Hello,

here is a function for making random passwords. It works for the session you are in, and will need re-adding in a new session, eg you can close and open terminal and randpw will work but if you reboot you need to re-add the function.

Just a thank you.  Upgrade to 3,8 was flawless.

[size=1em]Hello, I'm new to this forum, but have been using linux for about 2 years. The pentium 2.4, 2gb ram computer i was using had a graphics card that wouldn't work with linux. this set me on wondering what linux os could run on this size computer (there seem to be a lot of these around still), and still have long term support, the large deb repository, a full featured desktop like mint and noticeable security (having to get root permission to enter other partitions). Linux lite is the best ubuntu based os so far.
Linux mint was to much of a strain on the cpu and ram, peppermint is the fastest so far (lighter file manage & settings) with lite coming in for a very close second. The settings and desktop in lite seem to be a lot like mint. Xfce is the best middle of the road desktop for me.
I spent the first year learning how to maintain linux and the best packages for the job. The second year was spent learning the installed and available productivity software.

Presenting Linux Lite 3.8 Final



LibreOffice - We've added a Thesaurus (Synonyms) to LibreOffice for the US language.

I loaded Linux Lite 3.6 64 Bit by following the online instructions (running the 'Install Linux Lite' on my desktop from the DVD, finally getting past the 'No bootable device- -insert boot disk and press any key' error.
My 500 GB hard drive was unmounted. After getting the message to reboot, my system froze to a black screen. Had to power off/on to start Linux from DVD again. I mounted my 500GB hard drive to /media/disk1, rebooted again and got the error 'No OS Found. Insert 0S setup disk, then press any Key.'
The screen went black, I put the DVD back into the CD drive, waited 2 minutes, then Linux came up without the Install Linux Lite icon. I did a shutdown, turned on my netbook, selected Boot from first hard disk and got message: Selected 'Boot from first local disk' and got the error 'Boot failed: press key to retry'. I booted from the DVD again, chose the 'Enter Linux Lite' option, shutdown my session, removed the DVD from the CD drive. Booted up from without the DVD and got the error  'No OS Found. Insert 0S setup disk, then press any Key.' Linux will only launch from the DVD. Please let me know if you want me to send any reports to look at this further. How do I get the Linux OS loaded on my hard drive?

Greetings,

I'm trying to install Lite 3.6 on a Dell Inspiron 11 3162.  This is a fanless laptop (cheap) with a Celeron n3050, 2gb RAM and 32g MMC "hard" drive.  Install works perfectly and detects the MMC drive just fine but after install is complete the bios reports "no boot device found".

It IS set to LEGACY in the BIOS with Secure Boot OFF.

I've tried both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Lite but I'd prefer the 32-bit on this 2gb laptop.

TIA,

I'm trying to change the swappiness on an older computer from 60 to 10 and have always followed the following article section 1.1:https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/3

However, this particular computer I upgraded to LL 3.6 and when I cut and paste the get leafpad line it says it is already updated and hence no file appears into which I can cut and paste the next line in the following step.

Is someone able to give me the steps to reduce swapiness to 10 given that this computer is running LL 3.6?

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I know next to nothing about computers, but am trying to Install Linux Lite on an old msi wind notebook. Below is the error log text. Many thanks f6r any help!

Heya,

I installed Linux Lite on a bunch of PC, except my main gaming rig.
My Windows 7 is giving me headaches with unexplained .5 seconds slowdowns every few seconds so I'm gonna go dual boot Linux Lite on it.
I only had LL in virtual on this one until now but my main concern is that I have a really nice sound card called an Asus Xonar Essence XTS (audiophile card) and I'm not sure if it will work 100%
or have all the the Hi-Fi specs available in Linux. For example, I can change the output from 32 to 250 Ohms depending on my headphones.

Anyone has experience with this card in Linux?

Cheers!

I have finally managed to download Irfan View and moved its files into one folder on my desktop. Now is there any way to get it accepted into My Applications so that it will, for example, show up in the list of applications when I right click on a scanned image?  Please, note that I am very new to all this, just floundering my way through Linux Lite.
