Hi all,

I saw last year's thread about zoom but that's not helping in my case, if only because I'm a beginner at all this! I downloaded zoom for Ubuntu, eta al., but then I just have a zip folder to extract from and I don't understand what to do from there. I also tried installing from terminal, but I get this message:

E: Unsupported file ./zoom_amd64.deb given on commandline

Thanks for any help!

Toshiba Portege R700
Lite 5.0

I use FBReader a great deal and I have the version 0.12.10dfsg2-4bu installed from the repository.
When reading an epub book the application inserts a hyphen after every word before the space.
No amount of fiddling with the settings changes this.
I have a similar setup on a Satellite Pro running MX and FBReader (version 0.12.10dfsg2-3) renders the text perfectly.
My old 32bit D420 runs Lite 3.8 and FBReader works as it should.
I've just learned that the developer no longer supports Linux and that version 12 is old software, I've also read that Ubuntu 20 has dropped qt4 which may explain something.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a graphic tool that allows to rebuild a kernel without certain modules, such as useless drivers and the like?
My skills in compling/recompiling are close to none. This might help me remove useless drivers (Radeon, for one, even NVidia, on the other machines).

Best regards!

Was trying to install ffmpeg so Firefox could play HTNL 5.  Used the command: sudo apt install ffmpeg.  I was asked for my password.  I could not type in the space provided.  Keyboard totally worthless at that point.  My distro:

Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Kernel 4.15.0-112-generic

What gives with the inability to type anything here?

Thanks

Hi to all,

Just trying out Linux Lite on this old cantankerous HP Pavillion dv6000 which doesn't play well with a lot of distros.

So far Linux Lite is running very smoothly on it and as for the documentation and the guides to everything like driver support and zram installation etc is amazing the documentation is really impressive and easy to understand.  Thank you to all who help develop this system.

I am using 3.8 32bit and it runs real sweet thank you.

Regards

Darren

So here's a new problem on my mum's PC that started yesterday. Upon switching the machine on from a complete shutdown (has been off for over 12 hours) it came up with the usual login screen and the "Password incorrect" message in red. BEFORE we touched the keyboard. We logged in, and as a security measure changed the password. Rebooted a few times, message hasn't returned.

Then switched it off last night again for 12 hours, turned on - same this now, "Password incorrect" even though we've just switched it on.

Any idea of what might be causing this?

Thanks

Hi everyone! hope you're all having a nice life!

I just found that Systemback is active again.  https://github.com/fconidi/systemback-in...pack-1.9.3
The new version is 1.9.4 supporting Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. Just installed with no problems by following instructions from the git page.

I'm using my backup laptop as my HP is down for the moment. It's Toshiba satellite C850D on LL 3.4. I haven't updated it for months if not a year. On start up it runs horribly slow. If I restart I get a message of 'unattended upgrade in progress. do not turn off computer.' If left it take over 30 mins to restart. I can stop it with cont/alt/del & on reboot it has gone. It will sometimes resume later in the day. It's very noticeable that the fan suddenly goes into overdrive & everything grinds to a halt.

Once started, by checking 'resource usage', I can see the following using upto 170% CPU:
pid :1098  user: root  Command: /user/bin/python3 /user/bin/unattended-upgrade

Nothing shows in task manager using anything more than single figure CPU% but CPU at the top is flat out 100% almost all the time.

My question's are : what is this unattended upgrade ? & why is it running without my initiating it ? (One main reason I ditched windows was stuff running in the background, eating resources, that I had no control over.)
