You should now be able to link your Social Network account to the Linux Lite Forums.
The following Networks are enabled:
- Facebook
- Github
- Google
- LinkedIn
- Twitter
To link an existing social network account, go to Profile, Forum Profile (scroll to bottom) and select a Network.
This also makes it much easier for people to register too and makes it difficult for bots to register.
Also handy if you forget or lose your Forum password :p

$ lspci -v -s 01:00.0
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV516/M64 [Mobility Radeon X2300] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1449
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
I/O ports at a800 [size=256]
Memory at fa9f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Expansion ROM at fa9c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Some websites say X2300 has only max 128MB, but some says 256MB... Windows told me I have 256MB too.
Maybe Windows detected wrong memory size?

| bind-home.conf not binding to /home on LL2.4/win8.1 UEFI dual boot set-up |

I have just set up a LL2.4 dual boot on a new laptop, pre-installed with win8.1, with UEFI (fast boot, secure boot) enabled. Everything has worked very well until I got to the stage of binding LL2.4's /mnt/DATA partition on sdb to My Home Directory on sda. The laptop has two separate physical drives: SSD1 (sda) for the operating systems, SSD2 (sdb) for the /mnt/DATA. I have done this set-up before, but only with an MBR file structure, not a GPT one as in the present set up. I don't know if the use of GPT in the present set-up affects binding, or if the information I should enter in either the fstab file or the bind-home.conf file is different for GPT compared to MBR set-ups. I'd be grateful if you could advise.
At the moment when I reboot the laptop & choose LL from the grub screen it doesn't fully boot but hangs indefinitely at the screen with the image of the feather with the progress bar below it. I let the progress bar run completely to the right, but still no rebooting. Any help on this one is much appreciated as I'm out of my depth here.
Regards
Mike

First, kudos for discussing home directory encryption in your manual.
Unlike encrypting during install (which unfortunately doesn't work) encrypting with ecryptfs-migrate-home asks at some point for a "passphrase". It would be nice to know what the length/characters requirements are for this phrase. In the example, the user confirms the phrase with ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase. A 32-character hexadecimal number displays. Is this the only acceptable format?
I'm a bit confused that the instructions say to run ecryptfs-add-passphrase and enter the login password, but the screen shot shows ecryptfs-add-passphrase requesting the passphrase. Which is it?
I tried reading /usr/share/doc/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-faq.html, but became even more confused. Partway through, it stops talking about "passphrase" and out-of-the-blue talks about "keys". Does passphrase=key or are they two different things?
I've used home directory encryption in Xubuntu before, but the encryption took place during install. I don't recall being asked for a passphrase. Encryption is rather exacting and any mistake could result in completely unrecoverable data. That's why instructions for it really need to be crystal clear.
Having said all this, I must repeat that Linux Lite is the best distro I've encountered for general use on modest machines.

| recovery mode bugs. root seg faults, system summary fails |

I done a fresh install of LL2.4
onto a fully tested system, RAM, smartdrive, cables and video cards
and ran into some crashing,
but
the recovery boot mode has some bugs.
If I attempt drop to root I get a SEG FAULT
if I try to get a system summary it will flash errors and return to recovery menu.
.. arithmetic expression: expecting primary: /
Another problem I've had with xubuntu recovery mode menu entry
fsck
and it stalls (same happened with the LL2.4 new install)
seems to be caused by recovery mode trying to check the swap partition (I think it should not do this)
I mention this in case someone else has had this fsck stalling problem.
I have bug report in with ubuntu

| Adding Menu Items |

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but how do I add menu items - and get them to show in the menu?
I added a group "Office" in order to manually add icons for Apache Openoffice. The Main Menu tool shows an icon for an Office group with a tick in the "show" column, but the icon doesn't show when I open the menu. I have restarted the machine since making the change.
Lite 2.4 32-bit.
