Looks like this could be handy for laptops and multi screen set ups.

Recently i installed Linux Lite 3.4 64bit on a friends laptop. Now she asked me to create a dual boot with OpenSuse Leap 42.2
She has a SSD which i can split into 2 partitions, one for Linux Lite and one for OPenSuse. At the moment the drive is one large partition, no home partition or swap partition.

Now the question is how to make sure that both systems do boot after OPenSuse is installed.

In recognizing the frustration of trying to find Linux compatible hardware, we've built an online store utilizing Amazon's huge range of products.
We've taken the guess work out of buying Linux compatible hardware.

This has taken a long time to put together, to research each piece of hardware to ensure plug-and-play compatibility with Linux.

The Store is located here:

http://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/buylinuxhardware.html



I understand this is not available in all countries but this is the best solution I can come up with, without purchasing a whole lot of stock.
Especially if you live in the USA, please consider using our Store rather than anywhere else. Purchases from the Store directly benefit Linux Lite.

Thank you for your support

I know this is operating system related.  I was able to do what I needed using the Live USB version of Linux Lite 3.4 64 bit.  I cannot create a folder on flash drives that are FAT formatted.  Last week I mistakenly downloaded and ran the 32 bit version of Etcher.  I ran the 64 bit version (the version I needed) afterwards, and things seemed ok.  Now it doesn't, and I cannot get any FAT formatted flashbacks drives to allow me to write to them.  The permissions say root is the owner, but when I try to change it via the terminal, it doesn't make the change.  I've even tried using older restore points to no avail.  When right clicking in Thunar within the flash drive's storage space, the Create Folder, Create Document, and Paste options are grayed out.

I think I need some help cleaning up whatever mounts to sdb because I also created an sdb1 and I think that's just made things more messy.

Hi, have I been doing something wrong, or is this a general issue? I have been trying to purchase 2 LinuxLite case badges, but when I try to add to cart, it then directs me to what seems to be the paypal website in a new window, but the problem is that the web page is blank.  :-\ I've tried from my laptop, desktop and cellphone and the same issue persists (wow, I must be really eager to purchase the badges!)

1. Is this a general known issue? It happens at the point that items are added to cart, before any payment info is asked for.
2. Have I been doing the steps correctly? I went to this page: https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/shop.html and selected 2 case badges and clicked on the blue "Add to cart" button. That's when I get the new window and blank screen. If I have been doing it wrong, please tell me.

It seems this issue is specific to stickers/badges. If I test out the process with a T-shirt or coffee mug instead, it seems to direct properly to an online store.

Thanks so much for any info anyone can provide.

Hello Everybody,

I have a little problem. I try to figure out, how it's go, but i failed. 

Summary:

I use google drive and want to synchronize my local folder with grive.
If I start the script manually, there is no problem. It runs.

Script:

TEST


to see if I get error 403 when trying to post.
I'm getting 403 when trying to post on thread in Lite AV & PM to Jerry

Logged on this morning. Here's what I found.
Increased size in panel and icons.
Mouse not working. Switched it out. Note:Mouse works ok on different laptop.
No internet. Claims No network devices available. I'm working from different laptop.
    Obviously can't update till connection issue resolved.

Hello,
  I just chose a different theme for pointer, the black theme; and shut the pc down. Later when I turned it on, the mouse-pointer theme was sort of mixed up. In some areas it would be white and in some, black.
  Is it just me, or is it a bug?
Thanks.

What is the smallest recommended partition size for a full install of Linux Lite 3.4 64?

This info is not readily available on linuxliteos website or google search, except for an outdated forum post from 2011, relating to older version.

Plan is multi-boot of about six distro's (the only ones I found that boot and run okay from a live session -- I want to try them all out to find a fav that will run well on a 10 year old HP dv8000 xp machine. 1.8 Ghz single core 64 bit amd cpu. Upgraded to 2 Gb RAM, new battery, and new lcd screen, so I want to make this work!) Laptop only boots from optical drive, no option for usb boot in bios. Also IDE drives, slow bus...So, Live sessions are a bit slow for bigger distro's, that's why I want to install to hard drives...Only have two 80 gb drives (2nd is in the mail, off eBay) so space is limited somewhat, mostly by Win 7 on a 44 Gb primary partition (smallest I could make it afterwards using Win DiskMgmt after clean install) - but no sound or card reader drivers exist, and it takes up so much space, so I may scrub Win 7 entirely. The Linux distros only seem to have a problem with wifi card, but I can fix that later or use a usb wifi on hand - tested and works.

I can fit all Linux distros on one drive w/out Win, or keep Win and put two or three of the larger distros on the 2nd drive along with data directories.
Or I could just keep Win and Linux on separate drives, for that matter.

Any suggestions for Linux newbie would be appreciated, I have learned a lot in the past week...

Thanks!
