Hello All! I'm an 3D and 2D animator in San Francisco.I am a newbe to linux lite who has moved to linux from Win XP.I never have looked back.I recently installed linux lite 2.2 on two laptops I found in a raging rain storm bound for the recyclers. They run great!

Does Linux Lite have a channel on Freenode?

Have installed Linux-Lite-2.2-64bit without an hitch as you would expect but even though i selected an english keyboard and even tested it before moving on, i still find that i now have the American keyboard. Can someone help me to sort this out please. Thanks

Just a quick hello from a snowy and cold Derbyshire.

I've been on Linux for about 6 years, the last 3 or 4 on Peppermint, which is excellent.

I've tried loads of distros but Peppermint has always been my main one, but trying LL 2.2 that might change.

I'm totally Windowless and now have LL duel booted with Peppermint. So flip flopping between the 2.

Look forwarding to contributing. 

i have been updating 2 lite 2.0 machines every 2 week.. today one machine downloaded 27 updates but the up date window said 0 installed and closed. the machine has not run in 2 weeks when it was last updated, then was shut down. no surfing etc. just update and shut.
any clues ?? thanks, t

Hello everyone from South Wales. Here's hoping that everyone has had a great Christmas. Have heard quite a bit about Linux Lite 2.2 so i thought i'd give it a try out on my USB flash drive and if everything works out i would then do a full hard drive install. Thanks

Hi guys,

Used LL before and after too many problems back on the workhorse. Hope to learn more. The old mind is getting older...

Hi,

I sucessfully installed Linux Lite 2.2 on my old HP Laptop recently. I set all languages and keyboard settings to Swiss German and everything works just great with one exception: At the login screen I still seem to  have the american keyboard layout ( z and y changed).

As I said, once logged in, all applications work as desired. Can anybody help me with this?

Otherwise great work guys!! Much faster than original Ubuntu on this laptop.

Thanks a lot

Heinz

Looks like I've broken my Linux Lite audio system.
What I did was

sudo apt-get install grilo-plugins-0.2
sudo apt-get install rhythmbox

Which worked great on lubuntu 14.1 LXDE  (after installing missing basics gcc, make and samba).
Got it playing music from a Windows XP based Twonky media server.

But I tried the same thing on Linux Lite, I found I'd lost the sound.
So I removed the grilo plugin and rhythmbox.

But now, when vlc is invoked on a terminal, I get the following

VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be)
[0x9ebf6c8] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Timeout
[0x9e378f8] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[0x9ebf6c8] main audio output error: module not functional
[0xaf46f3f0] main decoder error: failed to create audio output

When the VLC window finally appears and I try and play, get the following in VLC error window

Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
Connection refused.

Not sure what the best way forward is now.
I'd like to get vlc, pulseaudio and alsa working again, without distroying the Linux Lite.
But I'd also like to get rhythmbox working on Linux Lite with the grilo plugin, to get the same link up with the Twonky server, as is possible with lubuntu.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
