Hi I'm Mark. I've been using linux lite for more than a year now and I love it. I convince my friend to use linux lite. In the installer we can't boot into normal so we tried safe mode. It works. After installing he has now dual boot linuxlite and windows crap. The problem is that when we boot into linuxlite the only thing we see is blank screen.Thanks.

Hello,
I notice in Linux Format about the new National Curriculum that has begun this year, this week in fact, for 5-16yo in the UK.
During their schooling this new generation will now be using Linux, Scratch, Python, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and more.

So my thought is for some of the software they may use most often in the new curriculum to be considered for adding to a future release of the add software.

There may be a wave of people looking to revive that xp computer with LL and have a machine they can use to continue work on projects at home.

I'm trying to play GZDoom on Linux Lite but I'm getting an error saying my OpenGL is not supported, and I'm getting a "Segmentation Fault", here's the terminal output:

I am having great difficulty in configuring the keyboard for my Samsung notebook (model NP-145 or a.k.a. N145 Plus). Several of the keys do not produce the character indicated on them.

The LL 2.0 Keyboard application only lists 3 Samsung models to choose from, and the N145 Plus is not one of them. 

I'd be grateful for any assistance with this. If this Samsung model can't be configured with LL2.0, do you know of any other Linux distros (preferably Ubuntu based) that might work - maybe some of you already have experience with this?

Regards
Mike

any input is hugely appreciated!!

Our next addition to the Lite application family will be Lite Tweaks.

Install:

• Clean out package cache
  
• Perform autoremove of packages no longer needed
  

In my former life (windows7) i used Adobe Digital Editions.  As this is not compatible with Linux Lite 2, what do I do now? June

Firefox (or rather Mozilla-Firefox) is my default browser. However, when I click the '+' (new tab) on my Firefox browser, the Google toolbar appears, and lists any searches I make in my default Firefox! 

I'd rather not have Google at all, in any shape or form in Firefox.  Is it possible to remove it or is it inextricably embedded in Firefox.  Therefore, can I remove Google from my Firefox browser?  Is it possible using command line?   

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.
Kind regards
Mike

I would like to in the future become a Linux developer someday. I like playing video games and ready for a challege in programming.
