Really enjoying Linux Lite. I have been using it for about a year now and first installed it, because I was looking for an easy system that would work well for an elderly friend. I liked Linux Lite so much that I kept it and I have also installed it on 4 friends computers, and all of them have had a very good experience with it.
I have been a Linux user for more than 10 years, and my first really successful system was Debian. I moved to Linux not long after Windows XP arrived and I found it was too much of a resource hog on my Windows ME vintage computer that I bought in Jan 2001. Thanks to various Linux systems that computer was in regular use until only a couple of months ago, but I have finally pensioned it off because the Power button is now so worn that it is difficult to start! My current computer is about 6 years old and I was using Archlinux as my primary system until falling in love with Linux Lite!
I find Virtual Box an invaluable tool. When helping friends with sick Windows computers I would run Windows XP (my legit paid for copy!) in Virtual Box to help me think of solutions. I run the 64 bit version of Linux Lite, but I also run a 32 bit install of Archlinux in Virtual Box so that I can use a "problem" glaze software programme that needs some 32 bit libraries that Ubuntu don't have any more.
I also use Wine for Il2 Sturmovik 1946 (a wonderful flight sim), and have wine happily running a 32 bit environment for this game. Very clever of wine to be able to do that on a 64 bit system I think!
I am really impressed with the usability of Linux Lite. I like it that Libreoffice, Wine, and Gimp are kept up to date. Xfce is also really nicely presented by this distro. Some wrongly claim that this is simply a rebranded xubuntu, but Linux Lite works so much better for me, and I like the default selection of applications better too.
Sincere Thanks to all of you who make Linux Lite possible.

| XFCE Power Manager settings seem to be ignored |

Hey, yeah i'm having a problem with the XFCE Power Manager.
Under the settings Monitor: "Put display to sleep when computer is inactive for" and "Switch off display when computer is inactive for"
I have them both set to never but the laptop screen/display still goes off after 10 minutes, if the laptop hasn't been touch. If I set it to 1 minute, it works fine it switches off after 1 minute but if i set them both to never or 60 minutes then the laptop screen/display still switches off after 10 minutes.
It's very annoying when watching a video on youtube or a movie and then the screen/display goes off and i have to move the mouse to turn the display back on.
If anyone could help thanks.

Hello there!
I'm using a Microsoft Wireless 2000 Keyboard and noticed, that the Music Buttons on top doesn't seem to work with Tomahawk or Rythmbox.
Is it possible to activate this feature?

| [SOLVED] Cannot Boot After Update |

I'm using V.2.2, 32-bit on a Dell Optiplex GX520 with an Intel videocard. A few minutes ago I installed updates as instructed by the Muon updater. After that, Linux-Lite wouldn't boot completely: I get to the point where the screen blanks and I should get the pointer, followed by the desktop. All I get is a blank screen.
Is there a fix, or did I do something wrong? Linux-Lite is a fast, efficient system, and I'd like to continue using it.

| In Linux Lite 2.2 64 bit iBus has weird extra layouts that seem unnecessary |

Hello
The version of Linux Lite is 2.2 64 bit.
First some information on how I use iBus on my system.
I use an Estonian keyboard layout.
iBus seams to insist on leaving English permanently there although I don't use it as my layout of choice.
So it kind of has quadrupled the English part after I added the Estonian layout to it (and changed to Estonian as the default in iBus).
http://imgur.com/5HD4JXa
Any suggestions on how to remove those unnecessary English layouts?
Thank you in advance,

Hello Linux Lite Gurus
So I installed the latest Dropbox that there is when currently posting this issue.
The first time starting after the install all was fine and I saw the Dropbox icon on the Panel.
A few restarts later the Dropbox Icon was gone. But when I look at Task Manager the application is running like it should.
Any ideas why this is happening and is there a fix for this disappeared Dropbox Icon?
Thank you in advance,

| Window border issue with Lite Cleaner when compton enabled |

Hello Linux Lite devs
Discovered an "Lite Cleaner" issue when using compton compositor.
http://imgur.com/rw3R8gh
I'm using this compton configuration: ( any suggestion from compton gurus? )
Code: backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";
# These are important. The first one enables the opengl backend. The last one is the vsync method. Depending on the driver you might need to use a different method.
# The other options are smaller performance tweaks that work well in most cases.
# You can find the rest of the options here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/perf-guide, and here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/vsync-guide
# Shadow
shadow = true; # Enabled client-side shadows on windows.
no-dock-shadow = true; # Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
no-dnd-shadow = true; # Don't draw shadows on DND windows.
clear-shadow = true; # Zero the part of the shadow's mask behind the window (experimental).
shadow-radius = 7; # The blur radius for shadows. (default 12)
shadow-offset-x = -7; # The left offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-offset-y = -7; # The top offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-exclude = [
"! name~=''",
"n:e:Notification",
"n:e:Plank",
"n:e:Docky",
"g:e:Synapse",
"g:e:Kupfer",
"g:e:Conky",
"n:w:*Firefox*",
"n:w:*Chrome*",
"n:w:*Chromium*",
"class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'",
"class_g ?= 'Cairo-dock'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-notifyd'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-power-manager'"
];
# The shadow exclude options are helpful if you have shadows enabled. Due to the way compton draws its shadows, certain applications will have visual glitches
# (most applications are fine, only apps that do weird things with xshapes or argb are affected).
# This list includes all the affected apps I found in my testing. The "! name~=''" part excludes shadows on any "Unknown" windows, this prevents a visual glitch with the XFWM alt tab switcher.
# Fading
fading = true; # Fade windows during opacity changes.
fade-delta = 4; # The time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10).
fade-in-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028).
fade-out-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03).
#no-fading-openclose = true; # Fade windows in/out when opening/closing
detect-client-opacity = true; # This prevents opacity being ignored for some apps. For example without this enabled my xfce4-notifyd is 100% opacity no matter what.
# Window type settings
wintypes:
{
tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; };
};
Thank you in advance,
vaikus84
