Hello All,

I was looking at pcmanfm file manger to replace Thunar.
But I noticed it wants to install a significant number of packages.
Is this going to bloat LL2 for the sake of having a new file manager.

Thanks
David

Is this possible?
I switched from Ubuntu 14.04 and I don't see the drop down to switch desktop environments like how it is on the login screen for Ubuntu.

i found this site www.fixbuntu.com which claims that by default ubuntu logs all application and file searches and sends it to third parties. this is concerning to me because i left xp thinking i would find more security with linux and this seems over the top even for windows. the website has a command you can run in terminal to fix this problem.

does anyone know if this applys to linux lite and if it can also be stopped by running their command?  ???

i find this kind of troubleing because it kind of took the idea away from me that this is a more secure and private os than xp and to me this just sounds completely like something facebook or google would build into their systems...

please help, i'm affraid to run the command because this operating systen is not identical to ubutu and would like this and any other spyware stopped. i was under the oppression that built in spyware was kind of what linux was not about in general, are their other 'features'  like this that they do not share with their users? or is this the catch of having free open source software?  :-\  :'(

A few recorders, for instance QARecord of KWavedit don't record. I used QARecord rather frequently in Xubuntu 12.04.
I noticed that it doesn't work in Xubuntu 14.04, Mint 17, PCLOS and so also not in Linux Lite.

Audacity, MhWaveedit and Streamtuner are doing great.
Pulseaudio functioning good, but the lay-out of (Gnome-)Alsamixer is different than in the other distro's. Can I do something to correct it? And what could be the reason?

Hello, All!

With my finally having the spare time to write up and to test this fix, here it is. Let me begin by giving credit where credit is due:

Wirezfree, for the link to the Plugable page containing the Broadcom BCM20702A0 Bluetooth fix:

Plugable, for posting the BCM20702A0 firmware fix on their website:

colin23erk, for providing references to the key pieces in solving this problem, and to those who posted the solutions below.

NOTE: This has been tested on the Targus AC10US1, but does not work on some of the newer Broadcom adapters. It also doesn't work on the Intel integrated WiFi/Bluetooth internal cards in certain HP laptops. The good news is that all this 'works like a champ' on the super cheap USB Bluetooth adapters available on Amazon or eBay!

Here goes:

1. Modify the file /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file:

Hi there.
I am new to Linux, but have successfully loaded 64bit Linux lite. After installation plugged in Canon i9950 printer and lite found my printer (amazing in itself, windows never has) and installed automatically.
However, when i print a page, ie a test page or image, the image is not fitting the page, even if i select fit to page .
Also, it tends to stop half way through the print, indicating analyzing, for very long periods, a half hour or more. It does complete the print if i shutdown then restart.
I have since found out that the developer of Linux Lite recommends the 32bit version. Is it worthwhile downloading this version and replacing, or is this something that cant be fixed, or maybe need to replace printer? It works fine in Windows so i Know printer not the problem.
Other than this hiccup I am finding this distribution awesome and really intuitive.

By accident I removed my battery status icon from the taskbar. I don't see how to get it back I was trying to fix my icons with the separator and I took out that icon by mistake. I downloaded another battery status icon called wmbattery but even that I have no idea where it is after I downloaded it or how to add it to my taskbar?  :-[

I love open software.
The last ten years I used PCLOS, (XKLU)buntu, Mint, and I tested others.
I did built little computers in that time the Pet existed, I used Atari ST and Falcon
and I used Windows 95 and ME before Linux. I did program al lot with GFA-basic of
Ostrowski and contiued it some time in emulation on a pc.

Linux Lite is very, very good, fresh, sparky, stable. And so much updating the good
Xubuntu 12.04 needed in the beginning, so little problems Lite gives.
(A problem with FF was quickly overcome and something with desktop-icons will
be right.)

Now Linux Lite will be  my day-to-day OS on a partition for some years. 

Looking to move to Linux for sometime and saw Spatry & MM's youtube video on Linux light. After having several problems on initial load. I re-watched spatry's tutoral and noted the second time that He pointed out a particular person recommended the 32 bit version even if you are 64 bit. I am okay with that.. it is just when I plug in my 16GB USB driver I get failure message. "Failed to initializing gstreamer transcoder." "An error occurred setting gstreamer up" Other problems were setting up Netflix and I set wine up and typed in the three lines of code suggested on youtube.. it appeared but I would get an error message use and more up to date browser or IE  with sliverlight which I thought I downloaded. Final problem was VLC media player Never had problems in windows using it. But playing any typical DVD at about 1:08 into movie the Audio crashes and at 2:15 the video crashes. If it would be smarter to load the 32 bit version I am okay with that. but I can not get USB drive to work. With the error messages I got loading it I thought that maybe it was a loading error so I reloaded it 45 mins ago. Still the same thing with the USB and the VCL player. . so I am back to square one and no Wine installed with any of the other things. No drivers appear to need to be up dated. Even if the 32 bit system is better for I will happily change over just please help me at least get this USB working so I can down load and up load the 32 bit version.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for help on how to change my laptops hostname.

For some reason it's got the same hostname as my netbook which also has linux lite; I installed it on both of them at the same time.

Thank's in advance for your help.
