Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I noticed that each and every Lite tool is under settings category and while I understand the logic behind this, I wonder if having them under their own category in the menu wouldn't be a better approach; easier to find and adds up to LL personality I tried doing it myself but there's no option to create a new category with menulibre, or at least I couldn't figure out how to do it. 

When I minimize a windows, shouldn't it be shown on the bottom panel? So you can click on it to bring it up?
It's not happening on my setup. I often "lose" windows that way, and have to keep hitting alt + tab to find them again.

Thanks,

Mike

I recently forgot my debit card pin number I remembered the numbers cause I always use the same ones but change the sequence and used to write it down but last time I forgot to do it and well...While I was googling for a way to generate the possible combinations for those numbers I found this article (yes, I know. I could just write all the possible combinations down in a piece of paper but I felt kind of lazy  ) http://www.datagenetics.com/blog/september32012/ and thought of sharing here. Hope you enjoy it just as I did.

For anyone with a valid license trying to install Guitar Pro 6 for Linux on Linux Lite and were running in to issues with dependencies, I found instructions that works perfectly on my LL 3.8 and so now I am 100% Windows free!  Yay.  Here's the link to the instructions.

WOW! Long time, no post! I can't believe how long it has been since I was on the forum and posted anything. I have checked in once in a while to read over a few threads, but I've been swamped with other issues.

So, with egg on my face, here is my question. I have a buddy that finally decided to give Lite a whirl. He downloaded and installed ver 4.2 and I just recently upgraded my install from ver 3.4 to ver 3.8 so I can't really compare my laptop to his desktop, version to version. I have absolutely ZERO problems which is probably at least one of the reasons I haven't been around on the forum. I've got ver 3.8 now on both my laptop and my wife's and both have been trucking along merrily for a year and a half with ZERO glitches.

Anyway, on with the question. My buddy had issues with Power Management on his install. He couldn't get his PC to sleep. By the way, he installed on a desktop PC, then manually added the Power Manager Plugin to the panel. He uses a Logitech wireless mouse that he wanted to keep tabs on then he also wanted to put his monitor to sleep since he leaves his PCs running 24/7. I have tried talking him through the issue via emails and texts. I have also searched the forum for similar problems. I can find no reference to anything similar so thought I'd just ask.

Has anybody experienced a problem with Power Management not wanting to put a monitor to sleep in ver 4.x, or for that matter, with any version? If so, how did you resolve the issue?

And hello Jerry and gang! 8)

The other day, I was downloading videos on a G750 Asus laptop, without any issues as usual. I've had it for only 4 years. When I went to use it the following day, it refused to switch on, and the LED status lights on the front of the chassis didn't light up at all. I did the usual thing like check the power supply (it was fine). I took it to our local and very excellent computer repair shop and they checked everything but couldn't get it to work.  They said they see this quite a lot with gaming laptops, often overheating and the motherboard then breaks down.

Wondered if you had a similar experience. Really disapointing as these laptops are really expensive - the 17" one I had was ~ £1200 - never again - I think I'll go for a Raspberry pi instead, LOL  :

Will the 'Preload' app, which is listed in Lite Tweaks, enhance performance on a 12 year old laptop which already has an SSD?


Thanks

Hi,
Preferring forum friendlyness over the cold  monopolistic marketing search engines, I post to thee!
I'll have a Mac "intervention" this week-end. Does LL/ubuntu support the MAC FileSystem?
If not by default, any suggested programs that would do this?
Cheers!

Hello.  I installed 4.2 today on my main laptop after having a great experience with 3.8 on an old laptop I use in the garage.  After installation, on boot up a text message, "Disk write filters not supported", displays temporarily with the option to hit enter to continue.  It subsequently proceeds to boot up without action from the user.  It does not appear to have any effect on system performance after loggin in, only a slight delay during the boot up.  Research reveals it as a bug, dating back several years, in the grub with several different solutions.  I was wondering someone from the community has, or knows of, a preferred "correct" way to resolve, and more importantly the cause of it.  Thanks.
