Hi

I'm not sure if this was posted allready. Haven't found it.

I just wanted to run the Intel Graphics Installer and it told me the Distribution is not supported  ???
The last time I did it right after installing Lite it worked just fine.

Hi -- Up to last week, I was using Krita in LinuxLite 2.2 on my Lenovo ThinkPad.

With the release of LL 2.4, I decided it was time to do a clean install and get rid of my Windows XP dual-boot. So I did, and now LL has my entire hard drive to itself. So far, so good.

Now I want to re-install Krita. In Synaptic Package Manager, 2.8.5 is the latest version listed. I'd like to install Krita 2.9, so I followed the Ubuntu steps on this page (adding the Kubuntu backports repository):
https://krita.org/download/krita-desktop/

When I launched Krita I get a "Critical Error: Essential application components could not be found", and the title screen behind it seems to say version 2.8.5.

I was hoping for Krita 2.9, so I found instructions on this page:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015...ntu-14-04/

...where it says I should "install krita-2.9 krita-2.9-dbg". But when I do, it says it can't locate either of those resources.

I'd settle for a working copy of Krita 2.8, so I've also tried uninstalling the Krita packages with Synaptic, and re-installing with Synaptic, and I still get the Critical Error when I try to run it.

I feel stuck. I'd sure appreciate any help! Thanks.

Hi!
This is my first thread here and I'll try to do my best to explain my question. I have to note that english is not my first language so I apologize in advance

Brief explanation:
I use OpenVPN and I did set up it and it's working. When I click on "Network" shortcut on the down right panel - near clock/calendar there's a sub-menu "VPN CONNECTIONS"> vpnname. By clicking on "vpnname" connection that is already set up it usually connects (left-mouse click) authomatically - unless "ask every time" is checked. What I find interesting is that before I type my VPN password (or it auto connects) the system asks me for my user password in order to be able to access the VPN connection.

I LOVE that feature and I could never imagine how to do it by myself.
Question:
Is this feauture (asking for user password in order to connect to a VPN) set up by default or did I configure this by accident?
I know that in order to edit/delete connections user password are asked; what I don't get is how to configure my network manager gui to pop out a password fill every time in order to connect to a openvpn.
Short: If someone get access to my computer, the person will not be able to connect to my VPN even If the vpn password is saved on the system.

despite my bad grammar I hope you understand my question

Thanks !

Maybe you need this "Hub"

hello
i am new to Linux-Lite but am very impressed at this point,i install many dif distros to see what i can tweak and still have it work.so far all is great i have updated and remastered and am soon to try out my HTPC software ,Minitube,Kodi and others.i offer iso's
to try if interested intel and nvidia all tools to build are left in place to learn from.
i will work on one to play quakelive from soon...
i do have quakelive ready now and seems to work very well if anybody wants to try it out you need a quakelive acct even a free one will work iso will be ready to share later today.let me know very cool stuff...

I have LL on a 8GB stick using Unetbootin. It has many programs installed. Have done the usual trick of deleting the casper-rw file, resizing and making an ext2 partition labeled casper-rw for persistence. According to gparted the size of the stick is 7.45GiB with 5.28Gib used and 2.17Gib unused.

Used DD to copy to a 16Gb stick which successfully cloned the 8Gb stick breaking it into a 8Gb partition and an 8Gb unallocated partition. I want to increase the persistence to use all the 16Gb stick, i.e. the unallocated partition, but retaining the installed progs.

Initially, I deleted the casper-rw file and reduced the OS to a minimum. This of course removed all the installed programs leaving just the OS.

Could anyone offer any suggestions as to how I might go about achieving this. Tks!

I don't know if I have posted in here. Hello, I am Irishluck83 and I run Archlinux and LL. I also make linux videos for the Linux Distro Community. I will help in here when I can. Glad to meet you guys.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 2.4 Final is now available for download.

With the release of Linux Lite 2.4 Final, we continue to evolve into a fully featured, light weight free operating system. Major announcement - there is now an upgrade path on Linux Lite from within the LTS series for each release, update your current install from now until April 2016 with one click, see below for details on this. There are enhancements to Lite Software, Install Updates, Lite Tweaks and Network Share Settings. Bountysource has been a major factor in our ability to enhance our software. By paying developers to help improve our software, we improve the quality and usability of our applications. Disk Encryption and LVM is now supported - see below for details. There is added support for exFAT, Android MTPFS, VPN connections and NTP to name a few. You get the latest Whisker Menu, there's a new default Terminal theme, and the Windows (Super) key now opens the Menu.

I'm incredibly proud of our small, dedicated team, and what we're able to accomplish.

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

Roadmap:  We now have a Roadmap in place. Linux Lite is divided up into 5 interim releases per LTS. See here for details - https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/code.html#roadmap

New Lite Software Menu, System, Lite Software (formerly Install Additional Software and Remove Additional Software).

Lite Software - Formerly Install Additional Software and Remove Additional Software, Lite Software combines all of these features into one tool.
Install Updates - Now with an easy to follow GUI interface.
Network Share Settings - Formerly Network Share Settings with 2 sub menus, this is now combined into one Menu link with a new GUI interface.

Lite Upgrade: You can now upgrade your Linux Lite install to the latest version. A HUGE thank you to misko for helping with this code, arguably one of the more complex pieces we have worked on, but now that the framework is in place, adding future code will be a lot easier.

Some things to be aware of when upgrading:

- Your current home folder config files are backed up before the upgrade finishes, that means some of the upgrade features that changes the way you have things, can be restored to the way you had it, eg. the terminal theme.
- Menu order: eg. Network Share Settings drops to the bottom of the System Menu. From Linux Lite 3.0 onwards, we will create all of our Menu links which will prevent most Menu's from not showing alphabetically at times. For now, you can use Menu, Settings, Main Menu to reorder things but be careful, do not click on Restore System Configuration.

Back up locations are:

/home/user/.llupgradebackup/2.4
/etc/skel/.llupgradebackup/2.4

So if you want to restore any of your original config's that's where they'll be. You must restore to both locations. (for advanced users)

- If you have a custom terminal theme, this will change when you run Lite Upgrade (see above if you wish to keep your original theme)

To upgrade: Install the lite-upgrade-series2 package:
