Super Lite Mode for Lite Tweaks

<< < (3/4) > >>

Hi Jerry


May i suggest the following changes:


1. Open Menu, System, Resource Usage and note down the values next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G
2. Navigate to "location of superlitemode file", ( found mine after awhile at /home/USERNAME )
3. WARNING: This will close all open windows including your web browser. To run it in LL 3.4, just double click on the superlitemode file.


Then please ONLY open Menu, System, Resource Usage, and note down again the values next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G


So, a typical reply to this thread would include:


Before superlitemode: 345/1.95G


After superlitemode: 259/1.95G (+ windows that remained open, if any)


________________________________________________


My results:


Before superlitemode: 876m/5.72G


After superlitemode: 335m/5.72G (no windows remained open)


Will try again later immediately after restart and let you know.

working my way through Sophos linux manual as a wide eyed newbie :)  Trying to find a way to disable on boot up, then will check resource clear mem ( Lite Tweaks) , check resource again, then trigger "superlitemode".  Will report back when I have tested etc..  Unfortunately (for this test) all our family pcs laptops  are Sophos live protected.

For the record the idea of superlitemode  option ( preferably default on start up) for older  cpus/models I think would be ideal and then user can initiate what is needed at the time;   ideal to run off a usb say for internet banking etc. with "lightweight" browser for example ( Min    http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/05/minimal-web-browser-linux )

Temp. line, yes, if you know what the service is. I wouldn't know sorry. Green - used memory, Red - cache.

Can I put in a temporary line into the file to "neutralise" sophos fo them period of the test?
BTW, what is the significance of the green and red  parts of the RAM use display in resource report??

Jerry:
Yes Sophos will be running in the background using a lot of memory. It wouldn't be smart of me to shut down any security services on people's machines :)
