I searched, can't find an answer. With older linux generations, I used to be able to just plug in ipod (older nano), it would be recognized by file manager and accessible via banshee or rhythmbox where I could upload or download/sync files.

Now, nada. I tried installing both banshee and ryhthmbox on the off chance that perhaps they were needed or had a needed driver packaged. Still nothing.

Is LL missing a driver or file reference to identify this device?

So I was trying to install linux lite, and I succeeded in doing so. But I must've done something wrong because whenever I boot normally, I get a screen that has 4 options: Ubuntu, Advanced options for Ubuntu, Memory test (memtest86+), and Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200). No matter what option I choose, the computer restarts and I get the same screen again. I have tried many settings, but to no avail. I am running a Dell DM051 Bios Revison A02. The last time I did the memory test, I ended up getting 68000000+ errors. I can't do a clean install due to the fact that the computer I'm writing this with right now is the only one that connects to the internet. It runs chromeOS and therefore can't create bootable iso's, and I can't turn the Linux settings on. I can only do the basic BASH commands, so I can't do something like fdisk, mount, etc, etc. Also, for some reason, /vmlinuz doesn't exist. Running the 'ls' command, I get (hd0), (hd0,msdos5), (hd0,msdos1), and fd0.

I have 1tb external HDD with exfat format . exfat using because I have windows 10 & macos laptop.
this format best way to communicate with all OS. But when I copy more that 100gb file
movie, document, picture folders on LL5 ,  my touchpad mouse complete hang , I'm not able to open
any single window until finish copying. that's problem I never face with windows and macos. so I
search google . find some solution in ubuntu site . add few lines like this in /etc/sysctl.conf

vm.swappiness=10
vm.dirty_background_ratio=1
vm.dirty_ratio=2

restart computer and again I try to copy 60gb+ file to LL 5, same problem again. but when I put back
all file to my external HDD , touchpad works well , I can work side by side with copying.
I think maybe exfat file system problem . If I completely make ext4 file system to my external HDD
do it make same problem when coping ? If anyone know, please give me guide . why large file copy problem ?

Switched platforms for this task.

Here's my install of the 5 series with a older but most beautiful wallpaper.Host: Dell Inspiron 5558Intel i5-5250U (4) @2.700GHzGPU1: Intel HD Graphics 6000GPU2: Nvidia GeForce 920M

Hiya Folks,
I don't know if any of you folk have used the editor Micro. Tried it today and have say what a nice little editor.
It is downloaded via SNAP.
It has some great features, like ctrl s for save and the old ctrl c and ctrl v works a treat for copy and paste.
And when you make an error, and haven't we all when we accidentally deleted a line in nano and poof gone. In micro
you are able to ctrl z and ctrl y, just love those.
It also allows you to use the mouse proper in the editor.
It has a lovely colour scheme selection as well.
If you have not tried it, give it a go.
I am really liking it at the moment.
regards
H

I don't know why linux Lite is always associated as a beginner's distro. On my workstation I run Solus os on my other workstation Arco linux both rolling releases, one more stable than the other but that's a different discussion.
Since tonight I have installed linux lite on an older dell-inspiron laptop and for me this is a very workable system and indeed if you come across from windows you will feel right at home in it but the advanced user can really appreciate this system. But when are you an advanced user by the way?
The Windows 10 version that was on it had probably received 6 GB updates in recent months and was no longer workable for daily use, despite plugging in an SSD.
With the installation of linux Lite 5, this laptop can again stand its ground.
Nothing but credit to the developer and his team, linux Lite is what Xubuntu should be.

I am a novice user of linux lite currently using 3.6


Please could someone help. I am not sure if someone is accessing my laptop.


Is it possible to tell and know for sure?


I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you for reading.

Hello everyone,

I've recently started using POP OS! on my laptop and liking it so far. I know whenever I install a fresh windows pc I have certain programs I need or atleast want to have on it before I can start using it like I want. Since I'm new to Linux I don't have this knowledge yet on some easy to use or must have things. Everything is appreciated, I like learning new stuff but some things I am looking for:

- printscreen program where I can easily take a SS of a part of the window and edit it. I tried Flameshot but it kinda bugs out on me.

- Music/Video Player with subtitle support.

- Easy file manager, something in the line of windirstat where you can easily see what is hogging all my harddrive space.

-Remote desktop Client, something I can use RDP files with, I use Remmina now, but I would like some other alternatives if there are ones.

-Any Linux exclusive games that look like dwarf fortress

-Anything else you find usefull in your daily use of Linux

I have x32 LL installed, fresh install 3mos ago.I have been losing hard drive space.
I finally found where it went, SYSLOG is 42GB in size.  ./var/log/syslog
This is on a 70gb drive.
How do I delete or clean this?  It will not let me by normal means.
Is it safe to just delete it? HOW? 
Can it be cleaned/recovered?
How can I stop this from happening?
I tried Bleachbit, but I do not see an option for syslog.
Help Please
TIA
