I have been using OS now for about a week and so far I am very pleased with it.
Up to 8 months ago I was a Windows 7 user but like many I was getting tired of constantly having to check for viruses and defrag my system and the inevitable system crashes.
Since then I have tried a good number of different Linux OS including Ubuntu, Zorin 9,Mint 17.2 and others I cannot remember.
This Linux Lite must be perhaps the best one so far and similar to Zorin 9 in the way it opperates.
I really liked Linux Mint 17.2 but fancied something a bit lighter on my system.
AS I have said I have only been using it for about a week but it seems like I might keep this one for a while.

Hello,
I'm a new user to Linux Lite 2.6.
My laptop specs as follows:
ASI Model: SP15R-UMA
Intel Core i5-2520M 2.5GHz.
8Gb of RAM
Intel HD 3000 Graphics
Touchpad: Sentelic
Hard drive: Sandisk SSD 250Gb.
My question is, The Sentelic Touchpad shows up as a generic mouse.
There is no tab to configure two finger scroll. Is there a fix for this?
Other than that, everything else works great. Runs real fast, so far I'm happy with the performance, it's faster than M$ Win 10.

Thanks,
Dave

Google Is Ending Chrome support for 32-bit Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 And Debian 7

I understand that since around 2007 most new computers were made in 64-bit architecture.  But I know, from personal experience, there are times when installing the 32-bit version of a Linux distro, on a machine with a 64-bit processor, performed better than the 64-bit version of the same Linux distro on the same machine.  March 2016 is just around the corner.  Wished Google would have waited until the end of the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS lifespan instead, or at least until the end of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I've been looking for a way to watch amazon movies on Linux for some time and now they have set their player HTML5 which should work as does YouTube. But Amazon tells me I don't have the right browser even though I have Firefox 42 which is in their list of supported browsers.

I was looking at how to fold a fitted sheet and I came across this--how to fold a t-shirt in 5 seconds.

Hi. I can`t configure "sshfs" & "nfs" on LinuxLite 2.6. I configure easy on Xubuntu 14.04.03 & BackBoxLinux 4.4. What is the problem? Help me with manual "step-by-step". Thanks.

Would anyone know how to install hal-lib for playing Hulu movies? So far only Mint has it installed and can be found in their
synoptic package. Would rather have just one O/S instead of two. If you open Hulu on Lite, say on Firefox, you will find the needed Hal but cannot install from there. Chromium or Google does not support Hulu and refers you to Firefox which as I indicated works on Mint and also on Epiphany because hal-lib is already installed. Thanks for any help.

Greets to all!
I'm using some donated Lenovo IdeaCenter boxes for a project on the battleship New Jersey museum-ship. LL 2.6 seems to run just fine on these little boxes, even grabs my wireless network with no sweat!

A radar simulation is being written in Processing 3, and I need to have a joystick to move a cursor on the display.  This is now working on the Win7 development sys, using a SUPER library: Game Control Plus (http://lagers.org.uk/gamecontrol/index.html).

The library 'likes' the Logitech 3D Extreme Pro joystick which is what I'm using.

So - would like some info on how to install or activate the joystick drivers in LL.  Any links or refs to previous posts/sites would be greatly appreciated.

As many of you are aware, I posted a tutorial at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor...y-enabled/ which fleshed-out in detail, set-by-step,  the youtube video originally posted by Nehal J Wani, which explained how to set up a LL/Win UEFI dual Boot, together with a few of my own additional observations/comments.

I am now getting to the stage, where I am having less-and-less need for a dual-boot with MS Windows, and any remaining needs can be satisfied with Win8.1  set up as a virtual machine in Oracle Virtualbox on the LL host.

Deleting MS Windows from a dual-boot set up with LL on my older laptop (i.e. UEFI/Secure Boot absent) seemed fairly straightforward - I had no problems - using Gparted, then updating Grub.

However, with my newer UEFI/Secure Boot laptop, it doesn't  appear to be quite so simple.  I've already had a go at changing my LL/Win dual-boot set-up (UEFI/Secure boot enabled) to a single-boot LL (UEFI/Secure boot enabled), but without success.  As with the older laptop, I attempted this through Gparted, deleting ONLY the partition with the Windows OS (left all other Windows partitions intact, including the EFI one).  However this didn't work and the laptop just didn't boot into anything. 

If anyone has had success with the above I'd love to hear from them. I've cloned a couple of copies of the dual-boot UEFI/Secure Boot setup, so can experiment a bit without losing anything of value should it all go pear-shaped!

Thanks everyone for reading this and do let me know if you've attempted the above...
Cheers
Mike

After booting up today, I noticed that on the Panel, that runs horizontally along the bottom of the laptop display, the usual icons for Network and Volume Control were missing.  These icons come by default when LL is installed, and are located on the right-hand end of the Panel bar.  The Network one is particularly useful as it allows me to switch network for the Wi-Fi connection  and also shows me the internet connection speed.  The Volume icon is also useful as it allows me coarse control for Clementine or other media players.

I don't know why they are missing - maybe I inadvertently clicked on something?
How do I reinstate them?

Many thanks, as ever,  for your kind help...

Regards
Mike
