Hello,
I am new both to the forums and a relative newb to Linux. I installed LL 5.0 on an older laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525, Intel Duo Core). I really like LL, but it was booting up very slowly (up to 3 minutes). I deleted LL, replaced it with Puppy Linux, but I'd rather have LL again (as the only distro --and only OS-- on my hard drive).

After searching the forum for a solution, I noticed that the release notes for 4.0 included a solution for this problem, as follows:

(From https://www.868212.xyz/forums/relea...-released/)

What's the name of the bg pattern that displays on the screen on startup, and how is that created, programmatically or tiled image, or other?

If I run LL live on a thumb drive, is there a way to start the installer from that live session, or do I have to log out and reboot to access the installation start option from the thumb drive's boot option menu?

I looked at the 'all application' and 'system' list but found nothing helpful. The Synaptic installer seemed hopeful, and a few others looked potentially promising, but it looks like it's been set up so I'll have to reboot, probably because of the need to unmount drives and partitions.

Hello all.

Just introducing myself. I'm back to Linux, and Linux Lite, after a hiatus. Still a Linux neophyte, though, but eager to learn.

Cheers,

EM

(Posted on reddit, but I received no answer, so I'm posting here. I did do a search here on LL, but... no joy.)

I installed LL on an ITX motherboard system with an LG touchscreen, portrait-oriented monitor, then went to Settings > Display to rotate it. Cool. The mouse works as expected, but I wasn't ready to have the touch screen broken out as its own x,y-oriented device.

So now, when I use the mouse, everything's great. When I tap the screen, however, the touch screen still registers unrotated touches, 90° off where they're expected. Quirky-funny, too, in a nerdy sort of way--"Oh, yeah? Take that, and that, and that-that-that!"

I peeked into the virtual screen settings, and found two locations where there were *rotate* values set to zero, I changed them to 90, but got zero change, so I set them back. I thought about needing to reboot, but figured it wouldn't be necessary.

Any suggestions where to go poking around to marry up the touch screen with its touches so the mouse and touch coincide?

Hi everyone,

I've searched this forum, and in other places, and found nothing that does work on my copy of 3.8 (because 32-bit-only on my 2006 MacBook Pro) about placing the task bar / menu bar at the top of the screen, so I thought I'd ask.

Supposedly, all you have to do is unlock it via the Properties applet, and drag-drop it where you want to put it, but that doesn't work for me.

I even tried to set it on the side, then drag-and-drop it, the way you would in Windows, but that doesn't work either.

I want to install Plank at the bottom of the screen, and sure enough, the menu bar gets in the way, big time. Of course, I could hide it altogether, but then I'd lose the clock and all the other icons in the notification area.

What should I do?
