Hello People of Linux Lite

Does someone have extensive experience on optimizing the Intel HD 4000 graphics card on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430 when it's the only graphics chip in the system?
(having tearing issues)

And is there a way so that the graphics memory and clock speed can ramp up to maximum specified usage when needed and use low power and memory when not needed for intensive tasks?
(It seems to use very little of the available memory).

Is there a way to see the exact maximum usage in the command line?

My graphics hardware info looks like this:

Hello

I'm new to Linux Lite. How would I go about optimizing My HDD to work balanced and long on it?
Meaning : scheduler / hdparm etc.

Would love to use TLP for it. So I could potentially tweak some other aspects of power management also like - Runtime Power Management / advanced power management / SATA aggressive link power management (ALPM) / PCI Express Active State Power Management (PCIe ASPM) etc.

Also would love to know the best balanced settings for those mentioned.

Any advice on what settings to use for this?:
(From what I understand this gives info to hdparm so essentially those are numbers to send to hdparm?)

# Hard disk advanced power management level: 1(max saving)..254(off)
# Levels 1..127 may spin down the disk.
# Separate values for multiple devices with spaces.
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_AC="254 254"
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_BAT="160 160"

Also how to set up the Lenovo Thinkpad T430's Free-fall sensor correctly?

Thank you in advance,

Hi

I'm a newcomer to Linux Lite. Stepped in at version 2.2 64bit.

My hardware is a Lenovo Thinkpad T430:

Hello I have a old xp and I made a cd but my pc will not boot from a cd it will only boot from floppy disk? Is there a why I can make it boot from a cd. thank you. :

gold_finger has created a significant new addition to the Help Manual - Customize Your Desktop
This is an incredible amount of work that we hope people will both appreciate and find useful.

Thanks also to misko for his ideas and suggestions during the creation of this addition.

Download updates to get the new version, as usual it is also available online.

Anybody having this problem besides me? I am streaming the news and the audio and video are out of sync.  I've tried Firefox and Chrome..same problem.  I've run into this in the past and seems flash player eventually updates and everything clears up.  Could this be my problem now?  Anybody having similar difficulty?

So how do make it right is it a patch or how? Tell me / Iwar

I installed Google earth and tried to run it but it must have changed from when I was running it a few years ago on Win XP as I received a notice that my graphics card was not sufficiently accelerated and that the program would not work.

Since it's useless to have it there...how do I get rid of it completely from my system?

Thanks

alex

Hi Guy's. I inherited an old Laptop. An eee 1000h with ubuntu 6 already installed on it. There is another os on it, as far as I can make out, but have no idea what it could be. Probably one of the windows.

Don't like Ubuntu and want to install Linus Lite 2, which I have on my Desktop PC. The thing is I cannot seem to get it to install. Well it goes so far, then hangs up on the subject of Mounting/Unmounting some drive or drive. So every time thats where it all ends.  Expecting to get LL 2.2 soon by post from Canada, but when I have no idea. Been waiting since Christmas and am quite excited at the pros[pect of having it on my computer.

It would be great if I could get rid of Ubuntu and then I would have no problem  installing LL, but it seems from what I have read elsewhere, that it is an almost impossible task. Really? Why? I would like to clear the lot out and just have LL as the sole os on the machine. Any ideas as to how I can achieve this? Any input at all would be so appreciated. Regards Walt

I've recently downloaded Lite on to my little Asus Eee PC and I have to say I've been blown away with its user-friendly features, clearly the best of the lightweight distros. I've tried countless distros but Lite is by far the snappiest. Will alert my friends/relatives to it - most of us are sick of Windows. Well done and all the best for a bright future!
