I want to remove a partition loaded with another Linux distro. Been running dual boot for some time and want to use LL exclusively now. How can I delete the other partition and reclaim disk space for LL? Thanks for your help!

| Live- booted to Safe Mode from USB; safe to install? |

I've begun experimenting with Linux using an old Win 7 laptop. (1.6Ghz Intel Core i7; 4 MB ddr 3 RAM; 250 GB hard drive) I read about Linux Lite, and it sounded like the ideal blend of speed with a variety of features. I burned the downloaded iso to an 8 GB USB drive using Etcher, and booted the USB. Attempting to Start Linux Lite just produced a black screen, even after several re-tries, and I finally resorted to booting into Safe Mode. This quickly started the process, and the desktop is visible with a responsive menu and internet connection established. But, I have no idea why it was necessary to boot into the Safe Mode or how to find out, and I'm concerned that installing Linux Lite without knowing is unwise. How can I determine if it is safe to do so?
I'm am the newest of newbies with Linux (and a very old dog trying to learn this new trick). Than you for any help you can provide!

| How do I move historic Calendar entries from LL3.8 to the LL4 series |

Hi Everyone,
I've been using the Calendar app, also known as Gnome-Calendar, for my appointments, etc.
Some time soon, I'd like to upgrade LL from 3.8 to 4 series on the Dell (see signature), but without losing all my historic calendar entries. Within LL's File System, I'm unsure where to go to do this ...
As always, any feedback's much appreciated ...
Thanks 8)

| i386 package entries |

I'm getting update errors on and off on 4.2 because of i386 packages. Are i386 packages supposed to be showing up in /var/apt/lib/lists/ I have Debian on another disk on the same machine and nothing specifically i386 ever shows up there. On LL sometimes updates run okay and go through the i386 stuff with no effect. Other times it throws errors on the universe i386 repo. I've repaired it a couple different ways and got updates to run okay. I'm using the default mirror for the US. The system has no other PPAs installed than the LL defaults. No firmware except the standard AMD GPU package, and the RTL2800 package. There are no MII errors on the hardware either. The source list is correct as well, I think, unless AMD64 is supposed to be specified. It's not differentiated in the Debian /etc/sources list file, but I'm not sure if Ubuntu does differentiate. The LL system runs very well, but those i386 files should not be in the /lists/ files.
one way complete reload udo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*sudo apt-get update
another way with fixudo apt-get install -f
another way just deleted all the i386 package entries in /var/lib/apt/lists/and then run updates, but they returned after reboot of a successful update.
They still return no matter how I fix the situation, which seems indicative of an installer error during the original installation which went unreported, if they're not supposed to be there. If the i386 packages are not supposed to be showing up in /lists/ I'd like to remedy that, perhaps with lock or a blacklist or adding amd64 tag to sources. I'm used to Debian so I'm a little perplexed, as I've never had to deal with this kind of error on LL. Don't bother suggesting re-install. I don't roll that way, and I have too much time in this current installation already, on a machine which would never even install the 3.x series at all. I know this can be fixed I just can't figure it out safely. It is not the UEFI build, and neither is the Debian on the other disk.

| Low disk space notification? |
|

I find Linux Lite to be a great distro to give to friends and family with older hardware or who can't handle Windows (*cough* - viruses - *cough*). This means I'm frequently giving this to users who don't know how to maintain their own machines.
So I figured it might be nice to include a notification of some sort when disk space starts getting low so less technical users aren't as surprised when things start working....oddly.
From personal experience, I was thinking something like the following could be 'alerted' if free disk space gets below 1G:
Quote:Your disk is running low on space (currently on X left available) which may cause some tasks, such as installing updates, to fail. Please consider freeing up some space soon such as by running Lite Tweaks or getting rid of unnecessary files.
Any thoughts on this? (Assuming this hasn't already been suggested or implemented (I didn't see it when I searched.)
Thanks!
Jon-Mikel

| Where do nautilus scripts go ? |

Hello,
it says to add nautilus scripts here -
Code: ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/
there is no nautilus directory in the share directory, I have tried creating the nautilus directory in share directory, and the scripts directory inside this, nautilus doesn't pick up the scripts, (it doesn't add "scripts" to its right click context menu on a file in Documents directory of Home directory, so a script can be selected from this to run on the selected file/s).

| How To Get The Default Whisker Menu Back? |

As a result of messing up my Panel, I have lost the default start menu. I had deleted everything and then added icons as needed. Basically, started over. So I added the Whisker Menu, but it is different than what you get on install. The categories and apps are reversed for one thing, but even worse, the ability to see apps when you hover over the category is gone, you have to click on the category to see them. Is there a way to get the original back?
