Hi everyone,

I went through the Forums today and did a bit of a tidy up. All bluetooth threads now belong under Network.
There were a lot of posts in On Topic that were better suited to Installing Software and Installing Linux Lite, could I ask people to please take their time in choosing an accurate category for their threads. Thank you.

If you have any suggestions on how the Forums can better serve you, then please feel free to make them here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?board=3.0

Hello all,

Currently I'm doing my first attempts at linux on an old Shuttle pc with an AMD XP 3000+ processor and 1 GB RAM. I still use this machine for web surfing, text editing and some spreadsheet work. I've installed Xubuntu 12.04 LTS alongside Win XP and ran into issues with flash player (won't play) and a minor problem with sound (microphone input not audible on line-out). I gather that these problems are caused by the Shuttle's old (unsupported?) hardware. The upside is that Xubuntu's apps run nicely on this pc and it "feels" responsive.

OK, here I am already with some questions: I understand that LL is based on Ubuntu 14.04. With LL, can I expect more problems regarding old hardware support than I have in Xubuntu 12.04 LTS? And will the Shuttle still feel as responsive with LL?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi all, I keep getting this message "error setting permissions function not implemented" every time I copy files from my harddrive to my USB stick. It is formated using the exFAT filesystem. It works fine in Linux the file copies but that message always pops up I click yes to all then resumes the copy. Is there a way to fix that? If I remember, in Lite v1.0.6 exFAT worked without that error message. Oh one more thing is there a way to add another entry in the right click context menu when you click on a file? I want to add the move to folder command it has the copy command but also would love the move to command something like windows 7 has .

Thanks.

When I take a screenshot with Xfce4-screenshooter half of the time the image is blurred. It seems to depend on the type of window which is active.

Full window - blurred image:

Sub-window - no blurring:

When you save the screenshot file on the hard drive and open it with Ristretto you can see that the image was not saved with the zoom at 100% but at 70%, 80%, etc. Is there a way to force Xfce4-screenshooter to always save images at 100% zoom?

Tried to install from USB stick to my old Dell Optiplex 740 which is currently running Windows 7. I get the initial LL feather and automatic boot in #seconds then it faults to 'Not enough memory to load specified image' which then gets stuck in a loop of the same thing until I Ctrl alt del.

I have used the pen drive succesfully on another computer.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Hi everyone, from a retired IT manager on Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada..
I last touched UNIX about 15 years ago, running a large manufacturing system.. I am now in my "golden years" (the big 70th birthday a few months ago), and I received a laptop with Windows 8.(If Microsoft made a vacuum cleaner it would also suck !!!..Not my quote ) I now have a extremely responsive laptop, running Linux Lite 2.0.. I first went to Linux Mint (Cinnamon), polished, but "heavy", even on the SSD. Next, to the other extreme, Bodhi Linux..Amazingly fast, but a "tad" too minimalist, and lacking in some areas..Then to Manjaro, again very fast, but just not a comfortable experience. The Linux Lite development team, has my sincerest congratulations on such a polished release, that, as a user, gives me a comfortable and secure feeling. It boots up so quickly on my SSD, that the screen is fully loaded, before the WIFI has a chance to connect. It is so refreshing to be away from "Window" clutter, and to have such a clean desktop... Right clicking on the desktop, to bring up a menu has an certain intuitive feel to it. It could be argued that with the specs on my laptop, that I don't need a "lightweight" installation. My argument for Linux Liite, would be to point out that the applications included with the install, are anything but 'lightweight', and I can add whatever "eye candy" I would like to the desktop, (if I wanted to..which I don't). There is a world of difference between a "Minimalist" installation, and Linux Lite. The former is very fast, because it has very little installed, the latter is also very fast (responsive would be more appropriate.."fast is too subjective) because it was designed to be, and not because it has been just stripped to the bare bones, necessary to boot up. I want a clean uncluttered desktop, in conjunction with a set of quality applications, and a very responsive system. That is what I now have !
Oh, BTW, the touch screen on the laptop works perfectly (not that I have really found much use for it). My German Shepherds' nose also works really well on the screen.!!!
Once again, Kudos to the Development Team, and I look forward to future developments,
Kind of a long introduction,
Regards and have a great week,

As an older person I sometimes struggle with new technology having been educated with slide rule etc. With this in mind I hope to elicit some help with a slight (I hope) problem with the auto update software function post installation. When it asks for my password, I type but nothing happens, the cursor blinks but no characters appear on the screen. If I try to type my password and hit return it says error. I did read a thread about this but being Terminalphobic I didnt get it! Anyways thanks and hi all.

how can i change options so i can see what folder i am in like /root without having to go to "choose folder", i prefer when it shows where i'm browsing and i been messing with settings and must have turned this off somewhere and not cannot find? sorry for another newb question just annoying the heck outa me. i also cannot open certain folders by left clicking an "open as admin" like programs, is their a way i can give permission to get into all folders i get crashes when using software that tries to access them and believe it may be a issue with some vm i try running...

thx
