First of all,
Overclock is not only change some values to get a more speed computer,
Overclock will also OVERHEAT the parts you're trying to speed up
So you have to install better coolers and a whole new and better case for your computer
But this steps would be impossible in a Laptop or other similar small devices. If that's your case plese don't do it.

These steps may finally fry your pc, so you have to be extremely careful before try it

Surfing on the I've found one reliable page, Ubuntu wiki overclocking steps.

In my case I only recommend the steps of Intel, I don't understand the steps for AMD and try it only through the BIOS. But perhaps the steps of the BIOS are later the steps of the Intel, but I'm not sure.

First, open the terminal (terminal emulator) and type:
uname -r
------ I've installed the latest Linux Lite 6.6 and it's :5.15.0-102-generic
--(a normal result for a clean normal update Linux Lite 6.6) 
Next type
sudo apt-get install linux-tools-5.15.0-102 linux-cloud-tools-5.15.0-102
Install the MSR module
modprobe msr
Now we're going to test how speed is our computer, type in the terminal
openssl speed
And IN ANOTHER window of the terminal type this:
turbostat
That last terminal will show how much speed could run your computer. But BE CAREFUL you must find out in the INTEL WEBSITE what are the maximum values for your computer before it get fried..

In that page of Ubuntu ,they explain well WE CANNOT USE THE VALUES THET WE FIND when we put turbostat in the terminal, but those could guide us to get the right values for our pc's

Updates / Re: Install Updates could not fetch the package cache information lists.

« Last post by Şerban S. on April 11, 2024, 05:56:24 AM »

Hi!

I know nothing about Spanish.
It's very difficult for me go guess what happened there.
Here is what I would do:

Open the Terminal.
Than type:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update
If any error or warning message shows up, then copy the message and paste it here, in the thread.
There are people who speak Spanish so someone will sure figure out what happens.
If things are OK, then go to Menu and launch Lite Tweaks: Menu>Search "Lite Tweaks">Lite Tweaks
Select from the Lite Tweaks window the Package System Repair option then Begin
When it's finished, go again to the terminal and Type

Code: [Select]

sudo apt update
After the update finishes, type

Code: [Select]

sudo apt upgrade
If any error is still present, it is likely that you have a repository setup that has a very long response time.
You should consider testing the response speed and change the servers accordingly to your geographic location.
That is done in another window (Software & Updates).
If you get to that, we'll discuss it at that moment.
For now, see if the above solution works, to narrow down the possibilities.

Best regards, Șerban.

Update: I updated my Linux Lite once more and my laptop eventually recognized the SD card without problems ! Probably it was a driver bug. I am using the SD card since about two days. Hope that it will not show any troubles . . . Anyways, thanks for the answers !

Something is unusual with your repository and apt preferences.
We can start by looking at your repositories.

Please open a terminal by pressing 'Ctrl' 'Alt' and 'T' together.
In the window that appears please type in this command followed by enter to show the repositories that are set on your system.

Code: [Select]

inxi -r
Please copy and paste the results back to the thread.

Have you made any changes that may have triggered this ?
For example wanting more recent versions of packages than the standard ?

Yes, the system announced to me that there was an update available, I accepted it and it began to be done, but it was interrupted and gave me the message "install Updates could not fetch the package cache information lists"

« Last post by Edimion on April 10, 2024, 08:52:16 AM »

I think not so many people try this thing, because even if you do it successful it surely shorten the lifespan of your computer

But, that's the question

how can anybody overclock a cpu running Linux Lite 6.6?

If someone know it. Please share that information

« Last post by Edimion on April 10, 2024, 08:42:33 AM »

You specifically ask about speeding up the CPU but without risk to the CPU or other parts.  The manufacturer of a motherboard is looking for long life and reliable operation at the highest possible speed.  It may well be possible to overclock a system to increase speed but the system will run hotter.  Extra heat is likely to reduce component life time, decrease reliability and will need extra cooling just to operate.

The thread below is mainly about slow booting.  It covers things like disabling startup services and fixing the system IP address to reduce startup time.
But a system that is slow to boot will generally be slow to run and the post explains that old hardware is the main limiting factor on performance so is worth reading.

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start-up-and-shutdown/slow-boot-times-in-linux-lite/

The most commonly recommended performance improvements - upgrading CPU, adding extra RAM, changing a mechanical disk to a solid state disk - require hardware changes.

I think from your other posts that you have a system manufactured in 2009. If you aready have 16GB RAM and an SSD you may already have done the easy improvements.

Thread moved to hardware.

That's for your answer, but i was trying to help someone how doesn't know less than me (gaas)

But that link of a close topic.. is about how to fix slow booting ,not overclocking your cpu.
Althought it's true if someone try to overclock they I guess should try to put more coolers. If that overclocking is not so extreme

Sorry mod, but I'll put a better and more specific new topic in the section of software. About how to overclock a cpu ,trying to be that topic about Linux Lite. It surely won't be the best information about it but tomorrow I'll post what I'll find out.

I will report the progress of my Quest here.

Hi!

Over the years, I tested all browsers listed here, in this thread.
Brave and Vivaldi, seem to be very good alternatives.

Hello, people !

Since I bought a SD card to free my storage space at my SSD, I had operational troubles. At first, my LL didn't recognize the SD card. I did a research, and eventually solve the problem. But afterwards my laptop started to freeze at the time I put the SD card in the slot ! My LL is updated. This SD card runs smoothly at other devices, like my smartphone and my tablet.

  Distro: Linux Lite 6.6 LTS
Machine:
  Type: Laptop System: Positivo Informatica SA product: A14CR6A

Your system, is 11 (eleven!) years old.
What you are expecting from it, is that the great-great-great-great-grandfather already knows how the great-great-great-great-grandson looks like.
Or, in other words, you expect Linux Lite 2.x to look and run like Linux Lite 7.0.

In other words, your phone is the same age with your SD card.
Try using your SD card on an eleven years old phone. See what happens. Assuming that you can...

Solution?

Buy an "All-In-One" USB card reader. I presume the grandfather has at least one USB port...
My grandfather ASUS X200MA, has three and has almost the same age: nine years.
And, yes, it only recognizes old SD formats, like some of the 8 GB ones. Not all, though.

For your own peace of mind:
I have a Korg PA500 keyboard workstation, bought in 2012. It only accepts 2 GB (2048 MB) SD cards.
I tried a 4 GB one and got an error message stating that "OS media missing or damaged".
So...

Good luck!
