I remote into another laptop with NoMachine and Teamviewer and the linux lite 5.0 is "session lock" and usually a press of the mouse brings me to the login screen. This time it wont go there. Is the a bug in this version of linux lite? Can anyone help figure it out?


thanks

Hey, I have an AsusTek usb wifi that does not seem to be turning on. I think it needs a driver. But I am not sure where to get it from. I have looked in the forum and have had no luck. The actual cd that comes with it says there is a driver for Linux but I don't know how to install it. Any help would be great
thanks

here is some info:

Help

Omdat LL 3.8 einde support nadert, ben ik een paar weken geleden overgestapt van LL 3.8 naar LL 5.0.
Ik gebruik een nogal oude HP 7800 desktop. LL 5.0 startte veel langzamer op dan LL 3.8 op deze desktop. Ik las ergens dat de kernel 5.4.0 veel zwaarder is dan vorige kernels zoals 4.15.0. Daarom heb ik nu LL 4.8 met deze laatste kernel geinstalleerd. Mijn systeem start nu veel sneller op. Ik ben hier heel tevreden mee!
Ik vroeg me af of het mogelijk is om LL 5.0 te draaien met b.v. kernel 4.15.0? Ik las wel dat een stap naar een nieuwere  en zwaardere kernel gemaakt kan worden. Maar is het omgekeerde ook mogelijk?
Is er iemand die mij kan helpen deze vraag te beantwoorden. Bij voorbaat dank.Paul.

A few weeks ago I switched from LL 3.8 to LL 5.0.
My old HP 7800 started up very slowly compared to LL 3.8. I found somewhere the remark that Ubuntu kernel 5.4.0 is much heavier than kernel 4.15.0. Therefore I stepped back from LL 5.0 to LL 4.8. This made my system start up much faster.
I wonder if it possible to run LL 5.0 using a kernel of the 4.x series such as 4.15.0.?

I had Linux mint on my old Craptop and when i tried to update the system it crashed.So i got rid of mint and installed Lite and it is working really well.And now i can update my Lite system with it not crashing.    (HAPPY DAYS).

Linux Lite considered one of the two best variants of Ubuntu by redditor, 'thefanum', near the bottom of this Pop!_OS thread:

Another one that's bound to be my ignorance:
Sorry in advance, this is another stupid one:

I want to install Chromium - I don't like Chrome (or Firefox) and I currently have Chromium installed on my U16.04 machine and a couple of others and I'd really like to stick with it.

I read a post here:  https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...do-i-tick/

This clearly says I should be installing from Lite Software and one of the posts refers to a Search box but on my Lite Software I can't see one...so don't get as far as having the option to click.

Where should I be looking?

I installed the Linux Lite operating system on my computer just today. I am liking it, however, the scrolling direction in the touchpad is in the opposite direction. I soon found the reverse scrolling option in the touchpad settings, and activated it right after but nothing has changed. I tried rebooting too, no change. Please suggest me a fix to get back my reverse scrolling. I love it. Please someone help me

I put Linux Lite 4.8 on my friends desktop computer and all went well.
He's been using the computer with no errors for four days now. He went to his Photos folder where I had placed several thousand of his photos of all types and the folder is  now empty. Not one photo was present. I had him go to the recycle bin and it too was empty.
He says he did not delete any photos but did up load more photos from a thumb drive. They uploaded with no issues.
I had him check to see if somehow the photos file was sent to the thumb-drive,they had not.
Any ideas as to what has happened to his photos or where they went?

a nice overview i found on youtube about a LL:
