...strange how simple ideas can turn into something respectable...here are some examples of filter and layer work with the gimp. Have no prior image editing experience so these are first attempts...found "ctrl z" is now a good friend of mine.

I just realized there's two kind of fonts active. How can i fix this?

Linuxlite-2.0

I want to have the drive icons in a horizontal position next to the panel
I tried drag and drop but they go back to the top of the screen

From the menu I tried to open lock screen to see if was locked
nothing happen when i click on the item

Searched all setting and cannot find how to move the drive icons
Any suggestions

Hello,

I installed Linux Lite yesterday and look forward to hopefully transitioning to Linux full time in the near future.  This is my very first experience with a Linux OS, and the process is somewhat daunting.  One of the main reasons for the transition is that I really like what I see in the Linux community, you guys and gals are amazing.  Consequently, I have become disappointed and frustrated with Microsoft and their business practices.  It is obviously time for me to make a change and support (YOU) and Linux.

My issue right now is software compatibility.  I am a Civil Engineer and have been using Bentley Microstation as my Civil Design software.  To my disappointment,  I telephoned Bentley and their software is not compatible with Linux.  So this will require a new software package to learn, on top of learning Linux.  I did find one CAD software company, BricsCAD, that supports Linux, however I can not find a third party Civil Design package that will run on Linux.    So.... what to do? 

It looks like I will have to continue using XP and Microstation until I can find a Civil Design Package that will run on Linux.  It is hard to believe that I am the only engineer facing this issue?  Surely other engineer want to utilize and support Linux and ditch Microsoft?    Time will tell..

Thank You!

engineer

My desktop:

I had this issue twice already, I did the updates and the system worked fine, I shutdown the laptop as I was traveling, when I restarted the laptop it did not recognize the wireless card, and yes I know it works since I dual boot this laptop and it worked just fine in Windows 7 and prior to the restart, so I looked in here and found that someone else had the same issue and reinstalled and did update and it worked fine after that, so I reinstalled lite 2.0, did the update and it now recognizes the wireless, used it for the day then shut down and when I restarted I again had no wireless connectivity, and it still worked for the Win7 boot, there has to be something in the updates that is breaking the boot or load of the wireless drivers. other than this issue I am happy with this distro, but if I have to reinstall after every time I update then I will not be using or recommending this ditro to other people. 

Hey,
    Seems I have an issue with my Broadcom on an Aspire 3000. I know there was one before and I have tried those solutions to no resolve. Two things that are happening.

1. the Wireless quit working on me when I did a reboot after the initial updates. I installed 2.0 and things were just fine. It even remembered the wireless password and auto connected when it rebooted into the fresh install.

I did my updates and all and then rebooted again. This time it did not start the wireless and could no longer see a wireless. I thought oh I must have hit the switch or something. So I hit the switch and nothing happened. So I rebooted again. Same result, no wireless.

So I came on here (which I was already on singing praise and all) and looked for wireless information issues, Found one with another Broadcom Wireless and tried those things. (as noted above) Nothing.
So here I am thinking... Alright it was working before the update. What was it using prior to the update. Would that be on the live CD? hmmm Better ask Valtam. So here I am.

2. I have noticed that when I shut down the system Or try to restart it. It takes the full length of the bar on the splash screen and then just sits there. I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds to shut it off....

Any Ideas?

Stupid Broadcom.....

Oh yeah I had also installed Play on Linux prior to this happening. Will that make a difference? I did not install anything though.

update:
I rebooted into the live usb I used for install and it works great as I suspected. So.... where do I get that driver?

I downloaded Linux Lite from the website "dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk". I burned the OS onto a DVD using Sonic. After trying to boot up using the DVD, I get  Linux Lite on the screen and its says it will automatically boot and it counts down from 10 seconds to 1 second and then I get a blank black screen with a white window inside of the black screen. I cannot get past this point. Any ideas what the problem may be. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm a new user of Linux Lite and liking it a lot, but I have a problem.
I'm using an old Acer Aspire 3630 laptop, very slow and outdated, but good enough for what I use it for, which is basically a media center, connected to a big TV and a 5.1 sound system.
Everything works just fine if playing mp3 files, using the internal cdrom drive, etc.
The problem is when I try to watch a movie from an external hard drive. The sound is completely of sync with the images.
I use SMPlayer.
Can some one help, please? :-[
