it taken 1 to 2 minutes to boot even though i had really fast computer, Optiplex 9020, i7 4790, new 16 gb ram and new 512 ssd non-nvme, how do i fix it?

Hallo Forum Liteos. Die Installation von LL war nicht so leicht für einen über 70 Jährigen. Erst nach Einstellung der deutschen Sprache ist es etwas besser geworden. Ich habe ein dual Boot mit Windows 8.1 und 2. Festplatte. Dafür habe ich einiges an Zeit gebraucht und mehrere Versuche. Angefangen habe ich mit Ubuntu 22.04. LTS und bin dann bei LL gelandet.  Wenn die Kerze nicht mehr am hellsten brennt steht man nicht auf dem leichtesten Posten. Das Problem beginnt schon mit dem YUMI Installer , usw.

[size=1em]I hate icons and work exclusively using the File Manager in either Compact or Detailed list view however, within the last 24 hours the display on my desktop has changed the colour of the folders and I haven't got a clue how or why this has happened. I have done a direct comparison of the settings on both my Desktop and Laptop which are both set up identically and list below the differences - obviously I would like to Desktop to mimic the Laptops display but am at a loss as to how to achieve this - is anyone able to assist please.

Settings on Both Machines are as follows :-  Appearance = Greybird, Icons=Papirus=Adapta & Windows Manager=Adapta

File Manager Home Screen
Compact List View on both machines = Black icons and/or folders
Detailed List View - Desktop as Compact List View - Laptop= Black icons on Light Blue/Turquoise folders
[/size]
[size=1em]Folders
Compact List View on both machines = Black folders
Detailed List View - Desktop as Compact List View - Laptop= Light Blue/Turquoise folders

I would really like to get the desktop back to how it was displaying up until 24hrs ago - i.e. the same as the laptop and would appreciate any pointers that you can give me to achieve this please.

Many thanks[/size]

Does anyone know a way to encrypt or password protect a file in Linux Lite that will also allow a Windows user to decrypt the same file?  Whenever I create a password protected zip file using the archive manager app and I send it to a Windows user, they can't get to the point where they can even use the password to decrypt it.

I get notification about updates, number increase every day, but I can't dl them.

Also, I have 15 years old computer and some obscure hardware but it shouldn't be a problem, I suppose. Update was working until recently, I was on vacation for 7 days, pulled out power from computer.

Hola, acabo de aterrizar en este s. o. tratando de revivir mi viejo pc, espero no aburrir a nadie con mis preguntas.

Saludos.

Got a funky one for you, may be simple too.

Playing back any videos with the AV1 video format flickers / skips heavily when using just about anything but VLC to play it.

Sound playback is fine in all the media players though.

Using kernel 6.3, tried other kernels with same thing.

System should be PLENTY fast to do av1 playback (not even encoding).

System Specs:

CPU:  Intel 13600K
Mobo:  ASRock Z790 Riptide
RAM:  32GB DDR5 6400
GPU:  AMD 6950
Sound Card:  Asus Strix Raid

Curious if anybody else uses a hardware based security key for linux and other things for mfa stuffs?

I'm not talking about the 2fa programs on the phones but actual hardware keys like Yubikey and such.

I just bought the Yubikey 5c NFC and its fantastic!

Fooling around with it right now.

Hi folks !

Well, before trying it myself, I'd like to know if someone has already tried to install "Waydroid" and if it was worth the bother.

I'm considering installing it on my mini laptop as there're 2 apps I can't really find an equivalent on Linux, but as the machine is very limited, I'm a bit doubtful.

Any contribution welcome. 

I need to print a shipping label but the postal service website is requiring adobe acrobat to view, print or save the label.

How would I install the acrobat software so my browser can print the shipping label?
