Interesting little quirk in the behavior of the new widget. When I open up XFCE4 terminal, Logged in as: reads trinidadtrinidad in the widget. When I exit the terminal it reverts back to the single entry - trinidad. Does not do this with LX terminal, or ROX terminal, only XFCE4 terminal. Not sure why yet.

Wow just tried it again, opened three XFCE4 terminals and got: trinidadtrinidadtrinidadtrinidad.

Also does it with UX terminal, and X terminal. Tried changing defaults but makes no difference.

Hi
Yesterday I tested LINUX LITE on my 10 years old Acer laptop. It looked great and worked free of problems but after the installation I realized that the screen resolution is 640x480, I didnt find a way to change it.
Does anybody have a solution or an idea how to fix it?

I have installed Linux Lite 3.2 64-bit from a clean slate on my antiquated laptop (see my stats :-) ). All times are measured from the beginning of the boot from the LL3.2 USB drive.

26:42 - Full base install - installed to HD, first boot completed.

51:17 - Updates and Upgrade completed.

1:28:41 - EVERYTHING I need is installed - QupZilla, Pinta, Restricted Extras, DropBox, DropBox tray icon fix, and all the software, fonts, etc. for full Hebrew functionality in LibreOffice - plus all my desired tweaks (icons, windows, fonts etc.).

I have a work-ready laptop within an hour and a half! With very simple installation. In Windows 7, this process might take over 24 hours, most of which due to the horrible Windows Update system.

Yesterday I have installed 3.2 for the first time and today I've tried out the new widget.

Issues (see screenshot):

1) This is obviously Linux Lite 3.2 - as 3.0 lacks the widget - yet the widget shows "Linux Lite 3.0".

2) The Hebrew text in the date is in the wrong direction.

3) Not an issue, but I think it would be nifty to be able to launch the update tool directly from the widget's "update" part.

The first sentence in the second paragraph of the Welcome Screen text has some errors, mainly in punctuation.

Currently it reads:

"Linux Lite aims to provide each user with a basic collection of everyday tools, a web browser, email client, media player an Office suite an image editor and so on."

It should read:

"Linux Lite aims to provide each user with a basic collection of everyday tools: a web browser, an email client, a media player, an office suite, an image editor, and so on."

The most important changes are the colon after "tools" (signifying a list to follow), the addition of a comma after "media player", and adding consistency to the issue of whether to have an indefinite article ("a" /  "an") in front of each list item.

A bit more debatable is the question of whether to capitalize the word "office" - in the replacement text I provide above I removed it because the phrase "office suite" is not a proper noun the way "Microsoft Office" or "GNOME Office" is.  (LibreOffice is not a phrase, just a single word in camelcase.) 

More debatable (and in fact divisive among grammar nerds) is the issue of the serial comma: whether to have a comma after the second-to-last item in a list of three or more; the item just before the "and" (or sometimes "or").  The majority of official style guides (including MLA, Chicago Manual of Style, Strunk & White, and APA) say to include that comma, so I added it in my replacement text above (where it comes after "image editor").

While I can post suggestions, I don't know how actually to fix the Welcome Screen text myself, so I invite and request whoever can to do so.

After upgrading to LL 3.2 whenever i disconnect VGA cable in order to connect the TV screen ( through VGA connection ) the screen goes blank and i have to restart the computer. This never used to be a problem before, how can i fix this?

Hi all

I was trying to help a friend get rid of windows and install LL but i have encountered a problem. The laptop is a Toshiba with UEFI, i thought at first it will be easier to just install mint on it and all went alright till i saw what a mess it is ( can't believe i was using it just some 4 months back !).

On trying to install LL i chnaged from UEFI to CSM,i chose cd-rom as first boot choice and finally changed sata drivers(?) to AHCI mode. Tried installing LL and i see there is progress but the screen kept blinking right from start and i gave up after about 30 minutes. When i use a windows 7 cd it installs until it mentions something about automatically stopping the installation to prevent damage to my computer.

I need to also mention that the onboard keyboard is not working so i have to rely to an external keyboard and LL seems to have issues with that since i can not do F2 when booting. My question: What options do i have to install LL?

I saw Jerry has made available for a limited time LL that can me installed on UEFI machines. Can that be something worth trying? Thanks !

I have a laptop used both for work/study and as a media computer. When I use it as a media computer, I plug it to my TV so that I can watch KODI and various videos on the larger screen. Every time I connect it, I have to re-configure the display so that the TV will show the screen correctly while the laptop's screen will shut down. Is there a way to make Linux Lite save the display configuration so that it will work appropriately upon plugging the TV to my laptop without requiring additional configuration?

(Using Linux Lite 3.0, so with a upgraded Kernel, I think - I did "sudo apt-get upgrade" after 3.2 came out).

I'm working on some code that will count all http and torrent Linux Lite downloads. The end result is very simple, but the behind the scenes work will take some time to get it right and accurate. There is no way currently to include downloads from mirrors and 3rd party sites. This is a question I get a lot so I'm happy to include this information. Stats totals are from the beginning of LL, and are counted from Sourceforge.
