My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad W520, a powerhouse with an i7-2720, 32 GB RAM, two fairly big SSDs, fingerprint reader, USB3, eSata and a color calibration tool - you name it, this was built for photo and video editing.

The printers are a Samsung M288 printer/scanner and a Brother MFC 6490CW2.

Recently I installed Ubuntu 18 LTS and ran into several problems - the machine did not boot properly, sound did not work and more, printer installation felt like a dentist appointment, Wifi was dead slow, Bluetooth did not work and a few more. I could fix some of that but it was no fun at all. So, I am ready to quit the "normal" Ubuntu world.

**As LL is based on Ubuntu, too, do I have to expect the same problems?

Did any of you ever successfully install this OS on a similar machine? **

Intended use:
1. Video editing with Shotcut
2. Audio editing
3. Photo editing
4. organization of media files
5. Standard tasks like web browsing, writing letters, spreadsheets etc.
6. Maybe, maybe use Wine or similar to work with the construction software SketchUp or Vectorworks plus a renderer or so.

Hi all, first post.

I did a writeup in the introduction thread and lost it by timing out.
Typical noob! haha... :    Anyway,

I have a Asus 1001px with a Realtek HD audio.
Unfortunately I have no sound from the inbuilt speakers.

Ive done some app checking and the settings look okay.
I also read through this topic page and found no self help solution.

Does anyone know what driver I need for this, maybe it's in the 32bit flavor.
Oh, it is a duel boot with W7 if that's of any use.

Thanks in advance, cheers.

Linux Lite makes No1 spot for ex Windows 7 users to use

Adapta is no longer maintained so we need to find something that goes perfectly with Papirus Icon theme.

A theme that has been maintained at least once in the last 3 months. Needs to have a light and dark theme.
Preferably GTK 3. Please provide a direct link if you are going to suggest a theme. Thank you.

Hey guys & gals,
I have not been using linux lite long but I am learning alot.  One thing that I have not figured out is the numbers that as part of the prompt.
I know that there can be multiple bash sessions going on in the background but I haven't figured what this means.
Any help is appreciated.
Joe

Just spent an hour composing my intro and I guess my login timed out and I lost it.  I'm shorting it up to follow the instructions after trying to update an "original" MacBook Air on two different APs on my home network.

Posting this before it times out again.  Let me know what additional info is needed.  I'll be sure to copy before I preview so I can paste it in another post after logging back in.  :-)

Thanks!

hello.

i am facing two issues, appreciate if someone could help.

issue one, update: getting follow messages while updating
E: The repository 'http://deb.leap.se/client buster Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

issue two, upgrade: getting message notifying i am already on latest version (4.6) while version 4.8 is available.

Thanks.

Linux Lite 4.8. Booted on Live USB. Windows/User/* all my files are locked for saving, I can do a "Save As". Is there a way of unlocking them?
I can do a "Save-As" but that would be inconvenient.
Also in Libre Office my attempt to Export to pdf results in error: "Error saving the document xxx: General Error. General input/output error."
The Libre Office document "Read Onl" box is un-ticked.
All permissions are set to Read/Write for all user categories.

Any chance a driver could be made for this?
the solution offered here
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/print.../#msg33026
is really NOT for non-geeks, or could someone make it simpler?

Hi to everybody!
I'm Emanuel from Italy, I have just installed Linux Lite 4.6 on my Asus K50C  and get  1024x768 resolution with Vesa driver. I used instructions from: https://www.puolanka.org/goto/how-to-use...ic-driver/
Linux Lite seems to work fine, only a little slow on booting.
I hope this may help users of Sis671.
