    Hi, I have a friend how is looking into Linux and moving away from Windows.  LXLE is one of the Distro's I gave him to check out to make him more comfortable in the transition.  He is currently just using the live version to see which distro he like's. I know you change the Paradigm on the login window, but what is the password to get back in.  

    I will be installing LXLE on a laptop in the near future,  I like what I have seen so far.  Thanks. Bill

    the login on the livecd is whatever the loginwindow title/username is....

    example.  lxle120432 or lxle120464

    there is no password so you just leave it blank

    Thanks. I have passed the info on to my friend,  He wants to move away from windows but he is having a hard time making that plunge.

    I would go with LInux Mint or Zorin for a first time user coming from Windows. LXLE is really geared toward older computers and those that aren't completely clueless about anything computer related.

    He has an older laptop, that is why I suggested LXLE but I also suggested Zorn and Mint as well.  We both belong to a garden tractor forum and so we have been PM'ing back and forth and he seems to be picking things up pretty quick.   Thanks again for the help.

    doesn't work for me it goes to user other and won't accept that password. I figured a workaround. I made a new user -me and set a password for me then I can logout and login with user me and try the different options.Should be an easier way for newbies though.

    @cmcanulty   I know exactly what you mean, as I had the same experience.  But it was, in the end, something I wasn't paying close attention to.   There truly is no password.   Just takes a moment to figure out where and how to enter the provided username.  I kept putting it in the wrong box. Different boxes may be invoked.  Hope that helps.

    New paradigm question: in 14.04 (64-bit) I only have one option, "Other". I didn't have this problem in 12.04. I'm booting off a live USB. Acer Aspire 5100 series. Anyone got any ideas?  Thanks!

    Running 14.04 in live mode will not switch paradigms any longer due to a massive configuration change to Lubuntu, I actually had trouble getting paradigms to work at at all. Paradigm switching is only available on an installed system with 14.04
