Hi,

Inspired by paylepiramida I had a closer look at services and the SystemD Manger on a test install of LL 3.0 64-bit.

It seems to me that not all services are showing up in the SystemD Manager. I was specifically looking for the samba services...

What am I missing here?

Thanks for any input

Good to see these kind of polls that target the wider linux community.

I've been trying to clean install Linux Lite3.0 in my external hard drive(Seagate2TB) but it keeps prompting me with this message:

The partition /dev/sdb1 assigned to / starts at an offset of 3584 bytes from the minimum alignment for this disk, which may lead to very poor performance.

Since you are formatting this partition, you should correct this problem now by realigning the partition, as it will be difficult to change later. To do this, go back to the main partitioning menu, delete the partition, and recreate it in the same position with the same settings. This will cause the partition to start at a point best suited for this disk.

I've created a new partition with Gparted in ext4. Reformatted to ext4 and it still gives me that warning... Any solutions?

Since you're testing with Grub......My biggest complaint is that Grub does not recognize my 
wireless Logitech  keyboard.  If I want to make different selections with Grub I have to plug in an old wired keyboard.    I know this is  LL  site  but just letting you know.  It's irritating.

So this is my blame

          1.278s upower.service
          1.231s keyboard-setup.service
          1.046s console-setup.service


Now I never used systemd (then again,im not too familiar with Linux too) but Im asking if there is anyone who can help me identify services which are safe to disable.
Id like to make this system lean and stable as much as I can but Im afraid to mess around systemd (dont want to lose stability or brake the system).

BOINC participants around the world have long been searching for a BOINC Lite distro package. All this package needs is:

1. Basic GUI Desktop for single monitor with no frills
   
2. Prompt for installing NVidia drivers during installation
   
3. BOINC
   
4. Text editor with optional spell check
   
5. minimal browser
   

Currently BOINC participants are made to suffer. YABU (Yet Another Ubuntu) distros have been vicious when it comes to NVidia support for BOINC (GPU) users. Cryptic path to finding which driver actually works, then an update comes out for the distro and the currently installed driver doesn't work. Nope, the newer version doesn't work either, you have to go back quite a few versions to find one which works. Next update, start entire process over again. It is why many BOINC participants _never_ update a machine until BOINC projects themselves move so far away from the version they have their machine is no longer actively participating.

A BOINC Lite version would be as lite as it gets. Definitely need a 64-bit version as these machines tend to have a lot of RAM. No need for email, GUI word processor, picture viewing/editing or music software. In truth, it should be probably be the release before an official beta because it allows people to test out the hardware support without too much other stuff getting in the way. BOINC can basically set a load from 10-100% on a box so one can test out things like temp control.

I'm using one of my machines, Dell 531 and I installed 3.0 on it then I notice a shaded line across the screen this machine had a ADM graphic card but I changed it to a Radeon grachip card, R5 / 220, is there anyway to correct this and get rid of this shaded on the screen?

Thanks so much

Hi. How long will Linux Lite 3.0 be supported?

My favorite distro is Xubuntu, because I like XFCE and it is one of the Ubuntus, which means long-term support, i.e. predictability. I have tried Linux Lite 3.0 for a few weeks, and I like using it mainly because it is user friendly. I'd like to use it long-term, but will it be supported in the long term?

I'm new to Linux Lite, but have used Ubuntu and mostly Puppy as far as Linux goes.  I installed 3.0 as a dual boot with Win Vista on an eMachines EL-1300G.  I'm using a generic bluetooth dongle that I purchased off Amazon.  The bluetooth adapter works on Win 10 without issue.  I'm using a smartphone to send a jpg over, and Linux Lite gives me an option to accept the file, which I did.  According to my phone, it's being downloaded.  However, I cannot locate the file.  An old thread from 9/15 says that it's in /etc/skel, but I go that folder and I do not see it.  I did a file search in Thunar, but do not see it either.

Can someone tell me where the file may be?

Hello everyone I have a HP mini which I was trying to install Linux lite 3.0 but for some reason I do not have a wireless available this same machine had Ubuntu 16.04 and everything was working great as far as Wireless goes. Any idea how to get this machine connected to my wireless network?

Thanks so much
