Newby question.
If my screen saver or desktop goes into lock screen, I can not get out of it.
It asks for password, I use the same password as login or system update but get invalid/wrong password.
Is there somewhere that has a password I never set ?
How do I change/reset it?

TIA

This isn't really a support question, but more a general question why... Windows appear to only re-sizable via the window header, this is different than it was in LL 2.8 (I could grab a lower corner and stretch a window down, now I can't, I can only grab upper corners). Is there are reason for this change?

Question is in the subject. I'm trying to find a way to set a different wallpaper for my login screen vs my desktop.

UPDATE: I figured it out, Settings -> Setting Manager -> System -> LightDM GTK+ Greeter Settings

I think Shotwell was in 2.8 Lite Software. Anyway it worked in 2.8. It is not in 3.0 so I installed it with Synaptic. It could not view the pictures from my camera although Thunar loaded them as png. Neither could Gimp, Ristretto , etc.  ???

Does anyone know what would cause this? Any recommendation for a photo organizer for LL 3.0?

A couple of days ago, I received the DVD with LL 3.0 on it. Today Ubuntu announced the release of the first point upgrade of 16.04 (16.04.1). This is the point upgrade that allows a direct upgrade of Ubuntu 14.04 (which I have kept updated) to 16.04.

Which is actually preferable to do? Install or upgrade? FYI, nothing critical on the Ubuntu box.

Hi all

I will like to permanently and everywhere for the tab to be 4 spaces. Can somebody help me with this please.

I have a good set of new headphones plugged into the LL desktop, but despite research, I cannot get the microphone to record, I cannot be heard, in Skype.


I have digested this thread: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?...ost9307284
which was advised in a similar circumstance, but despite everything appearing to be detected, nothing comes out of the mic.


How can I fix this?

I'm preparing a German Wikipedia article about Linux Lite. Therefore I wonder, if the keyboard shortcuts in the GUI are common in a special GUI under Linux or if they are distinctive only for Linux Lite.

    Ctrl+Alt+T - opens a terminal.
    Ctrl+Alt+Del - opens the logout dialogue.
    Ctrl+Shift+Esc - opens the Task Manager.
    Windows key - opens the Menu.
    Windows key+H - opens your home folder.
    Windows key+L - locks the screen.
    Alt+F2 - opens the Application Finder dialogue box.
    Printscreen key - opens the screenshot program.

I am not a computer guru by any means but I usually don't dismiss items by error. I installed linux lite about a year ago and mostly use it with my home wifi network but sometimes I take it away from the house and want to log on to other wifi systems (such as a hotel) and when I attempted to do so last week I found  the wifi menu listing that used to be in the lower right corner along with the speaker volume icons to be missing.
I can do without the volume control but would like to find the wifi icon and put it back where it belongs. Does anyone have an answer for me? I am not literate enough to write code.
Thanks

I recently went back to 2.8 64 bit from 3.0 I didnt like the long startup. Seems 2,8 starts up faster or atleast to me if feels quicker. I blame the confusing systemd thing. To avoid this I went 2.8 but now my wifi is giving problems as it seems to be dropping and coming back on. It happens all the time drops for a second and then comes back on.
