Hi all, can I safely delete these 2 partitions? https://ibb.co/j9fGpb
Extended Partition 2 and the Swap partition 5? I can then expand the whole hard drive correct?


Thanks

Hello everyone. My story.

For the past decade or so I've been using mac OSX on various iMac and Macbooks.
Then back in March this year the graphics card failed on the expensive Macbook Pro which was of course just out of warranty by a few weeks  >

A replacement was going to cost crazy cash and I was becoming disillusioned with the locked down Apple ethos, so I started looking for a refurbished PCs running Windows 10 and after some research settled on a Thinkpad, a 2012 model X220 and the last to use the classic IBM style thinkpad keyboard but a still new-ish core i5 processor. Popped in the 8gb of ram and 1TB SSD from the old Macbook and I was a happy bunny. This like-new Thinkpad cost me $220. Having been away from windows for many years, I must say that Windows 10 is a pretty decent operating system - but oh they want to know everything, and it's invasive, and you can't stop auto updates...... far from ideal.

A friend suggested Linux so I've spent the past 2 months trying out the different flavors but mainly KDE Neon (nice), Mint Cinnamon (nice but limiting) Manjaro KDE (bios errors/fail) Deepin (lovely but resource hungry), and Antergos (Gnome). Of the bunch, Antergos worked really well but as someone new to Linux but not a computer newbe the rolling release Arch base left me uneasy. Countless daily update notifications means that something was bound to break sooner rather than later. I'd prefer a more stable platform.

So I happened across a Youtube review of Linux Lite and as I'd not yet experienced XFCE decided to install a copy.
Well this really is light on resources but certainly not light on features. I was very pleasantly surprised at just how customizable this is, and with a nice set of flat Papyrus icons installed and a dark theme, Lite looks very sharp indeed.

It flies along on this Thinkpad which actually runs cooler and with about an additional 1 hour of battery life compared to something like Deepin or Neon.

Well done Jerry and the team!

I have put LL 3.4 on two Chromebooks both have 2GB RAM and only 16 GB HD (or I guess accurately they have SSD).

On the one on which I am setting things up I noticed that when I do the df -h in terminal to see how much space I have unused it "appears" that I am currently at 92% full.  Is this possible? 

I had continued to do updates since initially installing LL 3.4 and when I tried to load Ktouch a typing program it indicated not enough room (when I checked df -h then it said 99%) so I went back to an earlier restore point and it read 86%.

So my two questions are:
1) is it possible that with the updates it is now taking about 14-15 GB?
2) Should I stop doing updates as might "not completely updating" cause more of an issue than not updating?

I'm not too concerned about high school study stuff as I had already figured I would use a small 32 GB USB (the short ones so it doesn't stick out) and leave it always attached.

Hi guys,
I don't know if this is a weird question but I'm curious if Jerry and the team have long-term ambitions or goals that they can share with us.  As a relatively new but big fan of Linux Lite I would like more users to try this distro and embrace it. I'd like to see it's ranking rise on distrowatch.

Another weird question along those lines...  I don't know how the development teams of all these distros operate but I was wondering if smaller but similar distros ever merged to compete with larger distros. For example, (not that I want anything about LL to change at all) could there ever come a day when Linux Lite and Xubuntu merge?  DISCLAMER- I know almost nothing about Xubuntu other than it's based on Ubuntu and uses the xfce desktop.

Thanks

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

I need some help here please, I accidentally deleted x86_64-linux-gnu directory from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and now nothing works; no thunar, no browsers...I'm writing from a live session and tried to recover the directory with extundelete by following instructions from here: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ but when trying 

I get the error   So, as instructions explained I simply unmounted the partition and ran but I got I also tried with gparted  >device> attemp to rescue data option but it didn't work. I have performed all of this actions from the live session, haven't written anything on the disk since folder was deleted cause I know there are more chances of recovering the data that way. Can I recover that folder? or will I have to reinstall LL?
Any help/advice is really appreciated. Thanks!

As I am tired of 3.6 crashing at least once a week ...

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start...ssing-etc/

I want to re-install 3.4 which I have on usb from my original download - Question: can I do this without having to select the 3.6 upgrade?

I don't want to go though it all and have to find myself back at 3.6.

Thanks.

I just realized that my install of SeaMonkey 2.49.1 doesn't have Java as a plugin. I know you have to create a symlink for Java to work in SeaMonkey, but I'm at a loss as to how to do it. Can anybody assist?

Excellent news. We no longer have to host their debs.

After Updates you should have:

which will get you instant updates.

I can't seem to find previous posts that might answer my questions. I just had a Toshiba running Windows 10 donated to me for the youth I work with(i5; 4 GB RAM; HDD 581 GB) which I have restored to factory settings, updated Windows 10 and have played around with it minimally before trying LL 3.4. 

At this point I would ideally like to install LL 3.4 (then maybe upgrade it to 3.6 later), however when I tried running if from the bootable USB all seems to be fine other than when I try to pull up Firefox I get this message:

Problem loading page:

Server not found
Firefox canot find the server at the www.google.com

Is that something to do with the Windows 10 (I did make Google the home page on Windows 10...)?

My main objective was to make sure LL 3.4 ran fine before doing an install of LL over Win 10 (I do not wish to dual boot). 

Also I'm not sure if I need to do anything re: UEFI vs Legacy AND if so how I check and make the appropriate switch if needed before I install LL 3.4

In the past I have simply been use to clicking on the install LL 3.4 and all was fine...I'm hoping maybe I can do the same (although wanted to make sure Firefox WILL work), but didn't want to get myself into a bind without knowing if I need to do anything before doing the install LL.

Any suggestions as to what I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Janet

Hi, all,

I've installed chkrootkit on one of my units; but some time after the initial build rather than straightaway as I would have liked to have done (in order to establish a baseline for a fresh build).

I've got one line which I don't understand, and which I've drawn a blank when Googling and am hoping someone might be able to give me some pointers:

Checking `z2'...                                            user ian deleted or never logged from lastlog!

Does anyone know to what "z2" is referring?
I'm unfamiliar with the lastlog command also, being new to the terminal, etc.

I don't think it's necessarily related, but I also get a strange entry under

Checking `chkutmp'...                                        The tty of the following user process(es) were not found
in /var/run/utmp !

Which looks like some form of bug(?) in chkrootkit, when connected to the Internet (and in this case running firefox  which returns 57.0.1 64-bit in firejail):

before more expected entries which generally seem to refer to running chkrootkit as sudo:
