Thank you for the reply. I went ahead and updated the OS to 5.4.

I down loaded Cinnamon via the Terminal and the software is listed in my software files.
How do you log into cinnamon to use the features? The Log in/out does not show this option.

Hi Guys,

I'm puzzling over this one.  :032:  Just trying to backup a 4GB USB stick to DVD. Want to use the stick to install LL5.6.

Copied the contents to Hard Disk, then tried to write to DVD using xfburn.  Appeared to complete without any problems, but didn't hang about to watch it.

I note there is no Verify option in xfburn. Is there an alternative that has that feature?

Anyway, to workaround, then used an old Windows Utility (WinDiff) on a Windows PC to do a bitwise compare of the source and DVD data.

Thus discovered that 300-odd files where missing from the DVD.  They are "randomly" scattered throughout the source, typically one or two files per bottom-level directory.  Mainly the most important files.  >

I suspected that the file structure went too deep, but as I understand, the maximum path length is 256 (or is it 255?) characters.  Did a sample check, found it was only 156 characters deep.  The missing files are on the Hard Disk...

Could it be I have filenames that are too long, or what is the likely problem, please?  Is the path/filename length different on Optical media?

The fact that these omissions happen silently is a bit scary!  :o

I want to copy some MP3s from college classes to my iPhone 11 from my Linux Lite laptop. Do I need some kind of special software for that? A Starpage search seems to lead either to some proprietary app solution or only works on older versions of IOS (Apple's phone OS). I bet it's a lot easier on an Android phone, lol.


If anyone can help, thanks in advance!
:wave

I have an old Macbook that I'd like to get working again. It's an A1181 from 2006. What version of Linux Lite should I use for this?

Thanks in advance :032:

My problem with timeshift is that I have created several snapshots in timeshift after the first backup for different reasons, but when you open the program in GUI it only shows me the first snapshot, the others that I have created are not seen, but if I go to browse there are not the ones that I create just the first one, where they go and how I can get them back?

Hey all, I guess I missed making an introduction post previously. I am new to LL, but not to Linux, I've been using ubuntu linux and derivatives since 2009 when I started with Jaunty. I've used and experimented with a handful of different distros, but now I'm mostly just looking for something solid, stable, and familiar for my windows using family members. for me, LLite is the perfect combination of familiar UI and foss. Many thanks to the developers and maintainers.
