Like a few of you, I have tried to dual boot LL 2.0 with other closely related distros, i.e. based on the Ubuntu 14.04 - when I choose LL 2.0 from the choice presented on the screen at boot-up, I get an error message that says "a filename was expected". In contrast, the previous LL 1.0.8 version does dual boot smoothly with other distros. Apparently, from reading elsewhere on this forum, it appears the problem has arisen from version 2 being adapted to dual boot more smoothly with Windows 7 or XP which has consequently made it incompatible with dual boots with other distros. Personally, I prefer running XP or Win 7 in a virtual machine, rather than dual booting because (1) it's quicker (I don't have to reboot in order to change the OS), and (2) I have been able to share files using a network link between the linux host and the MS Windows guest.

I am a newbie to Linux (post Win XP) though am becoming increasingly familiar with the use of basic command line in the terminal. I wondered if  someone could give myself and other newbies easy step-by-step instructions on how to modify the relevant root files or other files in LL 2.0 so that it is compatible with other Ubuntu 14.04 based distros in a dual boot situation.  Would it be possible to do this before you pull the plug on LL 1.0.8 support in the next few days?  I would be so grateful to anyone able to do this... 

Kind regards
Mike

Hi all,

I've been trying to get the windows to tile and have that snap effect so that i can have two windows side by side. This feature is available in every other xfce distro like xubuntu, linux mint xfce, etc. Wondering why it does not work in LL and how to fix it. Here is a video on this too for xubuntu-

This might be usefull for those with small screens.
If you follow this tutorial you can setup a virtual screen that is bigger than your physical screen.
So, it's like you have a zoomed in screen and you move from one corner to another when you position your mouse to the screen edge.
First test your display screen size, device, available resolutions and refresh rates.

Importanton't use resolutions or refresh rates your monitor don't support for your physical screen!

I just wanted to recognize some of the AMAZING people we have around here.

It's not my style to thank people individually because I'm afraid I would miss someone out, or make the lesser contributors sound less important, which they are far from.

So from me Jerry, thank you to all the people that are helping others out here, it's incredible to witness and makes every hour spent developing this OS well worth the effort. Your etiquette, demeanor and level of plain-english-detail in your replies does not go unnoticed.  You know who your are...

I'm re-arranging the Main Menu (Alt+F2 - alacarte) and by mistake deleted all Help icons. I'm not sure if those icons are just links to the Help web page or to a file on the hard drive. If it's a file then I would appreciate if someone could post the command. Thanks.

Hi
I am using a Netbook with 1024 x 600 screen

I am trying to Export a Gimp File in JPG

The Export Dialogue Window pops up OK but is not all visible on the screen . I cannot get at any of the buttons or the top of the Window to exit . I want to be able to move the window to a better location

I believe there are Keyboard shortcuts in xfce  but have had no luck getting any to work . Do they need installing or should they work out of the box . what shortcuts do I need to use

Colin

Dear Team,

When i updated the LL through install update, it asks for some of the options as shown in this attachment. What should a user do. Can we not avoid such dialogues and the updater takes care by itself as this will be a hindrance for the new users to0 adopt the LL or there should be a provision to give instructions to user what options to choose while update at the beginning of the update.
