What sort of end use does LL get? Is it purely browsing/emails/social etc or does it get used for "serious" stuff such a business etc. Is its main attraction for older hardware - extending  its useful life?  Are not modern hardware specifications - High RAM and processornumbers/speeds  total overkill i.e redundant? 

To me, the hardware gravy train becomes irrelevant with linux's efficient use of resources?? Especially with the LL flavour/ethos?

The ability for the system to close the lid is set to show a logon screen upon re-opening.  This happens, but the screen goes blank after logon.  No desktop appears.  This issue is on three separate systems, all running 2.6.  All updates have been run.

Sometimes requires turning off cptr, sometimes a flurry of key tapping may bring back a second logon screen. Desktop may appear but not always.  Again, settings are the default that come with the install.

Any advise greatly welcomed.

  I have just moved from LL 1.0.8 to LL 2.6 there are a few programes that I used with 1.0.8 / they are ie:-

1) Ubuntu Software Centre
2) Ubuntu Tweak
3) Lite Software Centre

I would very much like to install these programes / but it poses a few questions,

1) Is it safe to do so ?
2) If it's safe how do I get them ?

                                          Thanks.

Hello! I have GT 530 in my PC. I have problems with my driver. By default I used Nouveo driver. But then my PC started to freeze. Randomly. I could just hard reset it with a button on my case. Then I have read on the forum thet it my be the vide card. Now i'm using NVIDIA binary driver version 346.96 but it is laggy. A lot. what can i do??

Some early information. Historically speaking, there are always some pretty important bugs squashed after a major LTS release. Linux Lite 3.0 will be released as per the roadmap - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/relea...e-roadmap/ This 8 week period gives the new LTS time to settle in and stabilize, as well as allowing us to release our well-known stable first release. The first Linux Lite Beta 3.0 is likely to be released 4 - 6 weeks after the 16.04 LTS release.

Sorry if this small but annoying problem has already been covered in this forum or help manual. I cannot either find the fix or do not understand it if I did.  ???

Some how by accident I have changed my windows tiling setting. When I first boot up I normally start Thunderbird then start Firefox after reading mail. Thunderbird opens full screen down to panel which does not hide. This is what I want. When I start Firefox, it opens full screen but the title bar is below Thunderbird's and the window bottom is behind the panel instead of above it. I want Firefox full screen to the panel and completely covering Thunderbird's window. I use the icons in the panel to change programs.

How do I reset the window tiling the way I described?

any ideas?

Have LLV2.6 running on a Dell notebook, did this for Google Earth install
opened Terminal, entered:
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/curren...hLinux.bin && chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin && ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
System went out and did the install, all worked fine.

Tried on another system, same steps, now system says it can't create folders and the /etc/gnome/defaults.list.new: permission denied.

what am I missing?

Hi Jerry,


Now that Ubuntu has gone the systemd (vomit) route, what are the plans for future versions of Linux Lite?
