Hi;I have linux lite X32 installed on an old laptop.
It has ran for over a year. I keep it updated at least weekly.
This past week it started locking up.  I then got error message hard drive full.I checked and it was at 100% 72gb. and it then started not loading properly..
I deleted all files in downloads and media. emptied trash. got it to 97%.
I had next to no files on this laptop.
How do I find/get rid of/clean up the excess files  70+gb excessive for OS and very few apps.
Why would drive fill up, I have no downloads/music/videos.

TIA

I have used different versions of Lite and have never had issues with my Canon CanoScan Lide 35 scanner. I am using Lite 5.0 and I cannot get the Quality Brightness or Contrast settings to work. I have removed and re-installed the app several times. It seems that some dependencies may be missing. Any help will be appreciated.

In LL4.8, the ufw firewall was simple to operate, just set it to autostart on boot.

In LL5.0, Firewalld seems very complicated.
I can't figure how to make it start at boot and the options are,
at least to me, not understandable.

Also, what is Firewall-cmd and how does it figure into Firewalld ?

Is it ok to just use the default Firewalld settings ?

And how do you start Firewalld and how do you autostart it on boot ?

And once you have it running, how do you disable it if needed and
then re-enable it ?

I've tweaked many menu entries with the menu editor.

  • For example I've added a category "Schrfiten" (which means "fonts").
  • Also I've added the program name to several program entries, because f. e. I have installed multiple text and graphic editors.
See screen shots with example details

Will the update to LL 5 overwrite my menu entries?

Hiya Folks,

I have installed Cherrytree 0.39.3 today as I had just installed LL 5.0. this week.

The LL4.8 also had Cherrytree installed.

Problem:

In the previous install I could copy and paste text and images from a web page, into Cherrytree, no problem

In this version that was installed via snap store only copies the text, and does not copy paste the images as well.

I have searched the google and come up with no answers as yet. Has any body had this problem and found a fix?
thanks
H

Just wanted to say Hi, and also complement on a wonderful install on my older Acer 5520-5912 Amd turion 64x2 tl58 with Nvidia 7000m graphics that on other distros I had to fudge drivers and such for the graphics but this one was just clean and unexpected I guess.. I breathed a sigh of relief when I booted the live version and it just worked..everything so far just works!!! So it was on to install and it just works!!! Thank You guys so much

Oh also I tinker with computers quite a bit but not an expert, my Son is the expert so when I need help..in fact he gifts me things like a Dell Poweredge R610 server for Christmas so I have set up Proxmox with Ubuntu lxc, plex server, and still experimenting. I am using refurbished office computer as HTPC, and use raspberry pi's as well, so I do like to play around with operating systems. And I work in Tool and Die/ Vinyl window extrusion environment so not even related.
Oh and I hate to throw away old computers it just seems like a waste, but I might have a problem.
