Had a chance to install LL4.0 today.

I like having the Recycle Bin icon showing on my desktop to drag files there to delete.

When trying to drag a file into the Recycle Bin, a blue + sign shows when the file is on top of the Recycle Bin, but when I let go, a Trash- File Manager opens,  but the file I want to delete doesn't get placed in the Recycle Bin.

Just installed 4.0 to an older Dell Inspiron One (Athlon 2). Quanta Touch screen along with all apps works perfectly. Dual booting with Windows 7 for a friend/customer (network) He is immensely impressed. Once again LL excels.

Greetings! A Lite newbie here. Installed first Lite 3.8 and noticed after two days that 4.0 is out - so, I reinstalled.
I have been using SuSE Linux since 1997 - 20 years - but it has become a huge mess recently, so I began to search for
a new distribution and after testing a couple of Ubuntu flavors, I finally installed Lite - and I Love It!

Jerry & co. have done a great job! Everything works like charm in this one. And no need to buy new hardware.
I used to have 4Gb RAM in my laptop and after opening a session, the browser and a couple of programs, my openSuSE Leap
began to swap and working with it became impossible. And the whole distro is currently just a huge mess - most of the
time just trying to solve problems with the OS instead of trying to do real work with it.
No such problems with Linux Lite, this is so easy to use and fast as heck even though this laptop is nearly 10 years old.

So, nice to join this forum. I don't know how many Lite users there are but in my opinion all of them have made a good choice.

It appears that slow booting has been a problem with Linux Lite for some years. I downloaded and installed LL 4.0 last night and was about to discard it when a search turned  up these steps:

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

replace GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash profile”

sudo update-grub2

sudo leafpad /etc/init.d/rc

find this line : CONCURRENCY=none or CONCURRENCY=makefile
replace with : CONCURRENCY=shell

sudo apt purge virtualbox*
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl stop vboxadd-service.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd.service
sudo systemctl disable vboxadd-service.service

untick the vbox client in the menu, settings, session and startup, application auto-start setting.

I do not think that software so recently released should require a user to do such things, specially as LL is said to have been designed for first time Linux users.

I mentioned recently that rainlendar2 does not work on LL 4.0. (I have a desktop which is still running LL 3.8 and a laptop which has now been upgraded to LL 4.0) I have since found that there is a general consensus on the rainlendar forum that there is some problem with Ubuntu 18.04. Anyway, I tried out various ideas and nothing worked. So I have done what I should have thought of in the first place. On the laptop I installed the older version of rainlendar2 and that is working fine. So, until this is sorted I will stay with the earlier version.

My only question is, if this is ever sorted out, how will I ever know? Still, this is just a suggestion for anyone on this forum who is having the same problem. Meanwhile thanks for a great distro.

Ok, I've been playing with LL most of the morning to try to become familiar with it.  I'm amazed I can get around so well in it so quickly.  Thanks for making it so user friendly.

I've not had any problems with LL so far but I'm a digital tablet user and want to set up my Wacom tablet with it.  I searched the forum here and didn't see any posts about tablets and just want to avoid any pitfalls before I attempt the installation. 

I found some directions at the Ubuntu forum (I think it was) which said everything was pretty much plug and play.  Is that the case with LL also? 

Is there anything I should be aware of before I try to hook up the tablet?  Will the drivers update automatically as they have in the past (although I'm sure there won't need to be many driver changes with LL)? 

This will be my first major change and I don't want to mess it up.  If the tablet is installed successfully, maybe I'll have the confidence to tackle the printer next!

I have Sony VGC-LA1 with a built-in webcam (ID 0ac8:c002 Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC1) that is not working.
It has been checked with Skype, VLC, and Cheese. No results.
Is there any chance to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

When starting LL 4.0 on my laptop, it takes a considerable amount of time getting to the user log in screen after entering my password for cryptsetup ("Please unlock disk sda5_crypt").

Would someone please briefly explain this type of encryption system (in simple terms), if it's necessary and how to disable it?

Thank you!
