Hi,

I have LL 2.0 installed. I would like to know how to get from LL 2.0 to LL 2.2>
I am fairly new to Linux but I can follow instructions.

Thanks

From the manual on install:


"If you have a webcam, you may encounter a screen during the install asking to 'Take a photo' this feature is supported so that when you first log in, your photo will be displayed as your avatar. If you skip this step, you can use a .png photo of yourself, rename it to .face and place it in your /home/user folder."


I don't have a webcam, but was going to insert a photo as in the second part, but it's unclear to me exactly what to do. 


1) So I take my photo, let's say it's chris.png and I rename it chris.face
2) Where do I put this: If I open Home, I don't have a folder named User, are we talking about my folder named: Chris?  ... and if so, where do I put it in there, should it go into one of the folders in there or just in Chris?  In Filesystem there is a "usr" file but that is "above" Home.


So, basically, do I understand the renaming part correctly and exactly where do I put the renamed folder?


Thanks!

Teamviewer keep changing how they package deb's. As a result it plays havoc with how we offer it.

To get the latest (10) version of Teamviewer do this:

1) Menu, System, Remove Additional Software > remove Teamveiwer.

2) Menu, Favorites, Install Updates

3) Menu, System, Install Additional Software > install Teamveiwer.

You MUST do it in this order or it won't work. Cheers

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place for this and I apologise it this should be under Networks, but is it possible to set a system-wide proxy in LinuxLite, and if so - how?

I would like to use my laptop from my work location which uses a proxy server.  Whilst I can set the proxy correctly in Firefox, I cannot for example update any software because the system cannot find the repository.

Regards,

Hi
I installed 32b LL2.2 and having problems with that prog it says all program installed but they are not. and it force me to do update.  Is ther only i who have that prob?

Hey all! I'm new here and new to Linux, and I'm trying to overcome a problem with screen brightness that seems to be common with the ASUS 1001p netbook. I hope I'm in the right section of the forum; there's no separate video card, of course, but I don't see any other area where this would belong. If it needs to be moved, please do so.

I loaded Linux Lite 2.2 32-bit today, and while it's clear, even with my limited experience, that this PC is better suited to Linux Lite, the screen won't go as bright as it did with Windows.

I updated the BIOS to the most recent version available from ASUS, but that made no difference.

I searched the web and found references to this problem with other versions of Linux revolving around editing the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. I found two different edits, written as follows:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"

...and I tried both (separately, of course) but neither made any difference. Linux Lite tells me that brightness is at maximum, and changing it doesn't make the screen dimmer.

This is far from the biggest problem I could have, but it'd be nice to be able to fix it if a fix exists with Linux Lite.

If it helps, the hardware specs are as follows:

Atom N450 CPU
2 gb RAM
Crucial M4 128 gb SSD
Intel GMA 3150 video, screen resolution 1024x600

The RAM and SSD are my upgrades to the original equipment.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer.

Hello All,

I've been using Linux as primary operating system since 1999. I have just installed Lite 2.2 Why I have not done it before??? Great distro. It is a distro I definitely would recommend, also for those who use Windows XP

Keep up the great work, you've made an excellent distro! The LTS factor is much appreciated. Thanks

I just installed Lite 2.2, great distro. Are there plans to translate specific Lite software for other languages on Transifex https://www.transifex.com/

I have 5 years experience in translating from English to Danish. I would love to translate Linux Lite from English to Danish

The latest project I have translated into Danish is Deepin http://linuxdeepin.com/index.en.html And which I still maintain.

Screenshots:













Both of these iso's come in at around 740mb, this means that we are no longer able to fit onto CD. After careful discussion with the community, the overall feeling was that what we offered people in terms of software and function was of greater importance than fitting on a certain media size.

Live USB/DVD/VirtualBox/Vmware: Login is automatic, no credentials required.
The image can be written to a 2gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD.
Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-2.2-xxbit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick.
In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar.
Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.

There is no upgrade process from one Linux Lite version to the next because of all the in-between modifications. All Ubuntu 32bit kernels these days ship with PAE.

Recommended Hardware/Minimal System requirements:

700 MHz processor+
512 MB RAM+
5 GB of hard-drive space+
VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
Either a DVD drive or a USB port for the iso

Login to the live desktop is automatic.
The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.

Thank you to Misko_2083 and gold_finger for their code contributions and to members of the community for their suggestions and ideas.

I noticed by default volume buttons are not set in 2.2. Perhaps this would be beneficial to new users of LL?

XF86AudioRaiseVolume set to amixer set Master 5%+ unmute
XF86AudioLowerVolume set to amixer set Master 5%- unmute
XF86AudioMute set to amixer set Master toggle

I don't have media keys on my keyboard but I could see that being useful out of the box.
