Hello everybody  ,

I am quite new to linux lite (using linux mint before) and I have a soundproblem with my integrated webcam, don't know if I am in the right place here. I am using guvcview as a software tool. My first attempts to record a video were quite successful, but ever since then, I get an awful noise as a result - as if the camera would now record very directly my computer's fans noise (I hope you get what I mean, I am German...). You can't even listen to the records :-( - sorry, I would not bother you with this if I would not have tried EVERYTHING to solve the problem. Yes, after my two initial records, I did try to improve the sound a little in general on the guvcview board, which may have caused the change?, although I tried to put it back to default afterwards. Does anyone have any idea? - Did I brake my webcam :-(?

Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated
Anais

Good day
I have tried Different distroies
and Linux-lite came through a magazine i asked my girlfriend to get me

I find very very comfortable Distro and easy to move around and get what u want
but i am completely new to Linux in General

So, Tutorials and Wakthroughs al my Specialty 
Love the Forum Themes BUT we need more 

Ok i was playing around with one of the Terminals i have Like the XFCE terminal

so i did this and now every time i open the terminal i get this ERROR

Pls see this video:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_Yzwtu...PGn2zNuLyU

Laptop: Fujitsu Lifebook S6420
CPU:  Intel® Core™2 Duo processor P8800 (2.66 GHz, 3 MB, 1066 MHz)
RAM: 4GB

As you can see from the short 50 second video, the installation process seems to be running, the cursor , on the bottom left corner, is seen circulating
It has been stuck at this screen for more than 15 hours !


please help me diagnose the problem(s), and let me know what to do next. Thanks

Thank u

Brand new to linux and I can't remember how to install software while running under a non admin account. My admin's name is billy-johnson but running

sudo -u billy-johnson apt install apt-transport-https curl

just prompts me for the sudo password for my current account (which doesn't exist because my current account is a limited account not a administrators)

I don't see any option in the mouse settings area about how to change this.  Thanks

(I keep hitting it accidentally while typing on my tiny netbook) 

Thank You

I'd like to set a system restore backup point, is there any way to do this without the first screen that pops up in Linux Lite?

I was trying to customize my taskbar and now it is shifted all the way to the left side, including my clock and battery percentage.  I tried to look up info online and only got answers that didn't help.  I got answers like: "use a separator" or "make sure automatically increase length is selected".  Those answers make sense, but I already have all that stuff set.

for example:
-I do have a separator set up just before the clock (to the the left of the battery area)
    (no matter where I put the separator, it doesn't help)
-I do have "automatically increase length selected in panel options (turning it on or off doesn't help)

ps- in the past when I had issues like this, I'd just reinstall the entire OS, but I'd very much like to make this work without a flippin' reinstall.  Just about every linux distro i've tried before gives me all kinds of problems like this, or something else.  I'm trying to set up this computer for a friend, but am now wondering if that's a good idea, if it breaks on me day one.

Thanks

Edit- I fixed it.  I just needed to try everything under the sun, but it now works.  I wish that things like this were more clear on how to use it on Linux distros
