I have just installed Lite 5.0 (a clean install) on a new build PC using old parts and it seems to be running rather slow, for example if I shut down Firefox and click on Menu, it can take up to 10 sec for the menu to open. It is as if Linux is using the hard disk to shift data instead of RAM.

When I use the drives icon and try to open the hard disk I get an error "Can't mount file". Is this normal? When using the Disks app to look at the hard disk partitions there is a FAT32 partition there even though I used the option to erase the disk at install.

I'm afraid I am finding Linux very strange after being a Windows user for a long time and my experience with the command line is very limited so please be gentle with me. BTW, I have searched the forum for answer to this stuff with no luck, but that could be because I don't understand the replies to the posts!

Hi all, I am trying Linux for the first time after being a Windows user for many years and I am finding it a bit of a culture shock!
I have built and upgraded quite a few PCs over the years and the PC I am using for Linux I made from parts from past upgrades as I have been led to believe that Linux Lite will work ok on older machines. I need some advice, but I will post on the main forum.

While installing a .deb package with Gdebi, i get the following message..[dependency is not satisfiable libssl1.0.0(>=1.0.0)]. How can this be resolved?I am running latest 5.0 version and libssl version is 1.1.1.Kindly consider the fact  that I am a non-techie and not so command line savvy...though I am not entirely new to linux. I am running this from a 64GB USB 2 Flash drive..full installation. Thanks

please i would like to know how to stop changing time in windows 7? I am using dual boot

Abro este hilo para reflejar mis dudas acumuladas al cabo de los dias y que sigo sin saber solucionar; como son varias las he agrupado en este post para no ocupar demasiado espacio.

Tema Salvapantallas
No es que sea una necesidad acuciante pero una y otra vez cuando tengo que ausentarme del Computador veo que a la vuelta sigue la misma imagen en la pantalla, y me pregunto: como activar el Salvapantallas y que funcione?.
Lo he intentado con las herrramientas del Menú, pero no doy con el truco.¿Alguien me puede encaminar a la solucion?. Se lo agradeceré y los pixeles de la pantalla tambien.

Tema Ipv6
Ya llevo tiempo utilizando la formula de desactivar el Protocolo IPv6 (que de momento veo innecesario) y que al usar una VPN es recomendable su anulacion; hasta aqui bien ....pero una vez hecho esto y cuando tengo la necesidad de suspender la sesion por algun motivo, me encuentro a la vuelta que lo que habia desactivado a traves de la Terminal (sudo sysctl -p) está otra vez ACTIVADO!!. Es esto el comportamiento normal? es que no hay forma de hacerlo permanente?....por lo menos hasta que quiera yo revertir la situacion?. Ahi lo dejo  y a ver que me comentan los Linuxliteos!

Tema chkrootkit
Hace algun tiempo me interesé por descubrir alguna herramienta que me escanéara el sistema por si habia tropezado con algun bichito de los que te hacen la puñeta.  Y encontre chkrootkit y la verdad me parecio intresante y la instalé a traves del Terminal. Hasta aqui todo bien ....escanea el sistema y te da un informe a traves de Terminal de lo que ha encontrado; afortunadamente hasta el dia de hoy en mi caso, no ha encontrado nada y yo tan feliz. Pero ya me ha surgido la pregunta ¿ y si encuentra algo....como lo localizo lo borro o lo elimino?....todo la info que recibo es a trves del terminal pero no se como tratarla en caso de aparecer algo. No tiene herramientas de borrado ni cuarentena ...entonces que hago??
Con la cara de interrogacion os dejo estas preguntas que un novato como yo no termina de aclarar....espero que esta comunidad me ayude a ello ( los hay muy sesudos!!).
Un saludo y a cuidarse. Espero noticias!!

Hi, I have Linux-Lite 5.0 and downloaded Webcam Booth from the Lite Software source. The Webcam Booth (Cheese) takes pics and videos well, but there is no audio in the videos. When I open the video file, it opens with VLC media player. I made sure in VLC tools that audio was enabled. What could be the problem? I have a built in webcam on my pc. I know my mic works, because in the audio mixer, I can see the blue line moving when I speak in the microphone setting.

Hello,

I tried to installed on one of the 2 laptops I own LL50 and installed also refind from Windows 10.
- Refind works well
but
when I choose "Ubuntu" which is the label of LL for boot, It opens on GRUB which proposes also to all the OS I Have on my computer.
I made a search and I found on a Ubuntu forum how to leave Grub and I applied on my LL.
However,
when I launch LL vie Refind, it searches Grub without success and I cannot launch LL !

First Question :
- How to modify the Refind config File in order to be able to launch LL ?

Second question :
- on my second computer, how to install LL without GRUB ? By not creating a EFI partition ?

Both replies are important to me.

Hoping to read you soon

Regards

Hello, everyone!
My name is Şerban Stănescu, I am from România, Alexandria, Teleorman County.
I am a daily Linux user since 2012 and I do all kinds of tasks on Linux, mostly content creation tasks (writing books, creating graphics, music and video).
My "industry" -- so to speak -- is Personal Development and I use a computer to enhance my possibilities (courses, meetings, graphics, presentations, videos, etc.). I have some 25 years of daily practice, on various Windows versions and last eight years, entirely on Linux.
I've been on Linux Mint since 2012 till 2018 when I switched to Linux Lite and I have to say I am super-pleased.
Linux Lite, is among the extremely few distributions capable of allowing one to create an ECOSYSTEM.
Actually I know only two other distros capable of creating an ECOSYSTEM: Manjaro and Redcore.
All the rest, are simply dedicated distros.
With those being said, I guess you can figure out a few things about me and what am I interested in.
All the best!
Şerban Stănescu.
