Since installing latest LL version (with latest Ubuntu LTS), every time I plug in a USB to charge cell phone, Shotwell opens up. Have no idea how to control this.

I installed the Mate' desktop environment on LL 4.2, but when I reboot I can't find where to select it to load instead of Xfce. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For a couple of days my windows7 and windows10 drives have been going read-only and I have to reboot and check their filesystems.

They are auto-mounted via fstab:

Hello everyone

As title says, I just can't still Linux Lite OS on my Acer Aspire ES 17, which has Celeron N3350 CPU. I tried the options on the BIOS, but the Secure Boot can't be disable and it has UEFI mode.

It always get stuck on "installing grub2 package".

I wonder, If I just remove the hard drive, connect it on a PC and install Linux Lite on that same hard drive and then connect it on my laptop back again, will it work ?

Will I need to install drivers ?

Thanks in advance

I have Linux Lite 4.2 and grub installed on ssd with the grub menu showing at boot.

My old windows 10 drive is still attached and mounted so I can browse files.

I can boot the old win10 drive through the bios boot menu, but would like to add the option into the grub menu.

Can anyone suggest a way to add an entry to chainload the windows10 drive through the grub menu?

Hello,

I have set up Linux Lite and have been using it for about a week.

I now want to set up ftp access to the computer.

I installed vsftpd and edited /etc/vsftpd.conf and can login through localhost.

But when I tried to ftp in from another machine in the house, it couldn't connect.

After some research I used ufw to allow ftp with:

I upgraded a laptop from LL 3.8 to LL 4.2 via a clean install of LL 4.2 two days ago.  I think I've counted about three .deb files I needed to install post LL 4.2 upgrade.  When I click on the .deb file, gdebi opens, and I click on Install.  The window disappears, and nothing happens.  I resort to installing the software using the command line with the "sudo dpkg -i" approach.  That does work.

I have used the reinstallation option in Install/Remove Software on the gdebi package to no avail.  Any suggestions?

I've been trying to install hplip for quite a while so I can use my LaserJet m1132 printer, but I've been unsuccesful. At first it failed to install the proprietary plugin from the HP servers, with this message displayed: "Plugin download failed with error code = 4". I uninstalled it and installed it again several times including cups to no avail, then I tried to install the plugin manually from the openprinting archive but it displayed this message: "error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed error: Plug-in install failed." What am I supposed to do to fix this issue? When I try to print it says that it can't communicate with the printer. I'm new to the linuxlite community and I still don't have much experience, when I was using lubuntu the printer worked fine after a little bit of work installing everything so I know it's possible to make it work on linux.
Thank you for your help.
