After finally installing Linux Lite to my ancient Dell Optiplex 740 today, I went ahead and installed Steam. After that, via steam, I tried to install the game that I play on windoze. Champions of Regnum. I didn̈́'t hold out much hope that it would work as a previous Ubuntu install failed to run it. LL runs it fine!
So anyone looking for a full feature game that is totally free to play should certainly give it a try.

Hi, all -

I've just started using Linux Lite, and this is my first post here: I have a little problem! 

My neighbours gave me an old E-System Sorrento laptop which they frankly said wasn't much cop even when it was new, but it turns out to be perfectly adequate for occasional use -- once it has a lightweight Linux distro on it.  It has an Intel Celeron C900 single-core processor, and integrated graphics: I tried a live session of Linux Lite, and installed.

The live session defaulted to a resolution of 1024-768 at 61Hz, which was perfect; but the install uses 640x480, and I can't change it.

Running xrandr gives me 640x480 as the only option.

I attach a copy of system-info output.

I'd be very grateful for any help: I'd really like to use this distro on this system, and as it stands it's not really usable!

I keep getting this error now in v1.0.6 I'm trying to delete files off my USB stick, it's formatted with the exFAT file system. If I hold down SHIFT+DEL the error comes up but the file is gone. Is there a way to fix this?
Another thing, how to disable automount, I don't want to have my USB stick or eternal harddrive opening the contents as soon as it's plugged in.

Thanks.

Hey, all.  Just want to give an update to my Linux experience so far. After trying Linux Lite 1.0.6, 1.0.8, 2.0, then Peppermint OS 5, Linux Mint 17 XFCE, & Puppy Linux, I have found my perfect OS for my Netbook. Linux Lite 1.0.6 - This version by far is the best for my Netbook. Everything about it is faster and the menu opens so fast and fluid. 2.0 was very good, but did not suit my Netbook. Love the OS, but 1.0.6 is best for me. It even boots 1-2 secs faster than my Win 7 PC with a 500GB ssd . Thanks to all for making a fantastic version of Linux. I just wish in the future all game developers would make their PC games for Linux and Windows at the same time. I'm a gamer so I use my Win 7 PC. If they would just make all the Win 7 games available for Linux without Wine I would change to Linux for my main PC in an instant.

Sure there is a good reason but just wondering why Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu rather than directly on Debian?

Just as I thought I had got my Lite 2 sorted I found a new hiccup !

I use Google Chrome Browser and it plays You Tube Flash Videos normally .

If I try to watch BBC News videos -- Sound is normal but the video  only shows occasional good still frames .
The BBC Flash Video Player looks  a bit  different to the You Tube one

I've discovered a bug in lightdm after a fresh install of Linux Lite. The current script for enabling and disabling autologin uses the following path:

I cannot install Google Chrome or Wine at all, when i try it says it just failed to install. Can someone please help me. Also how do you change the login and loading picture. another question I have is; do you need an anti-virus for Linux Lite, and if you do which one?  ;D
