XFCE 4 has few problems with Intel HD graphics. Any suggestions for a new DE? Will installing a new DE erase all the data?

I installed LL awhile back on an old hard drive, just to check it out. I don't remember if it was 32 or 64 bit. Recently, I decided I really liked it, and cloned that disk to a newer one. The version I had was 3.4, so I upgraded to 3.8, the latest. That went smoothly.

During registration for this forum, I had to specify my version of LL. It was pre-filled in as 32 bit. I checked the system info app, which said it is (X86_64), which kind of of confused me.

So, which version do I have?

Thanks,

mdiemer

New member here, liking LL more and more. I would like to install a good but simple calendar, and am looking at Day Planner. It looks like I need Gdebi to install it. I made some unsuccessful attempts to download and install it (Gdebi), and would like to know the best way to do this.

Thanks, and great operating system,

mdiemer

Hi my name is Casino,chosen because I was born in a Casino,absolutely no IT background,been using Linux for around 16 years,I have been an avid distro hopper but slowed that down a little now.
What I know about Linux is entirely self taught and acquired by reading forums ,articles and everything I could find about Linux,the cruel wags would say I still do not know much about Linux !
I am absolutely amazed at the quality of Linux Lite,on a par with Linux Mint and far ahead of some of the Buntus,it is just that everything just works first time every time and many top name distros have surprising glitches in them and the same glitches appear release after release.I particularly like being able to install the latest Kernel.My set up is a Biostar Celeron N3050H mobo in a minibox M350 case,with 8GB of ram and a Samsung 840 120GB SSD ,with no case fan,no processor fan and an external power supply it is completely silent with a nominally  6 watt power draw it runs on less than a tenth of the power of my other computers and is as quick as the Pentium 3Gig that I used as my main computer only a few years ago.I hope to get to know some of you over the coming months,I do believe that quality software attracts quality folks and it will be a pleasure to be in your company ! Smile

Just a minor issue - I used the Kernel installer in Lite Tweaks to add a 3.16 kernel to my machine.

Noticed that after reboot it did not present grub menu - just booted to 4.xx as before.

Easy enough to fix but I wonder if there is an omission in the installer script?

Other than that so far really liking what's been done to LL in the last few years - 3.8 is really nice.

Hey dudes,

I got a notification saying that I can upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 after I updated LL using the Software Updater. Will this change the my distro or just upgrade the Ubuntu base?

Thanks.

Hi

I used LL a lot some years back (2013) and was delighted to see that 3.8 supports installation of older kernels.

Some of my hardware will not behave properly with anything after 3.16 so this looks like a winner for me.

One question - do these kernels get all the security updates etc as and when they come through to the new ones or are they fixed?
