Hi!
I would like to ask you, whether is possible to create Linux Lite backup (with data, existing software and configuration) and restore this on new fresh Linux Lite copy on another computer?
I have tried do this with Systemback, this program can create "system live create", but how to restore data on new system copy from this "system live create" iso? It is possible?
Thanks in advance for help!
Regards,
Gero

| Pulse audio fix for some |

I have tested this fix on 3 different motherboards and it seems to fix. Here is the issue, start playing a youtube video from chrome or chromium. Stop then try playing a video or audio file with vlc. Vlc gives an error about not finding "default" sound. The fix is to adjust a client.conf file in the /etc/pulse/ folder. You can also put the client.conf file into the /home/$USERNAME$/.config/pulse. I'm showing the client.conf file and also attaching it. You will need to restart the sound server or just restart the computer after you make these changes. If pulse is not started then this can be done immediately.
code to check pulse audio is running:
Now the file:

| Super Lite Mode for Lite Tweaks |
|

I'm thinking of introducing a new feature to Lite Tweaks called Super Lite Mode.
What this effectively does is kill all but the necessary process on Linux Lite, including:
- All open windows and applications
- All unnecessary processes
- Copy & paste functions
What stays running:
- The desktop
- Sound services
- Graphics services
- Firewall (if enabled)
- Menu, Taskbar etc
This will be useful especially for older computers and gamers who want as few processes interfering with game performance as possible.
Before starting, please note how much ram is currently being used via Menu, System, Resource Usage, and please report back with the information next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G
If you'd like to test this, please do the following:
Open a terminal, do:
Code: sudo apt-get install wmctrl
Code: leafpad superlitemode
Copy the following into the file and save it:
Code: #!/bin/bash
# Linux Lite - Super Lite Mode Script
# Developer - Jerry Bezencon
# Website - http://www.linuxliteos.com
ps aux | grep -ie VBox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie Thunar | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie blueman | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie applet.py | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie tumblerd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie light-locker | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie xfce4-power-manager | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie obexd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
# Close all open windows gracefully without closing the Desktop environment
# Credit - Guido van Steen: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/145752/how-to-kill-all-open-windows
WIN_IDs=$(wmctrl -l | grep -vwE "Desktop$|xfce4-panel$" | cut -f1 -d' ')
for i in $WIN_IDs; do wmctrl -ic "$i"; done
# Keep checking and waiting until all windows are closed (you probably don't need this section)
while test $WIN_IDs; do
sleep 0.1;
WIN_IDs=$(wmctrl -l | grep -vwE "Desktop$|xfce4-panel$" | cut -f1 -d' ')
done
Code: chmod +x superlitemode
To run it in LL 3.4, just double click on the superlitemode file.
Then please ONLY open Menu, System, Resource Usage, and please report back with the information next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G
WARNING: This will close all open windows including your web browser.
So, a typical reply to this thread would include:
Before superlitemode: 345/1.95G
After superlitemode: 259/1.95G (+ windows that remained open, if any)
Looking forward to all your feedback.
Many thanks

Hello,
I think LL team may use fund-raising model similar to that of Linux Mint(LM). LM basically has sponsorship schemes, viz. platinum, gold, silver, and casual(I guess). Each of these have a certain amount to be donated to LM and certain other conditions that LM satisfies, example, for platinum sponsorship- LM shows name of sponsor on some predetermined areas on website or OS. The sponsors pay a monthly donation, which keeps the project alive.
Thanks.

| Advice please for external hard drive format? |

Hi, I'm expecting my external hard drive to arrive soon. I'm asking if anyone has advice on what formatting I should do? This is my situation:
1. I plan to use external hard drive to store my user data (by which I mean everything under my home directory). It's mainly documents etc.
2. If I had to use the backup, it would be in the event of my data being destroyed, e.g. hard drive failure, etc etc. It's mostly for catastrophic recovery.
3. I do not care about my system files or the OS as much. If I had to, I would simply re-install LinuxLite from live CD, so if there was an issue with the OS itself I don't care as much as I would for my documents.
4. I have 2 LinuxLite machines available to me for recovery (desktop and laptop). However, I would like the drive to ideally be also readable by Windows 10 (in addition to LinuxLite). If that's not possible, then just readable by LinuxLite would be OK.
How do you recommend I format this drive? Would FAT32 work out OK for this, or is it best to use one of the Linux-specific formats? As you can probably tell by my question I know nothing about this topic, which is why I'm asking. I just want to make sure my backup strategy is a good fit for my needs if I need to recover data from it. Thanks for any help you can give.
