Hello from one who is making the transition from Windows to Linux.

I've downloaded  several lightweight Linux distros trying to find one that a) works more or less straight out of the box, b) I'm comfortable with and c) offers good support. Linux Lite looks like it may be the best compromise for my aged hardware, a Samsung N110 netbook.

So far, so good. The only thing giving me trouble is getting Blueman to free up my Bluetooth serial port for other software to use. Details to follow, when I get totally lost, as I don't speak 'Linux' very well yet.

I hope this is the right place to post. I am on holiday and brought my HP streamx360 with Lite5.Everything was fine until two hours ago when I switched on and I was asked for my password.  This is disabled so I was surprised but gave it my usual pass for updates etc. It accepts then 10 seconds later asks again and again. Totally confused, can anybody help ?

How do I disable tooltips in Linux Lite 5? Tooltips are the little info boxes that pop up when hovering the mouse over an icon, especially an icon in a panel.

Thanks.

Just in case anyone was trying to install Ivideon Client on LL 5.0 or Ubuntu 20.04. I contacted the support team and informed that it currently does not work:

Dear User,

The SSL security certificates were changed in Ubuntu 20.04, so currently the released version of the Ivideon Client doesn't work with Ubuntu 20.04.

The updated version of Ivideon Client will support the Ubuntu 20.04 and it will be released very soon. Our specialists will definitely contact you.

I hope this will help some people.

Hi everyone,

I've installed Gigolo to facilitate my connecting to a Windows Server my MacBook Pro is tethered to via Ethernet. Gigolo works fine, but after adding it to the applications I want to launch on startup, I wonder how to have it start minimized in Plank (I've already anchored it to Plank).

There must be a command line argument to add, akin to the "-minimized" in Windows, but I don't know what it is. FWIW, "-minimized" does nothing.

How can I do that?

EDIT: Problem solved. I minimized Gigolo to Plank before shutting down Lite, and when it booted, Gigolo was already minimized in Plank, so all is well.

Hi everyone,

Though i really like Lite, it's becoming a nightmare using it on a daily basis. I reinstalled just last night after another round of arduous booting issues, and now, when I press the Power button, I'm only disconnected, not asked what I'd like to do.

I've tried to change the entry in the menu, reboot, put it back to "Ask", no go. I press the button, I'm back to the login screen.

I must add that I upgraded to the 5.8 kernel in Lite Tweaks, which came as a surprise, because I thought that branch was restricted to 64-bit, and my 2006 MacBook Pro can only run 32-bit.

Ideas, anyone?

EDIT: Problem solved. I must have inadvertently unchecked the "Show dialogue" box. Once checked, I had the choice to shutdown, restart, etc... again. 

Hello All,

I like to suggest a "One Click Optimization" Function at Linux LIte Tweaks
see picture



I think it could be used in different ways
> Start Up >> PC if fresh after new start
> Shot Down  >> PC if fresh for new start
> At other menues like Favorites or bottom bar

I think it will be a very good features for people didn't have to much computer experiance

Greetings

How do I solve the Communication Error 5012 problem

Hi. I created a secnd user account for my wife, but it doesn't resemble win xp like my admin account does. Is there a way I can fix that?

Hello,

I've recently installed the newest version of Linux Lite 5.0 on my older HP Stream BCM943142HM. When I attempt to find WiFi there is a rectangle in the lower right corner with an x on it that says "No network devices available". I am able to connect to my WiFi on my phone, new Acer Laptop running Microsoft. I am also able to connect to my WiFi when I use the live boot of Linux Lite on my new laptop. I'm unsure of how to fix this issue after googling and looking around the forum for an answer. Unfortunately the HP laptop I am trying gain WiFi access through does not have an ethernet port, so that it is not an option for internet.

My network card is:
