Hi all
I think it's time to kill this old dog I been using HP D530 Small Desktop, Intel Pentium® 4 4gb Ram it does struggle doing most thing about 15 years old.
I did make a post here about it being dog slow was doen to Hard drive about to fail I got a new onw but still sound like it's going to take off the noises it makes.
I got a better computer ish maybe ten years old Acer had a OME of win7 I very filmier with windows so was using it to cut video to edit photos I just don't like Gimp.
Talking out load this will work right.
So my plan is load Lite and then use virtualbox and have Win7 should I need to do that kind of stuff.
May main consern is how to make Linux/Lite secure I don't get the fire wall most can just turn on and it does it job, with a Linux I see you have to make rule.
Right time to get wiping 
Thanks to your generosity, we've been able to purchase an HP Z800 Workstation.

I installed the full version about 2 weeks ago and everything has been good. Now when I boot all I get is a black screen with the mouse cursor present and working. After reading an earlier post on the same topic I did the following. It is dual boot system with the windows side working fine.

I cannot register for this forum under the account I wanted to. I set up everything and was waiting on the verification email. I've clicked to have that email resent to me six to a dozen times and I still haven't received it. It isn't in a junk or spam folder or even a trash folder. I've checked.
The account I wanted to use was with my hotmail email. I'm able to write this because I connected with a social networking account. I can't log into that social networking account from work. Therefore, I wouldn't be able to access this forum during the day. I can get to this forum if I were allowed to type in the username and password that I created with my hotmail account. I just need the darned verification email to arrive.
Thankyou.
To all the people who work behind the scene to provide us with a great operating system.

I finally decided that the solution to my growing list of problems was to upgrade, and have done a new and clean install of LL 2.4 on my laptop.
My first problem is that Dropbox is not working, for reasons I haven't experienced before. Nothing seems to be happening and I keep getting an 'authentication is needed to run /usr/bin/dropbox' as the super user message, a step I have never seen before and also appeared the first time I ran Skype on the new install. I hope this is something that won't have to be done every run-time, but for Dropbox, nothing satisfies it - my authentication just causes the error message to reappear some seconds later.
Is something misconfigured or wrong with the new install?
I have installed MP3gain using Synaptic from the repository -
It appears to be loaded but I cannot find it in the menu -
If I type MP3gain in the Menu search I get an option to" Run MP3gain" but nothing happens .
Am I missing something

So I think this is the fifth time i reinstalled LL 2.4 trying to solve my issue.
I have an Intel HDA ALC268 sound card on a Toshiba Satellite p200. On any Ubuntu/Debian based distro (LL included) I installed, the headphones won't work, while the speakers work just fine. I searched forums, documentation, installed the realtek linux driver, tried all that alsamixer - pulseaudio advice, on this last LL 2.4 fresh install I even installed the 3.15 kernel from here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...te-kernel/ .
Nothing, headphones don't work. I'm out of options. I was planning on making LL 2.4 my base OS, instead of Windows, but because of this issue I've delayed that.
I tried both Caffeine and Caffeine-Plus.
Neither of them works in LL.
Is there an equivalent program that functions as intended?
Thanks!

I do have "center" selected in window manager tweaks under placement.
Do I need to do anything else?
Thanks
