Hi,
  today I have installed linux lite on a PC.
  I have booted the iso from a USB key then I have installed on SD1 which is an Hard Drive.
  Then I have started the installation program again to install it on a second USB and ... surprise.. it use SD1 as "source" device.
  I have rebooted again, booted from the first USB pen but when I ask to install the distribution it points to SD1 as source insted of the USB key I am booting from.
  In this situation if I continue installing the system hangs at the middle of process.

  Regards,
    Giuseppe Chillemi

Hello, All!

I finally got around to adding LL 2.0 Beta to my HP laptop with built-in Bluetooth support. The Bluetooth headset paired OK, but had no audio, and the headset did not appear in Volume Control. Turns out that in Ubuntu 14.04 (and also some earlier versions), the module named module-bluetooth-discover isn't getting loaded to enable the Audio Sink service, which routes the audio to the Bluetooth device.

Here's a workaround. By the numbers, here's what it takes to get audio out of the Bluetooth device. Sadly, until someone cooks up a fix, THIS *MUST* be done EVERY time you pair the device, which is a real bummer.

1. Left-click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. This brings up the 'Bluetooth Devices' window.

2. Select 'Device > Connect > Headset Service'. Wait until you see "Success" at the bottom of the window.

3. Open a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T], and type the following:

Hello
I came across this during a Web search which I found good amd feel could be helpful to other New users who are converting from Windows and want an easy guide of how Linux-Lite does the tasks you are used to . It is for Lite 1.0.2 but the basics appear to be the same .

Looking for a spot of help please.

Converted my old business xp esprimo to LL 1.0.8, connected printer via USB, perfect printing! Can even print from my eos laptop and bohdi netbook over WiFi.
BUT

Can not scan?

LL scanner app just doesn't accept the fact that there is a scanner attached?

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Hi,

On my system, Rsyslogd sometimes stops logging to files. It's random and happens maybe every other week. It doesn't coincide with any changes or updates.

I found a diagnostic that told me to run the following command:
/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -f/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf -N1

The output is:
rsyslogd: version 5.8.6, config validation run (level 1), master config /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
rsyslogd: WARNING: rsyslogd is running in compatibility mode. Automatically generated config directives may interfer with your rsyslog.conf settings. We suggest upgrading your config and adding -c5 as the first rsyslogd option.
rsyslogd: Warning: backward compatibility layer added to following directive to rsyslog.conf: ModLoad immark
rsyslogd: Warning: backward compatibility layer added to following directive to rsyslog.conf: MarkMessagePeriod 1200
rsyslogd: Warning: backward compatibility layer added to following directive to rsyslog.conf: ModLoad imuxsock
rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

So, it looks like I have to add -c5 as the first syslogd option.

The problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to do this. Can anyone help please?

I have found a nicer themed IRC client that you may want to look into. The QwebIRC client looks really dated and I thought that this might help to make IRC a little more user friendly to use. Also: No Captcha Phrase Required to Enter! Makes it easier on the visually impaired. This is Free and Open Source, fully coded and scripted in JavaScript. No Adobe Flash Used! It is called Kiwi IRC.

Their main site is here: https://kiwiirc.com/.

They also have a GitHub page if you want to look at that here: https://github.com/prawnsalad/KiwiIRC.

Lastly, here is a link I set up for you to directly connect to chat.freenode.net, port 6667, on channel #linuxlite. Nickname is left blank for user to choose.

https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode...ocommunity.

If you would like to setup another link to directly connect to a network, it is as simple as changing the URL to match the IRC server and channel.

-http://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net/channel_name-
                                          IRC Server        Channel Name
                                                                    (no # number sign prefix before the channel name)

Substitute the IRC Server (if needed) and then the "channel_name" to the respective IRC channel to directly connect to (do not put a # number sign prefix on the channel name). I added dashes in the link so that it isn't clickable. Copy and Paste the URL without the dashes and substitute the appropriate information.

That is really it! Hope this helps others get support on IRC instead of having to get support to use IRC!

Update: Since the #linuxlite IRC channel closed down recently, I updated the link to instead connect to the #linuxdistrocommunity.

The built-in speakers on my laptop seem to have stopped working since i installed Linux Lite 1.0.8. S i've posted the sound portion from a system report. Hope this helps.

Help Please

Have clock on desktop showing dd/mm/yyyy and time 24hrs bottom right hand side screen, Task Bar ?

However saved mail record on Thunderbird has mm/dd/yyyy.  On Thunderbird Help it states that TB takes time from the PC's clock

What have i done wrong.  Is there any way I can change this? Don't want to have to reinstall.

Thanks.

Just downloaded and took a look at Lite 2.0 Beta and it looks and works faultlessly (and fast).  Glad to see it's based on 14.04 LTS "Trusty" so will be supported for quite a while.  I still have Lite 12.04 LTS on two desktops but when I find time to upgrade to this newer version I'll definitely do so.  Still no boot up on my old non-pae laptop (Pentium M) so will have to pass on that one until I replace the CPU.  How do you get so many good things packed into 699 MB??  Mystery of the ages.  Cactusneedle in Arizona, USA

Hi,
I am new to this OS.
I have a fresh installation of Linux Lite v2.0. The logging function in /var/log/syslog is not working--in fact, most of the logs show 0 bytes, despite me getting acquainted with the OS all day long.
I use iptables and depend on syslog to monitor network activity. Is there some configuration I must apply to enable logging?
Also, my iptables configuration is not being restored at boot-up from /etc/iptables.rules. I am following the same steps that always work on Ubuntu--placing the restore command as a pre-up instruction in /etc/network/interfaces. It would be nice if I didn't have to retype the iptables rules after each login! Does anyone know where I should put this command?
Thanks in advance.
