Thanks Jerry and team for your great work on LL. I've got a 13-yr old Dell Latitude D610; spent £20 on RAM upgrade and now have a fast and very stable machine. I'm a volunteer for AbilityNet ITCanWork in the UK so recommending Linux Lite for clients with older machines and no need for proprietary software or drivers. All best, David
I’ve used systemback to create a sblive USB for a chromebook I converted as I thought this would be a good choice rather than taking up some of the very limited space creating a restore point on this ex-chromebook (16 GB SSD).
After doing so I have a few questions:
1) first off when I created it I first clicked on convert to ISO and now I have a file in my /home folder that is an ISO that apparently I could burn to a CD/DVD. Since this was a mistake I wanted to delete/trash this ISO, however it will not permit me to do so...says I’m lacking permission.
Any idea how I can get rid of this file?
2) I then properly created a live USB of the system and from seeing other posts I believe I can use this USB to load LL 3.8 on to a different computer. What I was wondering is if there is a link providing me with a step by step (detailed please) of what I need to do when I boot from this USB on a new computer where I want to install LL 3.8?
I did fire it up this live USB once on the chromebook when I had to reinstall the chrome OS in order to set the SeaBIOS as default, but very early in the process it started asking something I didn’t understand so I bailed and went back to my LL 3.2 live USB, updated then upgraded back to 3.8
This latter step wasn’t too long, but it seems perhaps using the sblive USB might be quicker...
Can anyone suggest the steps or send me a link to do so as I have been unable to find detailed steps.

As always, with the exception of Pulse audio equalizer. Install without a hitch. Pulse audio equalizer, via Jerrys prompt reply, Lite is what I have come to appreciate since 2.0. Exceptional. Lite always recognizes my crappy VGA monitor due to my broken laptop screen. Thanks to all. My first effort with linux was lite 2.0 on a 32bit Dell pentium 4 with 1.5 gb ram. Burned and played 1080 videos with nary a hitch. That is when I ditched windows. lol, Tried win 10 upgrade on this Dell laptop. It worked, but, long gone now. I just put lite 4 on this old Dell a few hours ago. Cheap 32gb ssd. As always, it just works.i still maintain the original install at 2.0. Samsung 250gb that came with the laptop. Lite 3.8 on that from 2.0. I had uptime for 7 days and it did not miss a beat. Amazing! Idles at about 400mb. In that week I did hours of video converaion via winff. Again, thanks to Jerry and the crew.
Hi all
The reviews of Lite 4.0 are great and it looks terrific running live. The install went without issue except that on reboot there is no keyboard and no trackpad/mouse at the login screen. The cursor flashes a few times then stops. I can't get to a command line to try a fix. The notebook is essentially bricked.
Specs
Asus U31S
CPU Intel Core i3 380M / 2.53 GHz
Nvidia graphics card but using the Nouveau video driver. Nvidia driver was not installed.
Four GB memory.
I have had no similar problem with any other recent distro (Ubuntu Mate, Solus Mate, Archlabs).
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Cant thank you folks enough. Went to linux due to Lite 2.0, Just installed 4.0. As always, a pleasure. I have 3.8 on a seperate hdd on an old dell 1545 laptop since 3.0. NOT 1 CRASH. it boggles my mind. I have tried 25 plus distros in 4 years and Lite seems to always pass some nagging wifi and display problems. Thanks to Jerry and the crew. BTW, very quick reply to the pulse audio EQ question I asked. Amazing. Spent hours in support forums for my secondary Mint 18.3 XFCE install with zero results. Again, thanks.
The new LO in LL 4.0 seems to have at least moved or removed the memory settings that used to be >Tools>Options>Memory. Now it is a little more complicated. Memory settings are something that can make a performance difference for LO and big files on some 4gig RAM machines. It took me a few minutes to grasp the changes so some other users may have problems too.

Many of you will have heard of this proposed Link Tax with its requirement for sites to install expensive filter software. The Electronic Frontier Foundation say it could even put Wikipedia off the internet.
If that sounds scary, just read the whole article https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/06/eu...-wikipedia

The politicians do listen, get in touch.
I booted up and most of my programs are not opening, they show I clicked on them but do not open. Firefox, thunderbird, backup and restore, uninstall etc. I heve rebooted and repaired broken pkgs. repaired boot loader but nothing helped. Terminal works and I was able to open system summary but hardly anything else.I have been using this computer to get comfortable with linux so I am not well versed with the operations but I would like to try to repair it and get some use out of it. If I have to format and start over I would not lose anything important.
