How to watch Bt sport on linux lite (You have to have a BT account)
I found this on a Ubuntu forum.
Open terminal and copy and paste each line and press enter.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pipelight
sudo pipelight-plugin --list-enabled
sudo pipelight-plugin --disable silverlight5.1
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight5.0
It takes a while to install and you may have to enable Silverlight plugin on the BT Sport Website after logging in but it works for me.

Yesterday I was receiving this repository error (or some version of it) for most of the day on both LL 2/64 and LL 2.2/64 in virtualbox.
Quote:Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/di...4/Packages Hash Sum mismatch
Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead
The fix that ended up working, so far, is to reapply Google's signing key
Code: wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
So far I've only needed to reapply the signing key to LL 2, the problems with LL 2.2 stopped on their own.

| Upgrade Script |

Looking to give people a way to upgrade, interactively and easily. The upgrade will ONLY be applicable for LL series releases ie. You will be able to upgrade from any version in the 2.0 - 2.8 series, but not from the 2.0 to a future 3.0 series.
This feature has been requested a lot. The script is in it's infancy, there is still much to do. If you'd like to test do the following:
1) Do a fresh install of 2.0 to a Virtualbox.
2) Make a file called lite-upgrade and make it executable.
2) Copy the script to /usr/bin
3) Click on the Whisker Menu and type in: gksudo lite-upgrade in the search box. Follow the prompts.
Of course I welcome code contributions and suggestions 
This is what I have so far:
Code: #!/bin/bash

Hi Guy's. Got a nasty surprise when I switched on tonight. Went to find a page that I had bookmarked in Firefox and find that everything has disapeared. Just like that! Does anyone know what I can do to retrieve the bookmarks toolbar? I am very unhappy that all my precious bookmarks have gone into thin air. Hope you can help me out on this one. Regards Walt

| Boot ISO from Grub |

GRUB2 is able to directly boot ISO's and I use this feature often, but LinuxLite does not work.
Add the menu entry as shown:
Code: menuentry "LinuxLite ISO" {
set isofile="/linux-lite-2.2-32bit.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,2)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.gz
}
The ISO boots but produces lines stating "Can't open /dev/sr0" and "/dev/sdb" then "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."
Looking for help on other forums, I found this topic that describes the problem accurately and gives a solution:
http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/node/197
Quote:I notice that I didn't include lupin-casper:
Description: Add support for loop-mount installations to casper
I am adding that package to the iso image and will test that....
That worked!
Can this fix be included to the LinuxLite ISO too please?

| Linux Lite on Win7 Virtual PC (Display Resolution) |

I'm running Linux Lite on a virtual machine, Windows 7 Virtual PC.
Had I know better I might have used VirtualBox, but as it is I now have all my legacy MS machines in that VM.
Anyway, all seems to be working well, except that the Linux machines have a display resolution of 800 X 600. Exactly the same thing happens with Linux Mint.
I gather this is due to the MS Virtual PC not being very forthcoming with the virtual display definition, and so Linux has to
assume a modest VGA capability.
In fact what the MS Virtual PC uses by default is a Ye Olde S3 Graphics 764/765 [Trio32/64/64v+], which shows up better in the PCI Devices - System Information, rather than Display - System Information. The Virtual Card shows up as having a memory of 64MB (32bit, non-prefetchable), which is more than capable of 1024 x 786, which is what I setup on Windows 3.11 and Windows 98 VM's, using MS drivers, but there doesn't seem to be a Linux equivalent driver.
The original plan on the Linux Lite Virtual machine, and on Mint, was to stop the X server, create an xorg.config.new, edit in the extra resolution mode(s) info and restart with the new config.
The minor detail is I can't see how to stop the X server, and having read a few messages it may not be a very wise move.
So what is the best way to get a Linux Lite configured with 1024 x 768 on a Win7 Virtual PC,
Please, keeping in mind that my Linux skills are relatively novice at present.

Hi everybody! Fairly new to the whole Linux world but have been fiddling and what not for the last year trying to learn. I've revived an old Dell Dimension 2100 running XP and LL 2.0 in dual boot, atm. Have tried several distros but I really love this one.
