Dear LL Team,

I have been successfully been installing LL2 in my USB & USB HDD and its working fine, except following issue;

1.When installed in USB HDD i configured one of the extended partition as FAT32 and gave the mount point as Windows the software installs and at reboot the grub runs and displays the standard LL boot options and then once booted to LL2 it goes blank further OS doesn't get loaded.

2.I reinstalled the same with all extended partitions as ext4 format it works fine.

I tried this n number of times the above 2 options the result was same, right now i working with the option 2, but i want to configure one of the partitions as FAT32.

Pl help me in this

I use LinuxLite on 2 systems and love it!

I am helping a French friend to move from Windows, and I would like to be able to point him to any and all support and documentation in French.

I know of "ubuntu-fr.org", and I know that Linux Mint is headed by a Frenchman and has pretty good support, but I wondered if there is any LinuxLite specific help available for French speakers?

All help gratefully accepted!

Mintstick is a GUI to write .img or .iso files to a USB Key. It can also format them.

Here is how to install it. You will have to use the command line (because the word Terminal is, apparently, scary for some people  )
1. Download the package file

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
LinuxLite...this one's a keeper! Kind regards to all and have a great day!

Basically, I'm looking for software that will allow me to put songs from my iPod (Touch, 4th Gen, if that makes a difference ) 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

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

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?

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  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


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

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