When I click on "appearance" I only see 3 themes.
If I navigate to the "themes" folder there are many more listed.
Why aren't they showing up in "appearance"?

Steam installed on my main SSD, but I want games to be saved to another internal SSD.
When I bring up steam and try to download a game it gives me a chance to designate the drive to save to.
When I navigate to the drive it says "drive must be writeable".
Evidently the permissions on the drive are wrong.

How can I correct this so I can save to correct drive?

Thanks

I want to remove some of the packages that came pre-installed on Linux Lite.
What is the best way to remove them?
I don't want to muck up my system, all is running fine right now.

Thanks

I have an older laptop (c.2007) with two separate physical drives (both formatted as MBR): sda contains my OSes (LL/Win7 dual-boot); sdb contains  /mnt/DATA for file-sharing between the OSes.

However, I would like to partition sda as a GPT partitioned drive.  Of course I will no longer be able to run Windows OS on it (except as a virtual machine), but the purpose is to use sda to showcase a number of different distros to interested parties. 

Question...
If I have my OSes on GPT-formatted sda, will I still be able to symlink with files on the MBR-formatted sdb, or will symlinking only work if both drives are GPT-only, or both drives are MBR-only, rather than a 'mixed' system?

Many thanks for any help on this one.

As some of you may know I used Nehal J Wani's YouTube video to successfully set up a LL2.4/Win8.1  dual-boot, with UEFI fully enabled on an Asus G750js laptop.  Within the next month I intend to post here a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this. 

However, I have one very minor issue to resolve, and would appreciate guidance on this.
My grub-screen lists the choice of the above two operating systems, except that LL is listed as Ubuntu: this is because an Ubuntu live disk is needed to enable UEFI in the final stages of LL installation.  Now Wani's video does show how to edit grub.cfg using 'Vim' software, so that the grub-screen listing of 'Ubuntu' is changed to 'Linux Lite', but his video runs so fast I find it almost impossible to clarify what he's done. Also he uses LL2.0, so the inside of grub.cfg looks a bit different to LL2.4.

Using sudo apt-get install vim I downloaded the required software but am unsure what to do next.
Any help/guidance gratefully received.

I'm sure this is simple but I can't figure it out.  My case has 5 HDDs and an SSD.  The SSD is for the OS only and the HDDs are for misc storage.  I just added a new 2TB HDD in an external enclosure connected via USB.  Using the sudo fdisk -l command, I can see the new HDD (assuming my math is right and 2000GB is 2TB) but it doesn't show on either the tree (in the Home Folder) nor as an icon on my desktop (where the rest show).

Here's what it shows in the terminal for this HDD:

Hello again Jerry

I installed LL on a machine that also has windows 10 on it.
They are on separate SSD's.
Windows was already installed and then I installed LL from USB.
LL did not recognize any other OS's and so I picked "something else" from the install drive selection.
I had already formatted the drive with a boot partition, a home partition, and a swap partition.
I designated them as such for the install with grub to install at the first boot partition.
All went well, but I am not getting a grub screen at startup. I have to enter the bios boot screen and select which system to boot.
The windows drive is set as default in the bios.

I then re-installed. This time LL found windows and so I selected "erase the drive" as my install option.
LL installed and designated the windows SSD as the location for grub.
Finished the install, but this time there is no way to boot LL at all. No selection in the bios boot screen will activate LL.
Windows was untouched and boots as normal.

I installed a 3rd time, and LL did not find windows. So, I went through the first scenario again. And again, I can boot either OS but only by getting into the bios boot selector and designating the appropriate boot option.

When I have installed other linux distros on the same machine, if I select "erase the drive", it automatically handles the grub install properly, and when I reboot I have a grub screen to select either windows or linux. Not so with LL.

So, I do want to keep running LL, but I would like to be able to simplify the boot selection at startup.

Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks and I do love Linux Lite.

Introducing the Linux Lite Control Center.

[img height=600 width=774]http://i.imgur.com/XmAAT8R.png[/img]

This is the culmination of months of work by a number of Linux Lite developers both inside and outside the project.
Before I begin, I'd like to personally thank the following people for their fantastic efforts in bringing this original concept to a finished state:

John 'Shaggytwodope' Jenkins - original GUI design and coding
Brian 'DarthLukan' Tomlinson - Python Developer extraordinaire
Milos 'Misko_2083' Pavlovic - Linux Lite Developer
Jerry Bezencon - Linux Lite Developer
Josh Erickson - Developer

Each of these people played a crucial role in the Control Centers development. It could not progress the way it did without any of them, so thank you

The original idea was to have one central place where people could configure just about anything on Linux Lite. The Linux Lite equivalent of the Windows Control Panel if you like, but better We want people to rely on one area in the OS where they could find things. The Lite Control Center aims to fulfill that.

Features

System Information:

On the main tab, we have basic system information, OS, cpu, ram, kernel, graphics and soundcard information (we have yet to test multiple sound or video card configurations)

We also include a Screenshot button. This will take a picture of the Lite Control Center System Information tab (only), upload it to imgur.com for pasting of the url into the Forums. When you need support, we have a snaphot of your systems key hardware configuration quickly and easily.

Desktop:

Anything to do with configuring your Desktop should be here. We've also added the ability to add and remove Computer, Home, Network and Trash icons to the Desktop.

Software:

A one-stop-shop for all your software management needs.

Network:

Network configuration and management.

System:

Configuration of everything system related on default Linux Lite.

The Lite Control Center is for Linux Lite 2.4+ only and we hope to have it ready for Linux Lite 2.6. It is not tested, nor will it be supported on anything lower than Linux Lite 2.4

The Lite Control Center does not add program icons to the Lite Control Center as you install applications. The only buttons displayed are the ones we provide on a vanilla Linux Lite install.

Once installed, you can find Lite Control Center in Menu, Settings, Lite Control Center.

We'd like as many people as possible to install and test this with us. To install the Lite Control Center:

This is probably not a Linux Light problem though I thought I would throw it out in case somebody could help.
On chromium based browsers such as opera or Google Chrome, hulu and some lectures I have to watch, crash and completely shut off the computer approx thirty minutes into viewing. I must maintain two adobe brands as Firefox uses 11.2.202.468 and Google and Opera use adobe 18. This does not happen on Firefox only on the Chromium based browsers.  Thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas how to fix this. 

Firefox has stated they have an upgrade from 38 to 39 but on Linux Light we cannot upgrade till the developers add it to the software package manager. When were you planning to do that?
