  Greetings Everyone

Don't consider myself as being "geeky" by definition...just someone who likes to learn and adapt to eventually become adept in a process. Linux is providing this opportunity,and, one really must needs say thank you. 
In my excitement to "get going" with a new distro made a mistake with the update process that proved to be quite elusive in finding the correct answer.  Found the answer here after hours and hours of searching and rewording. Been down this road before, was confident the answer was simple and just needed some more time to find.  There is was, someone had a similar problem and the last post provided the key. All is well now Wink
LinuxLite...this one's a keeper! Kind regards to all and have a great day!

  Working iTunes alternative for Linux Lite 2.0?
Posted by: Jack Yelland - 08-13-2014, 05:06 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (6)

Basically, I'm looking for software that will allow me to put songs from my iPod (Touch, 4th Gen, if that makes a difference Smile ) onto my PC. And also be able to add / delete songs from there as well...
I've tried this "gtkpod" thing, but I can't get it to work. The "Assistant" I believe they call it, doesn't pop up Sad

If anyone has any advice, it'd be greatly appreciated Smile

  Sound problem
Posted by: pelouk - 08-13-2014, 12:10 PM - Forum: Sound - Replies (2)

Thoroughly enjoying my new-found experience with LL. Thanks to several very helpful members on here, I should add.

I've got just about everything going as I want it except one niggly thing. Although LL recognises my laptop's sound card and will play back anything I choose, I just can't seem to get the mic/headphone ports to operate. When I plug my jacks in (singly or together) I get no sound through them - only vis my laptop speakers.

Has anyone had this issue?

  [SOLVED] Just installed Linux Lite 1.0.8, and no sound?
Posted by: Jack Yelland - 08-12-2014, 09:53 PM - Forum: Sound - Replies (11)

Well, the subject says it all really... I've just switched from Windows 7 (on which I had sound working fine) to Linux Lite 1.0.8. However, when I try to watch a YouTube video for example, there'e no sound at all  Sad I've looked at the Help Manual, but I can't seem to find anything that helps me... But then again I'm not the best with computers, and probably misunderstood something... But yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated Smile


I've also looked through some of the other questions on here, and often people ask for this I believe... Probably the wrong thing, but I hope it helps somewhat Smile

  Netbios name in smb.conf
Posted by: paul59 - 08-12-2014, 02:32 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

Might be less confusing if the default netbios name was set to something other than 'lappy' at the top of smb.conf, for example :

Code:
#======================= Global Settings ====================================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Linux Lite Shares
netbios name = linux-lite
...

  [SOLVED] Suggestions on Password Managers
Posted by: paul59 - 08-12-2014, 09:14 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (9)

Just a possible alternative to the one that is currently available via the LL install script, UPM:

http://upm.sourceforge.net/

It's main advantage is that it also works on Android so it's easy to sync your passwords (via dropbox for example) between your desktop and android phone. Has been very stable/reliable over the 2 years I've used it.

  linux Lite 2.0 works on CD Live but wont boot from SSD
Posted by: johnny baby - 08-11-2014, 08:03 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

Hi All,

Complete newbie to LINUX.  Using an old XP HP 2510p (2 GB RAM).  Linux Lite works fine off the live cd so I assume hardware OK.  Installed a new SSD (Kingspec 64 GB) and loaded Linux.

Some outputs :

Code:
linux@linux:~$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 63.6 GB, 63612911616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7733 cylinders, total 124243968 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000951f6

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sr0: LABEL="Linux Lite 2.0 32-bit" TYPE="iso9660"
linux@linux:~$

Was really looking forward to using Linux but without Hard drive boot it is no use.  Could this be a BIOS issue ???  I have made the Hard drive 1st on bootup - get a GIMP error but cant do anything(wouldn't know what to do anyway)

All help gratefully accepted.

  Support link
Posted by: paul59 - 08-11-2014, 07:35 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

I think the Menu->Internet->Support link might need to be changed. As it stands it uses xdg-open which doesn't seem to use the default WebBrowser (at least for me - I set SeaMonkey as my default in 'preferred applications' but the support link opens with Firefox). Using exo-open does the trick though:

Code:
exo-open --launch WebBrowser http://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/

  Installing software
Posted by: Tom47 - 08-11-2014, 04:52 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (4)

I have an HP Mini100-3000 that I originally replaced the Windows 7 Starter with Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick.  I was less than satisfied with the Maverick and learned about Linux Lite this past weekend.  I installed it as the sole O.S. and am very pleased with the format.

My only issue is installing the software from the program list.  I really want Chrome and selected #2, typed password, and waited for package download.  I keep getting an error saying the download failed.  I tried other choices and the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions or can direct me to a previous post? :-\

BTW, I did not install any updates.  Could this be my problem?  I see other replies and will check this later today.
