			<description><![CDATA[II just had to load a fresh copy of LL and have finally gotten all my programs loaded and preferences set.  Is there an easy (free) way to clone this drive to another SSD so that I have it for backup?<br />
<br />
If not, I can make another fresh copy of LL and set it up once I need it.<br />
<br />
Just curious.  Thanks]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Long story, I'll try to make it short.<br />
<br />
Dual boot system.  Linux Mint, Linux Lite.  <br />
<br />
The updated Nvidia drivers messed up my MINT, and through some help from their forum I was able to repair it.  But now when I try to boot to LITE I am unable because of a problem with Nvidia drivers.  I am totally lost and hope that I might get help repairing it so I don't have to do a fresh install.<br />
<br />
I CAN access the LITE file system using MINT.<br />

Thank you]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I’m dyslexic and have always relied on Text-to-Speech (TTS) software with clipboard functionality on my Windows PC and laptop. Since switching my laptop over to Linux Lite, I’ve been searching for a reliable TTS desktop application. So far, I’ve only come across eSpeak and Festival, but the voice quality is awful. I installed them through the terminal, yet configuring them has been a nightmare.<br />
<br />
At the moment, I’m using Read Aloud and ReadX TTS extensions in Chrome and Edge, which sound much better than eSpeak or Festival—but they don’t always work consistently.<br />

Does anyone know of a good TTS desktop program for Linux that supports clipboard reading?]]></description>

So are users expected to just ignore this setting while synchronization has been implemented in Linux Lite by default?]]></description>

It looks like the website no longer has a shop that sells the USB boot drives for later versions ?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
I'm experiencing a major issue with my VPN connection after the last Linux Lite update. Before the update, my VPN connection was stable and worked perfectly fine. Now, after the update, the VPN disconnects randomly every few minutes.<br />
I've tried different VPN servers and protocols, but the issue persists. I've also checked my firewall settings and network configuration, but everything seems to be in order.<br />
I'm using OpenVPN with the Network Manager plugin. I've also tried using the command line to connect to the VPN, but the issue remains the same.<br />
Here's what I've tried so far:<br />
*   Restarting my computer and network devices.<br />
*   Reinstalling the OpenVPN client and Network Manager plugin.<br />
*   Checking my firewall settings.<br />
*   Trying different VPN servers and protocols.<br />
*   Using the command line to connect to the VPN.<br />
I'm not sure what else to try. Has anyone else experienced this issue after the last update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
Thanks in advance!<a href="https://bizner.pl" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">.</a>]]></description>
