i am running LL 2.6 [32 bit]on an old netbook that cannot run a 64 bit os.
should i just abandon google chrome?

can i use Mozilla firefox with google as my home page and mozilla will still run flash?

I have a hard drive with Only Linux Distros on it no windows on any of my machines. I have a couple of Linux distros installed and working fine. I partitioned and installed LL 2.8 beta. all goes well until it is finished installing and time to boot. I then get a error message that says Error: File name expected. I can boot log into my other distros but LL will not boot. Seems several are having the same problem. What is going on and how can I fix it. I refuse to install windows. I want to install LL on a slower computer because it is not so resource intensive. If I can't get this issue resolved I will have to find another distro. I would really like to get this fixed as I used LL on another machine which I no longer have.

*edit*
This did the trick: https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#setlang. But only for the Whisker menu. How can i also change the folder names in Thunar from English to Dutch?

1.  google chrome will stop supporting linux lite in march 2016.  what will this mean to us?
2.  how do i get chrome to recognize my microphone?
3.  i did an update and now i have an app called nepomuk cleaner.  what is it and how do i use it?
4.  is there a linux alternative to windows compatible freemake converter?
5.  does linux need ccleaner or a defrag program?

almost windows free and a linux convert! 
please advise.

Beside the usage of the same desktop environment, what is basically the main difference between Linux Lite and Xubuntu? In what way does Linux Lite differ from let's say Mint Xfce, Xubuntu and other Debian/Ubuntu derivatives using Xfce?

I got to thinking about what windows users are used to having available from the menu, and thought it would be nice if the menu had access to user folders like the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and others.  So I made the menu entries on my system to see if it would work. Below is a screenshot of my results.


For the item entries, in the command I entered "thunar" followed by a space, and the folder name of the folder for each item.
Example:  thunar Documents

Hi all,

I like to try Linux Lite on my daughter's rather old laptop (+/- 5 years old). But i came across some information about Linux Lite. As i'm well familiar with Ubuntu, i used Ubuntu from 7.04 till 10.04.3 and ditched it in favor of Mint due to the (IMO) horrible Unity desktop, i also know that Ubuntu, unlike Mint, doesn't come with full multimedia support.

So, to avoid any disappointments, m question is: does Linux Lite OS come with multimedia fully installed or not? Like to see someone here to can enlighten me about this.
Many thanks!

this is one issue that was hard to find a suitable answer for
my screen was stuck at maximum brightness (not so bad during the day, but at night was blinding)

i tried everything i could find on the interwebs,
and there was quite a few suggestions as this is a common issue, all to no avail

finally i found this solution:
open the terminal and input
xrandr | sed -n 's/ connected.*//p' | xargs -n1 -tri xrandr --output {} --brightness 0.6

where 0.6 at the end of the string = 60% of max brightness,
this can be changed to whatever you wish between 0-1 ie 0.8 = 80% of max, 0.4 = 40% of max, etc.

so i simply saved this line in libre office and input it in the evening once and am done,
next morning it boots to max for the day

i hope this helps someone out (it seems to be a catch-all and may ork for any set-up),
as it is a common struggle and can be frustrating

complete newbie to linux,
grew weary of windows' quirks

tried a few other distros,
but came to stay here

thanks for all the hard work you guys and gals have put into this project

it really is a gem for a beginner

I've decided I don't need a passworded login for my laptop.  The LL "Enable Autologin" did not work (it gave me an error message), but I found on this forum a fix involving creating a lightdm.conf file.  So now I don't need a password on startup.

However, I still need a password when coming out of Suspend.  How can I return from Suspend without a password?  I searched the LL Forum, but could not find any info.  Is this an entry in some menu, or will another configuation file need to be created or edited?

Thanks,
Andy N1KSN
