I am using Linux Lite 3.2. The system keeps on hanging very often When I tries to access the Samba Folders for any read or write activity. I am using  3.20 version. How do I rectify this error.

One of the big pluses with LL is the ability to install older kernel versions easily.

However, what I would like to know please is whether these are patched with updates as and when they occur?

Using uname -a suggests that they are frozen in time as the dates are old.

The introduction of fading scrollbars with GTK3 drove me up the wall esp. in synaptic and similar where the horizontal scroll bar could fade in and cover the bottom entry.

Simple answer is to add

Falkon is my favorite browser, but I'm having issues with it getting. Keeps freezing up on me. Any thoughts?

I have my panel plugins and indicators set up, but one issue remains.  The color of the indicator-keyboard plugin is grey instead of white and I don't know how to change it.

Here is a pic:


As you can see, everything is white, the keyboard layout indicator is grey.

I did a dpkg -L indicator-keyboard and only saw a /usr/share/upstart/sesssions/indicator-keyboard.conf file but nothing in it had a color setting.

Any suggestions to get the indicator to display in a white color?

I was trying to install on an Acer Aspire 5000    Mod:5002WLMi  laptop that has previously had Xubuntu, Ubuntu and Antix installed, all x64 versions.

It is an AMD Turion 64ML-30 processor, SIS chipset.
I will post a dmesg and lsdev link shortly, as I have to reinstall Antix to do that.
Here is the run down.
At post with DVD in I get Spectre v2 : Spectre mitigation: LFENCE not serializing, switch to generic retpoline
[0.061947]  ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element:2007 (20170031/dspkginit-381)
[0.061990]  ACPI Exception: Could not find/resolve named package element:2007 (20170031/dspkginit-381)

then continues to boot, I get all the way to "Who are you screen" and it hangs. It freezes and most of the time I can't
move the mouse, type or anything, it just freezes. On one attempt it did let me move it let me type, but what I typed is not
what was appearing, numbers were showing up where I was typing letters, sort of all scrambled up.
That is as far as it goes, just stays there frozen with the DVD thrashing away like it is still installing something, just keeps doing
that forever.
Ok here is the dmesg link;    https://pastebin.com/Lun8USax

Any suggestiongs?

Hi, i am coming from windows 7 to linux first time so if i ask any stupid question please forgive me. So, my question is when i as using Win7 i used DU Meter to track my internet speed in realtime without the need of opening any other application as it is always visible on the taskbar so i as wondering if there is any same solution for Linux Lite that can add Internet Speed on the panel ?

If I log out and log back in, my wifi connection won't reestablish a connection.  I have to shutdown and reboot.

I am using a usb wifi adpater to connect to my router but not sure if this is the issue or not.  Any suggestions how to fix this?  Thanks.

Since installing latest LL version (with latest Ubuntu LTS), every time I plug in a USB to charge cell phone, Shotwell opens up. Have no idea how to control this.

I installed the Mate' desktop environment on LL 4.2, but when I reboot I can't find where to select it to load instead of Xfce. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
