I recently installed Linux Lite on my Chromebook 3100 which has 16 GB storage, and since ChromeOS is a bigger OS it took up a lot of my Hard Drive. On Linux it knows that I have 16GB but it can't access it for whatever reason. I tried removing hardware write protection it's not protected with a screw. Any suggestions?

Gnome-boxes is probably the easiest virtualization/emulation software solution for new users. I have been using it for a month now on Linux Lite 6.6 and have had no issues at all. Give it a try if you are new to Linux. Its simplicity is quite comfortable.

Running LL 4.8.  I want to increase the time before the system goes to standby mode.  It is the mode after the display quits.  When I bring up the PM, it only stays on the desktop for about 1 second and then goes away.  Any other way to change these settings?

Thanks

Greets from sunless and drab British Isles..........

Hi!
Ive been using Linux based OS's for about ten years. I currently use several machines with Linux Mint Cinnamon and Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish (silly name or what?).

Im a masochist, I dual boot with Windows 11 and I also run Virtualbox's for test driving stuff.

Recently I found LinuxLite and I really like it. Im running LL 6.6 in my VB now. It has run faultlessly so I am pretty certain that this OS will be a breath of fresh air for a couple of my lower spec laptops. I may even adopt it on a couple of my better models.

I see this system has been well thought out and incorporates some damn useful stuff. It saved me hunting trough synaptic and software manager.

Any rate.............

Thanks, and Ill be keeping an eye on the forum here for sure.

hi i have a asus t100taf, it has a baytrail cpu.

i did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and it ended up messing up grub. so i can only get into the system with a recovery usb.  Because if i try to boot regularly i will end up at grub resucue.

this is the code i get when i try to run sudo apt-get grub-efi:

Code:
apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi

Hi, Linux Lite users,

  When I open a photo with Image Viewer, I sometimes like to use the "enhancement" tool. But lately, when using that tool, it erases the photo preview to a grey rectangle. What should I do?

Karen

This is supposedly the driver for my scanner.  My scanner is not detected when I try to scan something.  How do I install it?

Thanks

I have a slightly strange question. I noticed that I have 8 GB of RAM, and when I consume 4 GB of RAM (I launched a torrent), and the RAM is not completely full, then for some reason the system goes into swap, although the memory is still remained. Why is this happening?
