I apologize if this has been addressed before, I couldn't find it if so.  I have found Linuxlite to be very slow to boot and shutdown.  Not referring to the GRUB part but the part with the "splash screen" where all of the services and what not are being loaded.  Is there any way to speed it up, i.e. a list of the bare minimum process needed to make the OS work.  By "work" I mean be usable right away (while I'm not new to Linux I'm not into working from command line, just the basics like installing software and updating not for the whole system.)

Should this not be LITE LOCKER?

Sorry if I'm being a stickler over this?

To start the new year 2016 with an experiment I installed Linux Lite 2.6 64bit version on my old MSI notebook. Everything seems to be working well and I will report details of the hardware (and any problems, if they should occur) soon.

I live in Germany and have been a Linux user for more than 15 years. I prefer distros that are easy on resources (because I only have older, cheaper computers  ) so Linux Lite looks like a good match for me!  8)

Have a great year, everyone.

For one reason or another, when I try to install a game in one of my different drives, I keep getting the message that says Failed to create new Steam library folder, anybody have a solution to this. Also, yes I have run the sudo chown -R user:user /media/user/"drive"/ && chmod -R 770 /media/user/"drive"/ command.

I wanted to get "Magneto Bold "font for LibreOffice and found that Fonts are part of LL
Not sure if this is a recognized method but it worked for me ,


Downloaded > Magnetob.TTF
and copied it Clipboard


Using Catfish I searched for .TTF 
I then right clicked on a result showing the fonts folder and  > "Show in File Manager "
Then Paste into Folder


next time I opened LibreOffice it was in the list

Hello everyone.

Trying to bring a few old machines back to life and this is what one of them looks like:

CPU - AMD Athlon™ XP 2000+
GC - S3 Graphics Ltd. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266]
RAM - 1Gb

I have a problem and a question.

The problem:

Everything that seems to need any sort of graphical capability drags almost to a halt. Talking about stuff as simple as draging a window across the screen. Kind of stuff you usually see in Windows when you install the OS but still didn't installed the GC driver.

Tried to look arround for a solution but I didn't found any for this GC. What I found is a lot of people having trouble with VIA GC's but some threads are left abondoned before a definite  solution is presented.

Even though I can manage myself pretty well arround a computer, I'm kinda new to Linux and this problem sems to be, at the moment, beyond what I know about the OS.

I red in another thread that the information below may be useful to help solve my problem:

The question:
This machine will be available to a small group of people and it's main use will be accessing online content. So, another thing I'm wondering is how well it will be able to use stuff like Facebook or Youtube.

Any help is much apreciated.

I have noticed that downloaded video's from Youtube have appeared on my drives with the extension or Filename.webm and vlc does not recognize the new format.

I know this is not a LL issue but wondering if anyone has a solution to this now or should I wait for VLC to correct this?

Knowing VLC can play about almost anything I'm sure changing the extension will not make a difference.

Youtube always messing **** up.
