Hi Support,
This may or may not be a problem. When I go to my "home" folder, everything I see is proper. Hidden files and folders are hidden as they should be.

But if utilize my home folder from other programs, it displays all files and folders hidden and all.

For example: I open an image in GIMP and want to save to home folder, when I go to that folder, it displays every normal file and folder as well as all hidden files and folders. Seems to be true of any program that accesses my home folder. It never used to be that way and I have my doubts ubuntu or xubuntu has made that base change.

I'm wondering if anybody else sees this too. It all works and isn't a big deal and I can live with it but it's confusing to see all hidden system files and folders. Thanks for any input.

I went to install updates on my Computer using the Gnome Update manager and it gave me this error



What is this error?

A recent 'apt install' I did for some software mentioned that there were upgradable packages. When I do a 'sudo apt --upgradable', I get notifications.  They were upgrades of the kernel (from 4.4.0-22 to 4.4.0-38). Yet they don't show up under the 'Install Updates'.

Yes, I know I can do a 'sudo apt dist-upgrade' from the command line, but why aren't these showing up in the graphical update?

I recently came across this unique  Linux OS while doing my usual nerdy web-surfing. LOL
It looks very interesting,  it would be nice if LinuxLite incorporated something like this as a spin/alt distro.
If nothing else, it is way cool. Very in depth to operate though. Intriguing if nothing else.
I have no affiliation or interest in this other than pure fun, geeking out ! LOL  8)

The configuration panel for audio just flashes on and off looking for pulse audio so therefore I cannot turn it off or disable it.  I was trying to try out different audio configurations and now it's stuck on this pulse config and a crazy on and off config panel screen.  Is there any way to disable in console and if so how do you do it.

Thanks

In the "for what it`s worth department", some who may be concerned about switching from secure boot to legacy may find this of interest. Leave it to Microsoft.

X11vnc Xenial based -build1 does not work properly in Linux Lite. The Debian -build 2 version works perfectly in Debian Jessie beyond 8.3. I personally like the simplicity of x11vnc and the nix fun inside and I would still like to see it produce functioning GUI tk files properly instead of falling back to the terminal in Linux Lite. I've tried a few scripts to make the Debian core independent to the LL OS but to no avail. Right now I'm considering a slack like module (I have a compiler/converter for Debian applications) but I would really like to see the thing function from the GUI properly in Linux Lite. Ubuntu has little interest (medium) because of their native vnc server. I've tried them all, and honestly x11vnc has the widest range, and most possibility. Anybody have any ideas? Chime in.

Hi

Hi,

I've just installed LL 3 and the first thing I noticed is that I don't see Lite Control Centre in the panel or any of the menus.  Do I have to install something in order to get it?
