Hello, I just want to say thanks for such a nice clean install with no effort , all my old hardware was sorted from the get go.  That means a lot to non power users when hours aren't wasted just trying to install a new system.  I simply wanted to use Linux on a second hard drive along with XP on another, I plan on doing the INTERNET using this Lite to help make the old XP more secure.  I see nothing out of the box  to not like, it's clean and seems to  roll with what I want.  It took a while to find what I wanted in a Linux system. I like mint and Ubuntu but neither is now giving the older hardware a chance to install, very irritating to install and have a nice screen only disappear after the first boot into the new system, not to mention the resources are much too demanding for a 10 year old computer. I tried correcting display driver issues following other users experiences only to have another obstacle like missing libc and other things happening.  So I kept reading and looking and found this nice distro.  I'll be sure and talk kindly about it to friends

thanks

Hi all,

Registered yesterday, after testing LinuxLite 2.4 for some weeks.
I last fired up Windows about ten years ago...so I 'm not really in Lite's target group.
I've been using several distros over the years, with Puppy Linux as my long-time favourite.

Lite is impressive! Clearly a lot of work/attention to details/love has gone into it.

Of course I miss some of Puppy's features: its small size, its speed and the power to work efficiently as root (administrator), but let's not compare apples with oranges.

Linux Lite is a wonderful project. Congrats to the developers group!

Hello from meekee in North London UK

This is by no means an offical thing, but as a side project been trying to find a cool way to check for updates (without sudo lol). And it's fun to make my own stuff lol. Gonna post progress (and code later this week) as I go along. Maybe a few people are interested in testing it out down the road. For now tho a fun screenshot.







Whats really fun here is I can get the count of new packages with no sudo. No fancy stuff really. But atm this is only at startup. Gotta add a timer, and most likely manual execution of the update check.




Again I stress this isnt an offical tool, just has linuxlite in the about because why not lol.

Getting this error when trying to remove Firefox Cache:



Here is a brief overview of the desktop:

i have ubuntu currently installed and need to install linux lite without benefit of a usb or cd, in otherwords, it has to be installed from a down loaded file without resorting to a boot from a usb or cd.  Is this possible.

Trying to install 2.4 on a new SSD.  I'm getting through the actual installation but when it automatically reboots, it hangs up.  I get the screen with the feather and the progress bar.  The progress bar makes it all the way to the end then.....nothing.  I've tried a few times with the same result.  The last time, I took a shower and shaved while waiting and nothing had changed.  If you hit ANY key (not the "ANY" key), it reboots into nothingness (black screen).  I've d/l'ed it twice.  First time was a torrent and burned it at whatever speed it automatically burns.  The second time was the regular d/l burned at the slowest speed allowed (4x, I think).

Any thoughts?  I'd like to install this on my new SSD although it won't really hurt my feelings to wait a couple weeks and try installing 2.6.

Hi,
Possible bug in LL2.6 beta.
1. Installed LL2.6 to a 32GB usb stick
2. Installed many programs.
3. Used Systemback to create a live usb image and converted it to an .iso image.
4. Moved and saved the image to my internal HDD.
5. Re-Booted and checked 32Gb install. Everything OK.
6. Used Systemback to create a live DVD, which finished correctly.
But
Both my original install to the 32Gb stick and the newly created live DVD are now missing
the icons for volume and Bluetooth. In their place is a section titled “no indicators”.
Also the network icon, which was originally positioned in the spot where the “no indicators” now appears, is now positioned between the keyboard and battery icons.

All my installed programs work fine and no other glitches have been found.
Has anyone experienced this bug and how do I get back my icons in place of the “no indicators”.

Also in the beta version, I noticed that when installing to the 32Gb stick, the first install info screen still refers to ver 2.4 and not 2.6. Only minor and probably easily fixed.

BTW, ver2.6 is fantastic.
