Hello all !How to turnoff the atime option in LL 4.8?? Recently I came to know that atime can be a cause of slowing down the performance of system with low resources and less ram! Please guide me regarding this small doubt and the way to implement if it is possible. 8)

Buenas tardes o noches me dirijo a ustedes desde Venezuela en la oportunidad de agradecerles a la gente de Linux Lite 5.0 64 bits por desarrollar una Distribucion totalmente amigable e intuitiva para todo tipo de usuarios Novatos, Medios o Avanzados debido a lo sencilla de su Interfaz para todo tipo de situaciones asi como su Configuracion puesta a punto del Sistema.

En la Instalacion en mi Netbook del Gobierno una Canaima Intel ATOM N455 con 2 GB RAM Disco Duro de 350 GB con un pendrive booteable me quede loco al ver que duro 45 minutos la misma y en 1 Hora 45 minutos ya tenia todo configurado y funcional.

Si detecte una falla con la pantalla en el proceso de Instalacion la misma se desbordaba y no se veia los botones de Aceptar Cancelar o Siguiente tueve que ingeniarmelas con la tecla TAB, por lo demas fue sencilla y rapida.

Vengo de otras Distribuciones tales como: Fedora Ubuntu Debian Gentoo Suse Sparsky Lubuntu Xubuntu Kubuntu Ubuntu Mate Canaima 3.0 4.0 y otras mas que no me acuerdo.

Di el salto a la misma porque revise la Base de Datos de Hardware y era compatible y no me defraudo es super rapida tengo abiertas hasta 7 ventanas sin ralentizamiento de la misma tambien mejoro notablemente el rendimiento de la red.

Mis sinceras felicitaciones a todo el Staff de Programadores asi como de todos los Usuarios de la Comunidad los cuales ponen un grano de arena para que la misma sea mejor.

Gracias Linux Lite 5.0

Hi good day My name is Leonardo Muñoz from Venezuela and my work is computer technician for my way probe many distributions in my Intel ATOM N455 1,66 GHZ NETBOOK this Distros are Mandriva Gentoo Suse Debian Point Linux Bodhi Linux Sparsky Xubuntu Lubuntu Ubuntu Mate Ubuntu Debian Fedora but never see a very nice and quick Distro.

I be really impresioned of the environment, quick, easy and designed Distro Linux Lite 5.0 its the best dont see more come to me and never go.

Thanks

I suggested puts the Windows to 80% because in the Partition Module dont see the bottons to next cancel or accept the only way to resolve use the tab key to move and accept its the only issue for the rest of the installation be good and quick

I love Linux Lite, have used it for years and continue to use it for our family storage and Minecraft server. I came from DSL and Tiny Core Linux before finding Linux Lite 1.0.8 and was hooked.

My question is, for a light version of Linux, the ISO has doubled in size since the 1.0.8 release (700mb) I fell in love with.

What is the reason for the increase in ISO size? More drivers? More software? Bigger software packages?

I see that 5.0 is down to 1.3GB which is a welcome sight from the 4.6 release that was 1.5GB but is there any way you can get the ISO back under a GB? I thought the original premise of a Lite version was that it fit on a CD (700mb) and used light system applications and desktop environment?

My bedroom TV computer is a Chromebox that was hacked to run any UEFI compatible OS. I ran Windows 8.1 for a few years, but 8.1 is getting a little long in the tooth and Windows 10 is a joke.

The main requirement I had was being able to run Retropie which narrows my options down to Debian distros. I went distro hopping for something that was fast on my limited hardware and easy to use with my limited understanding of Linux. Ubuntu is fairly easy to use, but really slow. It seems to get a little slower with every new release. Even some modern computers run like carp in Ubuntu. The watermark for ease of use is how easy is it to install Chrome and Kodi. If it takes me more than 5 minutes to figure out how to install those two very common apps and get the latest versions, the distro sucks.

MX Linux treated me reasonably well and I might have rode of into the sunset running it if not for a news article about the Linux Lite 5 release. I tried the Live version from my SD card, as I always do, and even in "test drive" mode it seemed really fast, so I decided to try installing it.

Long story short, this is the perfect OS for any PC with a few caveats. There are 2 small problems and 1 huge unsolvable problem that would give me pause in recommending it to everyone.

Small problems:

1. Most of the preinstalled is the best available in the open source world with two exceptions. The default "notepad" is shite. Featherpad, the default in MX Linux, is much better. Also Qpdfview is the best pdf viewer because it also allows editing of PDF documents without having to deal with Adobe. Fortunately both apps are easily installable and able to be set as the default.

2. Most apps open in the upper left hand corner of the screen every time regardless of where I had the window when I closed it. A few apps, like Featherpad get this right, but other apps like the file manager do not.

Huge unsolvable(any time soon) problem:

No support for commercial software. Not really the fault of Linux Lite or any other distro, but it is the reason why most people are not running Linux. This is not a deal breaker for me because I use all open source software(Kodi, Retropie, Qbittorrent, etc.), but anyone that needed to run Quickbooks, MS Office, Photoshop, etc. would be sunk. The open source alternatives to these programs either don't exist or they suck. Commercial software will never be available in Linux as long as there are 5 million distros. If we could all just agree that Linux Lite is the only distro worth running and focus all farther development there companies might actually start porting their software to Linux. Until then I just don't see it happening.

Change: I was also having some other problems today, so I decided to just bite the bullet and do a new install. So far all is well. So I'm through with this issue for now.


I redid my recent LinuxLite 4.8 installation last night by replacing it with the new LinuxLite 5.0. I added quite a bit of new software. The PC was running through the night. When prompted for new updates this morning, I got the following message and followed the instructions to post it here.

Can someone advise whether the above routine will work for LL5.0.  Have 64gb USB stick and don't want to risk it if unsure.  Thanks.Etcher unfortunately does not give Persistent option.
Also once made, can I install SOPHOS antivirus scanner on the persistent usb drive so that I can scan any PC I plug into afterwards - service tool.
Thanks

driver installation problem

Google chrome keeps asking for the password for the default keyring. I did edit the launcher and changed the command to /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --password-store=basic
But it doesnt work. Did work without a problem on LL 4.8 and earlier.


Anyone got an idea what might be causing this and how to solve it?
