What's up guys, this is my first forum topic, so sorry if i posting in the wrong place of forum.
I have a not very good notebook, which I would like to use again, but this time with linux. After some testing with other distributions (which did not recognize the video driver or the network driver), I did some research and opted for Linux Lite. After the installation, I have some problems, which are:
-The icons that were on the desktop when I installed it, are gone (Not a big problem, but it might be useful for you).
-The computer is too slow. When i use firefox, 96% of my CPU gone, open any window is slow, and when i installed firefox in my language, the firefox icon dont appeared.
-The computer don't reboot (a bugged pixels screen appears) and takes a lot of time to Boot Up.
Well guys, if any of you can help me, i will be VERY GREATFUL. Sorry for my bad english. I'm brazilian.
My notebook specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 T5500 1.66Ghz
RAM: 2GB
Last version of Linux Lite.
Not video card.

I'm running Linux Lite 3.8 on a Dell Latitude E6500. I recently purchased a Canon TR8520 multi-function printer. Canon provides Debian package print and scanner drivers. I Installed both without issue. I can print to the printer just fine, however simple scan reports no scanners found when you open it. It doesn't matter if the printer is connected via the wireless network or directly via a USB cable. I have the same issue with my Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE Lenovo Thinkpad as well. Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I recently acquired some old hardware for free. I'm taking the A+ exam soon and was just wanting a system to mess around with for some hands on experience.
The station is a Dell Dimension B110 with these specs:
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.53 GHz
RAM: 256 MB DDR SDRAM @333 MHz
BIOS Version: A01
Not sure on the motherboard model. (If someone could tell me how to find it, I'd really appreciate it!)
It came with an 80 GB HDD, however after listening for awhile I quickly learned that it was shot. So, being that Windows XP was on that hard drive and I don't have access to an install CD I found Linux Lite. I downloaded Linux Lite 3.8 32-bit from the linuxliteos website under the "Linux Lite 3.8 Final Released" thread by Jerry. I burned the .iso file to a 32 GB USB drive using a software called Etcher, creating a bootable drive. Popped the USB into my older machine and booted into the Linux lite installer. Started the install, but after the yellow feather splash screen it displays a bunch of code that I don't understand. https://imgur.com/KuCFRRW
Some threads I saw suggested the USB port and/or the system itself isn't getting enough power: I moved it to 3 different outlets and tried every USB port in the front and back and still the same thing. Oh, and the only things I have plugged into the motherboard is a USB keyboard and a VGA cable. I also ran memtest86 and the tests came back clear, tried running it in safe mode and it just goes in cirlces between the installer and Dell splash screen, and I've tried 2 other stations of similar specs and the same thing happens. The common theme between all of them is that none of them have hard drives.
I was thinking maybe since the system doesn't have a hard drive, the OS doesn't have anywhere to install to. So I went and bought a second 32 GB USB drive in hopes that the OS would install to it but alas; it still persists. Does every computer require a hard drive to install the OS to? I would prefer not to have to get another hard drive, so if there's a way around it that'd be awesome.

| System never updated after restoring Lite 3.8 |

Funny thing happened tonight. August 2nd 2018 after a restoring. from a bunch of errors in package manager after installing something in Linux Lite 3.8 told me my system was never updated afterwards. I had updated Monday July 30th 2018 and used backup from that same day after update using system back thought it weired as never had a OS say such a thing in Windows or other wise. May be a bug with 16.04 base? Anyway everything is there after a backup., and as far as I know 18.04 is buggy at moment so not moving over just yet if at all. We will see. Why would the system say that? New.

| A small reminder / notifier script for LL |
|
Posted by: kpanic - 08-02-2018, 07:04 PM - Forum: Scripting and Bash

Hi folks,
I was searching for a lightweight package to give me desktop notifications but
then I noticed that all the necessary things are already in the LL installation,
I just needed a small wrapper script to make things easier.
The script is general purpose - it may be launched from basically any application
and I use it to send messages to the desktop in case the processor, graphics card
or hard-drives are close to their acceptable temperature maximum. Also, I use it
in similar kinds of error-related situations and even send me a "time to go to bed"
message, since I often forget it 
I don't know if you find this script useful, but here it is if you want to try it.
The installation is as simple as copying the script to some directory and that's
it basically - here are the detailed instructions for testing:
1. Copy the script to the clipboard, open an empty text file and paste it there.
Save the file into your home directory and give it some name, for example "lite-remind"
2. Make the script executable: Code: chmod 755 ~/lite-remind
3. Create a a small text file, which has 3 short lines in it. The first line will be "Subject" of the
message and the following two lines will be the message body - keep it short and simple.
Save it as "msg.txt" into your home directory.
4. Try the script: Open the command line and command: Code: ~/lite-remind information ~/msg.txt
6. Try again, but replace the word 'information' with the word 'warning' or 'error'
And here is the script: ( The ionice / nice parts from LL update notify script, thanks to [member=2]Jerry[/member] and the LL Team! )
Code: #!/bin/bash
# lite-remind v0.1
# A notification script for Linux Lite by kpanic, 2018
# Thanks to Linux Lite Team!
# Reads a message file and shows it on the desktop for
# a couple of seconds using notify-send(1).
#
# Call with two arguments:
# @param1: 'information', 'warning' or 'error'
# @param2: The location of the message file.
#
# Example: lite-remind warning /home/kpanic/message.txt
#
# The first line of the message file will be shown as
# the subject of the message. The lines 2 and 3 will
# be shown as the body of the message. The lines should
# not exceed 28 characters. Keep it short! :)
#
# The first parameter (information, warning or error)
# is the "type" of the message. This affects to which
# icon will be shown with the message. It also affects
# to the scheduling urgency.
#
#

# Scheduling class (3 = Idle)

| Why can't I launch applications from MenuLibre and can from terminal? |

Hello
I am trying to launch an application from a shell script (was provided with the app) and it works flawlessly
When I tried to add this as a launcher in MenuLibre, it won't launch and won't say anything..
I'm guessing it's related to the user or group but I'm not sure..
The app is AwesomeBump
The script content is:
Code: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=`pwd`
./AwesomeBump
And 'AwesomeBump' is a binary that actually runs the program..
