My setup is very simple. All my computers are connected to my router, and my NAS is connected to the same router. (IP range is from 192.168.0.xxx)I am trying to access a NAS (HDD) on my local network, as for now I cannot... I am wondering if someone can give me...

My problem is; with my computer running Linux Lite, I cannot see my NAS (or any shared folder in my other computers), which are running WIndows.

With WIndows computers, it is very easy, I see my NAS and my other computers in my Network, and I can access them without any problem.

With my computer with Linux Lite, which I am testing, I have not found a way to see my NAS (and other computers) and access it.

I have read - https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/netwo...l#lintowin (Accesing WIndows shares with Linux Lite)
When I type smb://192.168.0.15 (which is the IP address of my NAS, I get "Failed to open "FIle System" Failed to retreave share list from server. Software caused connection abort."
So, I can't go further..

By the way, in my setup, all the PC's in my network can access my NAS and the shared folders in my computers without a password.

I presume something is missing in my Linux Lite setup or I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what I am doing wrong...

Although, I installed Linux Lite a few years ago,  I have not been using it since then. So, I don't know much about Linux in general. I am trying to learn... So, if someone can give me some guidance, I would really appreciate.
Thank you.]]>

Dual boot system.  Linux Mint, Linux Lite.  

The updated Nvidia drivers messed up my MINT, and through some help from their forum I was able to repair it.  But now when I try to boot to LITE I am unable because of a problem with Nvidia drivers.  I am totally lost and hope that I might get help repairing it so I don't have to do a fresh install.

I CAN access the LITE file system using MINT.

Thank you]]>

At the moment, I’m using Read Aloud and ReadX TTS extensions in Chrome and Edge, which sound much better than eSpeak or Festival—but they don’t always work consistently.

Does anyone know of a good TTS desktop program for Linux that supports clipboard reading?]]>

When choosing this option a pop-up window appears:

Selecting "Install NTP support" results in:

I noticed that Linux Lite is not using the Ubuntu default systemd-timesyncd.service but ntpd. So ntp is actually installed.

So are users expected to just ignore this setting while synchronization has been implemented in Linux Lite by default?]]>

Is it still safe security wise to use version 5.4 ?

How do versions 6.4 and 7.4 differ from version 5.4 ?

It looks like the website no longer has a shop that sells the USB boot drives for later versions ?
So a download from the website is the only option to get a later version ?]]>

Ik heb in mijn Home een map X11 staan in de map bin. Als ik dubbelklik op deze map komt er nog een tevoorschijn met exact dezelfde bestanden als die in de eerste map staan... zijn er zo'n 2945 stuks... In de map X11 staat wederom een map X11 met wederom dezelfde 2945 bestanden... en dat gaat zo 39 keer door... Weet iemand misschien hoe ik hieraan kom en beter nog, hoe ik eraf kom? Mijn schijf in de laptop is maar 128 GB en daar zit ik zo doorheen als dit doorgaat...

Before the update, my VPN connection was stable and worked perfectly fine. Now, after the update, the VPN disconnects randomly every few minutes.
I've tried different VPN servers and protocols, but the issue persists. I've also checked my firewall settings and network configuration, but everything seems to be in order.
I'm using OpenVPN with the Network Manager plugin. I've also tried using the command line to connect to the VPN, but the issue remains the same.
Here's what I've tried so far:
* Restarting my computer and network devices.
* Reinstalling the OpenVPN client and Network Manager plugin.
* Checking my firewall settings.
* Trying different VPN servers and protocols.
* Using the command line to connect to the VPN.
I'm not sure what else to try. Has anyone else experienced this issue after the last update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
