Hi all, I saw the directions on how to set up a "daily" cron TRIM.  But how do set up a weekly? I have always used the discard entry with noatime, but I see it's not so good to use. I have tried LL 3.0 while it's awesome, my netbook seems a bit slower. I find LL 1.0.6 is the best fit for it. I Have tried so many distro's of Linux but 1.0.6 feels so awesome Any help would be appreciated on the weekly trim Thanks all and awesome job on LL 3.0

Dear LL Users

I am completly new here and I hope to get help.

I was happy to found an system that directly recognizes the bluetooth speaker and connect it AD2D sink. Overall Linux Lite seems for me easy.

All other distris didn't. I wanted to install it now on HD but after "preparing hardware" the installer crashed and installation stopped.

I tried LL 2.8 and it finalized the installation without problems - but (as by all other Ubuntu Derivate) Bluetooth speaker connection fails.

I want to use 3.0 but what can I try to finalize the installation successfull
Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english.

Ah... my system "Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook - E8310 with Centrino Duo" 4GB RAM
I know not the newest one but I want to use this Laptop only for playing music via the bluetooh speaker. For this it would be really sufficient.

So thanks for help as far as possible
Best Regards
Dietmar

edit: I tried as well 64bit version - same result - were can I found the log file of installation process? Or is it send automatically to an specified address?

[size=1.35em]I read the linked article. My driver, AMD Radeon HD 7560D, is not listed. It is a build-in graphics in my processor, A10-6700. The latest recommendation is I have seen is by AJ Reissig. He has recommendations at http://ajreissig.com/eliminate-screen-te...-graphics/ and http://ajreissig.com/eliminate-screen-te...-graphics/

I have not noticed any screen tearing other than when I view You Tube videos that are suppose to be tests to show if you have it or other video problem just using the driver picked by Linux Lite. I am inclined to leave well enough alone. I do not like all the busy effects of Compiz so do not particular want to clutter up my computer with it for that solution.

Any recommendations?  [img alt=:-\]https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/Smileys/default/undecided.gif[/img][/size]

I am a total newb on the Linux side, but have loaded Linux Lite multiple times with success.  I have read through some posts and the Ubuntu Wiki for testing audio issues.  But I am not quite sure if I am headed down the right path. Here is what I know.  It is not muted, the audio that should be laying moves the blue bar in the volume control.  What is strange is the outputs, both headphones and line out, are followed by (UNPLUGGED) in the drop down. 

I have ran the system report and the section that shows, sound has this listed.

But after that I tried checking for the proper drivers and started to get lost...  Any help would be great.  Trying to give this older laptop another chance for my grandmother.  Thanks!

This is all very minor, and I'm not going to do much, if anything, to rectify it, but I wanted to cite the situation, especially as one aspect of it also happened on 2.6-2.8.


About two weeks ago, instead of the standard LL 3.0 splash screen, I began getting my desktop wallpaper. Just the wallpaper; no icons, widgets or anything else. This is fine with me, the WP is easier on the eyes top of the morning than the yellow splash, but I can see how it could be a privacy problem for some.


Now, just today, while booting up, instead of the "Linux Lite 3.0" progress screen the system reverted to the purple "ubuntu 16.04" screen. This happened to me on the previous install as well. It seemed to occur when I switched to the proprietary nVidia video driver, but that could be a coincidence. I've been running that driver on 3.0 since the beginning, several weeks now, and this didn't happen until right now.


Finally, on boot down, a couple of weeks ago, for two days the machine would not boot down completely, and I had to force it down from a blinking cursor on a black screen. That rectified itself, but since then I get a fleeting error message on a black screen that says something like "could not initialize OM; ignoring...", and then the machine shuts down successfully.


Nothing major, but I thought the feedback might be useful.

I've installed the most recent LL updates but it didn't update VLC to the latest build (I'm still on 2.1.6 and I think 2.2.4 is out).  I have a few videos that have some issues playing and I need to update VLC to fix them.

How do I update VLC?

Can I get some advice on how to securely transfer files using a GUI please?

I've installed a Ubuntu 14.04 server.  I can SSH from my Linux Lite client to the server no problem.  I am using a non-standard TCP port and I'm using a password (SSH keys didn't work out well for me).

Reading online, advice was to try Nautilus and Filezilla.  I installed Nautilus via "Install/Remove Software" but it doesn't seem to be present in any of the menus.  I also tried Filezilla but I can't seem to get it to work as it looks like it expects SSH keys.

What software are you all using to transfer files securely from your Linux Lite clients to Linux servers (using a non-standard TCP port)? 

NB: These are all running in Virtualbox VMs but I don't think that's an issue as I have all other services talking to each other.

I see some Ubuntu Inkscape installs but is there any specifically prepared for linux lite 2.6.  I'm not a full time linux user and not really sure which version of Ubuntu Linux Lite is built on, I assume if I choose the correct version for Ubuntu it should install into Linux LIte 2.6  NO?

Thanks in advance

Hi folks! I run a video webseries where I spend every week testing out a distro, & then give my impressions of it. For yesterday's episode, I decided to take a look Linux Lite 3.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJqiCrNrGVY

If you have any feedback on this video, please do type it into the comments section of this video.

Have a good day.

Hi guys,
