Linux newbie, just installed LL 4.2 a few days ago. Per the Getting Stated screen I ran TimeShift the first day I had LL installed and made a complete system backup/restore point, if I understand that software correctly.

Now I'm backing up my Home directory to an external USB drive, and I believe Deja Dup is the correct tool for that. I'm running Deja Dup now, the first backup Iv'e done using that tool, so it's taking some time, as expected.

Do I understand this correctly, that TimeShift should be used to take entire system "snapshots" , and Deja Dup should be used to back up the Home directory (data only) on a regular basis?

Thanks.

Linux newbie here, just installed LL 4.2 a few days ago. So far everything is working well with no glitches. Delightful OS compared to my Win7/10 systems.

Question: Is there a Linux version of the MS card game Freecell? It came standard with Win7 but I haven't found a Linux version. I searched the forums here but didn't get any hits.

Thanks.

I've installed a clean 4.2, added Hebrew as a supported language right after first-time system-update and driver-update (buttons).
Each time I open the terminal I get a Traceback related to a language that does not exist.
As far as I know Hebrew encoding is 'he_IL' while English languages are usually 'en_*' (en_UK, en_US,..).
It seems that adding a language that is not English kept the preset 'en_'.

Hello Everyone. I'm new to Linux and Linux Lite. Formerly a Windows 7/10 user. I was ok with using Win7 for many years, but do not like Win10 and all the cost/performance/update issues that MS added with it. As I get older I'm trying to simplify my computer experience, not make it more challenging dealing with Win10.

Using a Live USB I tried various flavors of Linux, including Mint, Ubuntu, and Manjaro. All are very good and I liked them all. Also tried Fedora, didn't care for that one as much. I found Linux Lite and for some reason it seemed to be the best fit for me.  Good combination of ease of use, pre-installed software, Xfce, etc.

I just installed LL 4.2 on my old desktop PC, and LL runs perfectly on it. I have a lot of exploring to do, coming from the Win7/10 environment, so I'm looking forward to learning more about LL and Linux OS in general.

Thanks.

I'm kinda new to Linux, and I'm learning to do (what I think it's only Windows-slang) desktop shortcuts (or soft links?) for things I find useful. And I think I found a bug while adding custom items to show up in the Whisker Menu. Here's what I do:

I'm using Linux Lite 4.2 with the default desktop environment.

1- Right-click the Whisker Menu / Edit Applications
2- In the MenuLibre window that pops up, I click on the "Other" category in the left menu (or could be any other category for that matter).
3- Click the + button and then "New Launcher".
4- In the Command text bar, I write the full path to a soft link that points to my executable, e.g. /usr/bin/soft_link_to_exec
5- In the Working Directory, I type in just the soft link's containing folder e.g. /usr/bin
6- I click "Save Launcher", and click the "Test Launcher" button. The application launches successfully. I close the MenuLibre window.
7- I click the Whisker Menu and start typing the application, and it does NOT appear.

Now, to get it to appear:

8- Launch the MenuLibre window again, delete the newly created launcher, and close the MenuLibre window.
9- Follow steps 1-7 again EXCEPT for step 2 (meaning, as soon as the MenuLibre window opens, go straight to the + button and then "New Launcher")
10- The item should be listed when typing in the Whisker Menu bar.

Can someone reproduce this issue on their end?

Thanks.

In the wake of the mysterious early death of my gaming laptop (Asus G750JS), after 3 years and 10 months, I'm considering replacing it with a new, more robust system to run with LL. It was an i7-HQ4710 machine with dual graphics (Intel HD 4600 & nVidia GTX870).

It would seem that a PC Tower wins over a Laptop for cost, better cooling, and flexibility for upgrading, but loses out on its greater power consumption, and lack of portability. Of course no system is perfect, and inevitably there will be some element of compromise. The other consideration is what CPU and graphics card am I going to choose for the replacement system, given that it will be used for occasional gaming (e.g. Supertuxkart, Roblox)?

Processors
Intel CPUs appear to run cooler at faster speeds, though are more expensive than say AMD ones. As well as the greater cost, they seem to come with some other issues, e.g. the complication of UEFI, as well as the Spectre & Meltdown issues (though these now seem to be patched).  Given this, would AMD, or other processor brands, be potentially more trouble-free with LL?

Graphics Cards
I've read around that nVidia, in general, doesn't play very well with Linux, and Linus Torvald appears to have strong views on the subject! That said, I've found that nVidia does appear to give very good quality graphics, where Intel graphics may struggle or not work at all. However, there are other choices out there, e.g. AMD graphics - Radeon cards seem very popular but do they work well with Linux, and more specifically with LL.

Hardware Database for LL
To help make an informed decision about a CPU/Graphics setup, I browsed the LL hardware database at https://www.linuxliteos.com/hardware.php  The only snag with these data is that no personal comment is given, by the user, as to how well the CPU/Graphics hardware worked with LL. For example, a while ago, I installed the LL3 series on a Samsung NP-N145 Plus netbook with an Intel Atom [email protected] CPU (2 threads), uploaded the data to the hardware database, but later had to abandon LL3 on that netbook, as it lagged significantly.

I'm in no rush to go out and buy a replacement system (quite happy to wait a year) as, given how much these things cost & £ being a bit tight generally, I want to make an informed decision for something that will last. Any feedback much appreciated as ever ...  8)

Cheers

Hello All. I just registered and this is my first post here. I'm having an issue with my Linux Lite install. I searched in the forum but didn't see an answer so hopefully this has not been asked 100 times already...

I'm a rookie with Linux, and this is my first install attempt. Basically I want to completely erase my current Windows 7 OS on an old HP desktop and replace it with Lite 4.2. I've backed up my Win7 data files to external USB drive, so there's nothing in the Win7 OS that I need to keep.

I downloaded the Lite 4.2 ISO image, verified it, then created a Lite 4.2 bootable USB using Rufus on Win7. I restart the PC using the USB drive and it boots the PC into Linux Lite Live mode. So far so good.

When I select the "Install Linux Lite" icon on my desktop, right after the language preference question, this message appears on my screen:

"The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sdg

Do you want the installer to try to unmount the partitions on these disks before continuing?  If you leave them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on these disks, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there."

I'm not sure what this question is asking me and didn't know how to respond, so I backed out and quit the installation process. My guess would be to answer Yes but wanted to make sure before going any farther.

Has anyone in this forum seen this message before, and if so, how should I answer the question?

Thanks very much.
