Hi I have a Dell Lattitude D620 and just installed Linux Lite 3.0 When I put in my WiFi password it seems to connect out to the modem but says credentials are wrong. They aren’t wrong, so I am stumped. Seriously, I looked and looked and typed really slowly - the password is going in right. Any idea?

Two months ago, I remember responding to a frustrated Linux Lite 3.0 user who wrote, "no wonder LL has fallen down so much on distrowatch."  I looked today and noticed the following.  If you look at Distrowatch's Page Hit Ranking for the Last 6 months, and you removed the distros that have been around longer than 4 years, this is what you would get:

1) Ubuntu MATE
2) LXLE
3) Linux Lite

So on its 4th anniversary, Linux Lite is 3rd of the distros that have been around 4 years or less.

Cheers!

In order to get this printer working you need to go to

http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadt...340cdw_all

And follow the directions.

The first time I installed Linux Lite 3.0 those instructions didn't work at all.  However they did kinda work with Linux Lite 2.8.  I couldn't use the on board scanner though.  Couldn't scan directly to the computer.  Ended up taking Linux Lite 3.0 off the computer and putting something else on in place of it.  Yesterday I was doing some testing with a different hard drive and I went through the steps of installing Linux Lite 3.0 and updating it.  This time around I was able to get the brother instructions to work.  I haven't tested the scanner.

I was wondering if the driver to this printer could be added to Linux Lite so that we don't need to keep downloading it?

Kindly guide how to open .pptx files in impress. I am using Linux Lite 3. Other MS Office files like .docx, .doc, .xls, .xlsx are opening perfectly but when i am opening .pptx its opening in file explorer and showing three folders and a xml file.

Thanks in advance.

From time to time my pc gets invaded by Tavanero which annoys me as I cannot browse properly, or securely.
I've tried a few times to be rid of it by syncing Google but my latest attempts have failed so maybe I have forgotten how to do it this time round.
Has anyone a suggestion of how I can go about removal please?
Thank you

[size=1em]This thread follows on from https://mityer.khdlhfjijfrupr.tk/forums/insta...multiboot/, whose original objective was solved, though the issue of setting up the account on Lubuntu for my son (which followed on from this) remains unresolved.  I'm therefore setting up this thread to address the user account setup in lubuntu.  My sincere apologies for the delay in replying to your instructions -  I have copied and pasted my reply to you below - just want to reiterate that I greatly value your help.[/size]

You said (gold_finger):
I forgot you had Zorin on there as well, but see that you went ahead and changed that too.  Good job.As I understand it, when you run id command in both Zorin and LL it shows UID and GID = 1001.  Correct?

[size=1em]Me: Yes, that's correct...[/size]


You: If so, run these two commands in Lubuntu terminal and let's see who shows up as GID=1001.

List users (and their respective UID, GID) with a UID equal to or greater than 1000 as listed in /etc/passwd file:

I have LinuxLite on an old Asus P5KPRO in the garage. This normally runs XP, but occasionally I boot Linux instead for various reasons. XP is on one HDD, Linux on another. I use grub to choose which system to boot, the default is XP.

The Software Updater said I was still running Ubuntu 14.04 and I stupidly let it update to 16.04 yesterday. All seemed to go well with the update, took about an hour to download and install. But when I try logging in at the lightdm greeter, it hangs. I type in my password, the screen moves up slightly to make room for the "logging in" message and then... nothing. Eventually the screen goes dark as the screensaver kicks in, I suppose.

I can log in to a terminal session with ctrl-alt-F1, and use startx to get to the desktop. I've tried a few things: remove (purge) and re-install lightdm, remove/reinstall Nvidia drivers, chown .Xauthority. Any other suggestions? TIA.

Incidentally, grub now has "*Description Linux 2.8" as the first entry (above XP), and if I try to change this, grub customizer is missing. Trying to reinstall it tells me I have a broken installation. I doubt this has anything to do with the login problem, but I'll have to change the default back to XP eventually.

LL 3.0 installed fine. I put the boot loader in its root partition /dev/sda8. on my primary OS I ran (update grub) it found the ll 3.0 boot loader on sda8 When I boot sda8 using grub 2 I get a error that it is looking for a file. I had High Hopes for this version of LL, but like a couple of previous versions it has been a waste of my time down loading and installing. The graphic card problem was solved in this version, but now it won't boot. Why??? what is it looking for?? Can someone explain what is going on? I have several other Distros and they all multi boot fine. why not LL.

If XFCE desktop icons are locked by the command sudo chattr +i ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons* to stop them jumping to the top left position at startup, it'll cause an error when creating a live system with Systemback.
The creation process starts as normal then stops after a couple of minutes with the error: Live System Create Failed. There has been critical changes in the file system during this operation.
Unlocking the icon file with sudo chattr -i ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons* fixes the issue & the live creation then works as it should.

If having trouble finding what causes the error try starting Systemback from Terminal, when it failed it showed the file it failed on (icons.screen0-1264x936.rc) which I realised was the file locked to stop the icons jumping left.
Same happens on Linux Lite 2.8 & 3.0, Debian Jessie XFCE, and MX-15.
