Standard English/English keyboard input configuration on a Thinkpad T43 gives a '5' when an 'i' is typed as well as other bad mappings.

In an effort to try and reduce Hardware I want to do some CPU/Memory re-distribution.
I know changing memory is not an issue, But what about changing CPU's.?

Under windows changing CPU usually involved re-registering Windows and some times driver/chipset updates.

What happens under Linux,?
Is there anything I need to take of, besides the make sure I have a full backup.
or is it a re-install.?

Thanks... Dave

Whilst helping somebody out with network related issues it reminded me.
When ever I had issue on my own home network a very quick and easy tool was AngryIPScanner for Windows.
It is also available for Linux: http://angryip.org/download/#linux
Helps identifying IP Addresses, missing devices, devices not responding etc...

Before I installed it, per the comments I did :

I reinstalled 32 bit 2.0 LL on an old computer. It's up and running fine, but on the desktop it shows a "floppy drive". I can't mount the drive, but that isn't surprising as the computer has no floppy drive at all, never did.  I have no idea where this icon came from, I never saw it on the previous install (same LL 2.0).

How can I get rid of this, I like my desktop clean?

Yes, Firefox can be used for this.

OK typing this part for the third time because I got 2 '500 internal server error' messages

Anyone can install apturl but it requires the package 'update-manager'
Ubuntu's update-manager can brake LL.
This is what I did to avoid installing update-manager:

First, I've installed these packages:
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...u2_all.deb
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...t1_all.deb
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/upstr...t3_all.deb

Then I had to make sure they don't get upgraded:

• network.protocol-handler.app.apt in character chain with /usr/bin/apturl as value,
  
• network.protocol-handler.app.apt+http in character chain with /usr/bin/apturl as value,
  
• network.protocol-handler.warn-external.apt in boolean value and put false as value,
  
• network.protocol-handler.warn-external.apt+http in boolean value and put false as value.
  

...in both YouTube videos and VLC.  YouTube vids also tend to pause on their own.  Easy enough to restart by clicking anywhere on the time bar.  YT vids are NOT buffering, just pausing randomly and will not restart on their own.

Fresh install of LL 2.2 on Kingston SSD.  No issues with this in 2.0.  (Once I get this figured out, I'll install on my HDD.)

svg is the way to go...cleaner lines, crisper results. On this example went outside the box. Normally would fill the voids with color and texture. This time concentrated on the stroke...got it to this level using the BRL filter. The goal was to create a red chrome effect on the stroke using an HDRI Emap and some settings adjustments...ran the filter and this is what came out. Not quite the result aimed for...only didn't have the heart to delete it.

holiday material removed.

As Spatry mentioned in his review of 2.2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMYaLO9B...tube_gdata  and others on this forum including me prefer a dark theme because it is easier on the eyes. The dark theme on the earlier versions was one of the things which originally attracted me to Linux Lite.

Could a dark theme like BleuFear* could be offered in the next version? Also maybe it could be offered as an update to Install Additional Software until the next version?

I have learned various ways to find and install themes now but did not know how when I started using Linux permanently in January 2014. Other newbies may not know how to find and install other themes that are not included.

* I copied it from Spatry's Manjaro but is also available here http://m4xm4n.deviantart.com/art/BleuFea...-271798366
