Hi I searched in the forum an answer about my problem but could not find an answer...

Basically I installed Linux Lite 2.0 on my computer without any problem.

After using the “Install updates” icon, the updates did install properly.

But when I try to add any software thru the “Install additional software” and entered my choice of 1 to 25 and my password... I get the confirmation installation windows, then click Yes and enter my password...

Then Nothing get downloaded.

Can you tell my what is the solution to that please... and keep in mind that I am a new Linux user.

Thank you.

Hi I am trying to setup linux lite 2.0 on a spare machine to see how it will function as a server OS i have just done a fresh install and want to do the rest from my windows computer i am trying to connect using PuTTy but it won't connect i have used ifconfig to get the IP which is 192.168.1.5 but PuTTy keeps rejecting the connection i have checked by running apt-get openssh-client and it says it is installed (i assume by default) but still won't connect I know it is connected though because i can browse to \\192.168.1.5 using Windows Explorer and it shows the default LinuxLiteShare folder

It is connected via a ethernet cable into a 8 Port switch which the other computers is connected to also

Second Question

I have a wifi adapter i want to connect to it and use it to share an internet connection of my LAN in windows i am able to bridge the connections and share the internet recieved via that usb adapter over the network alongside my regular LAN shares how can i bridge a WIFI and Ethernet Connection together in linux lite

New to LL2.0, but FF30 is crashing system when it starts up. This doesn't happen with Chromium, and did not happen on a different machine running PC Linux OS LXDE and FF30. No system update missed or skipped.

Hardware : EMachines w/AMD64 single-core processor, 2GB RAM, 150GB HD -- plenty of drive space/RAM available per system monitor tool.

FF30 crashes the computer when starting, so it never gets to a web page--can't even get to a blank home page. I know I had Colorful Tabs as an add-on.

How in the devil do you change the mouse pointer size and possibly the color? The size change is necessary as I am almost 73 and that miniature pointer is a pain in the petard!!!

Hello. Today, 2014-06-13, i installed Linux Lite 2.0, and i am very happy with Linux Lite 2.0. I use usb headset CM 108 audio controller (Steelseries 5H V2). In dmesg i see this lines "retire_playback_urb: 832 callbacks suppressed". What this lines means? Is this critical? By the way, sound work good.

I (thought) I installed correct drivers for a Canon MX870 printer. When adding the printer to print manager trying to print didn;t work, so I added a second instance of the printer in the print manager and it printed a couple files. After a couple restarts, nothing, can't print a thing. I tried to (re)install other drivers based on this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013...inux-mint/

Doesn't work. The job loads into the print manager, then just hangs up and nothing prints.

Seems best to just completely remove drivers and start over, but I have no idea how to do this.

Greetings all.  My name is Douglas and I have been using Linux for over a decade.  I started with RedHat Linux 8 (before Fedora and RHES).  I have mainly used Debian derivates for many years now, using Arch for spells here and there.  Mint has served me well until recently, the latest version seems kind of slow and freezes sometimes... so I started looking around.  I read several glowing reviews of Lite 2.0, much more polished than 1.0.  So I gave it a try, so far I really like it.  I will stick with it for a while.

Greetings from Wisconsin!  8)

Over the past 15 or so years, I have been a pure IT manager and watched my UNIX/Linux/BSD/etc. skills fade.  I used to be quite proficient in system admin work, writing Perl scripts, etc.  For a while, I thought FreeBSD was the end all/be all of operating systems, particularly for servers.

With Microsoft's recent sunset of Windows XP support and my owning several older PC's that still seem to have plenty of life in them, I started to look at lite distros.  I initially decided to install Lubuntu on one of my old PC's and was amazed at how simple it was to install.  I was hooked (again) on the freedom, tweakability, speed, innovation, etc. of an open source operating system.  I “binge” installed several distros including Elementary, Zorin, Puppy, PCLinuxOS, SolydX, etc.  Each of them have a lot of strengths and breathed life into my old PC's.  But for whatever reason -- whether it was the video resolution, WiFi connectivity, detecting hardware, general error messages, UI, or whatever else -- I wasn't completely happy.  Maybe I have some strange hardware configurations.  Plus, I'm a musician and wanted to try Ardour as a new DAW alternative to my older Windows-based packages.  Unfortunately, not all of my audio hardware was recognized by several distros and there were usually some other audio issues.

Then I discovered Linux Lite.  It installed quickly, recognized all of my hardware and just worked!

I'm not entirely sure why Linux Lite doesn't get more great reviews & props because I have found it to be just about perfect for my needs.  It has just the right balance of ease of use, great hardware detection, awesome speed & performance, selection of pre-installed apps, aesthetics, tweakability, etc.  And this support forum has been a great way to get answers to questions.

I've already told several family members and coworkers that Linux is no longer a black box with a mysterious question mark on it.  It is ready for prime time use by every day users.  And the distro that I recommend, based on looking at several, is Linux Lite.

HUGE thanks and props to Valtam and the rest of the LL developers for creating an absolutely fantastic distro!  And thanks for supporting this support forum!
