One of the reasons I upgraded to LL 5.0 is because I read somewhere online that my All-in-One  Canon Pixma G2010 Scanner and Copier will work immediately and without a hassle. And it is true. I'm thankful for the developer since I don't have to switch to another scanner just for the scanning job (using Canon Pixma MP 237).

I'm just wondering why Canon Pixma G2010 Scanner does not work in LL 4.8 even though I installed the latest scangearmp2 package? The printing job works fine.  Even X-sane cannot detect G2010. The only software driver that was able to detect G2010 was VueScan but the watermark in every scan is atrocious.

I didn't have an issue with my MP 237 for the printing,scanning, and copying jobs but I seldom use it because it is an ink monster.

I am still wondering why the swappiness is still set at 60 for Linux Lite 5x. I was expecting that it has been reduced to at least 10 for old HDD and SSD for this upgrade. When I was stil in LL 4.8 with an old HDD, I already reduced my swappiness from 60 to 10. Now in my new SSD, I have reduced mine to 5 for faster performance. High swappiness is IMHO, only fit for servers, and low swappiness will immunize the computer to memory shortages caused by temporary big files.

I am an out of practice Unix IT. Using Linux Lite 5. Wanted to change my users name, which I did through the terminal and vi. changed it in passwd and shadow, forgot to manually add a root password and to edit the sudoers file. now I can log in as myself, but I can not SU or SUDO. how can I get root access to either add my login to sudoers file or login as root at the "Alt F2" login. In the shadow file root has an "!" in the passwd file/

what can I do? can anybody help me?

Jerry you forgot to put add paint on the accessories menu

Hi,
    I am having Old Sony Vaio laptop, Corei3 first gen, 2 Gigs ram,Nvidia GF119M[Geforce410M] card . running latest Lite 5.0. The brightness control keys do not work with Function +n control keys whereas the Volume control keys function just fine. I have 3 drivers listed in the additional drivers menu, Nvidia metapackage driver 390, Nvidia binary driver 340.108 from nvidia 340, and Nouveou display driver from X server X org. Toggled all three but result is the same. Any solution? Thanks
PS: I just want to reduce brightness,be it through function keys OR any other way.

I've been using SweetHome3D as my alternative to SketchUp for my interior design works. I installed the FurnitureLibraryEditor Plugin for SH3D Furniture so I can modify/add/delete items that I don't need. However, I cannot use the 'modify' part in editing furniture. The plugin cashes (or exits) whenever I click/right-click the modify icon.



Similarly, I installed a related plugin which is called TextureLibraryEditor Plugin for SH3D Texture and I do not encounter crashing or exiting of the plugin. I can pretty much add/delete/modify without a problem.

can i reinstall/refresh install linux lite without losing my personal files?? bcuz i accidentally messed up my system
