I'm having problems with incorrect key allocations (more than enough to make it unusable) since I changed to UK keyboard layout. Usable on default US layout but hey, we invented the language!. There's no map for this PC in the settings. Can anybody help a whingeing Brit.?

Hi
I have 5 Parameters for Linux Evaluation as a Normal End User Download Size, Live Boot Performance, Installation & Customisation, Functional Performance and Others. Linux Live Scores in these areas are presented below as below benchmarked with two Linux Distros which I am using or recommending others - Fedora & Linux Mint


                                          Fedora Linux Mint Linux Lite
Desktop Environment                               XFCE Desktop
Download Size                            15 10 20
Live Boot                                    15 20 15
Installation & Customisation                 15 17 13
Functional Performance                 20 15 17
Others                                         15 20 15
Total                                                 80 82 80

Fedora Scores Average Marks in all aspects except Functional Performance which is unbeatable. Mint Scores low on the Download Size as it is above 1 GB and is a bit poor compared with Linux Lite on Performance.

Linux Lite is the most resource friendly and eye candy Distribution.

2 Issues with Linux Lite:
Additional Application Installation is not a bit easy. Though the promise is so, I am finding that the Additional Software Installation does not work seamlessly. Further the synaptic package manager is not as effective as I had observed in Mint or Ubuntu.This area is a bleeding issue for the distribution

Installation with 3rd party codecs and multimedia support takes hell a lot of time. This was not the case with Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

2 Best Points
Completely LTS and hence acts like a semi rolling release with two versions we can have 7 years of easy usage without any difficulty.

Easy and Simple to use, best for any one who is just starting into a Linux Distribution

Questions:
I really do not see an advantage for going to Linux Lite as Linux Mint does all these stuffs in a much simpler and established manner.
What drove you to make a distro when Linux Mint is the best Ubuntu Derivative

What was in your mind in having “Additional Software Installer”.
Instead you could have given “Software Customisation Center” - A More Graphical Presentation of the additional applications.
This would have eased the user.
Many Nos example 10, 11, 14, etc., are not working with the Additional Software Installer.
The concept is a bit failing and not working.

Why the synaptic package manager is not functioning in the same manner with Mint or Ubuntu

I use Grub4Dos to boot my linux distros and want to completely get rid of Grub2. Grub2 is a bloated piece of software that makes the process of each kernel update very long, especially when there are multiple Linux versions installed on the same machine. You just get stuck watching the screen showing the message "updating grub configuration file" when Grub2 slowly scans the hard drive.

1) Option #1 is to turn off os-prober:

Hi LL members,

I observed applications like (TeamViewer, VNC or many others (that usually have their notification icon appear on the right corner near the clock)
have their icon appearing in taskbar as normal tasks.

Do you have an idea on how to modifiy this please ?
Thank you.

If there is a piece of software that you would like to see in Linux Lite 2.2? Please suggest it here.
Before doing this, consider the following criteria:

- Is it widely considered essential? eg. a date and time app is a good example
- Is it something I like to use, or does it have wide appeal? eg. VLC has much wider appeal than Totem. Personal favorites are not good suggestions unless they have wide appeal and are simple to use whilst looking great.
- Just because we are going to DVD size doesn't mean we will include 30 new programs, we must remain 'lite'.

What is so far being added.
- A new simple mouse theme with changeable cursor size.
- Gnome Date and Time
- Lite Welcome
- Added media check to Live boot menu
- Added graphical md5sum check to right click menu
- Added libreoffice-gnome to open office files on a NAS
- Dropped Mumble
- Added inxi
- Added 'File Search' (catfish)
- Added new wallpapers from https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...15#msg5415 and https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...opic=989.0
- URL Menu entries now use exo-open instead of xdg-open
- Adjusted Screensaver and Power Settings to negate settings conflict

Thank you for participating

Never mind, my wonderful wife found a terminal command.

Hello all, did any one knows when Version 2.2 is coming. I am now working with 2.0 and it works fine but maybe is 2.2 more better.

Hi, I'm regularfella, aka Lance.

No more distro hopping for me. This is what I've been looking for. I've installed Linux Lite 2.0 on my Acer Aspire 1410. It has a Core 2 Solo and 3gb ram, 250gb hdd.

Everything worked out of the box. My favorite apps were a breeze to install and this distro runs great on this machine. The screen is broken so I've hooked it up to a 1600x900 monitor and even that was detected and ready to go out of the box. Now it serves as a desktop PC with my wireless mouse and keyboard combo.



I first installed the 32 bit version, but now I have the 64 bit version installed. For some reason the machine seems to run faster on x64.

Love the GUI, Love the simplicity. I'll be sticking with Linux Lite for a long time to come.
