Ok, I've been playing with LL most of the morning to try to become familiar with it.  I'm amazed I can get around so well in it so quickly.  Thanks for making it so user friendly.

I've not had any problems with LL so far but I'm a digital tablet user and want to set up my Wacom tablet with it.  I searched the forum here and didn't see any posts about tablets and just want to avoid any pitfalls before I attempt the installation. 

I found some directions at the Ubuntu forum (I think it was) which said everything was pretty much plug and play.  Is that the case with LL also? 

Is there anything I should be aware of before I try to hook up the tablet?  Will the drivers update automatically as they have in the past (although I'm sure there won't need to be many driver changes with LL)? 

This will be my first major change and I don't want to mess it up.  If the tablet is installed successfully, maybe I'll have the confidence to tackle the printer next!

I have Sony VGC-LA1 with a built-in webcam (ID 0ac8:c002 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC1) that is not working.
It has been checked with Skype, VLC, and Cheese. No results.
Is there any chance to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

I want to enable an user to start session on linuxlite with no password. Checking on Lite Users Manager, I can not find the option, just user and a pssword definitions is possible but no disabling password request.
How Can I do that.
Any help will be appreciated

When starting LL 4.0 on my laptop, it takes a considerable amount of time getting to the user log in screen after entering my password for cryptsetup ("Please unlock disk sda5_crypt").

Would someone please briefly explain this type of encryption system (in simple terms), if it's necessary and how to disable it?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,


Is there any way to have window tiling (split screen) like ubuntu?

[size=1em]This is not a permanent solution see last step below.[/size]

[size=1em]My test environment[/size]
[size=1em]Host: Win10 (sorry, I'm at work)[/size]
[size=1em]VM: LL4[/size]
[size=1em]Software on host/Win10: Virtualbox 5.2[/size]
[size=1em]Software/guest additions on VM: pre-installed/stock version[/size]


[size=1em]Let's begin[/size]

[size=1em]Add a shared folder in the LL4 virtual machine[/size]

[size=1em]Start the virtual machine[/size]

[size=1em]On a working system these two services should be running[/size]
[size=1em](systemctl | grep vbox)[/size]
[size=1em]--------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]vboxadd-service.service[/size]
[size=1em]vboxadd.service[/size]

[size=1em]On LL4 only one is running[/size]
[size=1em]-----------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]vboxadd.service[/size]

[size=1em]We need to start the additional service[/size]
[size=1em]-------------------------------------------[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl start vboxadd-service.service[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl enable vboxadd-service.service[/size]

[size=1em]If user is already a member of vboxsf group sharing should now be working:[/size]
[size=1em]> For me the share is listed in Thunar as sf_Downloads (/media/sf_Downloads/)[/size]
[size=1em]> An icon was not placed on the desktop[/size]


[size=1em]If user is NOT a member of vboxsf group they can be added to the group as follows:[/size]
[size=1em](Note, you generally only need to do this step one time)[/size]
[size=1em]We need to add user to the vboxsf group (cli)[/size]
[size=1em]sudo adduser scott vboxsf[/size]
[size=1em]OR[/size]
[size=1em]We need to add user to vboxsf group (graphical)[/size]
[size=1em]start > All > Linux Lite User Manager[/size]

[size=1em]Last step[/size]
[size=1em]Logout out and Log back in.[/size]



[size=1em]Note this will even work for the LL4 Live CD environment[/size]
[size=1em]Run terminal cmd[/size]
[size=1em]whoami[/size]

[size=1em]The answer on my system is - linux[/size]

[size=1em]Now just go through the steps above with user linux[/size]

[size=1em]When logging in/out the user is linux and the password is left empty (i.e. there is no password.)[/size]



[size=1em]Not a permanent solution:[/size]
[size=1em]For some reason this service is not starting automatically and these commands need to be run again after a reboot.[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl start vboxadd-service.service[/size]
[size=1em]sudo systemctl enable vboxadd-service.service[/size]

Hi, I've been downloading different Linux distros for some time but had problems with all until Linux Lite!!! My old computer just couldn't handle any other distro. but I just installed Linux Lite 4.0 today with no problems. 

Of course I have a ton of questions as I haven't had a chance to play yet and don't speak 'Linux' at all, but I promise to search for answers before posting any dumb questions!

This is really exciting as I've wanted to switch to Linux for a very long time.  I'm well past retirement but have liked computers since I first discovered them.  Now that I'm retired, I have a little more time to learn more and hope this forum is a good place to do that.

I paid special attention to matching the blue on the panel to Windows Basic Theme, so it feels familiar to my wife. I borrowed the picture from another Linux.

Edit: In case anyone's interested, here are the color settings to match Windows Basic Theme (Panel):


HUE    221
SAT    26
VALUE  82

RED    154
GREEN 171
BLUE    209

I'm considering installing csh or tcsh on my LL 4.0 system - not as my main shell, but to use on the rare occasions when I do shell scripting. I notice those additional shells are available in the Synaptic package manager. That said,

a) would installing csh (or tcsh) be likely to screw up anything that is pre-existing on my system?
b) would you recommend installing csh/tcsh? (a totally different question, I know).

I'd love to get some guidance from the LL community on either or both of these questions. Please answer as little or as much as you are willing to - any information is helpful here.

Optional background - only read if you want to know this: The reason I am even considering a csh-based system for scripting is that I used it years ago on Unix. It "made sense" to me in a way that bash (still) doesn't, but possibly that's just because csh / tcsh was the first shell I ever used. I guess I wanted to see if going back to one of those shells would make me feel more "at home" when I do any scripting.

Have just installed Linux Lite 4.0 and it installed perfectly. An amazing OS and fantastic work by all the developers yet again. Surely this OS is a must for all disgruntled Windows users. Ease of use and total reliability all in one OS. What more can anyone want for free?
