  If your scanner is not detected
Posted by: Paul74 - 11-01-2017, 08:22 AM - Forum: Tutorials - Replies (3)

Hello,


If during installation of a scanner unit (or all-in-one unit), your scanner is not recognized, you may try this solution :


[size=78%]1 - download Vuescan software from :  https://www.hamrick.com/[/size]
2 - install the .deb file you just downloaded
3 - run it, and after 2 minutes it will find your scanner unit
4 - you will be able to use any other other scanner software (simplescan, Xsane, ....)
5 - you don't need anymore to run Vuescan


Hope it may help !
Have a nice day.

  LL boots up sluggish, becomes 'snappy' on logoff/logon
Posted by: Cedarviola - 10-31-2017, 10:19 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (13)

What I see is sluggish UI behavior, for example dragging a window across the desktop, or hovering over a list. When dragging, the window lags way behind the cursor; when hovering it takes a perceptible amount of time for the item to highlight. Also benchmarks -- e.g. Blowfish gives a score around 38. This is after a fresh power-up boot.

It seems like someone, some process is holding interrupts disabled for too long a time.

But the good news is, that if I log off and back on, LL is delightfully quick and responsive with a Blowfish score around 16! This is very consistent, and I just discovered the log on/off sortof by accident.

I've been using htop and cpufreq-info looking for clues but no joy so far. Curiously when sluggish, Task Manager shows about 50% CPU usage (nothing else running) with Task Manager itself consuming most of that. When snappy, Task Manager shows only 4..5% CPU and again, Task Manager is responsible for most of that -- which seems most reasonable.

I submit this, wondering if anyone has similar experience, additional clues or a possible solution.

Thanks for listening.
Jim

  Count me in -- another successful install on an old laptop
Posted by: Cedarviola - 10-31-2017, 12:14 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (8)

For starters, I'm a longtime window guy with enough Linux to be dangerous.

I just put Linux-Lite on an old Toshiba laptop -- W10 was insufferable -- and am now delighted.
Installation went without a hitch -- of course I had to do some research -- and customization and configuration was a delight.

So thanks to the LL team!

But, there always is one -- I have some issues with performance -- it seems to vary from time to time -- and am wondering which section to post in regarding that. I'm just starting to wander about the forums ...

Any suggestions would be greeted favorably ...

  UEFI dual boot possibility grub2win
Posted by: trinidad - 10-30-2017, 07:12 PM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

I generally setup dual boot UEFI Windows and Linux using onboard Windows tools these days, (which I will not give advice on here on this forum) but I noticed the other day that this (grub2win) open source software has been updated recently enough now. I currently do not have a Windows 10 machine available (one I want to shut down) that I want to tinker with. Would any of you be interested in testing this on a Windows 10 UEFI machine and attempting a dual boot with LL? Below is the download link. It could prove to be a simpler solution for UEFI booting. There are no tutorials, but there is exstensive help info inculded with the application.

  Install Updates make font larger
Posted by: Manuk - 10-30-2017, 11:36 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

I need to make the fonts bigger in "install updates."
The list is too small for my liking.

Any way to do that?


Thanks
