I have a Dell E1405 laptop with Windows 8.1 and Linux lite 5.4 in a dual boot, my problem is that the folder that I setup to share with my other Windows pc on my lan, I see my linux pc on my Windows pc and I can access it too and see my folder but I can not access the folder he asks me for credentials but does not let me access it. I have already tried more than 5 times to configure sharing the folder in linux but it is always the same, BTW my folders on my Windows pc all access very well without problems in linux, I need your help because I am new to linux thanks.

:038: I have a hp laptop with touchscreen with dual boot, Windows 10/Linux-Lite 20.04. I got touchegg from Package Manager, but it doesn't seem to work. How do I use touchscreen?
I fixed it by getting the touchegg ppa and getting touche' to configure touchegg. It's working.

I have Linux Lite on a fairly old Lenovo S21e laptop.  Previously I ran Cinnamon Mint but changed to LL because of very limited memory. Generally it works fine, but unlike Mint, where the BT did work, I just cannot seem to get the BT up and running. I installed/uninstalled bluez, then blueman (on now) - no joy.

All I want is to be able to use a BT mouse without dongle and to connect my BT headphones.

Thanks in advance for any tips / tricks / fixes

Thanks in advance for any advice

A year ago I had a friend install Linux Lite for me in an Oracle Virtual Box. I have been very satisfied with how it works according to what I need. Once a week I routinely install all the needed updates, but the past 3 or 4 weeks it has not been working. It gives instead a sort of error log, in which the line maybe most relevant is:

«Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)»

As I remember I did not modify anything in the setup. I have tried with different "Lite Repository Mirrors", but that did not help.

I am not an advanced Linux user. Do I now have to do a special authentication to update? Where? Thank you.

I can't boot into my desktop anymore because my monitor trips out as soon as it loads my desktop. Login screen is fine, just the desktop has a bad resolution set.

I can't figure out for the life of me how to change the resolution back from a recovery terminal. I see xorg.conf isn't really a thing anymore. I can't find any information on the replacement anywhere either, which is weird. I must be using some really wrong keywords.

Well I did find a link telling me to delete "~/.config/monitors.xml" but that doesn't exist in Linux Lite.

tl;dr: Please PLEASE how do I reset the display resolution??? It's 100% broken, monitor flickers with a distorted display please help

I do not use VB and I am curious as to how difficult it may be to use SSH to display a running Vbox system remotely, and to configure SFTP between its host and the remote system it is displayed on. With gnome boxes I can display a running OS in gnome boxes remotely using SSH X11 forwarding and SFTP to both the host and the remote system it is displayed on from the OS running in gnome boxes and use remmina and/or Thunar bookmarks. File transfer is a breeze, and the whole thing is easy to set up and gives me SFTP between all three systems. Is SSH easily configurable for such a setup in Vbox? With gnome boxes it's a breeze.

My setup is a Debian 10.9 host with gnome boxes, spice tools, and open SSH client and server ( I can SSH both directions) installed. In boxes I run either Linux Lite 5.x or Bunsen Labs. From my permanent LL 5.x desktop with open SSH client and server installed I can SSH X11 forward gnome boxes to my desktop display there and move files back and forth between the two allowing me to experiment with the virtualized LL 5.x system without harming my permanent installation of Linux Lite, all the while using the CPU power and RAM of my host system and being able to transfer files back and forth from my host as well. This is quite a convenience. I just wonder how difficult this would be to achieve with Vbox?

Hello,
I have been a Windows users since Windows 386, yeah I am old.  After reading a glowing recommendation of Linux Lite as a replacement for Windows I decided to take the plunge.

Anyway, just tried to install Linux Lite on a Windows PC as a dual boot.  Installation seemed to go fine but on reboot I am presented with a prompt for GNU GRUB ver. 2.04 and do not know how to move forward.  Any insights, suggestions, help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance for any help you can offer.

Hello everyone.  I've been on Windows systems for 22 years.  I have never used any other operating systems at all.  Everything was going hunky dory on the various PC towers over the years with Windows.  No need to look elsewhere.

Then I bought a laptop which has proven to be frustrating and fairly useless at efficiently running the preinstalled Windows 10 it came with. Finally, after a million ridiculous freeze ups just doing the simplest tasks on this P.O.S. laptop (or trying to run more than one program or app at a time) instead of me smashing it into a million pieces, I somehow got the bright idea to try and find if such a thing existed as a less resource-intensive operating system that could maybe work more effortlessly on this garbage laptop. 

And so I checked into the world of alternative operating systems and determined to give Linux a try. After some research, it seemed Linux Lite was recommended for Linux newbies like myself.  Since April I've been running Linux Lite on a persistent live USB I created myself.  I have some questions about using Linux Lite in this way and so here I am, joining this forum.  I'm still trying to find answers to my questions as it seems that, from reading all the forum guidelines and maybe a dozen threads, one needs to complete due diligence before starting a thread where said topic may already be covered. 

Been using LL for quite awhile on a crusty old DDR2 era Phenom II X4 820 for my garage computer and its been working like a champ. Lately though, not sure cause of an update, Firefox tabs will get the "Gah. Your tab just crashed." almost all the time. Oddly enough this forum hasnt crashed yet. Any thoughts as to why? only plugin i am running is uBlock Origin.
