already. Is there a better alternative, like WizZip?

There have been many changes across the LTS releases since 12.04.
Here is a look at what Linux Lite based off 14.04 may look like in the future...

Need a bit of help here please before I jump in at the deep end and lose my data  :-[
I am currently dual booting windows xp sp3 and mepis linux (debian based) and would like to go to a single operating system like LL that will run my xp programs and linux but I don't want to lose my bookmarks and contacts/contacts etc.
If I install LL onto the existing linux partitions ie: root/swap/home will it overwrite or preserve the data in the home partition ? If it overwrites the data how can I save it/reinstall it ?
Once I have done this how do I import my bookmarks/contacts etc from xp ? Once this is done it's a simple matter to delete the windows partition and expand the linux partitions to use the whole hdd.
Hope this makes sense, thank in advance for any help 

LinuxLite user for some time now (got here from old location notice)

Replaced wireless usb from an Alfa - G ... which is Ralink to an Alfa N usb which is also Ralink...
(Ralink Technologies 802.11n usb wireless)

Windows 7 picked it up instantly but I have lost wireless with LL completely.

Don't know how to install these since the inintial LL installation took care of setting up the previous wifi configuration.

There is are 2 included Linux driver tar files one in a folder titled 3070 and the other in a folder titled 2770. No instructions included  :-\

My LL 1.0.8 install to hdd has just started asking me to login and I have tried a number of things but am still locked out.

The words were:

(Where xxxx were some numbers that i do not recall.)

After I type the name I inserted at install time and push enter it asks for my password which I put in and then it just asks me to login again. At present I am working from LL live cd.

This is the first restart after my Menu muckup which was not fixable, so I wonder if more than the Menu has been mucked up...
