I'm thinking of introducing a new feature to Lite Tweaks called Super Lite Mode.
What this effectively does is kill all but the necessary process on Linux Lite, including:
- All open windows and applications
- All unnecessary processes
- Copy & paste functions
What stays running:
- The desktop
- Sound services
- Graphics services
- Firewall (if enabled)
- Menu, Taskbar etc
This will be useful especially for older computers and gamers who want as few processes interfering with game performance as possible.
Before starting, please note how much ram is currently being used via Menu, System, Resource Usage, and please report back with the information next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G
If you'd like to test this, please do the following:
Open a terminal, do:
sudo apt-get install wmctrltouch superlitemodeleafpad superlitemodeCopy the following into the file and save it:
#!/bin/bash
# Linux Lite - Super Lite Mode Script
# Developer - Jerry Bezencon
# Website - http://www.linuxliteos.com
ps aux | grep -ie VBox | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie Thunar | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie blueman | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie applet.py | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie tumblerd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie light-locker | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie xfce4-power-manager | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
ps aux | grep -ie obexd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
# Close all open windows gracefully without closing the Desktop environment

WIN_IDs=$(wmctrl -l | grep -vwE "Desktop$|xfce4-panel$" | cut -f1 -d' ')
for i in $WIN_IDs; do wmctrl -ic "$i"; done
# Keep checking and waiting until all windows are closed (you probably don't need this section)
while test $WIN_IDs; do
sleep 0.1;
WIN_IDs=$(wmctrl -l | grep -vwE "Desktop$|xfce4-panel$" | cut -f1 -d' ')
donechmod +x superlitemodeTo run it in LL 3.4, just double click on the superlitemode file.
Then please ONLY open Menu, System, Resource Usage, and please report back with the information next to 'Mem' eg. 259/1.95G
WARNING: This will close all open windows including your web browser.
So, a typical reply to this thread would include:
Before superlitemode: 345/1.95G
After superlitemode: 259/1.95G (+ windows that remained open, if any)
Looking forward to all your feedback.
Many thanks
Hi all
I own a Roccat ryos mk pro and all the fn keys and the m keys on the side, doesn't work..
I searched all over the internet but I can't find a way to enable them.. that also I'm not (yet) so familiar with Linux environments
So I seek guidance please how do I make my keyboard work 100%?

Hello,
I think LL team may use fund-raising model similar to that of Linux Mint(LM). LM basically has sponsorship schemes, viz. platinum, gold, silver, and casual(I guess). Each of these have a certain amount to be donated to LM and certain other conditions that LM satisfies, example, for platinum sponsorship- LM shows name of sponsor on some predetermined areas on website or OS. The sponsors pay a monthly donation, which keeps the project alive.
Thanks.
sorry to say but i am leaving guys .
Hi, I'm expecting my external hard drive to arrive soon. I'm asking if anyone has advice on what formatting I should do? This is my situation:
1. I plan to use external hard drive to store my user data (by which I mean everything under my home directory). It's mainly documents etc.
2. If I had to use the backup, it would be in the event of my data being destroyed, e.g. hard drive failure, etc etc. It's mostly for catastrophic recovery.
3. I do not care about my system files or the OS as much. If I had to, I would simply re-install LinuxLite from live CD, so if there was an issue with the OS itself I don't care as much as I would for my documents.
4. I have 2 LinuxLite machines available to me for recovery (desktop and laptop). However, I would like the drive to ideally be also readable by Windows 10 (in addition to LinuxLite). If that's not possible, then just readable by LinuxLite would be OK.
How do you recommend I format this drive? Would FAT32 work out OK for this, or is it best to use one of the Linux-specific formats? As you can probably tell by my question I know nothing about this topic, which is why I'm asking. I just want to make sure my backup strategy is a good fit for my needs if I need to recover data from it. Thanks for any help you can give.
I am sure it is due to my lack of knowledge but why when doing a download for a fresh install of LL 3.4 64 bit does the torrent hash not match via check sum but the md 5 does? At least one of the two match.
Hi all.
I'm just another ordinary, happy LinuxLite user 
Greetings to all and big thanks to Jerry&Co for the best Ubuntu-based, Xfce distro.

Does anyone know what steps are being taken so that get-iplayer will still be usable after the sign in to BBC requirement comes into effect.?
Just installed WINE and mono and other suggested addons at time of WINE install...trying to install my main work program - Total by Alamode - real estate appraisal software.
The Installshield installer needs to connect to Alamode servers to verify my product registration, but says I do not have a valid internet connection - but I do - wired and wireless both active.
I do not see any internet settings in WINE config...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
