Happy belated 11th Birthday, Ubuntu! http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/…/10/ubuntu-birthday-11-years-old I wouldn't be here without you.

I've checked with our host, the main page of the Forums is causing high cpu on our web server. I need to get to the bottom of this issue and sort it out. Some of you may have experienced the '508 Resource Usage is high' message when loading the Forums.

The first suspect is the News block. This has been disabled for now and we'll see if that is one of the factors. Other features on the main page may be disabled in the course of troubleshooting and finding that exact culprit.

I have been using LL for about 6 months on a P-4 dual core PC, two older Dell Inspiron laptops and an Acer Aspire One netbook. I have found that LL installs nicely and runs rings around other OSes on these machines while being relatively easy for me to maintain. After installing 2.6 with it's wonderful new control center, I decided to register and offer my congratulations and sincere thanks to the development team for creating such a great Linux distribution. I have been using Linux for over a decade now and LL shines as the best distribution for my older hardware and it just gets better and better with each release.
'Glad the wildfires are over and that El Nino is delivering some much needed rain here.
Thanks again to Jerry, Misko, Johnathan, Brian, Bill and Adam who have created a great distribution and attracted a growing community and many thanks to all those who patiently answer our questions in these forums. Blessings to you all.

Greetings all,
Just thought I'd say Hi , I'm a new user of Linux-Lite - But have been using Linux for many years.  Thought I'd give it a try after reading the review on Distrowatch.  So far I'm very impressed. 

Hello all,

I'm new to linuxlite, and I ran into a small problem, or I thought....
I had a little argument with my computer, and had to restore grub.
But by mistake, I checked an option ''purge kernel before reinstalling'' with ubuntu boot repair app,
and during the process, my laptop battery died, before the whole process could end.

So now, my system won't boot, I'm stuck on splash screen forever.
Ok, I could install it anew, but I have only one partition. my home folder I can access with a live
system on  CD or USB and I could backup my files.

But ... I spent many hours tweaking it to my linking and I was wondering if I could use
a live cd to boot, before chroot in and restore the thing?

Edit : more info on the problem
grub directory is almost empty, no image, no initrd, no vmlinuz.
So is there a way to chroot to this system, and rebuild everything in order to boot from it that any of you know of ?

Just registered on the forum and here to say hello all.
Have just installed Linux Lite after yesterdays review on Distrowatch and I'm impressed with it up to now. I particularly like the LL control centre and a big kudos to the developers for coming up with it.
I have used Linux on and off for nearly 20 years skipping between different distro's as the fancy took me. I was using Ultimate Edition 4.2 until I installed Linux Lite instead, before Ultimate Edition I was using Makulu. I also have some older PC's that run Puppy Linux and similar small distro's. I am also a big Commodore Amiga user and have several of those machines.
I thank you for your efforts on Linux Lite, I will get back to customizing my install now. 

Literally a couple of tips for issues that people might have with Plex that aren't covered very well by the manual.
(apologies if it's a little rudimentary.)


Plex Can't Find Your Media.


This is an issue that arises from Plex not having the correct permissions to access your files. It seems there are numerous ways to overcome this but as a newcomer I found the simplest solution involved typing the following into the terminal:

Look for the line that says

and replace the value plex with your username. Save the file, exit Nano.


Next we restart the server to take advantage of the changes:


At this point Plex should have the required permissions to be able to access your media and setup your libraries.

---

Unable to Connect to Server From Local Device.


This is a firewall issues that we need to address.


Back to the terminal to open firewall ports then:


Following this we need to open Plex and navigate to Settings>Server>Remote Access and sign in. Immediately below this you have an option to manually specify a port: Enter 32400 and click the Retry button.


At this point as long as you have setup your libraries you should be good to connect to your media from any local device that runs Plex.

i have an acer aspire one d150-1165 dual booted with windows 7 and linux lite 2.6.  i can use wireless on win7 but not when booted in linux lite.  linux lite will run on ethernet 10/100 cat5 just fine, but i have NEVER been able to get a linux distro of any kind to run the wireless card except easypeasy and it is much defunct these days.  i am open to most any linux distro but i like linuxlite.  can i get some help please?

To avoid corrupting a current specific thread on Samsung SSD I thought I would post this here.
There is so much info floating around, it's difficult to get a clear picture, so here are some highlights.


- An issue with Samsung SSD surfaced with regards to errors generated by "TRIM"
  It transpires that there "was" a kernel issue, now fixed >=3.6


- To make matters worse there is "also" a firmware bug with certain types & sizes of 840/850 ~ Pro's & Evo's
  There is "NO Fix" yet from Samsung, or any statement confirming the issue or the affected types
  What is known, is that people who have recently upgraded the firmware have now introduced the bug
  It causes performance and data error issues.



- TRIM is automatically enabled in Ubuntu 14.04, therefore is also enabled in LL
  It is "fstrim" and is a cron job runs from /etc/cron.weekly ((it is present on all my PC's))
  But if you disable/remove it, then the SSD performance will slowly go down.


- There are "Other SSD's" with trim & data issues,
  I believe this is from the most current kernel "Blacklist", these devices are stopped from Trimming, from

I've tried to give Linux a chance several times already during recent 15 years or so... always repelled by elementary problems soon after installation. Seems that things have changed. Tested several distros and decided for LL as the closest to my taste.

Thanks to development team for sharing the results of all the hard work!
