Just thought I would say hello to all forum users  ;D Just jumped over yesterday to Linux Lite from another xfce os. Loving the distro and look forward to participating.

Booted up my computer today to find this message, and a tty:

Hi, I am a long-time Windows user and have been really impressed with Linux Lite. I have tried a couple of live DVD's of other distros for short periods of time, and can only blame myself for not making more effort to understand Linux. The problem I had in the past was getting basic programs to work after updating. A week later after a "rolling release" update some key programs no longer worked (Browser for example). Other distros had problems finding my sound or wifi (which I understand because of so many different pieces of hardware) and after a couple of days of trying to compile with a command line a working driver (I think thats correct, its been a while), and the distro giving me really small partitions for some reason and telling me it wasn't happy about that, I gave up.

Linux Lite led me by the hand, and installed perfectly. I love the lite software installer, because last time it was a Synaptic Package Manager I think which was a bit much for a newbie, and found it quite confusing when all I wanted was a browser, Skype, Audacity, a photo viewer and VLC. Even my friends I showed this distro to said " Hey! even I can understand this" and are now trying Linux Lite. This really bridges the gap for Windows users who want to try Linux, but don't have enough time for the learning curve needed to get started.

Congratulations on such a great distro, in my opinion if any version of Linux is going to move users away from Windows, it will be this one.

Hi everyone, I am new to Linux, although I have tried a couple of live DVD's of other distros for very short periods of time. This one has been really great :-)

Just loaded Linux Lite 3.0 64 bit. Can't find Screensavers in the menu. Even if I type screensavers in the Application Finder, nothing comes up.

I installed Linux Lite 3.0 successfully on my DELL Inspiron 5559 alongside Windows 10 and it is working great. I noticed the entry in the grub menu looked strange, it had the word *Description: in the menu, it looked like...

I have a Acer netbook (Intel Atom/1 gb.) that I have installed Linux Lite 3.0 x32 on & in autostart have turned off bluetooth/Print Queue/Systemback scheduler, as I do not need them. Is there anyone who is using LL 3.0 on a netbook, or who can make suggestions, on how to speed it up. No complaints about Linux Lite. Netbooks are cheap, low end items. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would not say it runs terrible, I am just looking for any ideas to 'make it a bit better'. Thanks once again to everyone.

I have an MSI L1350D Notebook that has a 10" screen of 1024x600 resolution & it also has an external monitor port from which I run a Phillips 17" 1280x1024 monitor.
The Phillips 17" is used as the main monitor with the notebook's monitor disabled.
Just had a thunderstorm roll through & was half way into installing an OS in Virtualbox & the power went out.
As the main monitor was on external power it also went out, the notebook runs via it's own battery when mains power goes out so it was still powered on ok but had no display working so I couldn't do anything with it.

Is there a way to access/start a disabled monitor if the main monitor loses power?
Function keys don't seem to work unfortunately, which would be great if they did as they're supposed to toggle between running either external monitor or built in monitor or both, but regardless if they're both set to being used or not in Display settings nothing happens when the Fn switch combination is pressed.

I can run them both at once but it causes issues with screen tearing, video playback etc. & I was wondering if anyone knows a way to start a disabled monitor if the main monitor goes down for some reason.
Once a monitor has been disabled the only way to enable it again that I know of is using another monitor to view things & change the settings again, ok if there's power to both but useless if one is disabled & the other has no power.
Booting into a live distro both monitors will work provided they have power & the original notebook monitor works regardless as it's on battery, but to get there from the above scenario it leaves the problem of improper shutdown & any unsaved work before the power down will most likely be lost.

The Java Web Applet Plugin was previously available through LL2.8's Lite Software app.
I notice it's absent from LL3.0's Lite software: is there a reason for this, e.g. does it pose a
security risk, like Adobe Flashplayer, or is it already integrated into the LL3.0 package?
