  NeoFetch alternatives
Posted by: IsraEB - 06-12-2020, 03:17 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

I would like to have a cool logo on the terminal of linux lite, and the NeoFetch is pretty ugly for my taste

What other commands do you know?

  Mint Updater etc
Posted by: Mart - 06-11-2020, 06:04 PM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (2)

In the absence of Ralphy's customized version of the Mint Updater tool for Linux Lite, you can still run a version of the updater (not Ralphy's, though) courtesy of the Mint Tools website -

https://launchpad.net/~gm10/+archive/ubu...mint-tools

Just add the ppa using the command line (terminal) with the following -

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gm10/linuxmint-tools
sudo apt-get update

After adding the ppa, open Synaptic Package Manager and search for 'mintupdate'. Install and then reboot your system.

You can run the Mint Updater either through the whisker menu or by clicking on the 'shield' icon in the panel. If the shield icon doesn't appear automatically in the panel after rebooting your system, just add the item 'Notification Area' to the panel to make it appear.

And that's it - not as slick and as integrated as Ralphy's version (no colored shield icons, for instance) but it does run on LL.5.

For the lazy updater, there is also a great bash tool called Ucaresystem-core. You can download the .deb file from the app website -

https://launchpad.net/~utappia/+archive/.../+packages

Choose the  ucaresystem-core_4.4.0_all.deb (23. KiB3)  package file for 'Focal' and save it to downloads in your file manager.

Once you've installed the file using gdebi, you can run Ucaresystem-core either as a GUI app or open a terminal and just type 'ucaresystem-core', it's that simple.

After updating your system, Ucaresystem-core will not only automatically remove old, unneeded kernels, but it will also check to see if you need to reboot your system after installing updates. It's one of my favorite apps.

Enjoy  Smile

  Restore Taskbar
Posted by: valtam - 06-11-2020, 07:01 AM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (2)

Seems to be a problem that crops up from time to time. Will be a new feature in Lite Tweaks coming soon. In the meantime, here's how to restore a messed up taskbar to the originally installed state.

Open a Terminal:

Code:
xfce4-panel --quit
pkill xfconfd
rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/panel
rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

Code:
cp -R /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/panel ~/.config/xfce4/

  Browsers for old PCs
Posted by: Thaddeus_Pi - 06-11-2020, 02:23 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

Hi all

I need a list of browsers which can operate decently on old computers. I was using Brave  with widevine for netflix but having recently learned of issues with it I'd like to migrate to another browser. Firefox is my preference but it doesn't work properly as the systems don't have enough RAM.

Can anyone help? I need something that can run netflix and the like. Thanks!

  RAM usage
Posted by: Muhibbij Abad - 06-10-2020, 04:35 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (4)

Hello,

Great release!
However I noticed one minor detail that took my attention, the RAM usage.
In 4.8 version it was approximately 450MB and with 5.0 it is ~660MB in idle.
So what is a thing here? Is it something related to new kernel you are using, 5.4, or did you add some new background features?

I know, it may be pointed out in your release files, but I don’t really have time and intention to dig into it.
So I would be very touched if someone out there would explain me this issue.

Best regards,
Your BIG fan!
