Hi,

Is there a self step-by-step procedure I can go through to eliminate hardware/application/driver/operating system issues?  Especially so that I can best google a solution to a problem.  That's kind of the general question, but I'm kind of looking for a general flow of operations, in addition to finding an answer to my specific issue.

Here is my specific question:

When I first installed LL 3.0, the mouse worked extremely well and was fully responsive.  I went through the full session with no slowdown, except when I had too many browser windows open, which is my weakness because I'm always "opening in new tabs".

But each time I've logged in, the mouse has gotten a little more slower and now it frequently gets frozen.  Also I've noticed that the problem occurs earlier and earlier in my session, to the point it is frozen almost immediately after turning the computer on and even when the computer is supposedly idle.  However, the graphics still appear to update at the correct rate, the keyboard can still type, and I can open a terminal using the keyboard shortcut.

How can I eliminate each possible reason, starting with the least dramatic (what a regular user can do) to most dramatic (sudu & use with extreme caution, but still reasonable), for this situation.

I am trying to get iheart to play on my firefox browser, I have linux lite 64, with latest updates. I have done several searches and cannot find anything, the iheart page says I need to update my flash player, I tried and downloaded updates but don't know how to install them.

Still learning about linux so any help is appreciated.

The LibreOffice version that comes with LL 3.0 64bit is very buggy.
Writer crashes often when copy and pasting text or images. It happens on my wifes laptop Dell Latitude E5400 and mine E4300.
What can be the couse of this?

I've made the switch to Abiword/Gnumeric and Dia. No alternative found for Impress yet.

Hello,

My DVD reader do not play.
Vlc cannot read the DVD, whichever the reader.

How mount my DVDs reader:

Hi I have a Dell Lattitude D620 and just installed Linux Lite 3.0 When I put in my WiFi password it seems to connect out to the modem but says credentials are wrong. They aren’t wrong, so I am stumped. Seriously, I looked and looked and typed really slowly - the password is going in right. Any idea?

Two months ago, I remember responding to a frustrated Linux Lite 3.0 user who wrote, "no wonder LL has fallen down so much on distrowatch."  I looked today and noticed the following.  If you look at Distrowatch's Page Hit Ranking for the Last 6 months, and you removed the distros that have been around longer than 4 years, this is what you would get:

1) Ubuntu MATE
2) LXLE
3) Linux Lite

So on its 4th anniversary, Linux Lite is 3rd of the distros that have been around 4 years or less.

Cheers!

In order to get this printer working you need to go to

http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadt...340cdw_all

And follow the directions.

The first time I installed Linux Lite 3.0 those instructions didn't work at all.  However they did kinda work with Linux Lite 2.8.  I couldn't use the on board scanner though.  Couldn't scan directly to the computer.  Ended up taking Linux Lite 3.0 off the computer and putting something else on in place of it.  Yesterday I was doing some testing with a different hard drive and I went through the steps of installing Linux Lite 3.0 and updating it.  This time around I was able to get the brother instructions to work.  I haven't tested the scanner.

I was wondering if the driver to this printer could be added to Linux Lite so that we don't need to keep downloading it?

Kindly guide how to open .pptx files in impress. I am using Linux Lite 3. Other MS Office files like .docx, .doc, .xls, .xlsx are opening perfectly but when i am opening .pptx its opening in file explorer and showing three folders and a xml file.

Thanks in advance.

From time to time my pc gets invaded by Tavanero which annoys me as I cannot browse properly, or securely.
I've tried a few times to be rid of it by syncing Google but my latest attempts have failed so maybe I have forgotten how to do it this time round.
Has anyone a suggestion of how I can go about removal please?
Thank you

[size=1em]This thread follows on from https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...multiboot/, whose original objective was solved, though the issue of setting up the account on Lubuntu for my son (which followed on from this) remains unresolved.  I'm therefore setting up this thread to address the user account setup in lubuntu.  My sincere apologies for the delay in replying to your instructions -  I have copied and pasted my reply to you below - just want to reiterate that I greatly value your help.[/size]

You said (gold_finger):
I forgot you had Zorin on there as well, but see that you went ahead and changed that too.  Good job.As I understand it, when you run id command in both Zorin and LL it shows UID and GID = 1001.  Correct?

[size=1em]Me: Yes, that's correct...[/size]


You: If so, run these two commands in Lubuntu terminal and let's see who shows up as GID=1001.

List users (and their respective UID, GID) with a UID equal to or greater than 1000 as listed in /etc/passwd file:
