Hi Guys.
I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 14 and Windows 10, i would like to delete completely ubuntu and install Linux Lite.
Is it possible to do that without modifying partitions?
Actually i just need to keep windows 10 partition intact.

I am unable to open gparted, using either the 'gui' or 'terminal' methods.
This is the output from the terminal when I use that method...

My 12 year old son has been using our old Asus laptop to play SuperTuxKart on Zorin 9 OS using a USB attached GXT 27 Steering Wheel.
It works superbly and it's great!  So, now I would like to play it myself on my newer Asus laptop using the installed LL2.8 OS...
but there's a glitch.

The steering wheel is apparently not recognised as a device (not listed), under SuperTuxKart/Options/Controls. 
Only 'Keyboard 0' is listed as a device.

Within SuperTuxKart Controls I clicked on 'Add a Device' and the advice given was:
"To add a new gamepad/joystick device, simply start SuperTuxKart with it connected and it will appear in the list"

Well I tried that advice but it still doesn't work, even after several reboots.

Any help with this much appreciated.
Many thanks
Mike

Well this is interesting... Dual Integrated OS without VM...!!!

Is LL 2.8 or  (3.0 to come) is better suited to ? Of the 38 results from the LL Hdware dbase, this system was not listed there. (yet?)

HP Pavilion, 23-h009 AIO computer.

Processor: AMD A6 5200 APU 2.00 GHz (quad core)
Touch Screen, 8GB of RAM,
1TB HD (SATA)
Blu Tooth
Ntwork:
wifi: Ralink RT3290 802.11 bgn
Ethernet: Realtek PCIe
Display: AMD Radeon HD8400

One of the main thing here, is how well my teenager's ipod/itunes music library will interact with whatever music app can be used on LL. Clementine/gtkpod.

I told my teenager that by the end of this year, Linux Lite will be replacing another of our Windows computers. This one being the computer she uses the most. (an HP AIO).

Because of the large tower and the odd location of the usb ports, so far, she's given only necessary attention to the computer LL is currently on.

Other than the fact that she'll use LO and FF (research) for school projects etc., the most important selling point for her to use LL as a permanent OS is how well Clementine and or gtk pod  will work with her 5th Gen ipod Touch and her itunes library.

We've downloaded both today -so once she gets to it, we'll hear the verdict.

I found this info http://askubuntu.com/questions/98628/can...th-an-ipod.

Does anyone here have any pointers or suggestions how to best get her ipod to work with LL?

Perhaps to my parental shame ,  I should tell her regardless of her verdict, LL is going on that computer.

I downloaded the second life file  and the firestorm second life file, unzipped both now im stuck . When i click both files and go to the read me text under installation it says this,The Second Life Linux client can entirely run from the directory you have
unpacked it into - no installation step is required.  If you wish to
perform a separate installation step anyway, you may run './install.sh'

Run ./secondlife from the installation directory to start Second Life.

So i dont know how to get it to run i got confused when it said no installation is required because i see no start or launch in folder :-\



Ok Problem resolved!! This OS rocks so much the more i learn stuff

Hi everyone im new to Linux , I just removed  windows vista and just in time 
So far i am loving me some linux lite 

For reasons I won't go into, I decided to install Linux Mint 17.3 alongside LL 2.8. Everything proceeded smoothly, but when the GRUB menu displayed and when I tried to run LL, I received an error message: file name expected.

I've never had issues with dual-booting previously and am somewhat concerned presently. I've checked on the forum and have found this issue mentioned before - it appears to be a bug in GRUB however I'm not sure if previous problems are similar to mine. One suggestion was to post the results of sudo update-grub - here they are:

paul@paul-desktop ~ $ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for paul:

I'm not the brightest spark going around and would appreciate step by step instructions.

Thanks

Hi,


I'm not able to set the system clock to synchronize. I go into the LL Control Center and select Date and Time. On the first tab is "[] Synchronize date and time over network". I check that, the NTP service starts, but I get an error that it couldn't complete:





I added the government server just to be sure that's not the problem.


I added the NTP rule to the UFW firewall. I even dropped the firewall for testing, but I still get the same error.


The odd thing is that the clock has the correct time, so it must be syncing, but this dialog is erroring out.


Any insight would be appreciated.
