I wish to clear all the command-line stored in the Terminal. I'm using LL3.6, the LX Terminal version being 0.2.0.

In an attempt to clear the backlog of stored command-line, I opened Terminal, clicked on "Edit", then "Clear scrollback".
On reboot, I opened Terminal, but pressing the arrows keys reveals that the backlog of stored command-line was not deleted.

How do I go about this?

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!

I recently came across this article at Fossybytes.com titled "10 Best Lightweight Linux Distros For Old Computers | 2018 Edition" in which its author, and co-founder of the site Adarsh Verma talks about "Which are the best lightweight Linux distributions for 2018?"

I started to read it and it just happens that LL is mentioned in third place, and the author says:

Quote:It’s a great Ubuntu-based lightweight Linux OS that’s based on LTS releases. It comes loaded with all the popular and useful applications like Mozilla Firefox, LibreOffice suite, Thunderbird email client, GIMP graphics editor, VLC media player, etc. It means that with Linux Lite, you’re in for an out-of-the-box functional Linux desktop experience. Linux Lite’s menu might remind some people of Windows XP. The beginner-friendly and lightweight Xfce desktop environment make things easier.

Overall, Linux Lite manages to do something that other popular Linux distributions struggle matching. Even after maintaining a lightweight stature, Linux Lite comes with all major tools and delivers an uncompromised performance

Quote:It’s also one of my personal favorite Linux distros.

Quote:keeping in mind the easy installation and hassle-free experience, I’ll recommend you to use Bodhi Linux, Ubuntu MATE, or Linux Lite on your old computer.

Hi [member=2]Jerry[/member]

My question relates to image and image manipulations. I love GIMP for advanced image processing and graphic design. It's great, and I was using it even before switching to LL.

But if all the user is seeking to do is crop or resize via GUI, the default ImageMagick package is not very user-friendly. I mean, it can be done but it's frustrating to use. Sometimes I even do that via Gimp instead, just because the GUI is so much better with GIMP, but for cropping and resizing I don't need the full functionality and long load time that comes with GIMP.

Finally, I decided to browse the Synaptic package manager to install an alternative for simple image manipulations on my machine. I installed gThumb. It is so much faster to use in the GUI than ImageMagick. It's a lot more intuitive, and certainly more modern-looking.

In a side-by-side comparison, I definitely feel that newbies would find gThumb so much easier to use as a GUI than ImageMagick when seeking to resize or crop and then save the result to file. Would you please consider evaluating gThumb for possible use in a future version of the LL distro? If not, I understand - you are very busy. I do feel it would make a positive change though.

Hi guys, I'd like to install LL 3.6x86 to an old Dell Optiplex G240.
During the starting proccess, even if safe mode is choosed, I was never successfull to boot into or install LL. Everytimes come a message on LCD - Input NOT supported :-(
I've tried a lot of another distros with same results. Only Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (with nomodeset) was OK, installed properly..

Any ideas? Thank for your time! Ermess

Good day.
I have used several Linux distros in the past, but have been using Winblows for the last five years. This is my first run with Linux Lite and for the most part have had zero problems. The one thing I'm having an issue with is that I can not seem to get scroll bar arrows in Firefox or Thunderbird. I installed Chrome and it does have scroll bar arrows. The Mozilla forums informed me to install a GTK3 theme, which I did. ...a few of them. Didn't help.

I know this seems like a minor issue, but for scrolling through emails and also making some menu selections, trying to navigate by grabbing the extra small scroll bar can be a major pain.

Anyone have any input on this?

Hello I'm Mark

I'm PC tech and I'm familiar with with Linux. I have to say Linux Lite has been a breeze to install and use. The learning curve is small, the system pretty much does what you want. I especially like the way the update manager works and easy to customizing the system.

Well done!

And 2018 just rolls on:
"Transmission, one of the most used non-commercial BitTorrent clients, has a vulnerability that allows outsiders to gain control over people's computers. The flaw affects users who have remote control enabled with the default password. The vulnerability was revealed by a Google researcher, who plans to disclose similar remote code execution flaws in other torrent clients as well."

THIS IS AWESOME!

Work to add features in VirtualBox Guest Additions to the Linux kernel is underway by kernel developers. The first fruits of their labor will appear in Linux 4.16.

These additional features are licensed under the GPL and sit in the kernel tree. That means no additional proprietary code or binary blobs are loaded on your system

Why does this matter?

Well, it means the next time you boot a Linux distribution with the Linux 4.16 (or later) kernel, VirtualBox Guest Additions will be already installed. You won’t need to enable, add, install or tweak anything (in theory).

Basic system integration features like seamless mode and copy and paste between guest and host will “just work”. Devs even plan to support shared folders out of the box in a future kernel release.
