Hi Guys, I have just booted to Linux lite, with a view to installing it, to revive an old laptop, which I intend to give to a homeless charity. All seem to work. But I can't SU to root!!
I have tried "linux" "admin" and "root".. No joy!
What password should I use?

  Auto Boot
Posted by: mog - 09-03-2020, 02:22 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (10)

Hi All,
Newbie mog here. I have just installed Linux Lite on an old Asus Eee 904HD, I formerly had Linux Mint 19.3 on it, but whilst it worked it was very slow, so after some research I decided to give LL a try, I eventually managed to correct the automatic num lock problem (Who on earth decided that that was a good idea!!?).
Now the problem...
Since I installed LL on the machine whenever I apply mains power it auto boots, this has only happened since LL was put on it, I admit it's not the end of the world but it is at times irritating, sometimes I use the machine and all I want do is recharge the battery but as soon as the power is switched on it boots.
Can anybody help?

Beers
mog

So btw Turkish translations maybe wrong. Does aynı meant to be "mirror"? So its wrong it has to be "ayna" . Whereas aynı means same.

  Is there a way to show the clock in the top bar?
Posted by: UglyStuff - 09-01-2020, 11:00 AM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

Since I've installed Lite on a 15" MacBook Pro, I've decided to hide the Menu bar to maximize window display. Thing is, when i do that, I can't see the clock anymore, unless I trigger the Whisker Menu with the Command key.

I believe there's a way to add the clock, without or without date, in the top bar / application bar, but i can't find where in the Settings.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

PS: I thought I could easily add a screenshot to illustrate what I mean by top bar, but you can't easily do that, and I'm pressed for time.

  Is there a file explorer with a tree structure browser
Posted by: konan - 09-01-2020, 03:40 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

I  have just installer Linux lite - 'really like it except the file explorer that comes with it doesn't have a convenient tree structure in a left pane, like that of Windows Explorer.
Is there one that I can download and install on Linux Lite?  I see Konqueror has this but it says it is for KDE. I don't believe L-Lite is KDE. Is this right, or could I use Konqueror?

Thanks!!

  Icons are in /usr/share/icons, but I can't apply them
Posted by: UglyStuff - 08-31-2020, 06:42 PM - Forum: Desktop Customization - Replies (6)

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded, unzipped and copied icon sets to my /usr/share/icons folder, but when I go to Appearance and try to apply said icons, they're not in the list.

I've rebooted several times, I can't find them.

When I sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/*, I get an error message for one of the sets (Arc-ICONS), but that's it.
