  Bluetooth and other unnecessary stuff
Posted by: crazysquirrel - 03-06-2017, 09:58 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

Most old laptops do not have bluetooth. You advertise that your OS is supposed to be geared toward them right? Then why have bluetooth and running when the laptop doesn't have it??
Haven't played with it much but I am sure there are other things.

  Printer icon missing?
Posted by: crazysquirrel - 03-06-2017, 09:56 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

I see no printer icon to add printers. Hardware driver search shows no printer drivers either. It is an old HP all in one. Don't have that laptop or printer with me.

  Default browser
Posted by: jim217 - 03-06-2017, 07:50 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (15)

I have both the Firefox and Vivaldi browsers installed.
I mostly use the Vivaldi browser.

Every time I start the Vivaldi browser, it says that
Vivaldi is not the default browser and I click the
'Set as Default' button to make it the default.

If I close Vivaldi and restart it, again it is not the
default browser. When I close Vivaldi and start
lite tweaks to set the default browser, lite tweaks
shows Vivaldi is already the default browser.

If I close Vivaldi after making it the default
browser, and then start Firefox, Firefox's
settings shows that Firefox is the default browser.

This does not happen in another pc using
Linux Mint 18.1 xfce, so there must be something
in Linux Lite that is causing the default browser
to revert back to Firefox after closing Vivaldi.

Anyone have any idea ?

Booted up Windows 10 last night to watch a movie on Netflix.

10 minutes into the film.....BSOD......Crashed.

Booted into Linuxlite 3.4 beta and enjoyed the rest of the movie.

Is Windows to remain a viable Operating System.....?.

  More than one computer
Posted by: Manuk - 03-06-2017, 01:19 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (3)

Image I've attached shows my four computers and how I managed to share one keyboard and mouse with a 4 in 1 USB switch.  This 4 in one switch is available at Monoprice, Amazon, and other places.  Should be fairly easy to find.

  Authentification for Firewall Config won't accept password.
Posted by: Thorin - 03-06-2017, 06:37 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (12)

Very new. Hope this is in the right place. Could not find the same problem elsewhere in forum. I have checked many times that I am putting password in correct and even copied and pasted. It says unsuccessful. What am I missing? Thought I would try resetting the password as per manual but I get two letters into my username and it types out a bunch before I can even finish. Password works eslewhere anyway. Completely new to linux. Thank you for any help.

  Hi. New at Everything.
Posted by: Thorin - 03-06-2017, 06:30 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (7)

I am hoping this is going to post in the right place. Not am I completely new to linux but new to forums. Not happy with how big Windows is getting and had a jammed up old little Sony Vaio that wasn't moving. I want to switch my main one too if this will work for me. Tried Puppy but couldn't install ExpressVPN which I am already paying for. Lite looks really good. I guess I will bring up my problem in the correct place once I work out where that is. Thanks for having me on board. Almost there I think.

Greetings from Canada

A brief(?) introduction...
My name is Boyd. The scope of my computing activity ranges from programming, beginning in the late sixties, the Olivetti P602, followed by the TI 52 & 59, the Commodore PET & C64, a VAX 11/730, and ultimately the ubiquitous PC, to building and deploying fifty-odd workstations by the year 2006.

My programming efforts - now fashionably called development - were all conducted as a means to significantly improve my productivity and that of my co-workers. From the early eighties until my retirement in 2006 I was involved with Microsoft operating systems.

After that I embraced Linux as my OS of choice and have been gradually forgetting the former and slowly learning the latter. Like many others, I have hopped from one distro to another, always looking for the subjectively perfect out-of-the-box distro experience. At this milestone, I consider Linux Lite to be that distro. I commend Jerry and all the others who have contributed to making it what it has become today. Lite is especially meritorious for seniors who can no longer justify an indulgence with proprietary software.

By now you will have deduced that I am of an elderly persuasion. I hold to the notion that problem solving - by stimulating the grey matter - helps to postpone nasties like alzheimer's and/or dementia. And certainly, if one endeavors to impose OS behavior that doesn't exist out-of-the-box, one will encounter problems. But, whatever your predilection, there is a wealth of assistance to be found on the Internet posted by many enthusiastic linux users who have resolved problems of their own and/or helped others with theirs. The Linux Lite forums are a good example.

Playing with linux is my primary hobby. There is always some new app or command to investigate, and another bash experiment to undertake. Here's to the morrow...

  A suggestion to have Compton installed
Posted by: torreydale - 03-06-2017, 02:19 AM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

I suggest having the Compton composite manager preinstalled, but allowing the user to select it in the Session and Startup > Application Autostart tab.  Or perhaps some other method for easy installation/activation could be implemented. 

Compton has helped me and others with screen tearing.  When I found out about it, I was more comfortable installing it on my own, but I'm sure I would have been hesitant as a new Linux user.

  Awesome Job you guys!!

I really like Linux Lite. I have been searching for months for the perfect distribution, and I have literally tried them ALL on distro watch. I finally have settled down with Linux Lite. I love that its made for beginners like me, and there are some even advanced features. One thing I would recommend is the use of UEFI. I was kind of shocked to discover it was still legacy, but I guess that is for older systems.
