Running LL2.6.
When viewing the forums anonymously (with the dark theme), my cpu runs hot, cycling between 5% up to 100% CPU usage and the fan runs fast with either Firefox or Chrome browsers. The PC behaves like a fan heater! When I log in, I use the lighter Curve theme as my default and the CPU usage drops to around 15% to 20%. The PC runs cooler and the fan slows down. Other websites seem to run at around 5% CPU, so what is going on in the LL forum and does anyone else have this problem or know the cause or cure?

Edit: High CPU load seems to occur when viewing the forum home page.

Hello Devs and more knowledgeable Users

Having an issue regarding Laptop compatibility.
Mostly I use a (Lenovo T430 miniDP to DP connected) external screen so therefore I have set XFCE power manager to not do anything when the lid is closed (a cheap mans dock replacement ).

So the issue here is since I use my Laptop with the Lid closed and do a Shutdown via the Whisker menu button and then click Shutdown,
it seems to sometimes suspend instead of shutting down the Laptop.

Has someone figured out a way to correct that behavior?

Since this is my only means of using a computer system (no need to burn that 14" display screen unnecessarily). It would be nice to have a fix for it.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,


I have been doing some clean-up on 1 off my installs, HP Laptop.
I use this a lot to test/experiment before committing to a live PC.


I have found a bunch of .trash folders on different partitions, with large amount files.
I have different partitions to make it easier to include/exclude things from back-ups.
(ex: I have a partition called "vbox", keep all Virtual Machines separate from regular back-ups)


Doing some Googling led me to:
1. If you delete a file in your /home folder they end up in rubbish bin, so you can empty them manually, unless you do a [shift]+[delete]
2. If you delete a file on something "not" in home, a "hidden" .trash folder is created with the deleted files, unless you do a [shift]+[delete]


What I couldn't find was a definitive,
"Can I delete these non /home .trash folders manually, or is there a specific method to not mess up the file system"


Thanks...

I am having a problem with Light-Locker. When I manually lock the machine or suspend/hibernate my session, my machine wakes up to a blank screen with no login or username visible or a password field for me to even type in. I have tried to diagnose this issue for a couple of days with no luck such yet.  . If it all possible, I would like to keep Light-Locker as it has worked before with no issue.

System report of my machine is attached if needed (Dell Inspiron M5110 Laptop)

Hello there, I've installed LinuxLite in a lot of computers without having any problems with the repositories, but now I had lots of "404 not found" and other repositories errors with a fresh install of LinuxLite 2.0 and after resolving each of the problematic repos one by one I ended up with a very messed up sources.list and theres still some repos failling. Can anybody please give me a working sources.list to fix mine?.

My current sources.list is:

I downloaded supertuxkart-0.9-linux.tar.gz * into the download folder. I extracted it there and it works. How do I get the files where they belong so it shows up in the menu?

All the instructions I have found show using the terminal. There must be an easier way than what I have found.

* Synaptic does not have this new version

Hello Devs

Here is a little something that could be misleading for novice users.

The Blueman Applet 1.23 is set up to put files into /etc/skel/Public/ by default.
So when one wants to find their files that they downloaded via Bluetooth they won't find it in the usual place.
Meaning the /home/user/"Public" location. Instead they would have to know by default that it's set up to put stuff into /etc/skel/Public/ or just
have to be savvy and dig around in the Bluemans app to find the actual used location or look at the pictures properties when viewing it (that last bit helped me out).

Is this going to be addressed in the next version of Linux Lite?
Is there a temporarily fix for this?

Found a hint for a fix. But someone with a bit more knowledge needs to connect the dots here:

This is not the original wallpaper from LL 1.0.4 but it is made to look like it.
