If I click on any of the choices in "settings" or "control panel" they are minimized to the panel and cannot be maximized.  Switching to the other workspace does not change this.  I think when I went into the display section and did some changes, is when this might have happened.  Of course, now I cannot get to the display setting because it is minimized.[img]

Synaptic Packet Manager are there others I can use.

This is not as easy as the Software Manager on Linux Mint which I have now only on one machine since 19.3 they too out the 2.08 Gimp and VLC.

My SSD now has Lite Fedora Windows Manjaro on. The reason Manjaro is last as it has icons on the Grub screen.

In Manjaro they have options of three Software Managers.

Love Lite and Manjaro and use Lite most of the time. Would be better if I could change the manager.

I do an installation guide for Lite and how to set up the screen slides as well has how to install the software at ginamiller.co.uk

I add the Window 10 wallpaper in the slide and now tell everybody to get Windows 12 Lite

had this error come up every time that i try to update computer and would like to know  what can i do to solve my issue...started happening when i had update from 4.0 to 4.6.....now running 4.8 and still having issues updating the kernal and the grub.. :o :o :o :o

Hello,
I'm new here and didn't instal Linux Lite yet.
Working still with Win 7, although it's not supported anymore.
I wonder if anyone could tell me if the things i made with Fotoshop, MS word, paint etc. that i saved on Win 7, could be saved to Linux lite, and then work with them in linux applications?
Best regards,
Georg.
   

Hi, I've been distro "speed dating" for a year. (ha). About a year ago I installed 15 distros to compare memory use. I just did it again, with about 25 distros.

My impression has consistently been that there's something odd about Linux Lite's iso. The reason I say that: I've had virtually no trouble "burning" the other distros to USB flash (and booting them. I might have trouble with drivers loading, reaching a desktop. But, the flash drives are recognized and at least *start* to boot.). I've burned them using unetbootin, MX USB Maker, the dd command. They don't seem to care.

But, every time I try Linux Lite... it seems very particular. Either the USB flash drive isn't recognized by the BIOS as even available to boot from. Or, it is recognized -- but when I choose to boot it, it does nothing and hands-off to the hard disk (i.e., the USB flash drive will be accessed for 5-10 seconds, and then the hard drive boots as if that's what I choose.).

This has been on two different computers (an older Toshiba Satellite C55-B, and a new Acer Aspire 5 A515-43-R19L).

Yesterday I was able to boot Linux Lite 4.8 in a Virtual Box for the first time. (I love what I see. I definitely would like to "hop" to it sometime.). This morning I thought I would pursue the bootable "burning" problem further.

I see on your web page that it's only supposed to be burned with Etcher or the DD command. I tried both, but the resulting USB flash drive won't begin to boot (in the way I described above). When I try to open that device in gparted, I get an error: "Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sdb"

I'm raising this topic not so much as "how can I get this to work," but "why is it this way?" As I said, I have not had this experience with 20 other distros (maybe I've had it with Antix 19). And, I had this experience last April when I "speed dated" some distros. I'm having it again this time.

Linux is known to be frustrating migrating to it (from Windows). It seems like something's wrong with the Linux Lite iso in a way that would make that even a higher-friction experience.  So, I'm raising this topic to try to help in some way. It's hard to believe it's just me (or, is it just me? I've tried two computers, different USB devices, burning it different ways -- including the Linux Lite-supported ways).

I'm willing to try things, and provide more info to track down what's happening.

Have just installed LL on an older laptop via the DVD drive. No problem with the installation and the laptop is now at least as fast as my main machine, thanks for that.  Have checked the BIAS boot sequence and Sony DVD-RW DW-Q520A is shown, but it is not recognised by LL. I'm not conversant with LL and much internet searching has not provided any info on how to get the DVD drive mounted in LL. I would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction. Many thanks

Up through the years I have tried many Linux distros, but always come back to LL. This time I struggled a bit installing LL, since I was not able to change the UEFI to Legacy mode on my PC. After reading the LL website and forums, I installed the LL UEFI test version 4.2 (ticked for encrypted installation) and upgraded thereafter to LL 4.8. It all went like a breeze, and I had only one remark: It took very long time to shut down and boot the system. Booting took up to 1m47s from entering the passphrase to fully launched.

After checking LL forums, I found below:
Run the following commands as suggested by firenice03 over on linuxliteos.com/forum ( https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/insta...(on-boot)/ ):
    sudo apt purge virtualbox*
    sudo systemctl stop vboxadd.service
    sudo systemctl stop vboxadd-service.service
    sudo systemctl disable vboxadd.service
    sudo systemctl disable vboxadd-service.service

After following above advise, my PC now shut down in 7s and boot in 34s from entering the passphrase to fully launched!

Finally I would really appreciate if someone could help me with my below 3Q:
1. Will there be an UEFI version for the upcoming 5.0 version (or a test version similar to the present 4.2)? My concern is that I will not be able to upgrade from version 4.8.
2. Does anyone know how to change the UEFI to Legacy mode on my PC (ASUS VivoBook Model L203MA)?
3. When installing the LL UEFI test version 4.2 and upgrading thereafter to LL 4.8; will it give the same result as installing the LL 4.8 directly in legacy mode?

So I recently installed Linux Lite 4.8 and installed a driver for my GPU (MSI RX 580 4G) because I was having frame rate problems playing games.
Driver: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK
So I installed following the directions for Ubuntu and now every time I boot with

I am trying to migrate from Windows 7.  I tried transferring my Firefox profile I was using with W7.  I renamed the default profile and inserted my profile. That did not work, I also tried deleting the installed profile and inserted mine and an error came up that it could not access the profile.

I also cannot import my old bookmarks.  I exported them to an HTML file and put them on a USB stick.  I used Firefox's import tool and nothing was found.  I put the HTML file on my desktop and I could open it and open the links inside, but would really like to have them transferred.  I am sure I used the prescribed way of doing this so I am at a loss as to why it does not work here.

I am in the process of setting up Firefox Sync to see if that will work.

Hi there!
I'm facing some issues with a game that I'm playing in browser. The game is Forge of Empires, which was previously based on Flash. As Flash will no longer be supported starting with December 2020, the developers switched to HTML5 platform.
However, the game runs very slow, many times the screen is freezing for several minutes, which is quite annoying.
I'm using Chrome web browser.
Is there any tweak that I could do to make this game run faster?
Thanks in advance!
