When I go to Add Printer and Direct it to the driver I downloaded from Brother ( mfcj880dwcupswrapper-1.0.0-0.i386.deb ).
It says that it's not valid or something like that.
I have Extracted it.
If I try and use The List of Printers Available, my printer is not in the list.
If I can't install a printer my only option is to go back to windows and that would be a shame as this o/s looks good.

i have a new "used" HP 6475b powerbook with a fresh win 7 home install. i put LL3 on in dual boot [120 Gb LL 200 Gb Win7]. i did see some "message" flash at top left of screen but it was gone too quickly to read. Win7 boots. after it did a CHKDSK then it boot just fine. however, linux will start at the boot menu, and when it starts to load the screen goes blank. no cursor nada, zilch

  hope i can get some guidance,, thanks..

On my 10" Samsung netbook (see setup2 in sig below) I've found that LL3.2 runs less snappily in general than LL2.8 which I was using previously, e.g. boot-up time = 52 seconds, LL3.2; 36 seconds, LL2.8.

In an effort to speed things up I've been deleting software that I don't need or replacing it with lighter stuff (using Synaptic). For example, I've replaced LibreOffice with Gnumeric & Abiword and replaced Firefox with Slimjet, etc.  However, the icons for LibreOffice under 'Office' in Menu still persist - how do I get rid of these?

Thanks for your help

The Wifi icon, which is normally on the right of the panel, disappeared when I clicked on it this morning to look at connection information.
In an attempt to fix this I did the following: right clicked on panel panel add new items indicator plugin.
This did not fix the problem but instead resulted in two copies of the icons for volume control and bluetooth appearing (I clicked "add new items twice).

How can I fix this? I'm using LL3.2.

Calling all web devs (html, js, css)

I'm making it so that the Donators page isn't so long to scroll by having clickable tabs.



The current issue is that with each tab, the gap grows larger between the heading and the displayed donors names.



Does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you.

Hello folks,

Sooooo....I have not found a solution to this anywhere. I need to be able to completely turn off the icon grid snap on the desktop. I am building some public library computers and the icons need to be placed in specific locations against a custom wallpaper on the desktop.  The icons are arranged under header on the wallpaper. This allows new user at the library to easily find the icons they need to use. The grid snap is not allowing me to position the icons anywhere close to where they need to go. Is there a way to remove the grid snap completely.....as I have not found one yet.

Thanks in advance.....

Hey everybody I am new to linux lite 3.2, so far I really like it and I only found one issue with it. The new Conky that comes with 3.2 version looks messed up. It doesnt come up automatically. I have to run program and run conky, but it looks messed up and it dissapears after few seconds. I do have composting enabled as well.

Works perfectly. Kernel updated this morning to 4.4.0-47-generic #68 when I clicked on the 'install updates' to see if there were any. Thanks for adding this feature to LL. I usually read about a security issue here on the forum, go to synaptic, etc. etc. Saves a lot of work!

After having rsync'd and deleted the original /home folder, I did not find the new copy. If Puppy Linux live CDs automatically mount fstab, this could have been the problem.

I am on the Linux Lite live DVD at the moment of posting this. Will its default settings work for copying over?

Salutations to the community, and thank you for this free, lightweight treasure of an Ubuntu distro. I would have have more to say if the page did not refresh. Anyway, thank you again!
