The vulnerability - CVE-2017-7494 - affects versions 3.5 (released March 1, 2010) and onwards of Samba, the defacto standard for providing Windows-based file and print services on Unix and Linux systems.

Hi forum.

This is just a minor thing, but so far (on other distros and windows too) I'm used to just press enter key after entering the password. But Linux Lite doesn't respond to Enter key.

I have being looking into the Light Locker Settings menu, but could not find any setting for that particular issue.

Is it possible to choose another variant of login screen in Linux Lite, or perhaps some tweak to make the Enter button to work?

Thanks in advance

I used Save Session on exit and logged out. Then I logged back in. Cannot find any way to restore the session nor anything in Help Manual.


Some threads online say this is no longer possible with 16.04. And yet there is a menu item in Lite Tweaks to 'Manage Save Session'. I opened that but already have the default option activated and didn't change anything. (enable save session for all users)


Please advise; thank you.

I got a TP-Link AC450 Model no. Archer T1U
I have been searching to get it working on Linux Lite 3.4 but up till now no luck.
Can anyone give me a hand on how to get it working? Or isnt it going to work on Linux Lite?

Thanks for the helping hands.

We had an issue with the Forums today, as a result some posts will have been lost. We apologize for this. We have daily backups so the Forums were simply restored to the most recent backup.

When I plug in an SD card (actually a micro SD card in an SD card holder) from my camera into the built-in reader on my laptop, the drive is listed (as 'Generic- xD/SDMMC/MS/Pro'), but the card can't be mounted.

If I plug it into a USB card reader then it works no problem. It I plug it into an adapter and then into my Android phone, no problem. It's also accessible on other machines running Windows - and, of course, on my camera.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be welcome.

Hi.

I just had great success installing Linux Lite 3.4 32 bit on a old Toshiba Satelite laptop.

I want to be able to share folders between this computer and two computers that runs Windows 7 home premium. The large question is how do I make this happens - what steps to take? I'm still quite new to Linux, have installed Linux Mint, mate on another computer so I doesn't consider myself absolutely blank on Linux.

So far I've found this guide that I try to follow: https://www.howtogeek.com/176471/how-to-...and-linux/
But when it comes to where I tries to run the sudo mount.cifs command, the command display "could not resolve address for <computer name>: Unknown error>.
Is there something missing in that tutorial?


The smaller question I have, after experience some similar problems with Mint, but not quite same setup.
Q1: Is Samba installed and service running on Linux Lite out of the box, or do it need to be installed? I cannot find a command to quicly test wheter samba is installed/running or not - "rpm -q samba" doesn't work (it tells me that "rpm" needs to be installed.

Q2: The user profile on both Windows 10 computers has blank password. There is some in Mint forum saying that Linux may have problems with network shares that haven't password on the user. Is this the case?This guide doesn't mention any problems.

Q3: I've also read that there might be problems when Windows computers have dynamic IP. Is that true?


Thanks in advance

So I found this article:

It says I need to install winbind, here we go [c]sudo apt-get install winbind[/c]

Hi folks. This is my first post on this forum, so I feel quite funny about posting in this forum.

Anyway, this is the very first time I log in to the forum so I cannot say if that message will be around next time after I log off.

I see links at the top of the page for Twitter, Google+, and Facebook, but not for the ever-increasingly popular Diaspora platform.  I have been bragging about LL there for a little bit, but it would be cool if LL had an "official Diaspora page" just as you (probably) do on the others.  On several of the servers (called "pods") you can link posts to the other networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, etc.

You could reach a lot more people, I think, since Facebook and Twitter are getting not a little creepy in their privacy policies and stuff, scaring users away to privacy-respecting FOSS / federated networks like Diaspora.
