  Question About Boot Time
Posted by: lc6529 - 06-26-2020, 07:11 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Yet another question.  Last week I installed a "Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-1TB)" on my HP Pavilion 590-p0057c (32 Gig).  I also installed a 6 Terabyte Seagate 'Black' 7200 RPM drive.
I installed Linux Lite on the M.2 in ROOT and set HOME to the Seagate drive.  I also installed a USB 3.0 -> HDMI connector from StarTech that works quite well.

Meanwhile, I also installed an SSD drive in an older laptop and boosted it's memory to 16 gig and then loaded Linux Lite on it.

The laptop boots up fairly quickly, it takes less than 20 seconds.

The HP can take up to 2 minutes and was just curious if it's because it has to insure HOME is ok and it is checking the Seagate.

The slow boot time isn't a real concern...it does boot and once loaded all is good but I am curious if anyone has any ideas on how to get the HP to boot quicker since it would seem
that the M2 would boot quicker.

  Connecting an android phone to Linux Lite
Posted by: lc6529 - 06-26-2020, 03:29 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I don't mean for this to sound like a comparison 'whine' but I have a question about connecting an android phone to Linux Lite.

When I used Linux Mint and would connect up my android phone, I would be presented with an icon on the desktop denoting the phone and could transfer files to the SD Card in the phone.

On the exact same PC, which now runs Linux Lite, if I hook up my phone an application comes up to allow me to transfer photos.  Admittedly this is pretty slick but if given a choice I would rather be able to transfer files.

Any suggestions?

  Thumbnails not showing in Caja
Posted by: johnausten13 - 06-25-2020, 07:44 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Hello.

I just upgraded from LL 4.8 to LL 5.0 a few days ago. One of the changes that I usually do is to change my file manager from Thunar to Caja because the former (Thunar) doesn't have preview options that I prefer. After the upgrade, some thumbnails in Caja are not showing even if I set the same preview options at less than 10 MB :

Caja>Edit>Preferences>Preview>Other Previewable Files>Always show thumbnails>Only files smaller than 10 MB.

  Touchscreen/Soft keyboard/Gesture
Posted by: Marc Bonnier - 06-25-2020, 02:47 AM - Forum: Other - No Replies

Hi,

I search a bit on the forum but found nothing helping. Maybe is miss something? Please link me the topic!

I found an old HP Elitepad 1000 G2 and it was SOOOO slow and unusable. Since I always wanted to try Linux Lite, I gave it a shot with a lot of success. That tablet is usable again! Even better than a fresh windows 7 install.

I got some issue with the touchscreen:

  1. The touchscreen works to move the mouse but I don't see how to do a right click!
  2. Is it possible to have a soft keyboard showing up when a text field is active?
  3. Is there a way to setup gesture like, pinch to zoom/unzoom, double finger to scroll, etc. Like on typical tablet?

I saw (google) people talking about the software touchegg that give some options for touchscreen setup. Before I try some external software, I was looking for a possible builtin Linux Lite solution to keep it clean.

Anyone got a tablet working perfectly with the touchscreen? Is so, could you share your recipe?

Thanks!  Smile


Marc
