FYI...
Internet firms will have to store details of people's online activity for 12 months under a new surveillance law.

I don't usually include beta's in software repos, but on this occasion, after testing v.11, and taking into consideration all the new features, I felt it deserved inclusion.

Microsoft attempts to justify unstoppable spying on it's users...absolutely disgusting.

I expected LinuxLite to be a lot easier for people who just want a easy to use PC that would allow them to use a computer for hobbies etc  they want it for and not to be a Computer Hobbyist.
Linux may have come a long way but I am confused by all the branches it has taken especially when I have a problem and try to find help on the internet .  It appears to be out of control without any overall aim . If all the effort was channeled into a few distros with individual aims to supply a distro  for different sorts of users " like a Windows replacement" etc the progress should be better .

Whilst I appreciate all the help I have received I would have preferred not to have needed to seek  help in the first place . I just want to get on with actually using a computer for my purposes Unfortunately the people with Computer knowledge  who help us often use the CLI instead of GUI solutions . That is OK from their point of view when they understand what they are talking about . To me using the CLI as being told by an expert is similar to blindly following a Sat Nav  > Turn left > turn Right etc and end up over a cliff because I do not know what direction I should be heading


I was happy with Linuxlite when it works as I want it to but I am finding the learning curve too high especially needing to use CLI when I encounter problems . I want to be led by the hand by an easy to understand program with dialogue that gives me an idea of what is needed . Even a lot of the GUI programs documentation leaves a lot to be desired .


One sad thing about Computer Program use and Electronics etc is  we are often not even told everything that they should be able  do .
The designer/ Programmer  "should know" what he has done and tell us ? How do we know if something is working correctly if we do not know its facilities. Getting them to do it is another problem .


Even a Tree view  of what it can do would help to guide us where to look. Computers were supposed to make life easier and be able to give us help . They cannot even help us diagnose their own problems (eg Error 12345) but no link to where we might try to find what it means or how to fix it .(eg ask your System  Administrator) Thats when I have to start talking to myself as I am both ?

This used "Disk" but it did not work for me - the options were Greyed out so I tried this

Add (opens little window), put:
udisks --mount /dev/sdx
(where sdx is the name of your disk)
in the 'Command' text box. Name process
something like 'Auto-mount', hit 'Add' and
make sure it's ticked under 'Startup programs'.

  I am trying to get a  "png screenshot file" tranfered to a USB stick  /  no matter what way I try I allways get  "Invalid Filename"

  I allready have png files on the stick from previous series of LL 1.0.8 , I am now using LL 2.6 but it's just not happening.
  USB 2.0
  FAT 32   
                Any Ideas.

Trying to use Virtualbox with kernel 4.2 but keep getting error: "No suitable module for running kernel found".


Anything we can do to troubleshoot this?

I don't like the newer bright Lightdm theme in version 2.6.  How can I replace that with the one from 1.08?

I just replaced version 1.08 with version 2.6.  Version 1.08 gave me no wireless connectivity problems.  Version 2.6 can 'connect' to wireless network, but pages will not load.
