Hi. Sauri here.

Just recently, a friend of mine was about to dispose some old Socket G2 cpu he got from his pops working on a tech store 5 years ago, an i5-2520m Q17N ES to be exact. He readily gave it to me as he was basically throwing out old stuff from their house since it was piling up like a trash hill.

So I got the cpu for free and was compatible to use on my Acer TM4750, replacing the Pentium B960 on it. Installed it so easily while cleaning the fan of the cpu and applying some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut as paste. Paired with my new PNY SSD, I installed LL 4.8 (since I can't install 5.0 or newer due to UEFI or something) and it worked like a charm.

Here was the thing bothering me instead:
I play Minecraft just to enjoy my free time exploring or building. Now when I launch the game it's just fine. Title screen seems smoother to use, I have no problems navigating the options but when I load a world, it loads then the laptop suddenly just shuts down out of nowhere.

My old trusty laptop has no battery now since it's dead and here I'm thinking that my 65watt brick might be the problem since I remember this happens when power supply can't supply enough power to the system, so I grabbed my 90watt brick and tadaah... still shutting down when a world is loaded.

Probably it was just a minecraft thing so I opened steam and launch Amnesia: TDD. 3 seconds in and not even reaching the title screen, laptop suddenly shuts down... again.

So I tried something that I never thought I would do... install windows 8.1 again on the laptop. And surprise, surprise... minecraft plays normally (though sub 20 fps 'cause no Optifine). So I'm wondering what's up with that? I really don't want to go back to windows due to not being a day or so, just installing the drivers basically and system goes slow and high resource consumption. Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong? Something something LL only problem or something? I would highly appreciate any answers to inquiry people since I really love this OS.

yours truly,
Sauri

Installed LL 5.2
All fine and good BUT on EVERY startup I get a black full screen with some for me irrelevant text about editing ending in a terminal input prompt: grub>
I type EXIT and the system resumes booting normally AFTER a re-boot.
I have not found anything anywhere about this behavior.
ALL my customers are retirement age or older and all consider themselves computer illiterate; I can not ask them to "just type exit", they want it to just work and I think that's understandable.
Since I often recommend and "resurrect" older PC's with Linux Lite I kind'a need a solution to avoid that grub> prompt completely.
Can anyone please help with a link or direct advice?TIAeikelein

Hello I have NitroShare on three units my Linux lite laptop Samsung s9+ and my windows 10 pc

The laptop can receive files but cannot send i get the message "failed connection" also nitroShare only sends files when the Operating system is present so although it sees my android phone it does not know the operating system.

Is there an easy work around for this ?

Thanks in advance

Linux lite freezes randomly. I tried doing ctrl+alt+backspace and that dosen't work. I then tried ctrl+alt+f1 and that didn't work. Intresting, if the computer is not frozen, if I do ctrl+alt+f1 then it freezes

Hello, I am trying to change the spacing between the icons on my desktop. I would like to place them closer together than they currently are. I am attempting to follow this guide: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=58685. I am confused when it comes to editing "~/.config/gtk.css" as I'm unsure where to locate this file. When I go to the folder for my current theme (/usr/share/themes/Adapta-Nokto/gtk-3.0/) I see a gkt.css file however it does not seem like this is the correct file to edit. I'm wondering how I would find the "~/.config/gtk.css" file. Thank you for your help!

Seeing the following when I attempt to do updates.
Any thoughts?

I am all for Linux Lite to come in and replace Windows 7, 10.  I realize Canon is doing nothing to provide Linux drivers.  If someone in the Linux Lite community could develop a printer driver(s) for Canon printers, then I (we) could go completely Linux Lite and dump Windows.  But I have to keep a Windows box around just to be able to print to the Canon.  I am not a developer (just a lowly Sys Admin), so I am unable to fix it myself.  It would be cool if Linux Lite could print to Canon printers right out of the box (.iso?)  8)

Is there a problem with the linux lite sources ?
Thanks for reaction.
