Can anyone suggest a good book or articles to get a good overview of where Linux-Lite fits into the Linux System. and in particular for connecting the Bluetooth Adapter to Audio or Data .  I would like to understand what should be happening .

I have problem is with my Bluetooth Headset which connects OK to the Bluetooth adapter but the adapter cannot connect to Audio .  I have had good support from Rob without finding my problem. There appears to be a general problem in Ubuntu with pointing the audio to the correct sink . I understand that Lite uses Pulse Audio  and Blueman but from what I can see does not load Pulse Audio Bluetooth Module  . After loading the module I an no nearer.

I find Internet searches very confusing as there are so many different Linux distributions each with its own set of building blocks . It would simplify searching if I knew which posts in other forums are applicable to my search for Lite  . What might be helpful  is a simple block schematic diagram of were the various parts of Linux-Lite fit together . I find it very difficult to fault a problem when I do not understand what should be happening and why .

Good afternoon linux guru's,
I'm a brand new 2 week old babe to linux, so i need some guidance please. About 2 weeks ago I installed Mint 16 cinnamon on an old Dell Dimension-8300 I had laying around the house that had XP on it. I was experiencing some hang ups and freezes with that system so after doing a little research and decided to give linux lite a try. I love this OS to death and will keep it, but I'm having trouble configuring my wireless USB adapter. I managed to get it working on Mint 16 after some trial and error, but I can't seem to get it to work in LL.
I installed ndiswapper through synaptic (think that's what its called) and was able to get the driver installed, but I'm getting Fatal, module not found error after install, and I can't seem to get it configured to even view wireless networks available to select my router. All this worked just fine in Mint, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
The wireless adapter I'm using is a Netgear N600, model WMDA3100v2. Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried many versions of Linux over the years, having used Unix since the early '80's, but I really think that LinuxLite is exceptional. I run it on two small Netbooks, one an early Acer AspireOne with only 512mb RAM and a 8GB solid state drive, on which it performs brilliantly. This system came with a cut-down Linux called Linpus (RIP), and I have tried many small distros such as SliTaz, Puppy, DSL, EasyPeasy, Fuduntu, etc - all too basic or with other problems (I should exclude SliTaz from the last remark, as it runs well on a very old Acer laptop with less than 200mb RAM).

I know that it is a lot of work for you to maintain, but the lack of "bloat" in the system is worth it.

Thanks a lot for a great distro. I hope that you get lots of help, as I guess from the number of members of the forum that LinuxLite does not have, as yet, a large following. I will certainly recommend it to anyone.

More of a "heads-up" here than anything else.

Problem:  On homepage of Linux Lite (specifically on https://www.linuxliteos.com/ and/or https://www.linuxliteos.com/index.html), none of the links to other pages were working.  Had to type in the link addresses of other pages to get to them because links from homepage didn't work.  Once on another page, the links from them to others worked fine -- it was only the homepage that had problems.

Have tracked down cause of mysterious problem to be things on the homepage being blocked by the Adblock Plus extension in Firefox web browser.  Here are my Adblock settings:


And here are the items (in red) being blocked on the LL home page that cause all links on the page not to work:


It appears that something about the social media buttons for Facebook, Twitter, etc. being blocked is causing problems with all links on the page.  I have not yet run into this problem on any other website.  Here's what I see without Adblock:


And here is same area with Adblock:



I'm no expert in HTML programming, but it appears that blocking the buttons causes this script (which is NOT being blocked) to not work properly.

Hi All!!

I've been a member for a while, but I just hadn't had the opportunity to say hi until now...So a big Hi to all of you...

I know some of you are part of the linux distro community, and so am I. However, as a full time Linux Lite user I thought I should be more active on this forum. Also because I wanted to try the new 2.0...

Thanks everyone... see you around!

Cheers! 8)

Hi is there a way to make the mouse pointer show busy whilst opening an app like say firefox etc.  My wife ends up trying to open numerous windows as she doesn't see pointer doing anything and assumes it hasn't started.

Hi I was wondering which tweak tool you would suggest was the best one for using with LL?

Hello, i have another question,
Using 2.0 beta,  I installed google chrome, (and chromium to test as well) and i am trying to get the shows on http://abc.go.com/shows    to play, but i get a error saying: Shockwave flash has crashed? i checked and chrome (and chromium) has the latest pepperflash installed, can anyone try this and confirm, is there a way to get the shows to play on abc.com and chrome (or chromium)? it works in winows and mac.

Also quicktime movies (not apple movie trailers) wont play in chrome or chromium either as in here:
http://www.apple.com/logic-pro/in-action/        Scroll down to:Nine inch nails take to the stage video, i get a message saying: Get quicktime?
Other than that everything is working great in beta 2.0, i am loving this OS, Thanks!

Hello, Just installed 2.0 beta(and 1.0.8) and think its fantastic! Almost have everything working. ( this is on a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop.

Im trying to find a windows replacement for my sisters laptop, so far i have tried Zorin os and Linux Lite 1.0.8
So far i have everything working except: System sounds (ex - Start up and shut down sounds, minimize and maximize windows, log on, log off, error ect... )
i have enabled: Event sounds under appearance Settings, tried to install some Canberra Stuff? Still no system or event sounds?
So far i am loving this OS and think i can get some people to switch to it, just need to get it working as close to windows as possible, so if anyone could point me in the direction i would appreciate it.

I have done numerous google searches spent a few hours trying things and still no system sounds working
(all the other sounds work, youtube, music, video, etc...
Keep up the great work this Os is going to be awesome!
Thanks,
Tommy

Support will no longer be offered in the IRC channel #linuxlite.
There are several reasons for this:

• In the time that it's been open, most users disconnect within 1-2 minutes if they don't get a reply.
  
• When someone does receive help, many people are disconnecting before that help is finished.
  
• Many people coming in are using IRC for the first time and have no idea how to use it giving them the impression we are not offering a user friendly facility.
