Hi everyone
What is the command that's responsible for switching to the next wallpaper (when more then 1 selected in desktop settings) on XFCE?
And how can I add it to the menu on the desktop as an item?
Thanks!

I've been using Linux Lite 3.2 for about 5 months now. Initially the system ran great, very fast, but I've noticed lately some slowing down - thunar, okular, and the menu in particular are much slower. The menu takes about 5 seconds to display, thunar takes about 5-10 seconds, and okular takes about 15 seconds. Some other programs are taking a little longer to open, too, but it's not a huge difference. It's also booting noticeably slower, though the items in the startup apps are basically the same as before.

I've run top in a terminal, and I haven't yet noticed anything taking a significant portion of CPU resources or RAM (usually at 25-30%, and almost nothing in swap). I'm not a computer expert, but I'm thinking it's not a RAM problem.

What do you suggest doing or changing to restore the speed I had in the beginning? What kinds of things or programs do you use to keep your system clean and fast?

I normally use a usb mouse, but at the moment, I'm traveling and using the touchpad. I changed the setting in the Mouse and Touchpad settings to disable scrolling, but it resets itself after every boot. Then I noticed that during the same session, the touchpad would change from "disabled scrolling" to "circular scrolling". It's done it several times already on this login/session. What is causing this setting to change on its own? How do I make all the touchpad settings stay the same after rebooting the system?

Update: I've noticed that if I leave the Mouse and Touchpad settings window open, the scrolling option stays disabled. If I close the window, I later notice that it has reset itself to circular scrolling. (Immediately upon closing the window? Not sure.)

I have always used a signature in my accounts in Thunderbird. Now that I'm using SeaMonkey I also use a signature. There has always been a "signature separator" in emails I composed and sent out. I finally decided to find a way to remove it. The separator looks like this  "-- " without the quotes. I finally found this on mozillaZine.

Removing the signature separator

If you don't want a "-- " signature separator (the divider between the message body and the signature) use the config editor to change mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator from false to true. This requires Thunderbird 5.0 or later. If you are using Windows go to Tools → Options → Advanced → General and press the Config Editor button. Enter suppress_signature_separator in the Filter: field and press return. Find mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator in the results and double click on false in its Value column to toggle it to true, then close the config editor and press the OK button.


For those who use SeaMonkey, you can accomplish the same thing using config editor in the browser, then searching for mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator and changing the value to true.

Recently purchased Dell M4500 i7 system will not recognize 1tb drive, but will on lower capacity drives.  Know it is a bios update.  According to Intel, there have been known issues of system takeover due to hacking, so new bios updates have been produced, this system has one as of June 2, 2017.  It is an exe type file, but this system has UEFI as well as BIOS.  LL 34 running on standard BIOS, will not boot in UEFI.  Anyone done a BIOS update recently?  My experience was years ago using floppy disk. :-[

Have recently had to do a long report (25 pages) using Libre Office writer.  Normally use this software on my HP dc desktop ( 4GB memory paired  Dual core 64bit for day to day documents etc without problems.

Stared to have screen freezing issues .  Ensured as few open documents etc, and even switched off LAN just in case.

Not sure whether it is a hardware issue, or software +- OS issue.  Keep updated - LL3.4.   
Also is there a way to switch off the "install updates"  net scanner? Would this be resource draining. 

Run SOPHOS  active scanning in the background- is that likely to severely overload my system.  Don't appear to have the problem with normal day to day workload.

Thoughts on the problem appreciated.  Thanks.

When I restart or shutdown and turn on my computer every setting done with desktop i.e. wallpaper, icons size are back to default.
The problem is with Desktop Setting. It doesn't save.

I went to use my computer with Linux Lite on it then it gave me this error message I tried recovery mode to see if I could repair any broken packages then after doing that I thought they would have fixed it apparently not I am stumped I don't know what to do.
