Hello.

I installed linux lite for my dad a couple of weeks ago and first all went nice and he could access the mybook live NAS without problems, but now when in go to /workgroup/NASdrive/, the next folder is "linuxliteshare" and not what really is the next folder. it also asks a password wich i dont have and i dont need when i access the drive with my manjaro installation. I am baffled, please help.

mybook.

I'm about to embarrass my self I'm sure.!!
I probably should really know this by now.

I want to install Teamviewer on my PC & Daughters laptop,
I have installed LL 32bit on my daughters, and I'm on LL 64 bit.
((I'm trying to get her off XP, and I could remote support her when she's away.))

On the Teamviewer download page there is 64Bit with, and without MultiArch
Which do I take for LL 64 bit, both have 64 bit variant.

Thanks... David

On a second laptop, I have LL 2.0 dual-booted with another distro (also ubuntu-based),
which I would like to remove, so that I only have LL 2.0 remaining on that computer
as my OS of choice.

I know that I need to do this properly, as merely deleting the distro's partition in Gparted
could mess up the grub screen spectacularly, and the computer generally.

I assume the procedure would be the same if I had any number of distros multi-booted
up to the maximum permissible number of 4 on any hard disk drive.

Grateful for any guidance on how to go about this. 

Regards
Mike

I want to change the splash screen. The one that pops up right before the wallpaper. I have the mouse and everything but i am wonderi9ng how to input one that i downloaded... anyone?  :'(

I'm Shrugoglogist on the old forum at the Linux Distro Community.  I distrohopped until I tried Linux Lite in November 1, 2013 and have been rocking it ever since.

You will need gawk, build-essential, libvlccore-dev , and libvlc-dev installed before you try this.
I will show a command line install since that is how I roll. gawk should already be installed in Linux-Lite but it does not hurt to check in synaptic before you start. There is no gui way to install this other plugin since it is not in ubuntu repos yet.

Hello,
I have done a forum search and didn't find anything about this.
XMBC are changing its name to Kodi.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered the same couple of issues that I have when restarting from Suspend mode,- viz

1. My mouse will not operate on right click unless I go into Settings->Mouse & Keyboard and pe-set to Default Settings.

2. Likewise after resuming from Suspend, I have to manually activate my  Wi-fi connection.

Hello,
I have been given a computer by my brother, it did have xp pro, if I can get it working it will be my better spec LL machine than my current one which is very old pc (15 years) and I am unable to do all the things I want on it due to its age.
This one is a Medion AMD 64, it has a pci-e graphics so that is newer than the P4 and pci legacy of the current machine.

I am unsure what he done to the OS, it arrived and would not boot.
Initially he said he wanted me to get some photos and spreadsheets off it and if I could then I could keep the computer.
What I have tried -
I used Kapersky recovery disc, this booted but then crashed.
Hiren would not boot at all, or Knoppix. The disc spins and this is all.
I then tried SATA to usb to find the files on another pc, it finds the hdd when attached to another pc, it says the contents are 0 bytes and produces a message saying the drive is not formatted and asks if I want to format it.

After this I returned it to him out of ideas to recover his files, he now says I can still keep the computer without having to recover the files. He has another computer, and the children use tablets.

I put the Linux Lite disc in and it booted to the desktop, then froze and I used the power switch to turn it off.
Now the screen remains black and the monitor light is red, so the monitor is not detecting the pc is attached to it.
I have also tried an alternative graphics card (out of this pc) in case this was faulty.
I have also removed and reseated the ram modules.

When switched on the power button lights up and stays on unless pressed/held to turn off, all fans spin up, pc not detected by monitor.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to try next, to get it to the stage I am able to get the monitor to realize it is attached and am able to begin instal of LL ?

I am a semi-retired computer consultant (mainly fixing local computer and Internet problems) and both a heavy user and promoter of FOSS. Linux (mainly Ubuntu flavours) has been my main system for years. I use it for office functions and desk top publishing (for our village magazine) as well as for client computer trouble shooting. I am not very keen on the Ubuntu Unity interface and tend to either install LXDE on top or go straight to Lubuntu. I like Lubuntu but always ditch Abiword due to problems with some documents and install LibreOffice (not perfect but neither is the M$ equivalent!). Linux Lite seems to fit the bill in terms of interface and default programs so I am trying out on my wife (as a replacement for XP) first!

I do use Raspberry Pi hardware for serving websites and for our domestic NAS, both based on Raspian. LL for Raspberry Pi, anyone?
