I cannot find an option in the menus for    Password & Keys

I was trying to help Pelouk with his  Topic ---  Keyboard garbled

Quote:I get a window "Unlock Keyring" asking for my password for the Default keyring. I thought, "No problem now that I've got the keyboard issue sorted" but it won't accept my password???!
I now have the same "Unlock Keyring" request when I open Chrome Browser so I also wanted to find a fix . I looked in my crib list and found I had this in Lite 1-0-8 and made a note of how to fix it i

  Linux Lite Login Sound Change
Posted by: valtam - 07-19-2014, 01:49 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

It's come to my attention that the login sound for Linux Lite did come from an existing source, despite my efforts to try and find the original source initially. As a result Linux Lite must replace this sound with an original source.

Thanks to Graham https://plus.google.com/103551780635250917831/posts for producing this for Linux Lite Smile Graham produces original music so check some of it out.

The new Login Sound will be available in your updates soon.

  Keyboard garbled
Posted by: pelouk - 07-18-2014, 04:39 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Just a newbie as of today and trying to get started but I've hit a real stumbling block with my keyboard input.

I'm using a Medion laptop which has a feature which has never been a problem in the past but is now. It has the usual qwerty layout but several of the keys (e.g. the J K and L) have numeral superscripts. Since installation, I find that unless I hold the Fn key down while typing such characters, I get nonsense - for example, "keyboard" comes out as "2eyb6rd".

I've checked that my keyboard is registered under system as "English UK" but can't figure out how to correct this. I can't even use my password and am sending this from another machine.

Can anyone help, please?

  [SOLVED] Champions of Regnum
Posted by: Norm - 07-18-2014, 04:37 PM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (1)

After finally installing Linux Lite to my ancient Dell Optiplex 740 today, I went ahead and installed Steam. After that, via steam, I tried to install the game that I play on windoze. Champions of Regnum. I didn̈́'t hold out much hope that it would work as a previous Ubuntu install failed to run it. LL runs it fine!
So anyone looking for a full feature game that is totally free to play should certainly give it a try.

  Screen resolution stuck on 640x480
Posted by: Marktech - 07-18-2014, 10:12 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (2)

Hi, all -

I've just started using Linux Lite, and this is my first post here: I have a little problem!  Wink

My neighbours gave me an old E-System Sorrento laptop which they frankly said wasn't much cop even when it was new, but it turns out to be perfectly adequate for occasional use -- once it has a lightweight Linux distro on it.  It has an Intel Celeron C900 single-core processor, and integrated graphics: I tried a live session of Linux Lite, and installed.

The live session defaulted to a resolution of 1024-768 at 61Hz, which was perfect; but the install uses 640x480, and I can't change it.

Running xrandr gives me 640x480 as the only option.

I attach a copy of system-info output.

I'd be very grateful for any help: I'd really like to use this distro on this system, and as it stands it's not really usable!

  Unable to find or create trash directory
Posted by: T1125P - 07-17-2014, 11:56 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

I keep getting this error now in v1.0.6 I'm trying to delete files off my USB stick, it's formatted with the exFAT file system. If I hold down SHIFT+DEL the error comes up but the file is gone. Is there a way to fix this?
Another thing, how to disable automount, I don't want to have my USB stick or eternal harddrive opening the contents as soon as it's plugged in.

Thanks.

  Linux Lite
Posted by: T1125P - 07-17-2014, 09:20 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

Hey, all.  Just want to give an update to my Linux experience so far. After trying Linux Lite 1.0.6, 1.0.8, 2.0, then Peppermint OS 5, Linux Mint 17 XFCE, & Puppy Linux, I have found my perfect OS for my Netbook. Linux Lite 1.0.6 - This version by far is the best for my Netbook. Everything about it is faster and the menu opens so fast and fluid. 2.0 was very good, but did not suit my Netbook. Love the OS, but 1.0.6 is best for me. It even boots 1-2 secs faster than my Win 7 PC with a 500GB ssd Big Grin. Thanks to all for making a fantastic version of Linux. I just wish in the future all game developers would make their PC games for Linux and Windows at the same time. I'm a gamer so I use my Win 7 PC. If they would just make all the Win 7 games available for Linux without Wine I would change to Linux for my main PC in an instant.

  Why Ubuntu base?

Sure there is a good reason but just wondering why Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu rather than directly on Debian?

  Flash Video Problem
Posted by: Colin23erk - 07-17-2014, 12:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (16)

Just as I thought I had got my Lite 2 sorted I found a new hiccup !

I use Google Chrome Browser and it plays You Tube Flash Videos normally .

If I try to watch BBC News videos -- Sound is normal but the video  only shows occasional good still frames .
The BBC Flash Video Player looks  a bit  different to the You Tube one
