Hello, this is kunal kapoor new member to this forum. 

Hi
I've been using Linux Light for a short time. I have a linux partition that I would like to make accessible to everyone. But some how I can't. Have a look:

Pensioner has an Acer Aspire E5-511 (4GB RAM) 500 GB HDD  64 bit Intel CPU,  currently on Win 10. Originally sold with Win 8

Given me 8GB USB stick on which I am to load LL4.2 for him to try out live i.e insert into usb port and boot up lappy  without him having to do anything else.  Trying to avoid confusion for him ( and me ).
Which Iso should I down load?  EFi  version  or standard please.?
Thanks.

In looking for a replacement for my dead gaming laptop (Asus G750JS), I've been looking at the Intel NUC mini-computers (not the fanless ones), as well as PC towers. One of the considerations was to have a GPU/CPU system that would be good enough for some gaming e.g Supertuxkart, Roblox, as well as the usual day-to-day admin tasks.

[size=1em]To enable comparisons, I used https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/  then checked costs at https://www.amazon.co.uk/  and presented the data as a spreadsheet table.  I thought I'd post my finds here, as they might be useful for anyone considering the GPU & gaming capabilities of some of the Intel NUC units that are available at the present time. [/size]

In the link below, graphics cards are arranged in order, performance decreasing as you read across the table from left to right. Unfortunately, the benchmark website didn't have any data for the Intel Iris Plus 655 graphics card - I assume this is because it's very new on the market. I've included details of my dead Asus gaming laptop for a direct comparison:

I have both Lite an Kubuntu on same drive. Kubuntu currently owns Grub. I want Lite's grub, because it (very intelligently) remembers the last system that was used, which is usually Lite. I'm probably going to jettisoning Kubuntu eventually, once I figure out how to do so safely (so Lite still boots). Until then, I have to choose Lite every time I boot, as Kubuntu is always the default in its version of grub.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi everyone,

I've been consolidating files from a few different external hard drives onto my laptop, and I want to delete duplicates. I've searched around a found a few different ways to do this, but still need some direction.

I installed the dupeguru_4.0.3~trusty_i386.deb package from https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/, but now I can't open it. I realize it was made for a different Linux OS--is that the problem?

And I don't understand how to use fdupes or fslint (though I understand from the forums here that fslint has given people problems.

Thanks for any help!

Was reading the forum this morning about selling Linux Lite on refurbished laptops. JesusLinux mentioned about changing the battery on refurbished computers:https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/on-topic/linux-lite-branded-laptop/msg46021/?topicseen#msg46021I just wanted to mention that if you are using a computer that is around 10 years old, you might want to think about it anyway. A family member gave me a Lenovo M58p they were having trouble with. The BIOS needed to be updated as it was way out of date. But the big clue was that when the power was disconnected from the computer the BIOS date would revert back to 2009. The date the computer was manufactured. The clues were there, and the answer was simple. The CMOS/BIOS battery needed to be changed. Here's the good news if you're thinking about doing it. The batteries are cheap to buy. They are standard 3 volt coin batteries. In North America you can buy them at Dollar Tree, Dollararma, etc. Three to a pack for $1.00 - $1.25. On an older Lenovo or HP Compaq it takes longer to get the battery out of the package than it takes to change it. So if you're using an older desktop, something to think about. Laptops would be a little trickier. Web search time.

Dear friends,

Yesterday, I had been installed and completed Linux Lite, also Plank for it. But when I config position is left and option unhide dock, the screen appeared a line vertical show all on app. Please see the photo: https://imgur.com/a/RRoFgPf

How can I fix it, please let me know. Thank you very much!

Hi folks,

Betas are being replaced by RC's (Release Candidates).

Given that our Beta builds to date have traditionally been highly stable, it makes sense to introduce a more accurate build stage category.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_r...life_cycle

I've also had people ask me to make the Betas (in this case now the RCs) stand out more. So in future, all RC builds will have a clear watermark in the bottom right hand side of the default wallpaper only. This will be moved somewhat to the left to accommodate for those that use Lite Widget. The Final of each release will not have any watermark.

This will start with the 4.4 release.

I currently have Lite and Kubuntu on same hard drive. I have found that I prefer Lite. If I get rid of Kubuntu, and expand the Lite partition to the whole hard drive, how can I make sure Lite will still boot OK? Currently, Kubuntu "owns" Grub as it did the last update for it.

Second part: I am also going to replace Kubuntu with Lite on my wife's laptop. Email isn't working right on Kubuntu so she isn't using it. If I just manually install Lite to the partition that Kubuntu is on, will that work? By work I mean, will both Lite and Windows 7 boot?
