My computer is a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 desktop with 2GB ram, model HP t741.uk.  I installed LL 1.0.8 earlier this year, dual booting with Windows XP, and it worked very well.

I recently installed LL 2.0 as a clean install, without the Windows dual boot.  The system has now become very slow.  There is a time lag between keyboard input and text appearing on the screen; the mouse pointer does not move smoothly, there is a time lag when scrolling, etc.

I have used the same install disk to put LL 2.0 on another old PC (Dell) with a similar spec, but only 1 GB of ram, and it works perfectly well.  I have also tried a clean install of Peppermint 5 on the HP machine and experienced the same problems as with LL 2.0.

I'm no expert, but I suspect that the problem may be caused by the BIOS.  The machine originally had a recovery partition.  The HP website says that only BIOS updates from HP, rather than the motherboard manufacturer, should be installed, but they only provide BIOS software for Windows operating systems.  The recovery partition was deleted when I installed LL 2.0.

A  system report is attached.

Can anybody help, please?

I noticed this recent png optimization to the help manual:

Hi, all.  I'm a relative Linux noob from Indiana.  I tried a version of Ubuntu a while back and couldn't get the hang of it so I reverted to Win7.  Figured I'd try Linux again with Linux Lite.  Got it installed and already having problems (I set the taskbar/panel to autohide and it won't, even after a reboot).  Hellova thing to be frustrated right out of the box.  Anyway, I'll give this a shot.

The printer worked from startup but it does not function properly. When I look at the printer properties I get a very shortened menu that reflects none of the extensive properties for this printer. I tried re-installing all the drivers from the software centre but there was no change:

This is a screen shot as it is now:



Cannot get one as it was before but there were many more than 20 different settings, including a fast ink-saving option.

Any ideas please?

I did a search for kwin but 0 results, so I assume that no one else has had this problem:

I followed Spatry's instructions to the letter (I think) on his Youtube video on installing this on LL, but it did not work:



No idea what that means...can any one jelp?

Thanks

Just installed LinuxLite on two of my XP suffering cpus and going all steam ahead...grankids never had so much fun, Pap loves it too

Good work all at LL! My facebook page is under Louie Breccia and have like LL

Installed XMBC after update to use new GUI. Crashed three times when trying to start, have removed it. Here is the Log:

My picture/image files won't open on the desktop unless with an application. So which application opens picture/image files directly on the desktop? Tried gnome-open as a custom command and that didn't work. Is there a custom command that will work?

Drag and drop either does not work or does not exist?

I've been noticing some of my games, both Native and Wine games, have been running a pretty choppy on Linux, and originally, I thought it was the fact that I has too many resource eating programs up, but I've noticed closing them didn't really make a huge difference.

I was playing this game called Maniadrive (Trackmania clone), and it said it was running at 60 FPS, when it didn't look like it was running that smooth at all, so I don't get it. I've also noticed that Wolfenstein 3D w/ NewWolf and Maniadrive sometimes seem actually run 60fps only some of the time, and it seems random whether or not it does, it doesn't matter how many programs are running, or how long after I boot Linux Lite, it just seems random how smoothly the games will run. Sometimes they will run ~20-30 fps when it's the only game running, and sometimes it actually runs 60fps when I have a bunch of programs running/suspended in the background. Either way, Maniadrive insists the game is running at 60fps.

So what's going on? How do I go about solving the problem?

How do i get the display screen to stop blanking out. I havent changed any settings since the install of LL2.0. But today it started doing this after i tampered with the conky installation. and uninstalled it.
