Hi all!
That's an original way to start off on the wrong foot, but here are the facts.
1. I could not find a way to report bugs in the forum's software, so I'm posting here.
2. This forum CANNOT send activation mails to Outlook.com. Even resending them repeatedly didn't produce anything in either Junk or Inbox. I'm 100% sure they bounced back, i.e. they weren't even accepted. I don't know how Microsoft considered they should reject the mails coming from this source, nor what could be done; at least, the mails from my blog to myself go to Junk, so they're accepted.
3. For that reason, I got with 2 LL accounts, and I couldn't find a way to delete an account, although I suppose there must be one.

The boring details:
- I tried to create the account ludditus (u=48398) with a mail @outlook.com. When resending the activation failed and failed, hours later I created an account with a mail @yahoo.ca. The activation worked, but since the user ludditus was reserved for "the other me" (not activated), I've been assigned the name ludditus1 (u=48400).
- I managed to change the mail for the yet-to-be-activated-account from @outlook.com to @web.de, and then to activate it. So I now have 2 accounts, of which I'd like to delete the one with "1" added to the user name.
- As long as ludditus1 isn't deleted, I cannot change the mail for ludditus from @web.de to @yahoo.ca, because it's associated to ludditus1. So I suppose a moderator should intervene and delete ludditus1. Pretty please?

Another bug: when I associated ludditus1 with my Twitter account, the tagline from there has been imported as "Personal Text". With one broken character, but still imported, despite being very long (128 chars). Now, in both the ludditus and ludditus1 accounts, I cannot manually enter a "Personal Text" longer than 50 characters. I consider this to be a bug in the form's validation, as the database can clearly store 128 chars for that field!

Long story short: pretty please someone delete the user ludditus1 so I can modify ludditus to an e-mail I actually read!

And, everyone, be warned: don't use an e-mail @outlook.com, or else you won't probably receive any notification from this forum!

[member=2]Jerry[/member] está considerando lanzar una versión "Core/Minima" de Linux Lite.



En sus propias palabras:

Quote:Los archivos base y los controladores permanecerán intactos como de costumbre, para garantizar una amplia compatibilidad de hardware.
El inicio y el apagado, como se pueden imaginar, son ridículamente rápidos.
Versión reducida de Lite donde el usuario puede elegir:
Navegador Web
Cliente de correo electrónico
Cortafuegos
Suite de oficina -  LibreOffice, WPS, OnlyOffice ...
Gestor de discos/particiones.
Visor de PDF
Reproductor multimedia
editor/visualizador de fotos
Administrador de fotos
Software de escaneo
Software de respaldo
etc

I recently installed LinuxLite 3.8 32bit on an old ASUS EeePC with an 1.60GHz Intel CPU and 1GB of RAM. I use that netbook for seeding a bunch of torrents, some of them very large. Unfortunately my computer disconnects itself apparently randomly from the internet (it shows that sign with the two unconnected plugs and the red X in the panel instead of the four stepped bars) and keeps me from uploading. This happens like every 48-72 hours. It didn't do that with the Windows10 OS I had installed before Linux.

Its very annoying, first because I havent found any way to reconnect the computer to the net without restarting it and second because because it then takes a really long time to get all the torrents going again.

When the computer is disconnected nothing I can do in the panel seems to have any effect, neither clicking the symbol nor disabling or re-eabling Wi-Fi does anything. I know the problem is the computer, not the router or ISP because my other laptop has no issues staying connected to the internet at all.

I have just restarted it once again, it showed good connection (three out of four bars) but when I tried to download updates I was told that the computer wasnt connected to the internet. And even if I restart the panel sometimes still shows the "disconnected" symbol and I have to restart a second time.

Does anybody know what the problem could be? Please ELI5, I am extremely new to Linux.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!  :54:

For a few months now, I've been using Firefox in a daily basis, in fact, I'm writing this from it. Thing is, I noticed it kind of started to become slower, and then I'm back to chromium, which is my primary browser and IMHO it's a bit faster, but I do like some FF features, so I started searching for some "hacks", tips, tricks or whatever to try and see if I could improve its performance, and found this https://mastransky.wordpress.com/ though it's focused on Fedora's FF package, it does provide some good advice on tweaking Mozilla's browser to get the best out of it. So I read  most of the recent posts, tried some recommendations and am currently running FF with these settings:

I'm curious if TLP is still recommended to be installed on laptops?

Older or newer or one or neither anymore?

Good idea...

Just a heads up.  I get a lot of laptops in my shop and its hard to find one that works 100% or almost 100% with linux right off the bat.

Just wanted to let you know that the Lenovo 13 AMD Ryzen 4750 Pro works flawlessly with LL.

Even some of the dell ones they say are fully compatible are not but this beast is.

I am seriously considering doing this. Stripped down version of Lite where the user gets to choose:

Web browser
Email client
Firewall
Office Suite
Partitioner
PDF viewer
Media player
Photo editor
Photo manager
Scan software
Back up software
etc

Base files and drivers will stay intact as per usual - to ensure wide hardware compatibility.
Start up and shutdown as you could imagine are ridiculously quick.

Should I do this? Main Linux Lite release will remain unchanged.

Hola,
Acabo de instalar Lite 5.4, en la instalación elegí Teclado Español y Latinoamerica.
Todo el lado izquierdo del teclado va perfecto, el problema surge sobre la derecha donde están las teclas con el simbolo azul que al apretar la tecla funcion se escribe como sugiere, ejemplo
Quiero escribir "K" y escribe 2
Para poder escribir "K" debo presionar la tecla "fn" y sin soltar la "K"

No se como cambiarlo.
Espero me puedan ayudar,

So youtube changed their api or something and the youtube-dl version in LL 5.4 (2020.03.24-1) doesn't work anymore.  This version is over a year old and out of date.  There is a new 2021.05.16 which is the current version.

How would I install this new version on my system when it is not in the repo provided by LL?  Do I have to uninstall the repo version and build the current version manually?  Any help would be appreciated.
