Is there any way to move a bunch of emails from one SSD to another SSD? I have about 100 emails on my old SSD where I had LL. I've installed LL on a new SSD but still need those emails. I used to use Mozbackup when I had Windows computers but it gives me an error message when I try it with Wine on this computer. I'm using Thunderbird, if it matters.
I have an HP laptop (A10, 6GB RAM, AMD video, BEATS audio) that is my Linux only machine. It has a 750 GB drive and I have a pair of 120 GB partitions where I install distros and the remainder is a shared data partition. LL 2.6 sits on sda1 and it controls GRUB.
So I haven't used any other distros in a while so I installed the latest Ubuntu Mate on sda2. I like Mate (it seems the runaway CPU core issue is gone now) so I set it up the same as LL 2.6 to compare look and feel. Both LL 2.6 and Mate are configured as close to the same as I could given the different DEs. (kernels, xorg, startup stuff)
So, like I always do I run the benchmarks in the system profiler (hardinfo) and the "blowfish" test is the one I use for quick comparisons. In LL 2.6 it scores a 4.08, in Mate I got 4.85. Big difference and it must be due to the overhead in Mate as the hardware didn't change. This test don't really mean anything, I was just surprised at the significant difference...
It doesn't include the Ubuntu Software Center by default.

Hello,
I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1, and this card is known to output better sound quality through its headphone (black) jack. The OS outputs Stereo (2.0) sound by default over the speaker (green) jack. I can't modify this behavior, the only way for the system to output Stereo sound is if I choose 5.1 or 4.0 audio output, but then it also outputs part of the sound through other jacks I don't use, hence some applications sound distorted.
Is there any way to force Stereo sound over the headphone jack only? This works under Windows using the kX audio drivers.
I've tested changing it with HDA Analyzer but since the card is not an HD Audio card, it won't show up on its list.
Thanks in advance.
As you can probably tell, I'm new to Linux. I love it but I'm really confused about installing 3rd party programs. I have been around PCs since DOS 1.0. I had Vic 20s & C-64s before that.
Okay, sorry I digress. I hate WIN 8 but WIN 7 was okay & I have dual boot on this laptop but now WIN 7 is having problems but that's another topic. We have 4 laptops & I have Linux Lite on 3. But I'm not grasping how to get something as easy as iTunes on the laptop to work. Also last night I tried to install Java but not even sure where to go to & enable it.
I did use forum & this info:
Hello!
Yes, the procedure listed in the manual was the one I followed. That procedure didn't work, so I did what I do WHENEVER *ANYTHING* stumps me: I started Googling. I found THIS URL:
http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=231503
The procedure spelled out at that URL did the trick. Oracle's Java check (JRE 7 Update 51, the latest one) now passes...

But when it said to
Create a symbolic link to the libnpjp2.so file in the browser plugins directory
Go to the plugins sub-directory under the Firefox installation directory
cd <Firefox installation directory>/plugins
Create plugins directory if it does not exist.
Create the symbolic link
ln -s <Java installation directory>/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
I was lost.
So I guess what I need is a little more hand holding as I go through the installations.
I still can't print from my laptop but that's for another day also.
So I have downloaded both iTunes & Java but can use either.
Can someone tell, is there an easy fix.
TNX, Jim
The UEFI dual-boot on my laptop is working well.
However, I notice in the Device Boot List that LL is listed twice, even though only one LL operating system is installed (version 2.4), alongside win8.1.
Why is this & does it matter?
Should I delete one of them?
Thanks for any help with this

I have an HP printer. I've used it once or twice successfully and just printed a .pdf page. I can't remember how to print anything else. I've tried opening the file(s) in a Print Preview page but it comes up blank. The files I currently want to print are .png formats.
I feel stupid but I just can't remember what I did last time.
I've been trying to install linux lite in an old machine for the last week. The machine won't boot from usb and only has an old cd rom drive. So i hunted down some blank cd roms at walgreens and now find the 700 mb isn't going to be enough. is there a way to get this "easy" to use system on this old computer?
It seems the newest Steam package is already provided through your Linux Lite repository.
Btw, I thought it would be a good "feature" to include GOG Galaxy in your repository as well when it is released.
A bit self inflicted perhaps, but I tried to install another desktop (enlightenment/E17), then removed it and now I've lost the wifi icon where I access my VPN. I assume these 2 things are related. I can't find any way to get it back.
