Trying Version 8 on a Lenovo Yoga 11e laptop for schools.
Laptop was originally Windows but SUPER (FREAK) SLOW!!!!

Much better now. Customizing a lot to see how I can eek out some performance.

Sorry, new non-technical user, first post.

Installation was fine. I have 2 SSDs and 2 internal ata drives. 1 SSD has LL and the second has Zorin. 

When using Grsynch, I noticed on LL it was slower than on Z. I asked AI. It told me to do things and I ran out of time allowed. 

Final status, when I boot, I include a startup instuction "sh -c "sleep 5 && udisksctl mount -b /dev/disk/by-uuid/b69fe174-b930-47dd-add6-5f154bb35a7e && udisksctl mount -b /dev/disk/by-uuid/8f5a9fdd-9386-4752-ad0b-3e75e50a5400" otherwise Thunar will not mount the drives until I click on them. And the AI did mention something about changing the timing.

How do I get back to mounting properly without the startup instruction? 

Thank you for any comments. Remember please I am a new non-technical user.

Is it just me doing something stupid or is anyone else having problems with code tagging apparently replacing LF with space ?

The code tagging appears correct when editing, but on preview and after posting, the code text is all on one line.  This worked as expected until fairly recently.

Three examples of posting the same text

untagged
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5

using Code tags

Using quote tags

Quote:line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
line 5

Edit - Looking through some old posts it looks like it is affecting them as well.  Anything with multiple lines of tagged code appears to have lost the LF.

Lite 8.0 comes with the timezone set to Pacific/Auckland.  I have tried using the Lite Time Date tool to change this to America/New_York but the change is never applied.  I needed to use the terminal to run the "timedatectl set-timezone" command in order to make this system change.  This problem has been seen on all three systems that I tested Lite 8.0 on (laptop, mini-PC, and desktop PC)

Minor issue related to version identification

The 8.0 installation includes an error in /etc/lsb-release which incorrectly references 24.04

Quote:DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=resolute
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 8.0"

This file is certainly used by System Restore Utility (Timeshift) causing snapshots to be marked as

Quote:Ubuntu 24.04 (resolute)

and may be used by other applications

logging into the VM via ssh itself and subitting any command causes now an (additional) output like this:

While in LL7 all files had ownership root:root, after upgrade to LL8 all files are owned by the user that initiated the upgrade.
I came across this while trying to restore the PPA's used in LL7. Not going smoothly at all (problems with signatures). Will report after some more investigations.

release notes: "- XFCE wallpaper restoration after upgrade"

If that refers to the user's Xfce wallpaper being restored, it hasn't worked. The default LL7 one got replaced with the default LL8 one. (not a biggy on my end though)

changes that also got mentioned by Steve (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/showt...=63386#pid):
Appearance - Style
Appearance - Icons
Window Manager - Theme
The icon of the menu also changed.
