Using the following in fstab which maps to folder in Home allows access to NAS share, but owner is now root, and therefore Read Only for me:

Since installing Linux lite the numeric pad has acted only as a mouse pointer. I have a HP keyboard on my Dell 4550, but the HP keyboard model number: KB-0630 is not listed the Settings/Keyboard/Keyboard model. It makes no difference if the Number Lock is on or off the number pad will not type a number, it will only use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Please help me to find the settings to change my numeric pad into a true numeric pad.

Is it possible to set Preferred application - Email Reader to Web based Email client -- Gmail or Yahoo etc

Hello All,

Just curious if it's possible to remove the shading of the name text of everything on the desktop unless it's selected?
And if it's possible to not use the grid for icon alignment but put them where I want?

Using LL 2.0 with PCManFM 1.2.0 instead of Thunar.

I do apologise if this has been covered on the forum, I can't find it if it has.

Thanks 

I'm using LL2 day2day now and I'm very happy with it.  8)
But tiny question: why do after boot some icons on the desktop jump to left upper?
Or: can I do something to prevend it?

I see tutorials around showing how to setup Minecraft on LL1, would like to do so on LL2, the LL1 tutorials do not seem to relate to LL2, nor can I find the software mentioned on Ubuntu forums that is being used on Ubuntu in the Synaptics list, can anyone post a tutorial please?

Much depreciated.

John

Wish to test LL2.0 + new  trial Kernel on PCs already running other versions of linux.  Once tested wish, to remove the LL2.0 & trial Kernel and return pcs to single boot,  restoring original partition sizes and  running original version of linux.  Questions :-
Can this be done?
If so how ? using Gparted??
Thank you

Could someone tell me how i might enable "backports" via synaptic please.

I'm swiss-german and tried a lot of small iso distros on usb.
LinuxLite is the best so far.
LiLi to usb ok > wlan ok > keybord ok > infos ok > updates ok > install wine ok!
I hopefully find now how to adapt persistence (persist file and cheatcode).
When this works, I'm going to test the windows portable tools I work with.

(persistence works fine in razor - there i have trouble installing wine).

This is additional information on using VirtualBox once it is installed.  For the basics on installing, creating VMs (virtual machines), and enabling USB support for VBox -- see Help Manual -> Software page -> Software Tutorials page link.



Creating a Dedicated VM for Live ISO/CD/DVD Booting

Sometimes you may not want to install to a virtual hard drive.  You may just want to test something, take a look at an OS before deciding to install it, or you may just not want to use all of your disk space for virtual drives of various OSs.  Whatever the reason, it is handy to setup a VM specifically for just booting live OSs.  The example below describes how to do that and is setting it up to boot 64-bit versions of Linux.  (Adjust settings as appropriate for the OSs you might be booting.)

From main VBox window, click New to make a new VM.

Fill-in Name, Type and Version.

• Name = Live64DVDs  (you can name it anything you like)
  
• Type = Linux
  
• Version = Other Linux (64-bit)
  
• NOTE:  these settings can be changed later if necessary.  After VM is created, just highlight it and click the Settings button.
  
• Click Next to continue.
  

• Between 512MB - 2GB should work for most situations.
  
• DO NOT allot more than half of your memory to the VM.
  
• You can adjust the dedicated memory any time later if you need to change it.
  
• Click Next to continue.
  

• Highlight your new VM for live disks.
  
• Notice that under Storage it is showing the CD/DVD drive for booting and that it is Empty.  That is telling you that nothing is currently selected to boot the VM from.  So if you were to click Start at this point, nothing would boot.
  
• If you want to boot a CD or DVD, just load it into the tray and it will boot when you start the VM.
  
• If you want to boot an ISO file you have downloaded to your hard drive, you need to go into the settings for your live VM and tell it where that ISO file is and to use it for booting.
  • Highlight the VM and click Settings button
    
  • In Settings window, click "Storage" along left side
    
  • Under "Storage Tree", click the word "Empty" under "Controller: IDE" (there will be a CD icon next to "Empty").
    
  • Under "Attributes" (right side), click to check box for "Live CD/DVD"
    
  • Now click the CD icon just above that to the right.
    
  • Select "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file"
    
  • 
    
    
  • That will open a window for navigating to the ISO in your file system.  Find the one you want, select it and click "Open".
    
  • It will now show up in the Storage Tree under "Controller: IDE"
    
  • Click "OK"
    
  • Back on the main VBox window and you will see that the ISO file is showing in the "Storage" settings for your VM.
    
  • 
    
  
  
• If you would like to adjust the Display settings to enable 3D or 2D acceleration and/or give the machine more video memory, go ahead and do that.
  
• When done adjusting settings, click the greenStart arrow and it will boot just like you computer would if you were using a live CD/DVD.
