Apologies for posting this here.  Not sure where else to post
  A popup of pettocus.info has started doing the rounds on android phones.It appears to be a redirecting malware.  It gave a false virus infection warning requiring immediate updating of android.  If this link was clicked presume some code was downloaded to the phones phishing etc.
In a family members case, it is unlikely that the phone has been previously backed up  so all  stored data address books photos etc are only on the phone and would be st if doing a factory had reset so.

QUESTION.  If the phone date is now backed up to an externally plugged in hard drive or usb of sufficient space. and then the backed up data were to be scanned on my LL laptop, what could/should I use to vigorously scan it to ensure it is clean and will not recontaminate a freshly reset phone?
Thanks

I'm running 32bit Linux Lite on a 10-year-old laptop. Not sure why I chose the 32bit installation - it was some time ago and not important for my purposes back then - but I'm now trying to get more performance out of the machine.

I've just upgraded the RAM from 2 to 4GB, and am now wondering whether I should upgrade the OS to the 64bit version, which poses a couple of questions:

• Is a 64bit upgrade likely to make much difference to performance (for example to better exploit the RAM upgrade)?
  
• Is there an easy way of upgrading, rather than starting from scratch? (as a relative Linux novice I'd rather take an easy option)
  

Here is a quick tutorial on how to configure x11vnc (VNC Server) for remote access/control to your Linux Lite 3.x PC via VNC client. (please consider adding it to Lite Manual)

A 30 seconds setup:

• Start by installing x11vnc. From Terminal:
  
  

• Next, let’s create a directory to store a file that will contain the password used for VNC authentication:

• And… well, create an encrypted password file and save it in /etc/x11vnc/. You will be prompted to type and verify the password:

• Now we will create the systemd service file for the x11vnc service:

Quote:[Unit]
Description=VNC Server for X11
Requires=display-manager.service
After=display-manager.service
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -dontdisconnect -auth guess -forever -shared -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc/vncpwd -rfbport 5900 -bg -o /var/log/x11vnc.log
ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall x11vnc
Restart=on-failure
Restart-sec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

• Next, let’s edit /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target

Requires=multi-user.target
Wants=display-manager.service x11vnc.service
Conflicts=rescue.service rescue.target
After=multi-user.target rescue.service rescue.target display-manager.service
AllowIsolate=yes

• Reload services and enable the x11vnc service at boot time:

• Finally, either reboot Linux Lite or manually start x11vnc service:

This was the output today, from the terminal, when I typed get-iplayer.
I have version 2.94.

Interested to hear the communities thoughts on this application. One application that handles both email and all the popular messaging apps.





Rambox is a free messaging and emailing app created using Electron which is composed of various popular web applications to provide users with the ability to add as many web services as are supported in the same place and to use multiple accounts by way of duplicate apps.

Rambox is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac and at the moment, supports 73 web services including WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber, Telegram, Google Hangouts, Gmail, etc., and users are welcome to manually add services that aren’t bundled in the latest shipment.

It has a simple bright interface with a tabs bar at the top of its UI to which added apps can be aligned either to the left or to the right. It comes with a handful of customization options including show notifications, mute all sounds, display read counter.

Features in Rambox

    Unity notifications for added web services with desktop notification support
    Account synchronization across multiple computers
    Master password
    Menu access from the system tray
    Ability to manually add services of your choice
    Proxy configuration support to bypass network censorship
    Notification count on icons of individual services
    Support for the addition of custom code
    Reorder icons in the tab bar and group services into two
    Long term support (as far back as Ubuntu 12.04)

Linux Lite Updates couldn't fetch the package cache information lists.

Cannot check for updates!

I recently changed from Linux Mint to Linux Lite, installing from a 3.0 CD/DVD I had lying around. I installed it and did the updates and upgrade, so I now have LL 3.2. That's not the problem.

The problem I'm having is that I get the XFCE desktop and panel. I want to get the Linux Lite desktop and panel (like I saw on the desktop when I did the initial install). I'm not seeing the option on how to do that in any of the menus (or I saw it and didn't recognize it).

Help please.

I've tried to update software, but Linux answers that I've not the rights to update the software.

Good afternoon

I have a problem with Deluge. I got it. I downloaded a couple of things and now it gives me error in all the files that I put. What happen?

Thank you
