| Think about changing an old desktop computer's battery |

Was reading the forum this morning about selling Linux Lite on refurbished laptops. JesusLinux mentioned about changing the battery on refurbished computers:https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-topic/linux-lite-branded-laptop/msg46021/?topicseen#msg46021I just wanted to mention that if you are using a computer that is around 10 years old, you might want to think about it anyway. A family member gave me a Lenovo M58p they were having trouble with. The BIOS needed to be updated as it was way out of date. But the big clue was that when the power was disconnected from the computer the BIOS date would revert back to 2009. The date the computer was manufactured. The clues were there, and the answer was simple. The CMOS/BIOS battery needed to be changed. Here's the good news if you're thinking about doing it. The batteries are cheap to buy. They are standard 3 volt coin batteries. In North America you can buy them at Dollar Tree, Dollararma, etc. Three to a pack for $1.00 - $1.25. On an older Lenovo or HP Compaq it takes longer to get the battery out of the package than it takes to change it. So if you're using an older desktop, something to think about. Laptops would be a little trickier. Web search time.

| Two part Question About Dual Booting |

I currently have Lite and Kubuntu on same hard drive. I have found that I prefer Lite. If I get rid of Kubuntu, and expand the Lite partition to the whole hard drive, how can I make sure Lite will still boot OK? Currently, Kubuntu "owns" Grub as it did the last update for it.
Second part: I am also going to replace Kubuntu with Lite on my wife's laptop. Email isn't working right on Kubuntu so she isn't using it. If I just manually install Lite to the partition that Kubuntu is on, will that work? By work I mean, will both Lite and Windows 7 boot?

If your getting the following error message during updates in 3.x:
Code: W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu xenial InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F
W: Failed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Fix with the following:
Code: wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key && sudo apt-key add winehq.key && sudo apt update
Then run Install Updates again.

tax time around the corner, looking for a new printer, scanner(all in one).
that uses separate cartridges, black cartridge, one cartridge for each color cartridge.
total number of cartridges "4".
why ?, because if you run out of one of the 3 colors that are in one cartridge , it becomes a head ache.
my budget $$$ ,is 100.00 dollars or less, plus i hoe the cartridges are refillable , i actually done that before, in years past.
i am using linux lite 4.2.
i say thanks to every one who replies , hugs.

| File associations with Wine programs |

Hello, I have two type of files XEX and HYP that use two different Wine programs.
But when I try to open a HYP it uses the program for XEX.
If I change the file association to the program for HYP, then the XEX tries to use that program so it is a loop.
Is this a wine issue or linux lite issue? How can I straighten this out?

| LL4.2 load time (5min+ No V Box) is 16 times longer than LL3.8 -ToshibaSatellite |

LL4.2 load time (5min+ No V Box) is 16 times longer than LL3.8
I have attached a page showing errors that appear during loading.
I am another Linux Newbie, and loved LL3.8. Unfortunately, LL4.x to date is a great disappointment.
On an SSD I have to wait 16 times as long for LL4.x to load as LL3.8 as timed from GRUB to Desktop.
Virtual Box services have been removed as recommended and no longer, show in systemd-analyze blame.
I own a Toshiba Satellite A200-06V made around 2007. Vista era.
CPU=Intel Core2Duo T5250 @1.5GHz, I have upgraded from HDD to SSD and RAM from 1GB to 4GB.
Storage device load times > (NOTE: LL4.2 has V Box services removed)
HDD SSD
LL3.8 0 min. 54sec. 0 min. 18sec. (SSD takes 33% of time of HDD)
LL4.2 334sec. (5min.34sec.) 293sec. (4min.53sec.) (SSD takes 88% of time of HDD)
With LL4 the HDD/SSD activity light shows remarkably little activity – mostly none at all.
I then tried an installation of LL4.x on a Dell Vostro_1400 (2x Intel Core2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz). The results were similar to those above.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Finally I installed LL4.2 in an HP Pavilion dv6500 (dv6627ca) laptop with dreamed of results - Fabulous.
This has an AMD chipset. CPU=AMD Turion 64x2 TL-58 @ 1.9GHz, RAM=2GB
The HDD activity light was very busy. Load times from grub to desktop were:
Storage device load times > (NOTE: LL4.2 has V Box services removed)
HDD SSD
LL3.8 68 sec. 18 sec.
LL4.2 76 sec. 21sec (Not the 293 sec. 4m:53sec with the Toshiba\Intel chipset)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
LL4.x runs beautifully on both computers once it has loaded but who will wait 5+ min. for the OS to load.
Last September I visited a local Linux Community group. Three Linux sages concluded that it was a Kernel problem vis-à-vis my Intel chipset and that my problem would probably be resolved with updates before very long. I have updated the Kernel from 4.15.0-24-generic #26-Ubuntu to 4.16.0 to 4.17.0 to 4.20.0 (Lite Tweaks) with no noticeable improvement in load time.
I know this problem is not unique but I have not found an answer to my problem in this Forum.
I tried this below as best as I could. Neither 1 nor 2 made any difference.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/893817/b...per-errors
Advice on this subject would be much appreciated, as I would dearly love to be able to use LL4.x
Thanks In anticipation.

| Is it possible to resize root partition? |

Hello.
My system is working properly, it is a LL 4.2 installation, and the partitioning is:
Device Description
------------- --------------------------
/dev/sda1 Boot, Ext4
/dev/sda2 Root, Ext4
/dev/sda3 Home, Ext4
/dev/sda4 Misc_storage, NTFS
I need to resize my root partition, but I guess it can't be done on a running system.
I know it could be resized by booting from a Live USB drive, but won't this mess up my installation, preventing it from boot?
I don't want to change the partitioning, I just need to allocate more space for said partition. Additional space is available on the same drive.
Can you guys recommend what to do?
Thanks!
