I installed linux lite and I like it a lot, but as I am of Brazil would like to be able to install all in Portuguese. I tried to use the languages picker but did not succeed. If anyone knows how could I make this setting.

Hello!

Greetings from Finland! Long time Linux user - first time Linux Lite user Love the looks, speed and simplicity of this distro!
Keep up the good work!

I'm not saying this a LL problem but I was wondering if others have been experiencing overheating hard drives.
I have 3 hard drives on 3 machines all overheating and causing data loss all within days of each other, 2 desktops 1 laptop. (possibly one more hard drive)
I check my system RAM, smartdrive fairly often
gsmartcontrol
is reporting recently my hard drives are reaching high values 79c, 97c 100c !
and yes my desktop SATA drive was hot enough to burn fingers

I wonder if there is a  bug in kernel  3.13
and has anyone else has seen anything.

I've been monitoring
sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
but am hoping to log temps, and have alerts in case of over heating.

I have a question in at

Hey there! 

I'm trying to install Dailymotion Mass Uploader ( http://www.dailymotion.com/pk/extras/mass_uploader ) onto linux lite, but I'm afraid I'm going to need step by step instructions on how to do it. 

Clicking on DOWNLOAD downloads some .air file, and when it's done it's nice and neat on my computer, but I have no idea how to install or what to do with it further.  I don't think that's the mass uploader install file yet. 

Help is sorely sought after.

$ lspci -v -s 01:00.0

Some websites say X2300 has only max 128MB, but some says 256MB... Windows told me I have 256MB too.

Maybe Windows detected wrong memory size?

I have just set up a LL2.4 dual boot on a new laptop, pre-installed with win8.1, with UEFI (fast boot, secure boot) enabled.  Everything has worked very well until I got to the stage of binding LL2.4's  /mnt/DATA partition on sdb to My Home Directory on sda.  The laptop has two separate physical drives: SSD1 (sda) for the operating systems, SSD2 (sdb) for the /mnt/DATA.  I have done this set-up before, but only with an MBR file structure, not a GPT one as in the present set up.  I don't know if the use of GPT in the present set-up affects binding, or if the information I should enter in either the fstab file or the bind-home.conf  file is different for GPT compared to MBR set-ups. I'd be grateful if you could advise.

At the moment when I reboot the laptop & choose LL from the grub screen it doesn't fully boot but hangs indefinitely at the screen with the image of the feather with the progress bar below it.  I let the progress bar run completely to the right, but still no rebooting. Any help on this one is much appreciated  as I'm out of my depth here.

Regards
Mike

I would like to install the proprietary drivers for Tp-Link TL-WN723N on Linux Lite to fix the problem, but I dont know how to do it or maybe if there is way to make it work properly. I hope you can help me, thanks

Lite 2.0 - 2.4 upgrade not finishing after using:

First, kudos for discussing home directory encryption in your manual.

Unlike encrypting during install (which unfortunately doesn't work) encrypting with ecryptfs-migrate-home asks at some point for a "passphrase". It would be nice to know what the length/characters requirements are for this phrase. In the example, the user confirms the phrase with ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase. A 32-character hexadecimal number displays. Is this the only acceptable format?

I'm a bit confused that the instructions say to run ecryptfs-add-passphrase and enter the login password, but the screen shot shows ecryptfs-add-passphrase requesting the passphrase. Which is it?

I tried reading /usr/share/doc/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-faq.html, but became even more confused. Partway through, it stops talking about "passphrase" and out-of-the-blue talks about "keys". Does passphrase=key or are they two different things?

I've used home directory encryption in Xubuntu before, but the encryption took place during install. I don't recall being asked for a passphrase. Encryption is rather exacting and any mistake could result in completely unrecoverable data. That's why instructions for it really need to be crystal clear.

Having said all this, I must repeat that Linux Lite is the best distro I've encountered for general use on modest machines.
