  Hi
Posted by: grgc - 12-05-2021, 08:14 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (3)

Hi,
I am a new linuxlite user.  I needed a lightweight distro with a simple gui as a learning platform.  I am currently working through The Odin Project.  After getting comfortable with the cli, I would like to install a server and build my gui from the cli.  I'm don't remember seeing a "lite" or "core" edition of LinuxLite. Did I miss it?

  Default Keyring
Posted by: grgc - 12-05-2021, 07:15 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Hi, an application I installed, I think Google Chrome, is asking to create a "keyring" called "Default Keyring". What is a keyring? Do I need it?  Can I stop this window from popping up if I don't  need to install a keyring?

Thank you.

  Lenovo Yoga i7 touchpad, touchscreen and function keys (F1 - F10) not working
Posted by: gorne - 12-05-2021, 05:29 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Hello,
I have installed Linux Lite 5.6 in a laptop Lenovo Yoga i7.
I am experiencing several issues:
    1- touchpad does not work
    2- all function keys do not work. For example, I can not close a window with Alt+F4, I can not rise/down the sound volume with Fn+F2/F3, etc
    3- touchscreen does not work (this is the less I am concerned about)

The laptop is new and all the hardware work, I know because all hardware work properly in Windows.
Using an external keyboard and mouse works properly.

Any help??
Thanks in advance

I am not sure how it helps, but I found that I should check this information out:

  Back-up hard drive files are locked?
Posted by: Rapidrob - 11-30-2021, 04:43 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I downloaded the latest OS version of LL on four computers. All went well.
Now on one of my computers where I have backed up all my files on a 2ND hard drive that has to be mounted for use, every file is locked.
I have "Read/Write" permission on every file on this HDfile but cannot change to un-lock any of them. All files in " File Manager".
I am NOT Linux proficient and there are hundreds of files. Every file on this HD is locked.
Please help this old man.

  Very slow data transfer to USB memory stick
Posted by: Ean - 11-27-2021, 11:31 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

This is a query regarding very slow data transfer from hard drive to a USB memory stick for the last few percent of the transfer of large files. The filetypes I've tried are .ISO and .MP4 of about 80Mb or so upwards. It's possible the same happens to small files, but I don't see it. What happens is that the transfer starts and continues at a "normal" speed, then slows to a crawl towards the end. This has caused apps, such as VLC, to crash.

The PC is a 2.7GHz dual core AMD 2 x2 22, 4Gb RAM, single boot, running LL 5.6. It takes about 2min 35 secs to boot up, and according to BTOP uses around 0.7Gb RAM and a few % CPU when idling. When I look at Task Manager, these figures are broadly agreed with. The real-time (I think) CPU usage display spikes a great deal to 100% from the time I run Task Manager during the time of slow file transfer. This seems to tie up with apps crashing. I've tried different memory sticks with the same result.

I'm new to Linux and have only been using LL for about 12 days and have no programming experience whatsoever. Although I'm posting this, LL is working very well for me. Please provide a simplistic response if possible.

Ean.
