Hi everyone,

Very new to Linux Lite. I have a dual install of LL and Windows, and can't get LL to boot. The only way I can use Linux Lite is by booting up Windows and then going Settings > Recovery > advanced Restart > Restart from USB etc and then I select Ubuntu, and it restarts and boots Linux instead of Windows. Not what I want to be doing every time obviously!

I already posted on this and had some suggestions but no fix. I think what I need to do is configure Grub so that it boots first instead of Windows. One user told me to input sudo nano /etc/default/grub , but then I wasn't sure what to do after that.

Any help appreciated, many thanks!

Adrian

Hello brothers and sisters,

I have installed Linux Lite 5.6 and its working very fine.

I have small issue regarding system built-in emojis, i can use CTRL+. to access it,
but it only works in Mousepad Text Editor and not in firefox or anywhere else
Is there any way to enable it in firefox browser?

Hi,

I'm new to Linux and  installed LL 5.6 on a 64 bit AMD 2 core 2.7GHz, 4Gb RAM, legacy BIOS PC on Monday. All seems good.

My apologies for asking about a problem in the previous version of this post regarding fonts, This had been plaguing me for days, but a solution has just occurred to me. My apologies for breaking any forum protocols; I'm new to this.

Is there a way to get rid of the disappearing scrollbars, please, (or a way to make them more visible) as I find them mildly confusing? I can't find a setting for this; I've also done a search for Animations.

Solutions would be most welcome. Although I'm experienced with Windows, please respond as to a beginner.

Ean.

Those of you opting for Brave browser may want to take a look at some relatively thorough and interesting commentary from this site. If you are offended by a little vulgar language do not let it discount the facts involved. The writer is very bright and informed, though he has a bit of an abnormal fixation about censorship and is vulgar at times on purpose, so it is not worth the bother to comment on his occasional vulgarity. He does hit upon most of the reasons of my own reticence about the Brave browser. I am preparing a reply to his commentary but it will be a few days before I put it all together. Many of the digital currency pioneers and entrepreneurs are nothing short of unethical hucksters, anarchists, and profligate millionaire gangsters. There is a dark lingering history of havoc in their rise to prominence.

Will LL 5.6 work with the RTL-SDR dongles  for UHF / VHF radio? If so, do I need to add apt CubicSDR?

I just installed Linux Lite 5.6 on a laptop and started configuring the bottom panel but can't seem to find the weather plugin.
Am I missing something?

Many thanks to the team who work on the forum, and for the support it provides.

I'm new to Linux and a Windows 10 user who has recently installed Linux Lite 5.6 on a 64 bit AMD 2 core 2.7GHz, 4Gb RAM, legacy BIOS PC. For the sake of caution, it's single boot. I have some Windows 7 PC's that people have given me, of very broadly similar specs to the above. These I've got working and upgraded(?) to Windows 10, and activated, but none will accept a Windows 11 installation. Also, Windows updates waste time and randomly delete restore points. Other problems are resource-wasting gimmicks and bloatware, and lack of privacy. In the longer term, I hope to use LL as my internet OS, and continue using Windows 10 for my offline PC.

Installation was easy. At first, on trying to update, an error message kept appearing. A reboot followed by a further update attempt solved the problem. First impressions are that LL works smoothly and well. Thing is, to keep using it and experiment a bit to get to know the OS. I'm a senior citizen, and not a fast learner, but LL is intuitive and may well do all I need. It's bundled with great apps; I already use VLC and Firefox, and Libre Writer seems straightforward. A challenge is learning and remembering Linux-specific terminology. Perhaps more of this could be added to the  manual's glossary in the future?

Best wishes, Ean.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
