I installed 2.2 Beta a few days ago and now it's my favorite Linux distribution: easy to use, fast and versatile. So far I have experienced no glitches, though I can't get the weather screenlet to work for my address.
I gave up Windows a couple of years ago, feeling I had no control over the processes in my own computer. I especially  like LL's lack of the paranoia that makes free access to my network files difficult in many other versions of Linux.

I started using a dual boot of LL 1.06/W7 SE about a year ago on my netbook and love it so much, i rarely log into Windows....except for when I "have" to.
I have several programs that run on Windows, like Garmin Connect and Itunes, that supposedly have to be run on Windows/Apple.


Is there any way to run these on LL? If i can figure this out, I'm taking the plunge and going all the way with 2.0 ;-)


Thanks,
Steve

If you've seen some of Richard Stallman's talks, they generally go anywhere from 1 1/2hr to 2 1/2hrs.
This is a great, concise summary of free software, and one of my personal heros in the software world and the main reason why all LL custom software, is free software.

I press Alt+Tab in dota 2 and it doesn't switch so I have to use the guake terminal key to get out without closing. Is there a way to enable the alt+tab function in OpenGl games like dota 2.

Virus free, damn straight, it's linux baby!

You now need to read the rules, especially the new rule #15 to ensure your music is allowed.

If you get this error when runing "install-updates"

Let me start with i know next to nothing about linux systems.

computer, 2008? macbook with new 1TB hard drive and soon new logic board with 16GB ram.

I have installed wine, and I've installed or i think i have directx9c. click onlive to launch and get , Failed to create Direct3D. Please ensure that you are running Directx9.0c or later. (status code: a44a)

I know basically nothing about bash and the terminal. I have used it to install with, but only with a tutorial to follow.

I am having issues with my HP pavilion laptop that is running Linux Lite 2.0
When I close the laptop lid, the screen will hibernate.  I don't want this.

I have changed actions that the laptop is supposed to do then the lid is closd in the settings GUI to ignore but the screen still goes black when the lid is closed.

From what I have read, I am supposed to do the following

1) open a terminal window
2) type " sudo leafpad /ect/system/logind.conf
3) find the line #HandleLidSwitch=(whatever value is in there now)
4) removed the # and change it to HandleLidSwitch=ignore
5) save the file and restart the computer

Does this sound correct?

I am very new to Linux and the command tool

I use the sudo Leafpad enrty because Linux Lite comes with Leafpad as the text editor correct?  I woulkd use sudo gedit if gedit was installed on Linux lite 2.0 , but I don't think it is.

Any help would be appreciated
