I have tried many versions of Linux over the years, having used Unix since the early '80's, but I really think that LinuxLite is exceptional. I run it on two small Netbooks, one an early Acer AspireOne with only 512mb RAM and a 8GB solid state drive, on which it performs brilliantly. This system came with a cut-down Linux called Linpus (RIP), and I have tried many small distros such as SliTaz, Puppy, DSL, EasyPeasy, Fuduntu, etc - all too basic or with other problems (I should exclude SliTaz from the last remark, as it runs well on a very old Acer laptop with less than 200mb RAM).
I know that it is a lot of work for you to maintain, but the lack of "bloat" in the system is worth it.
Thanks a lot for a great distro. I hope that you get lots of help, as I guess from the number of members of the forum that LinuxLite does not have, as yet, a large following. I will certainly recommend it to anyone.

More of a "heads-up" here than anything else.
Problem: On homepage of Linux Lite (specifically on https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/ and/or https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/index.html), none of the links to other pages were working. Had to type in the link addresses of other pages to get to them because links from homepage didn't work. Once on another page, the links from them to others worked fine -- it was only the homepage that had problems.
Have tracked down cause of mysterious problem to be things on the homepage being blocked by the Adblock Plus extension in Firefox web browser. Here are my Adblock settings:
![[Image: 1O1V3dRdCMsH]](https://ibin.co/1O1V3dRdCMsH)
And here are the items (in red) being blocked on the LL home page that cause all links on the page not to work:
![[Image: 1O1VJFJwJN0f]](https://ibin.co/1O1VJFJwJN0f)
It appears that something about the social media buttons for Facebook, Twitter, etc. being blocked is causing problems with all links on the page. I have not yet run into this problem on any other website. Here's what I see without Adblock:
![[Image: 1O63NCfBR8qM]](https://ibin.co/1O63NCfBR8qM)
And here is same area with Adblock:
![[Image: 1O63YRXAJtQr]](https://ibin.co/1O63YRXAJtQr)
I'm no expert in HTML programming, but it appears that blocking the buttons causes this script (which is NOT being blocked) to not work properly.
Code: <script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
On above screenshot showing blocked items in red, if I allow the 3rd, 4th, & 5th blocked items then the links on the homepage work again. Since none of the other pages on the LinuxLite website use the script and social media buttons, this problem does not happen on them.
So, the question to me is "why" does the malfunction of that script (caused by blocking social media buttons) affect ALL of the links on the page, rather than just the social media links?
Like I said, I'm no expert on this and am really just guessing. Maybe someone else here who knows more about HTML programming can look at the source code for the homepage and figure it out.
Anyway, if anyone else happens to have same problem, just disable those Adblock filters on the LL site or manually type in the link you want to go to -- eg. "http://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/support.html"

Hi All!!
I've been a member for a while, but I just hadn't had the opportunity to say hi until now...So a big Hi to all of you...
I know some of you are part of the linux distro community, and so am I. However, as a full time Linux Lite user I thought I should be more active on this forum. Also because I wanted to try the new 2.0...
Thanks everyone... see you around!
Cheers! 8)

Hi is there a way to make the mouse pointer show busy whilst opening an app like say firefox etc. My wife ends up trying to open numerous windows as she doesn't see pointer doing anything and assumes it hasn't started.

Hello, i have another question,
Using 2.0 beta, I installed google chrome, (and chromium to test as well) and i am trying to get the shows on http://abc.go.com/shows to play, but i get a error saying: Shockwave flash has crashed? i checked and chrome (and chromium) has the latest pepperflash installed, can anyone try this and confirm, is there a way to get the shows to play on abc.com and chrome (or chromium)? it works in winows and mac.
Also quicktime movies (not apple movie trailers) wont play in chrome or chromium either as in here:
http://www.apple.com/logic-pro/in-action/ Scroll down to:Nine inch nails take to the stage video, i get a message saying: Get quicktime?
Other than that everything is working great in beta 2.0, i am loving this OS, Thanks!
Tommy

Hello, Just installed 2.0 beta(and 1.0.8) and think its fantastic! Almost have everything working. ( this is on a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop.
Im trying to find a windows replacement for my sisters laptop, so far i have tried Zorin os and Linux Lite 1.0.8
So far i have everything working except: System sounds (ex - Start up and shut down sounds, minimize and maximize windows, log on, log off, error ect... )
i have enabled: Event sounds under appearance Settings, tried to install some Canberra Stuff? Still no system or event sounds?
So far i am loving this OS and think i can get some people to switch to it, just need to get it working as close to windows as possible, so if anyone could point me in the direction i would appreciate it.
I have done numerous google searches spent a few hours trying things and still no system sounds working
(all the other sounds work, youtube, music, video, etc...
Keep up the great work this Os is going to be awesome!
Thanks,
Tommy

| Home Directory - First Letter Uppercase |

Can $HOME be configured so the first letter is uppercase?
Thunar currently displays my home directory as:
scott - File Manager
I'm trying to configure things so Thunar displays my home directory as:
Scott - File Manager
The change is making the first letter in $HOME uppercase.
I've looked at file $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs but it's my understanding this only changes the folders *within* $HOME not $HOME itself.
