Can somebody explain to me what is going on? I have 2 usb 2.0 sticks..32 and 64gb, both formatted as fat32.

When i use them on laptop and copy or paste something to them it is extremely slow. It starts and then after 10-15 seconds it stops, sometimes for 10-15 seconds but it can last 5-10 minutes, nothing happening then, both sticks show activity but nothing is copied or pasted over to them. After some time it starts again and then the same over again after a few seconds. You should think that when it starts you see the amount of data transferred being changed but no, it just picks up were it stopped. Looks like linux is running out of breath when transferring files and needs to take a break before being able to continue.

The speed is also extremely slow, i got max speed of 2Mb/sec if i am lucky, most of the times i don't even get 1Mb/sec.
At the moment i am trying to copy 15GB of pictures and video to the 64GB stick..speed..215kB/sec..says it will take 20 hours


Stopped the copy because the speed dropped to 15kB/sec. I dont know what is the problem, but i only have it with both sticks in linux, i even installed a fresh copy of windows and both sticks worked at 28Mb/sec without stopping.

Hello Linux Lite friends.

I have this weird problem that keeps bugging me. When start my machine it sometimes just shows me a black screen with a mouse pointer
I can fix it but its a lot of hassle.

This is what i need to do to fix the problem:
press ctrl-alt-F1
login at command prompt.
sudo stop lightdm
startxfce4
then im back at the desktop, i reboot.
Now in some cases this will fix it, how ever sometimes it doesn't.

If it did fix it i do:
ctrl-atl-F1
login at prompt.
sudo stop lightdm
remove my xfce config.(rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4)
startxfce4
That wil show me my desktop again. I reboot.

After startup:
Then i do a restore of a backup i made, this fixes most all my settings except for the panels.

Can any one tell me where to look for the problem? Why are my xfce settings causing problems?
I have the following running:
conky, shiki theme, cpu-graph plugin, weather plugin.

Just signed up to plumb the depths of your collective knowledge.  I'm sure I can get LL to work for me, but I'm struggling.

I don't think it's entirely me.  I started my career working with SunOS 4.1 and I was a Sun Certified System Administrator for Solaris at one point.  So I don't have a problem with the operating system per se - I just can't seem to get it to do completely what I want.

I'm sure you lot will sort me out.

Cheers,
Jez.

A few years ago I bought myself a little Intel Atom PC (A Zotac Z-Box) to sit next to my TV and act as both a central file server and for playing various media on the telly.  I really wanted it to be Linux powered and I put Linux Lite on it.  I had a terrible struggle trying to get the audio out through the HDMI and on top of that, hardly any media streamed across the internet worked.  I persevered for a few months but eventually threw in the towel and put Windows on it, which, for all its flaws, just worked.

Being a good netizen, I kept my machine updated.  With Windows 8 it started to feel the strain and when I offered it up as the sacrificial lamb for my first Windows 10 upgrade, well...the upgrade went fine and I actually quite like Windows 10 (what little I managed to experience of it)...but it was a step too far for the little machine and it was rendered useless.

So I've come back to have yet another stab at Linux.  I liked Linux Lite before so I tried it again.  So far I've just used Live mode from the USB, but it does seem to have come along.  It only took a couple of minutes to get the HDMI audio sorted, and not a command line in sight (not that this bothers me).

What's more, most of the internet video works.

But not all of it. Notably, Netflix still doesn't "just work".  A few catch-up TV services work, but a few don't.  The internet is my only source of TV (I don't have a digital receiver and my signal's rubbish anyway) so it's rather important that all of this works for me.  This day and age, I don't think that's asking too much.

So I'm here to ask you all: is this feasible yet? Can I genuinely use Linux as a Media Centre PC without having to resort to hacks and kludges (like WINE)?  Or will I have to see if I can find an old XP CD that'll install?

Actually, even if it comes down to hacks and kludges, I'd be interested to know if I can get LL into a usable state.

Cheers,
Jez.

Does this apply to pepperflash?

Hello
I have Lite and Win-7 dual booting which have been  working OK  for over a year


After a problem with Win-7 I reinstalled it after which I could not boot into Lite (black screen with Flashing cursor


I used  Boot-Repair Disk to mend the boot menu


I can now boot to Win-7 OK .


When I try to boot to Lite the Lite-Splash screen comes up - the progress bar goes normally for a 3rd of the way  but then goes very slowly to the end . The PC then hangs

Wondering if I did something to my system. The other day I made the mistake of doing a "system upgrade" within SystemBack. Lovely program, but I wish it had better documentation. My fault, but I was careless and let it remove some stuff.


Now I can't extract .gz files. I think I was able to before. Is that correct? I did a System Restore using SB, but it didn't help this problem.


Thanks.

Maybe its luck of the draw or since its close to Halloween..  :o



Anyone superstitious  :-X

Greetings and Salutations,

  I have just installed Linux Lite on my Compaq PC, Everything went great until I tried to log into steam via the game manager provided with the installation of linux lite. Everything froze, then after about 20 seconds of wondering what I had done to cause this issue, the screen changed to little repeating echos of the screen all over at a bit of a angle. I tried moving the mouse to see if something on the mini screens now all over the monitor would move and nothing. I turned the system off and restarted, I tried steam again, exact same result. I decided to post on the forum and before doing so I thought to gather the system information to post along side the incident report. well guess what, as soon as I finished deciding where to save the file to, and it began to run the scan, boom, same deal. So I opened the computer and got what information I could. It has 2 gb ram, an AMD Athlon x2 cpu, and some variety of nvidia graphics though I don't see a stand alone card so might be the onboard. Please help!

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Tycho

Firefox uses version 11.x in Linux Lite.  So until you see a security update for that (they’re saying sometime next week), you might want to consider using Chromium or Google Chrome for browsing.
