Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! I'll start from the beginning; I've been having some overheating problems lately and I have to keep an eye on CPU temps behavior the whole time. I used to use sensors command to check on cpu temps, however, I had to open the terminal every time to do that, so I found and installed an applet for the xfce panel, but again, is the same story with the terminal and sensors command. I'd like an utility that shows cpu temps in the panel without the need of opening anything, something like core temp in Windows. Is there such a tool? So far I found nothing that works. I'm on Linux Lite XFCE flavor by the way. I'm not exactly new to Linux but I'm not expert neither. Thanks in advance for your help!  ;D

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life. Glad to be here.  I've been using Linux Lite for quite a few weeks now, again, since I've used it in the past before. I'm on the XFCE flavor which I must say is my favorite desktop environment; really lightweight  and easy to use. I've used XFCE in almost any distro I've tried. I hope we can share experiences, tips, hows to, best practice advices. I'm not expert or whatsoever, but I'll try my best  ;D.

I have also been using exclusively using Mozilla's browser when it was Netscape with Windows 3.1. I use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine.

For several months and maybe longer, Firefox locks up regularly when on Google products (You Tube, Facebook, and Google Maps) due to script problems. I have tried different permissions and disabling NoScrips. Nothing fixed it.

I have watched several videos about this problem and the last www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxsQerHfQZo  by Joe Collins convinced me to try Chrome. He doesn't recommend Chromium. I am no longer having this problem. I will have to use Chrome for Google products reluctantly until Firefox fixes this problem.

(I used GDebi package installer because it is not listed in Synaptic or Lite Software. Maybe it should be.  :-\ )

I see that the devloper


[table][tr][td]said on 2017-09-04: [/td] [td]  #1 [/td] [/tr][/table] I was planned a bigger update with various improvements (including a rewritten source code). But then I realized that I did not have so much spare time. The Systemback was a hobby for me, but now would be just a work. So originally I develop the program only for me, because fun. But the fun factor is over, and I just using some Bash scripts for the system update, backup and restore.
I know that there are several problem in the latest Systemback version. But I do not think that I will continue the maintenance.
Plus the most used function was the Live image creation (and the system installation). But personally, this was not my primary goal.


Does this mean that it is no longer supported and we need an alternative?

Earlier before 3.6 came out, there was talk of systemback disappearing from Linux Lite "for lack of a maintainer."  What exactly is a maintainer and what does he or she do?  Could non-technical boy like me do that?  I can't write code or anything like that, but "maintaining" just sounds like "keeping it around and updated." 

Sorry for the rookie question, just wondering if there's a new way I can contribute.

I wonder if there are others here in the Forums who are just emerging from the chaos and bewilderment of Hurricane Irma. 

Definitely terrifying to say the least.  A lot of people lost everything, some of us only a little.  But one amazing good thing to come out of disasters like Irma and Harvey is a good look in the mirror.  They bring out the best - and the worst - in people, showing us who we really are.

I shared a meal today with one of the linemen who came down here to Florida from Tennessee to help us get our power back.  He had worked 40 hours in just two days - and a lot of awesome wonderful people have been doing that since it was safe to come down here. 

We camped indoors, cooked outside over a wood fire, sang songs, told stories, did laundry in collected rainwater, and did a whole bunch of cleaning up for 5 days after the storm passed us before our electricity and Internet were restored.  No school (yay!), but also no work, so money is super tight now.  But we learned to share, to give even though we were needy ourselves, and to be very grateful for life, for family, and soooooo many things that we usually take for granted!

Nearby rivers are still rising over roads as storm water drains from residential areas, and weakened trees are still leaning and threatening to topple.  Chainsaws are running like crazy all over the state of Florida.  ;D  But Irma has brought people together like nothing else could have. 

Gratitude and love to first responders, military troops, and countless others who have come from very far away to work like crazy for a bunch of strangers in need.

Chromium has broken packages which I am unable to remove and am informed that I need to reinstall it. I don't remember how I installed it in the first place. It is not is 'Lite Software'  I have 32bit Dell M1210 LL3.6

I  am able to see my batter with a panel icon but the system info does not see it. It is a replacement battery for Dell xps m1210. I ahve LL 3.6.  The battery  consequently is not operative. Any ideas to fix this?

Thanks
Ann

Doea anyone know why my BIOS would not see my battery?
