I am new to this operating system, which I have come to because MS Vista is losing support very soon. Thus far I am very impressed, but with one key exception. Skype is an essential part of my old operating system, but I cannot get it to work in Linux Lite - despite trawling through forum responses and Google searches. I cannot get my microphone to be recognised, though the Pulse Audio volume control shows an input response to my voice (on board SigmaTel HD and plugged in mic). No application is shown as recording – when Skype and Audacity are running. The Skype sound test, though perfectly audible, fails to register a recorded message from me. Audacity, however is able to record/playback plugged in and on board microphones. Is it perhaps no coincidence that guvcview and Skype do not function as expected, since my on board webcam (Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC6 with self-installed R5U870 driver) also refuses to record video in the former, and activate in the call window in the latter? I should be most grateful for some guidance, though please bear in mind that I have had limited experience using the terminal. These are my system details:

Hi,

This is the first time I came across such a strange network problem like this.

What I am trying to do is to get onto a certain website but everything I have tried just doesn't work. The strange thing is I can get onto other websites with no problems whatsoever. I tested both Firefox and Chrome but I get the same result with the website in question, when I type in the address of the site in the address bar, I can see the indicator trying to do something but it just sits there, no data is loaded into the browser. Even in the host system nothing I've tried will work (I am using LinuxLite 2.8 in a virtual machine on a mac using El Capitan, the mac is the host, and I am on a wireless connection).

I had a talk with the tech person who provides internet access thinking it might be something on that end but he thought it was not that since I can get other websites besides the one I want. I've checked proxies, browser plugins, etc. I even did a traceroute on the site, it will go to a certain part and then no data gets transferred. If I ping the site, no pings happen. I've contacted the owner of the site, she's given me some things to try out but that hasn't done anything either.

If you have any ideas on how I might solve this problem, please let me know as I have completely run out of things to try out. Wow, what a mind blower, maybe it's something simple that's not set right but I don't know what to look for.

Thanks,

Hello Linux Lite Community:
In the past few days, whenever I try to install updates, about halfway through the process it freezes and a window appears with a red "X" stating, "Couldn't fetch the package cache information lists".
Attached is the system report I performed after several update attempts.

We've removed Chrome from the Lite Software 32bit version.

For 32bit Google Chrome:

Open a terminal and do each of these commands one at a time:

With only 1 gig of ram and minimal cpu I need to watch what I'm doing carefully. The task manager progress graphs and % reports do the job, except it is using 10% to 20% of cpu itself. I'd like to find a low resource cpu/memory tool for desktop use. Truly a little meter in the taskbar would be best.
Anybody know of such a tool?
Thanks

Heya LL users and geeks  ... I'm a TI and Infrastructure Analyst in Brazil and I have started to use LL 2.8 on all my equipments.

[size=1em]Probably one for the Devs.??[/size]

[size=1em]Out of curiosity how complex would it be to get Linux Lite on a Raspberry PI,[/size]

[size=1em]especially one the the new Quad Core 1.2GHz with WiFi&BT Raspberry PI 3.??[/size]

[size=1em]I know there is a Debian Distro, and various others.[/size]

[size=1em]But there is a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS distro for the PI[/size]


Edit:
Just found this Ubuntu Mate for Raspberry PI3
I'm curious, don't want to detract from Linux Lite Aims.

Positive experiences with Linux Lite have been dominating my cyber-world.  It is polished, stable, and quite robust for being a 'lite' distro.  My implementation is not so lite.  There is nothing that I know of that gives some other distro the edge.  Linux Lite has become my favorite distro in a very short time.  Amazing, eh?

Can i somehow enable greeter-show-manual-login=true i lightdm config? I need this for domain login.
