Name is Jim, have been using Linux Lite on and off for years. Have several old ex-windows laptops that are happy once again running LL. W7 just ain't no good no more! Used to run Apache server on one, and have a W10 laptop with a hard drive so tiny that Winders won't update -- that one might be next.
These are scattered about the house so as needed someone might grab one and browse away the day. And Samba is running on them all -- file sharing is really sweet.
And I've a goal to publish some open source software. I could never find a picture viewer with all the right features so why not write my own. Using Qt on LL and windows, just coming to terms with Qt Creator. Two things remain -- Zooming with the scroll wheel and working with EXIF data. Fun stuff.
Yeah I'm an old software guy -- PDP 11, DOS, SuperDOS and all the flavours of windows. And now with LL trying to be a little more than an appliance operator.
Good to meet you all,
Jim

Screen breaks up, checkerboard like. |

Looking for help with video issues.
Sometimes the screen will break up into sortof a broken checkerboard pattern, squares maybe 10px wide. And as I move windows around they might flash or change forming diagonal patterns. I have screenshots and hardinfo but can't manage to attach them to this note.
I can't make it happen at will, with a finite number of steps. But scrolling a document, moving a window, watching video -- things involving the mouse and video activity does increase the probability.
Does not seem to matter what application I'm using.
If I logout and log back in it's fine for a while until it breaks again.
If it breaks and I switch users it's fine until I switch back again, so the problem seems limited to user space.
This system is dual boot with windows, running it for years no problem. With Linux Lite it seems a bit fragile.
Thanks in advance to any and all who might venture to assist,
Jim.

No sound device found after kernel update |

Last week, the Lite system updates included a kernel update to 6.8.60 Since that update, I have been unable to get Lite to recognize my sound card. Specifically the headphone port where I plug in my speakers is no longer detected. Looking at the sound mixer, all I have is Dummy Output as a sound device.
I can get sound if I plug in a USB headset, and I get sound remotely from the system if I connect to it via NoMachine, both are treated as separate sound devices from my sound card.
My system is multi-boot, and the headphone port does work when I am booted to Kubuntu, so this is not a hardware problem.
I have tried reinstalling pulseaudio, pipewire, and alsa. I am not sure what else to try at this point and need advice.

Trying to install 7.4 on older Samsung |

Howdy fellow Lite users,
It's been a while since I've been on the forum and things sure have changed a lot. I recently decided to revive my late wife's Samsung NP305V5A 15.6" Laptop from 2012 that hasn't been used for almost a decade. It has a 1.8 gigahertz AMD processor with 4 gb of ram and a new Samsung 870 EVO 250 gb SSD, I thought I would try out a few distros before making a decision about what would be best, I downloaded Linux Mint XFCE newest version and tried it out and liked it a lot so I installed it and all went fine until the end and it wouldn't boot. I tried several suggested tips and tricks but it wouldn't boot at all. So I installed Lite 5.8 in the interim because I know it works on my old Presario without any problems and it loaded without any problems at all, so I decided to download Lite 7.4 and installed it and I ran into the same problem. It wouldn't boot, I am not sure what the problem is, this laptop has legacy bios, meets more than the minimum requirements and the laptop is in good condition so what could be the problem?
