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?

I am getting updating error. Please advise. Thank you.

If your getting the following error message during updates in 3.x:

Fix with the following:


Then run Install Updates again.

tax time around the corner, looking for a new printer, scanner(all in one).
that uses separate cartridges, black cartridge, one cartridge for each color cartridge.
total  number of cartridges "4".
why ?, because if you run out of one of the 3 colors that are in one cartridge , it becomes a head ache.

my budget $$$ ,is 100.00 dollars or less, plus i hoe the cartridges are refillable , i actually done that before, in years past.

i am using linux lite 4.2.

i say thanks to every one who replies , hugs.

Hello, I have two type of files XEX and HYP that use two different Wine programs.

But when I try to open a HYP it uses the program for XEX.

If I change the file association to the program for HYP, then the XEX tries to use that program so it is a loop.

Is this a wine issue or linux lite issue?  How can I straighten this out?

LL4.2 load time (5min+ No V Box) is 16 times longer than LL3.8   


I have attached a page showing errors that appear during loading.

I am another Linux Newbie, and loved LL3.8. Unfortunately, LL4.x to date is a great disappointment.
On an SSD I have to wait 16 times as long for LL4.x to load as LL3.8 as timed from GRUB to Desktop.       
Virtual Box services have been removed as recommended and no longer, show in systemd-analyze blame.

I own a Toshiba Satellite A200-06V made around 2007. Vista era.
CPU=Intel Core2Duo T5250 @1.5GHz, I have upgraded from HDD to SSD and RAM from 1GB to 4GB.
Storage device load times > (NOTE: LL4.2 has V Box services removed)
              HDD                       SSD
LL3.8 0 min. 54sec.               0 min. 18sec. (SSD takes 33% of time of HDD)
LL4.2 334sec. (5min.34sec.) 293sec. (4min.53sec.) (SSD takes 88% of time of HDD)

With LL4 the HDD/SSD activity light shows remarkably little activity – mostly none at all.

I then tried an installation of LL4.x on a Dell Vostro_1400 (2x Intel Core2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz). The results were similar to those above.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Finally I installed LL4.2 in an HP Pavilion dv6500 (dv6627ca) laptop with dreamed of results - Fabulous.
This has an AMD chipset. CPU=AMD Turion 64x2  TL-58 @ 1.9GHz, RAM=2GB 
The HDD activity light was very busy. Load times from grub to desktop were:
Storage device load times > (NOTE: LL4.2 has V Box services removed)
            HDD       SSD
LL3.8 68 sec.         18 sec.
LL4.2 76 sec. 21sec (Not the 293 sec. 4m:53sec with the Toshiba\Intel chipset)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
LL4.x runs beautifully on both computers once it has loaded but who will wait 5+ min. for the OS to load.

Last September I visited a local Linux Community group. Three Linux sages concluded that it was a Kernel problem vis-à-vis my Intel chipset and that my problem would probably be resolved with updates before very long. I have updated the Kernel from 4.15.0-24-generic #26-Ubuntu to 4.16.0 to 4.17.0  to 4.20.0 (Lite Tweaks) with no noticeable  improvement in load time.

I know this problem is not unique but I have not found an answer to my problem in this Forum.
I tried this below as best as I could. Neither 1 nor 2 made any difference.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/893817/b...per-errors

Advice on this subject would be much appreciated, as I would dearly love to be able to use LL4.x
Thanks In anticipation.

Hello.
My system is working properly, it is a LL 4.2 installation, and the partitioning is:



Device          Description
-------------    --------------------------
/dev/sda1    Boot, Ext4
/dev/sda2    Root, Ext4
/dev/sda3    Home, Ext4
/dev/sda4    Misc_storage, NTFS


I need to resize my root partition, but I guess it can't be done on a running system.
I know it could be resized by booting from a Live USB drive, but won't this mess up my installation, preventing it from boot?


I don't want to change the partitioning, I just need to allocate more space for said partition. Additional space is available on the same drive.


Can you guys recommend what to do?


Thanks!

I just installed LL 4.0 and followed the instructions to dual boot alongside Windows 7.  The install went great, but how do I get to windows now?  I don't see it anywhere.  Did I overwrite it and now it's gone?  That wouldn't be the end of the world, I just want to know if I should try harder to figure it out or just accept that windows is gone.

Hi, I've got three Menu items that do not point to any program and I can not get rid of them. These items do not show in the menu editor. Is there a way to manually edit the menu and delete residual entries? If so, a detailed step by step would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
