Hello, I love Linux Lite a lot, but unfortunately Kodi is not working well for me on this OS. It is working flawlessly on Debian Jessie on the same computer. I tried version 15.2 of Kodi from the lite software, the 17 and 16.1, but all have the same issue with some addons, mainly Sports Devil and Pro Sports. Error messages using these addons or kodi crashing. It's a deal breaker for me if there's no solution, I'll have to go back to Debian Jessie. Can someone help me?

Thinking about this today & got a little curious about something. The last 2 remaining supported distro's from Linux Lite Series One are 1.0.6, & 1.0.8. As next month is April, 2017 & Linux Lite Series One was based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, does anyone know what day in April the OS reaches end of life? Jerry usually releases his distro's on the 1st, so I'm wondering if they reach EOL on the 1st? Just for the record, Ubuntu 12.04 reaches EOL on April 26th. I booted up 1.0.6 on a USB flash drive to see if the information was there. I was hoping entering 'ubuntu-support-status' in terminal would help. Got some real interesting information, just not what I was looking for. I was surprised to see that a small percentage of the OS is supported until 2018. Not the whole OS, just part. It was a great series, sorry to see it go.

I installed LL 3.2 on a couple of units, and for a change I set the user to log in automatically. But now every time I open Chromium I get queried for the keyring password. I've read that this is because the manual log in satisfies that requirement, but the automatic does not. So now I'm looking for how to change the log in to manual, but so far I haven't found it. Any light would be appreciated.

Hello,

I am currently volunteering for a charity which refurbishes computers for sale as well as recycling unusable parts. As part of the service, we tend to install Linux on machines we sell, and we've found that Linux Lite is an excellent choice, both due to it's ease of use and it's attractive yet lightweight desktop environment, suitable for older hardware.

So far, we've been installing systems with a default username and password, and providing customers with instructions on how to change the details themselves when they get the computer home. Ideally what I’d like to implement is a system where, upon the first start up post install, the computer will ask them for their desired username and password, bypassing the need for them to change it themselves.

I know that some distros offer an OEM install solution which sounds like what I’m after. Does Linux Lite offer, or plan to offer, anything similar?

Congrats again on an excellent distro for beginners, and on your slick modifications to XFCE.

An introductory post-script:

One of the things I like about linux is it's maleability. You can make of it what you will.

And there is so much eye candy... Most of my recent activity has been motivated by my love of that eye candy - which, alas, knows no shame. And yes, I'm a packrat. I have accumulated a large collection of window, border, and icon themes to go with my wallpapers and boot splashes. Some of them I've tweaked and some of them I created.

Such a collection (I refer to it as 'my baggage') becomes a liability every time I indulge a fresh install. Multiply that by the number of computers in the household and I've got a bit of a chore to add my baggage to every one of them (of course!). Although the number of computers diminished from nine to four, the motivation to automate post-installs was still strong. With a fledgling knowledge of bash and with a few linux books and the internet by my side, I launched a lengthy experiment to see if I could build an ISO that would yield a working out-of-the-box installation - distro, my baggage, and all. I have had some success...

Unfortunately, as linux evolves, it is becoming quite a challenge to sustain a collection of beloved older themes. This presents me with a dilemma because I am reluctant to part with any of them. They're my toys. I select from them just as I do shirt, trousers, shoes, and tie. It's about choice and I've made it easy for myself.

It is only in the spirit of show-and-tell that I invite any interested person to check out my post-install LL transformation modifications by googling 'someubuntufreebies'.

Although everyone is inclined to tweak a fresh install with their own personal preferences, some might say that I got a little carried away with mine. But then linux is supposed to be fun. Right?

Unfortunately, I lack the skills to do more elegantly what I've done. And there are still a few theme flaws to fix someday. But I am generally pleased with the results. I drive it every day.

Hi Folks,

I'm pretty new to Linux and know very little... I'd like to create a portable installation on a USB stick with a ability to boot to it from a variety of computers.  I know a live installation would be best for this but I'd prefer to do a regular installation.  Is it reasonable to expect such an installation would be widely compatible with most modern computers I might want to use (e.g., hotel business centers, etc.)?  Does LL autodetect hardware and have a local driver repository so it can pull drivers in as it boots?  I'm not looking for support for anything beyond a functional desktop with keyboard, mouse, basic display and (sort of important) whatever printer might be attached.

Thanks!

I have this problem twice and i don't know what the problems is.
When i startup it go to (initramfs) busybox and how can i prevent this to happen in future.

Now i only fix this by
