  Linux Lite 3.0 Suggestion Thread
Posted by: valtam - 02-08-2016, 03:08 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (63)

It's that time again. It's your feedback that steers this distro in a progressive direction. Please remember to only include ideas that have both wide appeal and a sense of familiarity to Windows users eg. no Terminal stuff, ease of use, 'granny proof'.

If you have previously made a suggestion and it has not made it into other versions of Linux Lite, please do not make the suggestion again, I look at all the posts made and carefully weigh up their pros/cons. Your suggestions are appreciated, but like Linus once said...

Quote:I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them.

Really looking forward to all of your suggestions Smile

So far:

- New login screen (no more lightdm-webkit)
- Possible inclusion of Gnome Software (a software center).
- Looking at adding Ubuntu Extras by default (seems to have codecs people are use to on Windows ootb)
- Folders accessible from Menu - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sugge...-the-menu/

  LL will not shutdown
Posted by: Crazy Larry - 02-07-2016, 04:15 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - No Replies

LL will not shutdown after selecting  Shutdown.......It justs restarts.....I have to turn off the electric before it has a chance to reboot.  Even the 2.8 update does this on my computer.

  date/time is in spanish instead of english
Posted by: Crazy Larry - 02-06-2016, 05:37 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I selected English on the install but picked Mexico City for the time zone .... I guess it thought the calendar should be in Spanish but I don't read Spanish.  I can't find a place to change the language in the date/time properties.
Thanks for any info.  I installed using LL  2.6    Then updated to  2.8  but that didn't fix the problem.

  Anti Virus Poll
Posted by: valtam - 02-06-2016, 03:51 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (52)

Should Linux Lite 3.x series have an Anti Virus bundled?

I ask this because this OS aims to meet the expectations of Windows users. You're welcome to have your say.

Thank you for participating Smile

  Set LXTerminal to a fixed size
Posted by: nomko - 02-05-2016, 08:46 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello,

LXTerminal cannot be set to a specific size, in my case the terminal size i like is 120x40. I tried both solutuons from my own linus site but it looks like it is not working.

How can i set the terminal windows size to a fixed size and keep it like that everytime i open the terminal. For me the terminal windows size at this moment is much too small.

  How to run Linux Lite completely in a Ramdisk
Posted by: chke419 - 02-05-2016, 06:22 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

I searched the forums for even similar topics without success. And before anyone asks, yes I do know what running an OS in ramdisk does as I did it with XP and loved it for a great many of years. All's I can say is there is absolutely no cleaning needed after each boot up.  ;D Another plus is I can try out a pile of softwares, scripts ect. linux offers with ease and never have to uninstall anything or worry about distroying the OS.

So anyway on with the topic at hand, does anyone know how to accomplish this with linux?

I do know I installed firadisk, imaged xp into a compressed raw .img file for faster load time and booted it with grub4dos. Since I am new to linux then I am unsure what programs or processes are needed to do this with Linux Lite.

Any help here would be tremendously appreciated!
