I'm having a hard time getting Win7 to access LL's passworded Samba shares. I understand this is a very common problem, and it seems the only solution is a group policy hack available only in Pro level Windows editions. Too bad for such an important function.


I will keep on working on that, but there is another problem I'm having at the moment.


I have configured smb.conf with five of my own shares, and deleted the stock LinuxLiteShare. I also changed the netbios name of my machine to precision, from Lappy. Neither of the two older names exists in the smb.conf file any longer.


And yet upon booting it up today, a Win7 machine not only saw my new shares under Precision, it saw the LinuxLiteShare under Lappy. There must be another source that Samba is reading from? Any insight would be appreciated.

New to Linux so please reply in baby steps(lol).
I have an inspirion 1525 which I installed linux lite on.
I downloaded some movies mp4, avi etc... and they used to play fine but for some reason(I don't play movies a lot on my laptop) they stopped playing instead the video would never start playing(just a frozen blurred screen). The audio played fine, so I downloaded several players to make sure it was not the program( I have handbrake, brasero, smplayer) none of them worked.
I found a site to reinstall drivers so i did the following.

1) First, you need to open up a terminal shell. You can either start up your computer and go to a virtual shell

Ctrl+Alt+F1

or login and open up the gnome terminal

Ctrl+Alt+t

2) Then In the terminal, run the following commands:

This command will refresh your packages

sudo apt-get update

Then you will need to install the linux headers if those are not already installed.

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic

Next, you will need to do a dist-upgrade, which upgrade some packages of your system

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

When that is all done, you will need to reboot your system

sudo reboot

The Installation of the Drivers

1) Repeat step one to open the terminal.

Now install the Nvidia drivers

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates

You have one more step, or else, you will have a high chance that you just soft-bricked your system. For safe measures, run this final command:

sudo nvidia-xconfig

*There was a well known bug that the Nvidia installation script did not run that command. If that config file is not created, your graphics will not work.

Now reboot your system:

sudo reboot

Congratulations! You should now be using Nvidia Drivers.

Now I can play videos but my desktop settings are only 600x800 and the video is too large for the players screen. any help would be appreciated.

Hi guys,


I'm running 2.4 x64. The monitor keeps going into standby and locking me out. I have the unit to Sleep at 75 min, and the monitor display to sleep at 60 min, with "Switch off display" at 50 min.


Under Extended I have sleep mode set to Suspend, and monitor sleep mode set to Standby. Lock is checked.


I have the screensaver turned off. When I bring up the screensaver prefs, I get that the daemon is not running error. On the Advanced tab I have Power management enabled, with Standby after 120, Suspend after 120, and off after 240. But I've also tried turning off Power Management.


The screen is locking after maybe 15 minutes tops. I would like to use this function, but would rather delete it than fight it like this.


Thanks.

I have a Dell Dimension 310 desktop computer and also an Ipad mini that I would like to print from using a Linux 2.4 OS.  I am asking for recommendations of compatible HP printers that I can purchase.  I am fine with an inkjet style $200 or less.  thnx

Brought a laptop from the dead for a friend.  All is well except the keyboard backlight won't work in Linux Lite.

The keyboard lights when powering up.  Works in the BIOS setup, and as it boots, but goes off as soon as it hits Linux Lite GRUB.  I've tried the Fn+Z combination and it changes nothing.  I've spent a few hours searching online and i've seen nothing definitive.  Some mention turning off ACPI in the BIOS.  They say it makes the keyboard backlight work in Ubuntu, but the function keys and Power Management won't work.  I don't have ACPI settings in the BIOS for this laptop.  But I have set the keyboard backlight to ON instead of 15 second TIMER.

I need help on this one.

For the record, in the Keyboard settings, I don't see a more specific Keyboard Layout than Toshiba Satellite S3000.  I get the same behavior as I do when I just use the System Defaults.  Everything else works except the backlight.

this is the error message that I get in the window. 

<Updating sources has failed.  Refer to /var/log/lite-software.log for more information.>

Also, how do I attach screen shots to my posts?  I notice that others are attaching screen shots to their posts.  thnx,

Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars - Native Linux Client 1.5, installed from DVD.

I see only black window, and music is playing in the background.

Log provided, there are libGL errors, I believe it's the problem, how to fix it? I cannot install proprietary AMD drivers.

I just received an update yesterday that changed the boot up and shut down screens from the normal LinuxLite 2.4 to Ubuntu 14.04, I am confused as to how to correct it. It doesn't seem to affect the performance but with my lack of knowledge of linux it can be frustrating knowing that a simple update can change baseline systems.
Any suggestions as to how to correct this issue would be appreciated, also I did want to mention that the update that caused this issue did ask me if I wanted to keep something or other and it pointed in the direction of the /etc/ folder, I cant remember the rest of the file path. ???
Thanks for your time

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 2.6 Beta is now available for testing. After months of dedicated development by the team and outsourced developers, we're proud to announce the release of the Linux Lite Control Center. Linux Lite Control Center aims to provide one central location for everything that you needed to configure your computer. We're also pleased to announce the inclusion of Systemback, a versatile tool that makes it easy to create backups of the system and the users configuration files. Linux Lite is now deployed across large networks and systems, Systemback allows the creation of a custom version of Linux Lite that can then be deployed to multiple machines in a given scenario. See below for more information on both of these new applications in Linux Lite.

As usual you still get the latest Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Wine (via Lite Software) and Gimp.

Changelog:
Firefox 39.0
LibreOffice 5.0
Base: 14.04.3
New Wallpapers.
New Lite Welcome.
New root terminal theme.
Updated Help Manual.
Added Linux Lite Control Center - provides one central location for everything you need to configure your computer.
Added Systemback - system back up and OS creation tool.
Added Disks - easy to use partition, hard drive and SSD configurator.
Added Crtl+Alt+Del - brings up logout/restart/shutdown dialogue.
Added VLC Browser Plugin.
Added Dark theme - Zukitwo Dark Reloaded.
Latest WhiskerMenu.

Introducing the Linux Lite Control Center - The Linux Lite Control Center was created with new folk to linux in mind. We wanted to build an application that was one central location for everything that you needed to configure your computer. We recognise that it is sometimes hard to find where things are on a linux based operating system. Lite Control Center aims to address that dilemma. Built much like a web page, Lite Control Center has a menu on the left as categories, and within those categories buttons that launch whichever application you are wanting to use. Lite Control Center is currently considered beta and we would value your feedback on this application before Linux Lite 2.6 Final is released. Lite Control Center can be found on the taskbar next to the terminal icon.

Systemback - During the 2.6 development cycle, we asked the community which system restore tool they favoured the most and why. After receiving excellent feedback on social media and the Forums, the community chose Systemback to be included in Linux Lite 2.6. Systemback is extremely versatile. You can easily restore the previous state of your computer, perform system copying, system installation and Live system creation. This is especially useful for those wanting to deploy their custom version of Linux Lite across multiple machines, something the community has been asking for.

Menu Location - Menu, System, Systemback.



New Dark Theme - To apply, go to Menu, Settings, Appearance. Select Zukitwo Dark Reloaded. Then go to Menu, Settings, Window Manager. Select Zukitwo Dark Reloaded. Log out/in to apply the new theme.
