Hi, I'm new to both Linux and Linux Lite and would like some help with an issue I'm having. The laptop I currently have Linux Lite on has two malfunctioning keys (b and n), so I'd like to either access Linux Lite's virtual keyboard or set up hotkeys for those letters (something like Fn+v=b, Fn+m=n). The latter solution seems way too complicated to me and even if I were able to do that, a virtual keyboard might also come in handy sometime, so I'd like to find it anyway.

However, I can't seem to find Linux Lite's virtual keyboard anywhere. So far I couldn't find it in the Help Manual; nor under the accessibility menu (which is where I'd find it in Windows); nor in the main menu when searching it both in my native language and English. So then, where can I find a virtual keyboard in Linux Lite, please? Also, in (the unlikely) case there isn't one, how can I install a virtual keyboard for Linux Lite (preferably one that blends well with XFCE)? I couldn't find any in Lite Software's menu.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I have Linux Lite 3.8, and it was working for months fine. Suddenly, it no longer accepts my password to return from screen saver or to install anything including updates.
I tried to change the password but then it asks for Admin password, which I don't have and I don't know how to set. I prefer not to reinstall this goddamn thing. Especially because this can happen again.
P.s., please, let's not start with cAPS lOCK on issues or dementia-related suggestions.  :005:

P.s. I have already followed the instructions of the Help Manual on how to reset the password. When I reach the point "At the prompt, type passwd 'my username' it says such user does not exist. ???
Thanx

Hello everyone. I’m not tech-savvy so please pardon me if my concern doesn’t make sense to you. My (work) email address was hacked because I opened an attachment from a very legitimate-looking email sent to me. When I opened it, I was using my other PC (Win10) and accessed my email via cloud. Is there any possibility that my other PC (running only Linux Lite 5.4) might have been infected with malware too because I opened Thunderbird hours after that just to check for new emails (the password wasn’t changed yet at the time)? I didn’t open any attachment. I always perform software updates before doing anything, and safe clean with Lite Tweaks before shutting down. Yesterday, I installed clamAV and clamTk, scanned files and directories, didn’t detect anything. My company suggested Malwarebytes for our devices but I searched, it’s only available for Linux Servers. My PCs are not linked (or not networked if I used the term correctly e.g. I cannot access a file in 1 PC from another). Any suggestions on what else should I do to rest assured that my Linux PC is protected? Thank you in advance!

This is not something that I don't like about Linux Lite. It's more of something I mind about most distros but was hoping maybe this could be an exception.

Because Linux Lite is distributed through a live installer, the storage device used to install it (USB or CD/DVD) will most likely be slower than average, which is why startup time matters. Chromium starts up 2-5 times faster than Firefox from my experience. That is really my only argument in favor of this change, but I see no argument against it (though I may be wrong), so I see no reason other than the fact that simply other distros preferring Firefox, or because it's more traditional, which shouldn't prevent that change from happening. I thought since this distro is one of the only ones that truly prioritises new users and is willing to go through changes and features that no other distro does just to achieve user friendliness, I was hoping that that openness would allow it to become one of the first distros to finally chose another browser than Firefox.

I write all of this with the assumption that speed is the only noticeable difference between the two browsers, and if there is an argument towards Firefox than I probably look very foolish right now  .

Hi! :wave

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!

I just bumped into this post https://itsfoss.com/basic-terminal-tips-ubuntu/ while checking my feed, and thought of sharing here, since it's a good reading for new and those not so new Linux users as well. An excerpt:

Quote:    Different terminal applications (properly called terminal emulators) look different, have slightly different functions and features (like different keyboard shortcuts, color combination, fonts etc).
