Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a graphic tool that allows to rebuild a kernel without certain modules, such as useless drivers and the like?
My skills in compling/recompiling are close to none. This might help me remove useless drivers (Radeon, for one, even NVidia, on the other machines).

Best regards!

Was trying to install ffmpeg so Firefox could play HTNL 5.  Used the command: sudo apt install ffmpeg.  I was asked for my password.  I could not type in the space provided.  Keyboard totally worthless at that point.  My distro:

Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
Kernel 4.15.0-112-generic

What gives with the inability to type anything here?

Thanks

Hi to all,

Just trying out Linux Lite on this old cantankerous HP Pavillion dv6000 which doesn't play well with a lot of distros.

So far Linux Lite is running very smoothly on it and as for the documentation and the guides to everything like driver support and zram installation etc is amazing the documentation is really impressive and easy to understand.  Thank you to all who help develop this system.

I am using 3.8 32bit and it runs real sweet thank you.

Regards

Darren

So here's a new problem on my mum's PC that started yesterday. Upon switching the machine on from a complete shutdown (has been off for over 12 hours) it came up with the usual login screen and the "Password incorrect" message in red. BEFORE we touched the keyboard. We logged in, and as a security measure changed the password. Rebooted a few times, message hasn't returned.

Then switched it off last night again for 12 hours, turned on - same this now, "Password incorrect" even though we've just switched it on.

Any idea of what might be causing this?

Thanks

Hi everyone! hope you're all having a nice life!

I just found that Systemback is active again.  https://github.com/fconidi/systemback-in...pack-1.9.3
The new version is 1.9.4 supporting Debian 10, Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. Just installed with no problems by following instructions from the git page.

I'm using my backup laptop as my HP is down for the moment. It's Toshiba satellite C850D on LL 3.4. I haven't updated it for months if not a year. On start up it runs horribly slow. If I restart I get a message of 'unattended upgrade in progress. do not turn off computer.' If left it take over 30 mins to restart. I can stop it with cont/alt/del & on reboot it has gone. It will sometimes resume later in the day. It's very noticeable that the fan suddenly goes into overdrive & everything grinds to a halt.

Once started, by checking 'resource usage', I can see the following using upto 170% CPU:
pid :1098  user: root  Command: /user/bin/python3 /user/bin/unattended-upgrade

Nothing shows in task manager using anything more than single figure CPU% but CPU at the top is flat out 100% almost all the time.

My question's are : what is this unattended upgrade ? & why is it running without my initiating it ? (One main reason I ditched windows was stuff running in the background, eating resources, that I had no control over.)

Just had this problem.  Haven't updated for some months untill today.

ideas welcomed.  Thanks.

NOTE now upgraded to  LL3.8

Hi everybody,

i am fairly new to the world of Linux. Because i need to run open source lab analysis software, I was planning on installing dual boot Win 10 and LL5.0.
I got everything up to the installer running and followed recommendations in this forum which helped well.
I created a 20 GB partition for LL root and swap. sda1 is windows, sda2 is data and sda3 was generated for LL.

I also followed the help file of LL 5.0.
For dual boot, it says to install on extra partition. I set bootloader to sda as recommended and had sda3 wiped. Before continuing, the software told me to define efi of at least 500 mb. Because LL help file told me not to touch sda1, the win partition, i cut a piece of the sda3 to create sda 4 in efi. Then, i was able to continue installation process and LL was installed. Before the end of the process, installation crashed and a fatal error occured stating that GRUB was not properlz installed.

When restarting, GRUB didn|t do much but a command line that gave an error.

Restarting from BIOS and setting the USB first made me at least restart into LL installation surface. From here i am writing.

Windows partition is dead and not accessible at this point via GRUB or when set to home drive.

Anybody a suggestion on how to fix GRUB?
Re-installation works, but doesnt fix the problem, tried a few different angles, but didnt get far.

Any help greatly appreiated!
