Hello, I've decided to leave Linux Lite for Manjaro. I would like to thank the dev team, and the community to helping me ease into GNU/Linux as a newbie.
Goodbye, and thank you,

Hello and glad to be here:
I have been using linux for a few years and pretty much just distro hopped i use linux on all my computers for home and home business looking forward to using linux lite thank you for all the work put into the distro its a great distro

Greetings, all.  My Gateway LT40 notebook computer runs a dual boot with LL and AntiX's MX-15.  (LL is my preferred distribution, but I like to play around with alternatives.)  Playing Youtube videos has been a challenge on this little machine. 

To avoid browser issues, I installed SMTube in both distros, with VLC being the player it calls.  Well, with this setup LL did OK playing the videos at about 80-90% CPU usage.  But MX-15 ran with 100% CPU usage and usually the image froze while the sound played.

After some bumbling around I went to the SMTube settings menu and found that it could use several different players.  I installed and tried SMPlayer with better results than VLC, but with the video lagging the audio by about 1 second in MX-15. 

Then I tried mplayer, which is a command line program.  Bingo!  With mplayer the backend to SMTube, Youtube videos played just fine in both distros.  LL still uses less CPU than MX-15, but they are both way down from using VLC or SMPlayer.  I did have to reduce the desired resolution to 360 to get the full video frame, but I blame my 1240 x 600 display for that.  Also, there are fewer controls while watching the video, but this doesn't bother me. 

In retrospect this all makes sense, because as a command line program I'd expect mplayer to use fewer resources.  But it took me a while to figure this out.  I thought I'd pass my experiences along to the LL forum in case this would help someone else.  Linux Lite could actually play the videos without changes, but by using the SMTube and mplayer combination the CPU usage is down to something like 10-15%, a big jump downward, and I like that.  If I'm playing a music video just to listen, I can minimize the video window and do other things at the same time.

Cheers,

It works great in audacity.
i want to use it to search on chromium like "Ok Google"
i read where it was disabled in 1 form of chromium as a spyware culprit.
i can dial out in chromium gmail calls / hangouts, but no one can hear me though I can hear who I call.  i can call out in both chromium and firefox.  Both call out and i can hear them, but with no microphone for them to hear me.

I really want the gmail phone function.  how do i do this?

Is it possible to stop the Font size in Posts changing in size when a correction is made - I deleted a word in the middle of a sentence and the rest of the sentence text was reduced to minimum size .


It also happens with Cut and paste within the same document .


I have been told to use "Paste as plain Text" when pasting from other sources and thought this could be made the only Paste option .


This should not happen  (deleted a mistake > got new font  size ) [size=78%]effect  deleting [/size][/size](changed text size ) within a line Colin [size=78%]

To help view popular Topics with a lot of Posts is it possible to have the following options  to save wading through lots of old posts

1) have the posts with the latest at the top of the list or the option to view " original post " or " latest" first

2) have the go to page dialogue  at the top of each page rather than having to scroll through a page of posts

3) have an "In" Topic search .
If I have Googled a problem etc  and been linked to a Topic I an not directed to the actual post but to the first post . I then have to read though lots of irrelevant posts to find what I want even though the relevant post is quoted in the search results. With big posts it is time consuming and frustrating
.When the post is "Solved" it would be helpfull to go directly to the Solution

Hi everyone,

Longtime Linux user but new here. I tend to be a Debian WM user and it's been a little while since using a DE, certainly didn't think I'd enjoy a system using Xfce but must say, I'm quite impressed with Linux Lite and find it a very responsive, well organized, fast and surprisingly easy to customize distribution.

I'd like to thank the dev(s) and all involved for all your hard work! 

i am running LL 2.6 [32 bit]on an old netbook that cannot run a 64 bit os.
should i just abandon google chrome?

can i use Mozilla firefox with google as my home page and mozilla will still run flash?

I have a hard drive with Only Linux Distros on it no windows on any of my machines. I have a couple of Linux distros installed and working fine. I partitioned and installed LL 2.8 beta. all goes well until it is finished installing and time to boot. I then get a error message that says Error: File name expected. I can boot log into my other distros but LL will not boot. Seems several are having the same problem. What is going on and how can I fix it. I refuse to install windows. I want to install LL on a slower computer because it is not so resource intensive. If I can't get this issue resolved I will have to find another distro. I would really like to get this fixed as I used LL on another machine which I no longer have.
