I want to restore the following two settings as they were originally in v2.2:

- un-link Super key from the Menu (I always assign Ctrl+Esc to open the Menu and use Super key for all kinds of other shortcuts)
- restore original Terminal theme

I know that the backup files:

Hi
Great distro- congratulations and thanks to the developers.
I have been using Linux for many years and have tried many distros, usually dual or tri-boot with Windows.
Over the years many distros, including Windows, have not catered very well for 64 bit, and the dropping of gnome type desktop (without having to download alternatives) meant I used Ubuntu and Mint less and less and often reverted to Windows 7.

Linux lite was easy to install and update, and intuitive.
Thanks

Hi All,
Just playing around with this project again, but have hit a snag. Latest Gparted seems to have a bug.

When resizing a fat32 partition, the setup is accepted, but on pressing Enter, the program exits. No changes are made to the stick. Repeating the operation on an older version of Gparted will resize the partition perfectly. Only happening on latest linux distros with gparted included.

Anyone else encountered this. I've tried on 2 different computers running LL and the same behaviour is exhibited.

The next problem is simply creating a usb stick. I'm using my old computer running Mint9 and Gparted and have created many functioning usb sticks using this computer.

Just now, I've created a live usb of LL on a brand new unused 8gb stick, resized the fat32 to minimum, and created an ext2 casper-rw partition on the remainder. All looks fine to me (done using my older reliable machine).

However, the stick won't boot. It stops on the SYSLINUX -> Boot: prompt and simply repeats the boot sequence, i.e. displays the F2 and F12 options.

Could anyone advise me on how to fix this.

Also, I'm having great difficulty in creating a workable live usb with persistence lately, using new sticks. Is it possible the sticks themselves are being manufactured differently. I've made upwards of 50 sticks with persistence in the past without any dramas, but lately it's hit or miss on whether success is achieved. Something has changed and I can't put my finger on it.

Any thoughts! It's very frustrating!  :'(

I had been distro-hopping for a while, but have installed lite since 2.0 about a year ago and have stuck with lite since.  This is a pretty good stretch since my distro-hopping started about 4 years ago.  Prior to lite, I had found the now defunct crunchbang as I thought they had a great combination of apps offerings somewhere between minimalism and bloat.  I also liked the way they offered choices through scripts during install, which in a way was like offered in lite 2.0 and 2.2 but after install ( i don't see it in 2.4, maybe I haven't explored enough yet).  I  liked the dark theme, pretty much like lite does.  However, I've always drifted towards xfce, being an old-fashioned point and click guy; crunchbang used openbox but I installed xfce instead, and it was rock solid stable as it used the stable branch of debian.  The only downside was not being able to use bluetooth for tranferring photos easily from my smartphone and had to look for alternatives for that.  Finally, I decided to try lite as it used xfce as a graphical front end by default and uses lts ubuntu as base, which solves the bluetooth issue.  And it looks really nice right out of the box.  The  only issue has been with lightdm in both my 32-bit laptop and 64-bit desktop, which is solved by installing gdm instead.  At this point, I think lite will stay in my boxes for a while.

[quoI;v installed about 4 icon themes in  terminal  from noobslab and am unable to update the icon cache.
Or is this even important?  I have tried searching everything for cure, anybody found a solution?  All these themes cant be bad. Or poorly designed.  I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to save a few pics from the mighty web.  They save fine but I can't view them.  The viewer says, "Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x3c 0x21)".  The file properties show the pic name as: DCF1020.jpeg meaning it's a .jpeg.  Both the thumbnail and the pic in the viewer just shows a red circle with a line through it.

What gives?  How do I fix this?  I'm trying to d/l some legit pics of some old friends.

Ok i'm a beginner. I installed unrar but the only unrar code i know is x  which unrars to /home/linuxlite.  I  have my rar files on a usb pen. How do i unrar them to the usb pen? I did check the man page but only e seemed relevant but that just unrars to home as well. What is the point of x and e then?  >

Although I have newer machines I use, I have a couple older Pentium 4 boxes (2.66 and 2.8 Ghz, 533 bus (both), 2 Gb ram on both) that I like playing around with. I dual boot as there are some XP games that won't run on Wine.  I don't go on-line with the XP side due to security concerns, etc so frequently go on-line with the Linux side. 


I have tried a bunch of Distros on these machines, especially those with low system requirements.  Usually these run quite well and fast until I hit the icon to pull up a browser ... then it takes forever to get a browser window open.  Once open it will take forever to pull up Gmail,etc.  Obviously if it's Chrome or a similar browser it is somewhat quicker the next time as it's running something in the background, but still slow.


I was recently watching the resource usage when I hit the browser icon and the CPU did not max out (pretty close though 90+%, the memory did not max out, no swap used.  So, based on this I figured it's limited by bus speed or something and that's as good as it is going to get.  I am always trying new Distros though, more of a hobby than anything , and last week I loaded a Debian-testing based Distro, I think it was Sparky Linux, and the browsers (relatively) screamed! I would say they came up 5X faster than on the Ubuntu releases tried, and once up loading new pages was faster!  After a couple days of trouble with Sparky though I gave up.  For whatever reason Debian does not seem to run well on these older boxes of mine and I getinto enless loops, can't load drivers, etc.  I liked the speed though, so tried some more Debian based Distros, the last I tried was a Makulu Distro.  I really liked it, but again had some issues and gave up.  Then I noticed that Makulu had a Ubuntu based Distro, and figured "what the heck ..." and tried that.  I seems stable, and the browsers are quite fast.  I should note that most of these Distros tried (incl. Makulu) used xfce (or a similar lightweight DE if the Distro did not have xfce as an option).


So, what's the deal ... why do browsers run faster in Debian (even though I can't use them), and why are browsers running much faster on Makulu (7.1) Ubuntu based than other Ubuntu based Distros I have tried?  This would lead me to believe that a lot of the speed issue I am experiencing is due to OS/software not my old hardware.  What effects browser speed (way beyond my knowledge but I find it puzzling)?  Anyone have and ideas, just curious more than anything?

Hello

i'm writing with my Girl-Friend on a FB (know that it's not segure ://  ) , but we
are not some terro/ activists

and in KDE / Fire Fox , on FB there's a "bar/list" on the right side , where are all
(friends) "conocidos" and when some1 is logged in there are two opt. - green
"web" + DOT or green "cell" / "cellular" + DOT / point

but recently there has started 2 happen? a strange "flowers" / things  :
"She" or next to her name (she's always writes from a cell phone)
there appear not a "cell" (cellular ) but only green Dot / point , or a
"web" (net / cpu) and Dot or only "1 min."

it is strange because "She" appears as a "web" only somtimes ...
and sometimes as a "cell" , 4 most cases as a (green) Dot  ://
should i be worry , can some1 (listen/ spy) Us ??

                                                                            regards , santis                            

Having my own motorcycle shop. These kind of things irk the hell out of me.
