With help from user WytWun (thanks again!) I've got LL 5.8 running on my 2016 2 GB RAM Ideapad. I really like it It's not a big deal, but I'm curious if you have tips for lowering memory use so programs open faster. I can look in TaskManager, but I'm not sure what some of the running processes do, so I hesitate to disable them. I'm not doing much with the laptop beyond office apps, web work, and lightweight apps (hello vim!). I'm not printing, using bluetooth, or anything external to the machine other than wifi.

Thanks!

Ik heb met veel plezier een aantal jaren Linux Lite :045: gebruikt tot MX langskwam. Voor míj was MX net een stapje handzamer omdat er veel tools zomaar beschikbaar zijn, maar vooral voor de snapshot, dus voor het maken van livemedia, waarmee je zonder probleem een Operating System even naar andere (of jouw nieuwe) computers kunt overbrengen (en correct werkend). Het is ook een mooie alternatieve wijze van backup van je systeem naast b.v. Clonezilla. Het gaat bij MX ook bloedsnel. Ik kende de livebackup van het prettige PCLinuxOS, maar die van MX gaat zeer veel sneller. Als Linux Lite ook met zo'n faciliteit komt is dat voor mij een aanbeveling het eventueel weer te gaan gebruiken als day2day werkpaard.

Hi. Just installed a fresh copy of LL 6.0 on a PC for a friend to use to wean them off Windows -;

Installed LL 6.0 and did one update. Kernel now 5.15.0-37-generic

Went to Package Manager to add Firefox and learnt that Ubuntu based distros are now using Snap for FF. Installed Firefox Snap but failed with:

When using volume keys to change the volume, two volume indicators appear.


I know there already was a topic regarding this but the fix (turning off xfce4 volume notifications) completely disabled volume indicators for me.

How do I disable Package Update Indicator? It makes my firefox crash alot of times when it indicate some updates  :dft007:

Apply this workaround now if you plan to remove kernels in the 6.0 release - https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/secur...l-remover/
Fix coming hopefully in 6.2 Lite Upgrade. Fix already applied for the 6.2 ISO release.

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!

I wanted to bookmark a thread, but I don't see any button/option to do that. I've bookmarked threads in the past, but it's been a while since I last did it and don't remember how or what I need to do. So, could anyone please be so gentle to tell/remind me how I can bookmark threads? Thanks.

Hello  :dft010:!

I'd like to update my release of linux lite to the last version
my version is actually the 5.6
is it possible to do it from the shell in commands lines ?


Thanks to you for your advices

I need help to establish a WiFi connection with my Lenovo ThinkPad x200s on Linux Lite.

All available WiFi networks are detected and I can click on my home network to connect to it. I'm then asked for the network authentication. After a few seconds of connecting the authentication window pops up again with the password already filled correctly. This loop repeats a few times before the whole process is aborted.

Useful Informations:

• on Windows the WiFi adapter works with every tested network
  
• I can successfully connect to the WiFi hotspot of my OnePlus 7 Pro
  
• various changes on my router didn't help (e.g. disabling 5GHz frequency, enabling 802.11b, choose shorter WiFi password without special characters, ...)
  

• Lenovo ThinkPad x200s with Linux Lite 5.8 and stock BIOS
  
• CPU: Dual Core Intel Core2 Duo L9300
  
• Memory: 8GB
  
• Wifi Card: Intel WiFi Link 5300 (Full Size)
  
• Router: AVM FritzBox 7490 (in a WiFi Mesh with multiple FRITZ!Repeater 2400)
