Hello,

these show some of the supposed cyber threats Live as they are detected on the maps.
Something like these would be interesting as an open source desktop software.

On Norse look at the LIVE attacks listing box, and how many are Microsoft, this is good info to help converting people to a more secure OS of LL, as the visual image may help where words have not.

Because Pale Moon is not available through Synaptic for Linux Lite, I installed it manually in the usr/opt directory. It works, but it doesn't appear in the Whisker menu and I can't figure out how to add it to the menu panel. I know this is possible because I somehow already did it! :-) I did it with Reaper, which I installed the same way, but that was two weeks ago and I didn't keep notes on what I did. This time I will write it down in my Linux scrapbook (which I keep as a page in CherryTree - if you haven't tried this program, you are missing a great one, and it's in the repository, plus your files will be readable on a Windows machine, too). If I ever figure it out again, LOL.

I have a secondary drive in my computer with two partitions on it. Each time I reboot, I have to manually mount those two partitions so I can get to them. Supposedly, you can make these auto mount via Gnome Disks, which is the utility called "Disks" in the Linux Lite Whisker Menu. However, when I try this, I don't get any dropdown menu for either of those partitions that allows auto mount. It doesn't matter if I run Disks as a superuser or not - there's just no menu with this option in it.

Anybody else run into this? Is the only way to do this by editing fstab manually?

With all previous installs of Linux Lite (3.4 - 3. 8) there has been an option to erase disk and install Linux. That option is not available. I do not want Windows 10 at all. All videos I've looked at for LL4.0 install show that as an option. Do I have a bad installation media?

Hi all.
I have recently been having issues with booting my PC. I have been getting this error:

Hello,
can anyone tell me of a reputable public access ssh server ?
A few Chapters back in The Linux Command Line book -

pages 182-185 cover access, login, ls remote system to local system, tunneling (xload (or  yload)), scp and sftp.

More recent chapter -
page 209 covers tar piped from remote system to local system for a documents folder.

I wanted to try these things out rather than just read how they are done.
I do not wish to try setting up an ssh server as I'm just learning the very basics of it at the moment.
The server if any knows one, would need to be a little bit tolerant like not ban my ip address if I type a command wrong/typo or such.

Edit -
solved this, I will set up ssh server somewhere using one of my Raspberry Pi, so I can access it using my LL desktop from home.
I want to get to a specific chapter in the Linux Command Line book first before stopping, then I will spend the time on this as a small project until it is completed, and go back to the book afterwards.

Hello,

I wanted to add my apps to the menu and am stuck.
The Python scripts live in the home folder currently.Their desktop launchers live in a folder on the desktop named shortcuts, which was just a temporary choice as I didn't want them on the desktop, after adding to the panel it was too many icons for my liking.The desktop launcher icon I use is /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/24/application-community.svg
This meant I still had a folder on the desktop for the launchers.

After recent updates, unsure which exactly caused it, but I know 3 were Python updates.It added the 3 desktop launchers in to the menu directory named SD, and they functioned correctly.

I don't like this icon/directory, and had issues with it before with Etcher which lives in the downloads folder instead as I was unable to solve that.
In trying to put this in another menu directory I ended up messing up the first launcher, so deleted the other two, as two is not three, and the SD directory disappeared as there is nothing being used in it.

I added a new item in Main Menu Editing , tried several directories, it would not appear in the menu.
But if I create it in the SD folder it does appear in the menu.Whereas the Python icons are under the Development Directory, but the launcher will not appear or make this directory appear in the Menu.
The next part of the problem is when creating the launcher in the SD directory, the usual desktop icon when set appears in Main Menu Editor, but it will not appear in the Menu, instead it appears as a blank space, I know it is possible for this icon to appear in the menu directory as initially after the updates it used this icon on all 3 in the menu.
Not so important, but it might be better to have its own Menu directory so I can put these 3 and any future ones in the same place, in case there are any issues.
After the Etcher Saga, I have never tried editing the menu at all in any way.
After these updates it sort of planted a seed that it would be better in the Men as it means I wouldn't need to have a folder on my desktop for the launchers, as I usually have zero folders or launchers on the desktop.

I also want to make new icons at a later time by wrapping the flags around each of the above icon, Gimp cannot do it, it says in the text editor they are made in Inkscape, which I don't have installed and have never used but its another topic for later, if I get stuck on that.I think I installed it once maybe in LL series 2, but didn't use it.

According to QDirStat looking at / I have 10.7 gigs of stuff on my system disk, which is a 120 gig SSD. I realize that it doesn't actually give me 120 gigs - actually, my terminal tells me it's only 109.5 gigs. I can live with that - I'm used to the formatted disk being smaller than the advertised size.

So I have 109.5 gigs of disk here, with 10.7 gigs of files on it. Why, then, do I only have 83.6 gigs of free space? I deleted my Timeshift backup file, which was something like 7 or 8 gigs, but it seems like I never got the free space back. I checked, and there are no trash bins with files in them, and if there were, they should show up in the QDirStat program's listing.

By my math, there's something rather large that I can't find here.

The way I read it, Timeshift is supposed to make a first backup of my system, then each time after that it adds to it. That isn't what is happening; each time I try to use it, it creates another full backup. Where is the setting that changes this? I only have a 120 gig system disk and I can't afford to have a bunch of giant files taking up space on it. Each one is 9 gigs or so. This doesn't seem at all like a "system restore point" to me - rather, it's just a ton of system backups. And worryingly, it won't let me do them on my other disks, because they are not NTFS, they are FAT32.

I realize that you can go in and manually delete old backups via Timeshift, but I'd rather get it to do what I read about in the documentation, and which I thought it was going to do.

Also, after trying different filter options about what actually gets copied, I noticed that a backup with all the "include" options set isn't any bigger than with those set to "exclude". That really doesn't seem right.

does anyone know if the Logitech K-380 Bluetooth keyboard is compatible with Linux Lite?
