Latest issue of Linux Format in the Mailserver  section I see the Letter of the Month is a positive experience feedback letter from an Australian user of Linux Lite.

Leaf texture fills the screen, a Zebra Swallowtail Caterpillar munching through to reveal the Construct, awaiting your command.

Hi,

A fresh clean new install of LL 2.2, immediately followed by "Install Updates"
Install all went fine, no errors or warnings during the install.
Carried out all my usual set-up actions, like I have done "many/many" times..

I then went to enable "Auto Login"
Menu > System >Login Settings > "Enable Auto Login"

I get the usual:


then I get prompted for my password, which I enter.
Then after a second or so I get:


and Auto Login does not work.

I have seen the message on Auto Login Bug, but I ran the install updates immediately after install

There is another Thread about adding a user in lightdm.conf, which is not present on this install.
Also an indication of creating one manually.

Any suggestions/pointers welcome.

I'm unable to include formatted url links in this post else I get Server Error messages..!!!!

Thanks... Dave

I'm trying to post a "new" message.

Something embedded that's stopping the post.??
I get:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

last night it crashed, will not boot.

(initramFS)
/init line 352: can't open /root/device/con: no such file
kernel panic - not syncing!
Attemted to kill init
panic ocurred, switching back to text console.

many other errors. I can boot using the install disk but I do not want to reformat unless i have no choice. Any help would be appreciated.

If you install Avira Plugin for Google Chrome , a plugin that warns paw silent infecting websites, so blocking Avira on certain Linux Lite's community sites. It is very likely a false positive, but Linux Lite is probably interested in informing Avira ...?
I have not installed Chrome, but it was one that told it at a Danish forum

I have 2 pc's in the same room, one linuxlite,  one windows 8 and they network ok using usb dongles through my internet hub. But this is painfully slow for big file transfers pc to pc,  it takes all day to transfer several gigs at less than 2mb second.  So I linked the two machines with a network cable,  had no crossover so put a netgear gs605 switch in the middle.  They will not work through this connection and I have set both pc's to set up ip's automatically.  I'm now wondering if there is a setup procedure for this type of connection,  (ad hoc isn't it?)  Is it best to convert the lan cable to crossover to simplify things or should it work as it is now. When I look at my windows 8 adaptor status it says it is sending data but not receiving any. Not sure how to do the same on linuxlite.  When I ask windows 8 to diagnose it's network connection it says
"Ethernet doesn't have a valid ip configuration"  But when I look at the settings for ip4 it is on auto on both machines.  And if I set it to manual, after I've entered 192.168.1.80 and 255.255.255.0 what do I put in the gateway fields?  Surely a direct connection would not need a gateway like it does with the internet hub connection. I will not be using the lan connection for internet as both machines work ok wirelessly.  phew

It was great to see Clementine (music player & podcast) in the new LL2.2 release. This was a great choice (in my view the best choice together with VLC) and seems to reflect the music player poll you cast recently, where the majority voted for both these players.

I really like Clementine for podcasts.  This is because it lists, for example,  the various BBC radio stations and all the podcasts available for download for those stations, making finding your podcast & downloading the RSS feed just a click away as everything is within the same place, i.e. within Clementine. Other music players (e.g. gnome music player) are not so good, as you need to search the RSS feed URL online first and then paste it into the player.

Hi
  After a new install of O.S. Lite 1.0.8. I have a short cut Icon in the top left of the desktop,
it says 32GB File system.

If I hover mouse pointer over Icon it says  " Removable Volume Not Mounted Yet " if I double click I get  "Authentication is required to mount the device "

The same file system shows up in the Home folder but needs to be mounted to get access.
Do I need to retain this shortcut / or should it not be there.

                                                Thanks.

Most Danes know the blue and white advertisement for Tuborg Julebryg (Tuborg Christmas Brew). But probably not many know that the famous animated commercial, which features Santa Claus in blue clothing, is actually older than the beer itself. The commercial was originally launched in 1980 as a special holiday commercial for ordinary Tuborg pilsner, but it became so popular that for Christmas 1981 we created the special Tuborg Julebryg.
