Hi Team ,
THis is my first post as i join this community today . Installed linux lite yesterday on my Old pc with below specs:
CPU : Intel core 2 duo E7200
RAM : 4 GB
Graphics : NVIDIA geforce 210
I have installed steam yesterday and downloaded cs1.6 in my library . When i launch cs 1.6 , it launches with drag black screen (like a joined blank screen on the right along with cs1.6 page) which is moveable and i am not able to click on the options itself .I only have one monitor . How can i resolve this ?.
I am using cs 1.6 launch options as i was doing fps troubleshooting : -nofbo -w 800 -h 600 -nohltv -fullscreen -no sync
PLease note i have fixed NVIDIA resolution to 1920 *1080 . it is because while i was troubleshooting this issue earlier , launching cs 1.6 in 800*600 was also changing my NVIDIA display configuration and given i have 27inch montitor , it becomes unreadable in 800*600..
Please help me resolve this .Please see attachments.

How do I know if my Windows PC has UEFI?
In Windows Search, type msinfo or msinfo32 and launch the desktop app named System Information. Look for the BIOS Mode item, and if the value for it is UEFI, then you have the UEFI firmware. If it says BIOS Mode Legacy, then that’s the firmware you’re running.
Secure Boot is supported, but unless you know exactly how to handle it, it is a P.I.T.A. at best so I am going to say...you must disable Secure Boot to enable stress free computing.
Some helpful snippets from the latest Help Manual:

Login is automatic, no credentials are required. The image can be written to a 4gb or larger USB stick, or a writable DVD. Alternatively, you can use the dd command: sudo dd if=linux-lite-7.0-rc1-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M where 'x' is the letter of your usb stick. In linux to find out the letter of your usb stick, open a terminal and type: df -h It is usually listed as 'media' or similar. Please see the built in Help Manual if you require a more detailed explanation of this procedure.
A good, simple point and click USB ISO burner is https://www.balena.io/etcher/ or https://rufus.ie/
In our testing, Etcher and Rufus (for Windows only) have proven to be the most reliable. Etcher is available for Mac, Windows & Linux.
If the screen locks during Live mode, type linux into the user box and click on the Login button (no password required)
Minimum Recommended Specs:
1Ghz processor
768mb ram
8gb HDD/SD
VGA screen capable of 1024x768 resolution
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image

1024mb ram+
20gb HDD/SSD+
VGA, DVI or HDMI screen capable of 1366x768 resolution+
DVD drive or USB port for the ISO image
Login to the live desktop is automatic.
The first thing you MUST do after a fresh install of Linux Lite is run Menu, Favorites, Install Updates.
As this is a RC release, there are bound to be bugs etc. Please help make the final stable for other people by participating in this RC. Please report any bugs and feedback in this thread.
Thank you

Any solution?

PS Later, after trying the update gain, it said update was complete. But I do not know if that is true...

Introduction:
I am an elderly (Grandpa) PC user, sometimes struggling with Alzheimer (" :-\")
Also new to this forum, hence missing the experience with it's features. (e.g. how to post a "screen-shot")
to make long story short:
I have an old Siemens-Amilo LT which is sporting 4GB Mem and ~500 GB HD (not sure is HD or SSD ??)
The Win XP on this machine was broken to the point of no use,#
hence I tried to give Linux (LL 3.8, 32 bit) a go ...
I actually did this 2x
and now I have a system with a scattered HD and (?) 2x LL installations
I got to the point of understanding that I would need G-Parted to modify (create, delete, resize) partitions.
However: I miserably fail to "clean up" my installation mess.
{e.g. the device won't even boot from my Win-XP instal CD)
... or how to post a screenshot in this thread ??
Any help appreciated !!
Anybody out there, who might be willing
best regards
Gunter

@ joshy
Guten Tag nochmal. Also es ist schon a zeit her.
Der OPA, müht sich immer noch mit dem verbogenen ALT-Laptop.
Anscheinend habe ich Windows XP komplett verloren und kann es auch nicht neu installieren. Von der CD wird nicht gebootet - warum auch immer.
Das Linux Lite 3.8 (32 bit) bootet und gparted zeigt:
/dev/sda1 ;ext4
/dev/sda2 ;extended
... und dort weiter
/dev/sda7 ;ext4
/dev/sda6 ;ext4
/dev/sda5 ;linux-swap
habe in den Jaren 2022-2024, mit mehreren Pi gebastelt - etwas gelernt. Bin aber noch nicht "viel" weiter
und meinen Linux Lite Anfang habe ich längere Zeit auf Eis gelegt, weswegen: :imsorry
Ich muss mich an erster Stelle für die lange SENDEPAUSE entschuldigen.
Ziel war es ursprünglich gewesen und wäre es auch heute noch aus dem Laptop ein "dual-boot" System zu machen mit XP und LL 3.8
So wie ich den gparted verstehe ist da aber jetzt 2x LL bereits installiert
und ich kann die sda6 und sda7 weder neu formatieren, in der göße verändern oder löschen
Es gilt leider immer noch: "Denn er (ich) weiß nicht was er tut"
Vielleicht findet sich ja doch (nochmal) ein Coach ??
Wo stelle ich z.B. eine auto-Benachrichtigung für diesen Thread (bei Antworten) ein ??

Linux Lite Studio (1)
Low latency kernel
Hi, everyone!
I started this thread hoping that there are people here interested in audio production on Linux, specifically, on Linux Lite. I know there are targeted distros, but I am interested as said above, in a “Linux Lite Studio" flavor.
Thus, the title “Linux Lite Studio”.
Maybe they can help (or get help!).
Since the beginning is a kernel mattter, and then lots of specific applications, I suppose there are many here who can help find solutions and improvements.
From this perspective, a basic requirement is a lowlatency kernel.
Searching in Linux Lite’s kernel list (Lite Tweaks —>Kernel Install), I found only generic kernels.
Since nothing else is specified, the only alternative left, was Synaptic.
On a standard installation, the System Info App, reports “Linux 5.15.0.89-generic”.
So, I figured out I need to find its counter-part, “Linux 5.15.0.89-lowlatency”.
I found the kernel, installed it, and now (after reboot) is loaded.
The System Info App, reports “Linux 5.15.0.89-lowlatency”.
While in theory a “generic” kernel should be usable, in fact, there are specific settings at kernel level that need to be active, such as “threadirqs”.
While this is relative simple to solve, for the “-generic” kernel, there are specific settings that are unavailable in this type of kernel. That makes things go sideways when speaking of latency and DSP (Digital Signal Processing) long chains: DAW setup, many tracks, many plugins.
In order to make JACK work properly, I ndeed to have those kernel options.
Here is a common message issued by JACK:
“Cannot create RT messagebuffer thread: Operation not permitted (1)”.
There are others also.
Although JACK runs, the problem is that I got xruns (frame droppings) with the “-generic” kernel.
Main problem here, is the latency. Since latency is a huge story, I’ll skip the details and say that each and every piece of “something”, where “something” means both hardware and software, has a specific latency. The bad thing is that this is additive so the longer the DSP chain, the greater the lateny hence, the more xruns.
The lower the latency, the better are the results in the audio process (recording, playing, mastering).
The kernel options needed, i.e., are the following:
CONFIG_HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_LATENCYTOP=y
This is possible only with the said type of kernel.
Those settings, are needed to use a latency monitoring tool, called “LatencyTOP”, which is very similar with “Top” and “Htop”, except it is specifically designed for pro-audio use.
