  Hi Everyone
Posted by: Ray H - 04-30-2016, 10:43 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (9)

I'm not completely new to Linux, I run a different distro on my main (newer) computer, but I've only been doing that for about 6 months so I'm still a noob.

Now I'm looking for a distro to salvage my old Pentium 4, XP machine and after trying the Live version of a few 'lite' distro's I've settled on Linux Lite. I've got an evening of fun ahead of me as I format Windows off my drive (that's always a good time lol) and install Linux Lite  Smile

  Lite Software & Install update - errors
Posted by: nicu.nvn - 04-29-2016, 08:28 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

L L 32bit and 64bit image contains / generates the following errors on installation or live:
1 - Lite software:
- Updating sources has failed.
Refer to /var/log/lite-software.log for more information.
2 - Install updates:
- Could not fetch the package lists cache information.
Generated by something that is not installed:
- Edit software sources - Other Software -
uncheck:
- http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/
and everything will be OK
Hard work, seeking solutions on many forums - solve the problem - but it is easier to generate a new image by unchecking or delete the link.
L L is a distribution enjoyable and well done - and it is a pity to be discouraged from first contact with L. L
I was almost ready to give up L L.
Thank you
sorry for my english – translate  google

Newbie question - I installed Plex media server on my machine.  I need to be able to locate the the folder (much like the program folder in windows) so that I can  edit some plug-in information.  I've been looking and cannot seem to locate it.  Thanks for any help.

  Cant change style
Posted by: LinuxNoob - 04-28-2016, 07:24 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I have not noticed this until I started making wallpapers for the upcoming LL3.0.

It seems that the style options for LL2.8 desktop background won't change [centered, tiled, stretched, scaled and zoomed]

I select an option and it has no effect. Anyone else run into this problem? Is it simple to fix?

Thanks

  Updates Error Google
Posted by: valtam - 04-28-2016, 04:15 AM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (3)

The error from running updates via the terminal would look like:

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
1397BC53640DB551

If you are getting an error from updates the fix is:

Code:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1397BC53640DB551

Thanks Google once again...you suck.

  Are Laptops with 2 drive bays limited to 17 inch models?
Posted by: m654321 - 04-26-2016, 08:01 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (14)

Are 17-inch laptops the only size that come equipped with two drive bays, or can two drive bays be found in smaller laptops?

I'm having difficulty finding any information on the net, for either new or old laptops, concerning the number of bays they contain for fitting
either SSD or HDD.

Thanks for any info - maybe I should start a separate thread to survey the number of drive bays for named makes/models of Linux Lite
members' laptops ...

  Firefox crashes
Posted by: tomt - 04-25-2016, 04:30 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (11)

New problem on Firefox. You tube crashes after about 30 mins or so. Shuts down the computer and I have tried all the suggested fixes on Firefox and nothing seems to solve he problem. Not a big deal as it does not happen on Google or Epiphany which leads me to conclude the problem is with Firefox. Anyone else with this problem? Refreshed, disabled add on`s etc. tried all that.

  remove login password at startup
Posted by: roywood - 04-25-2016, 03:03 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (3)

I set up LL to require a password at login. I would like to undo this requirement, and preferably, not even have to click a user to get to the desktop.  The reason is this that I only do remote login from a different computer to get on this one as it is running as a media server and is kept in a difficult to reach place.  If I ever reboot the computer remotely I lose access because it is stuck at log in. 

Thanks for the help.
