I'm Shrugoglogist on the old forum at the Linux Distro Community.  I distrohopped until I tried Linux Lite in November 1, 2013 and have been rocking it ever since.

http://vlcsrposplugin.sourceforge.net/

You will need gawk, build-essential, libvlccore-dev , and libvlc-dev installed before you try this.
I will show a command line install since that is how I roll. gawk should already be installed in Linux-Lite but it does not hurt to check in synaptic before you start. There is no gui way to install this other plugin since it is not in ubuntu repos yet.

Hello,
I have done a forum search and didn't find anything about this.
XMBC are changing its name to Kodi.

Quote:"The XBMC Foundation has elected to wholesale adopt the policies of the Mozilla Foundation with regards to distribution and trademark licensing"

Just wondering if anyone has encountered the same couple of issues that I have when restarting from Suspend mode,- viz

1. My mouse will not operate on right click unless I go into Settings->Mouse & Keyboard and pe-set to Default Settings.

2. Likewise after resuming from Suspend, I have to manually activate my  Wi-fi connection.

Hello,
I have been given a computer by my brother, it did have xp pro, if I can get it working it will be my better spec LL machine than my current one which is very old pc (15 years) and I am unable to do all the things I want on it due to its age.
This one is a Medion AMD 64, it has a pci-e graphics so that is newer than the P4 and pci legacy of the current machine.

I am unsure what he done to the OS, it arrived and would not boot.
Initially he said he wanted me to get some photos and spreadsheets off it and if I could then I could keep the computer.
What I have tried -
I used Kapersky recovery disc, this booted but then crashed.
Hiren would not boot at all, or Knoppix. The disc spins and this is all.
I then tried SATA to usb to find the files on another pc, it finds the hdd when attached to another pc, it says the contents are 0 bytes and produces a message saying the drive is not formatted and asks if I want to format it.

After this I returned it to him out of ideas to recover his files, he now says I can still keep the computer without having to recover the files. He has another computer, and the children use tablets.

I put the Linux Lite disc in and it booted to the desktop, then froze and I used the power switch to turn it off.
Now the screen remains black and the monitor light is red, so the monitor is not detecting the pc is attached to it.
I have also tried an alternative graphics card (out of this pc) in case this was faulty.
I have also removed and reseated the ram modules.

When switched on the power button lights up and stays on unless pressed/held to turn off, all fans spin up, pc not detected by monitor.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to try next, to get it to the stage I am able to get the monitor to realize it is attached and am able to begin instal of LL ?

I am a semi-retired computer consultant (mainly fixing local computer and Internet problems) and both a heavy user and promoter of FOSS. Linux (mainly Ubuntu flavours) has been my main system for years. I use it for office functions and desk top publishing (for our village magazine) as well as for client computer trouble shooting. I am not very keen on the Ubuntu Unity interface and tend to either install LXDE on top or go straight to Lubuntu. I like Lubuntu but always ditch Abiword due to problems with some documents and install LibreOffice (not perfect but neither is the M$ equivalent!). Linux Lite seems to fit the bill in terms of interface and default programs so I am trying out on my wife (as a replacement for XP) first!

I do use Raspberry Pi hardware for serving websites and for our domestic NAS, both based on Raspian. LL for Raspberry Pi, anyone?

Hi I'm Mark. I've been using linux lite for more than a year now and I love it. I convince my friend to use linux lite. In the installer we can't boot into normal so we tried safe mode. It works. After installing he has now dual boot linuxlite and windows crap. The problem is that when we boot into linuxlite the only thing we see is blank screen.Thanks.

Hello,
I notice in Linux Format about the new National Curriculum that has begun this year, this week in fact, for 5-16yo in the UK.
During their schooling this new generation will now be using Linux, Scratch, Python, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and more.

So my thought is for some of the software they may use most often in the new curriculum to be considered for adding to a future release of the add software.

There may be a wave of people looking to revive that xp computer with LL and have a machine they can use to continue work on projects at home.
