Hi All.

Has anyone had good (or not) results installing LL to a Dell D430 laptop?

Hello all,

I need a little bit of help and advice. My mom recently bought a printer.  The Canon PIXMA MG2520. My googlefu skills haven't been the best, I admit, and I can't find anything related to this printer. It's an all-in-one printer so it also has a scanner/copier. I'm not too concerned about that.

I just need to get the printer working. So if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Hello All,

My name is Lou Gagliardi and I am new to Linux Lite but far not used to Linux.

I was looking for a simple, easy to use and lightweight distro. I found it. I share a computer with my mother, so it was important for her to have ease of use--and Linux Lite is it.

I look forward to chatting with all of you and getting problems fixed and fixing problems.

Hey
    I have this Acer Aspire 3000 that I have had for 5 years or more. It has an issue with the cooling fan. It is plain NOISY, Rattles and all kinds of stuff. It seems to cool ok but the fan is just crazy noisy. I have replaced the fan once already and that cost me a lot. Is there anything one can do to minimize the noise on this models fan? Anything would be helpful. I have another set of cooling fans underneath it that cost me 10 buck but even they are starting to make some noise.
Help!!

I would love to see this ability built into Linux Lite. When I use my iMac it does exactly what I need it to do by just typing the Windows key and the spacebar, I can quickly find what I need not only on my internal HD but also my external drives.When I type in for example Miles Davis, it not only brings up the files containing the name Miles Davis but also documents including pdf documents that include the text miles davis. This is very important to me because I need to have this kind of search functionality. I realize that the search option on the Mac (Spotlight) indexes the drives I need it to and bases the search on the constantly updated indexes.

If there is a way to do this in LinuxLite, that would be awesome. I have Catfish installed but maybe I'm not using it properly. I don't want to have to select the folder or drive I want to search. I just want to type in what I am looking for and have a list of everything it has found. If I can do this in Linuxlite than I really have no reason to keep my aging (2006) iMac.

Should I post this in one of the help forums as well?

I am trying to create a launcher on the desktop that will execute an rsync command when I double-click it. I created the launcher and filled it out with the following entries:

Description: Backup Home Directory
Command: rsync -avr ...
Working Directory: /home/steele
Comment: Backup Home Directory
Options: Use startup notification: checked
            Run in terminal: checked

I expected it to open a terminal session, then execute the rsync command in that session.

When I double-click the launcher, nothing happens (I checked the target of the rsync and a file was not there that should have been copied). I created another one with "echo Hello" as the command and couldn't see anything happening with that either.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

After trying several distros, I always ran into some kind of problem or felt that there was something missing in the distro. I decided to come back to Linux Lite mainly because I installed it on my wife's computer some time ago and judging from her valuable feedback, it just works and makes sense for a linux newbie like my wife.

So far after installing the 64bit version of Linuxlite 2.0, I have Samba and my fstab file working. So, I am pretty happy!

I have just been working on creating a /mnt/DATA partition (NTFS formatted) that I can use to share files between Win 7 and LL2 on a dual-boot system. Gold_finger gave me some very helpful and detailed guidance on this during August.

I have just created an upstart job named "bind-home.conf" to enable me to bind subdirectories in a separate /mnt/DATA partition to LL2's home directory.  I appear to have made a mistake, as I appear unable to boot up properly in LL2 (in hangs indefinitely at the screen with the feather). So, then I used a live CD to enable me to make changes to the bind-home.conf  file and hopefully fix the problem.  I was able to open the file,  where I had indeed made some careless typos. Then I edited the file, making the necessary corrections, but then  was not allowed to save the changes.  Can I log with my administrator rights when using a live CD? How do I do this?  Presumably, that would allow me to then save the corrections I wish to make and then hopefully allow LL2 to reboot normally, once again.

Many thanks for any help on this one.  I am a linux newbie (from MS Windows in April 2014) and am groping around in the dark at the moment
with this problem.

Regards
Mike

When running Linux Lite Updates, who is the recommender to do updates or not?

If it is someone from the Linux Lite Team, I feel perfectly comfortable to install or not as recommended. If the recommendation is from Ubuntu, I am not so sure. I screwed up once by not know who the recommender was by not taking the default recommendation and would not like to do that again.
