Hello All,

Wow, I am only a few hours into Linux Lite and I can tell you from all my distro hopping that this is the best distro of any I have tried! I have gone through about 15 distros and was looking for something lightweight but beautiful and configurable and LL fills the bill in so many ways. Thank you so much to the developer and his team for all their hard work and for such a tremendous distro. I will be recommending and installing this on every one of my user's systems when they are looking for a change from Windows/Mac. This is my go to distro and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

Installed properly from USB to sata drive,
on reboot 1.0.8 refused to start X
dead stop.
releases need to be tested on REAL machines and not virtual machines.

I'd file this under bugs but I am blocked. That pisses me off

tried to install 1.0.8 onto notebook with hard drive pre partitioned
sda2 was set for / and to be formatted to ext4
sda3 was set for /DATA and preformatted  as ntfs
ubiquity refused to continue.

that's a show stopper if one has data they want to be kept while migrating away from microsoft.
I hate M$ with a passion!

I tried to register to report bugs but was blocked.
I tried to register to the forum but was delayed for hours.
If this the policy then say so up front on the site.

Noticed that when running the script 'Install Updates' it re-downloads the same manual every time. Shouldn't
the script check to verify what version is installed?

I have seen Linux videos where the desktop image was animated.
I have tried;
A-Desk and livewallpaper.
I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
A-desk said right click on desktop and to to script, couldn't find that. So I uninstalled that.
I extracted livewallpaper, now I'm just confused. :-\
Please and thank you.
Cheers.

EDIT 7/22/2014:  removed The Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide from list -- seems to no longer work properly as pointed out by Dookus.  Added Linux-Bible to the list after seeing post by NewYorker.

EDIT 3/29/15:  as noted by N4RPS, Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide site is working again, so added back on to the list.

My GRUB is messy, especially after installing PAE kernel, now i have to go to "Previous Versions" submenu and boot LL from there.
Is there any way to remove all these Memtests, Recovery Modes and such to keep it nice and clean.
Since i have XP Dual boot, i would like my GRUB to look like this:

Linux Lite
Windows XP

pls point me in right direction 

Hi,
After installation and update of LL, i can't find native resolution of my monitor in Settings->Display.
My monitor's native resolution is 1360x760-75 Hz
in Settings->Display there is a lot of resolutions on list but not my native.
Currently it is set to 1366x768-59.8 Hz and right border of screen is cut off few pixels.
Driver is probably installed correctly since i can play 720p videos in .mp4 and .mkv formats fullscreen
Is there any way to set res. and refresh rate manually?

I have a HP deskjet 2540, I had issues with the scanner being detected so I installed hplip and now it will not even detect my printer and scanner at all with my usb connection so I cant finish installing my printer/scanner . What did I do wrong?
The printer is still detected when i plug it into my xp computer so its not the cord or the printer.
