I lost my wifi on my Dell Inspiron 1501 yesterday, fooled around a bit then installed Mint 17 64 bit. No wifi on it and this morning no ethernet either. The Mint and Ubuntu forums are all reporting problems with connectivity due to updates.
Mint 17 Cinnamon is much slower than Linux Lite. Will be reinstalling Lite.

You know I was just sitting here and I was thinking that the Cubes wall paper is a great wall paper. I am suggesting that somewhere in that picture, maybe integrated in the cubes and reflections and stuff the words Beryl should be in there too... Is there anyone that can do that? I would like to test it out and see how it looks if someone could do that.

Have a look at what I did, tell me what you think?

Something like this but maybe a little more involved.(reflected in the cube etc...)
Thanks.

How to change description to linux lite 2.0

Where are downloaded podcasts files for media players such as Banshee, Rhythmbox, Clementine, etc stored.
I am quite interested in this, because in a multi-booted set up, I would like to share these files on a shared DATA partition between the operating systems, rather than each OS having to download the podcasts separately.

I assume they are located in one of the 'root' folders (sorry I still talk about folders, as I am a linux newbie from MS Windows) ???

Hello,

I am a new comer to Linux and not very tech savvy. So kindly bear with me if I sound a bit silly. I have been using Linux Lite since January this year and recently reinstalled the distro since Lite 2.0 came. First I installed 32 bit and everything was working perfectly, but then I realized my laptop DELL vostro 1015 had a 64 bit processor so I uninstalled the 32 bit version and installed the 64 bit. Since then I have had some problems that I never had. The system freezes some times and I have to shut it down with power button. And the problem I have not been able to solve is the Webcam (Cheese and Gucview) works as long as I take videos, but as soon as I take a snapshot it crashes (freezes or disappears). Please help.

The next addition to the Lite software family will be Lite Backup.

Most of the back up solutions available for linux that I have tried either have a steep learning curve, confusing interface or they miss files and folders during the process.
Lite Backup looks to simplify the way we perform backups buy focusing on file types as opposed to entire directories. If you're new to linux and you can't remember where all your pictures are, Lite Backup will search your computer and combine them all into one backup. There will also be a restore process included.

This is likely to be the most complex of our packages to create, so it will be a while before it is available to use.

We welcome your suggestions and ideas. The following screenshot is just a mock up, there is no working code yet. Once I have completed the first working backup type, the code will be made public.

Large forest fires tend to make their own weather...have seen this type of lightning while travelling in the air to battle them.
Created the clouds mixed with the smoke and used the lighting effects filter for the lightning...pretty close to the real thing...

Automated installs.
Ubuntu and some other distro's support this part but does Linux Lite?
Havent seen any real information about this as of yet so I need to ask

I have had very little support from linux mint ( as an example, among a few ) in terms of my needs...
Let me break it down for you.

I work for a municipality and I take/get every single PC they discard in order to clean/wipe them and then resell for cheap.
Windows is out of the question which leaves Linux but I need to make some kind of automated install ( oem install ) thus saving time for me and my colleagues and allow end user to set the system up their own way.
Several attempts has been done to do this on other distro's and each time the entire project ends up in deadlock due to a script not running at the end of the install.
The script in question simply installs a webbrowser choice app which pops up first logon for each user ( as required by local municipality standards )
As mentioned above, the help with fixing/running said script during the automated install has been ... missing... ( and help has been asked via several distros )
This is not about branding, all logo's and names will remain as is, I just need that app installed during oem install.
Giving this is about almost 1000PCs/year it should be fairly good adverticing to which ever dist manages to help me with this
The reason why I havent had the need for linux before is that we had a special deal with microsoft in terms of windows XP... which for some time now have been without support in any way, shape or form.

So to the question, again ( as stated at the top ), does Linux Lite support OEM/preseeding?

Hopefully within the next 2 weeks we will have native HTML5 support for Netflix in Linux Lite.

This is fantastic news as we currently have people install a wine wrapper to get it to work - that means lots of bloat on a 'lite' system Once the update hits the repo's I'll test and change the Netflix installer accordingly. Please note this will only work for the Chrome web browser so those that don't have it, the new script will install Chrome as a dependency and they will have to view Netfilx via Chrome.
