  RE-Returning to Linux Lite
Posted by: Jesse Bassett - 01-04-2023, 05:03 PM - Forum: Introductions - No Replies

Hello everyone!,
I am a very smart skilled linux user. I must say Linux Lite 6.2 has impressed me so much I made it my default Linux distibution on my desktop! I am actually going to install it as well on my 2012 macbook pro and my mid 2009 imac. I love this distro and am glad I gave up Linux Mint after their founder Clem's antisemtic remarks! I will be very active here trying to help people out.

Blessings!

  Long startup due to hardcoded if-up apt-get update
Posted by: rew - 01-02-2023, 03:51 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (11)

Hi Guys

I'm using Linux Lite since several years. I Love it for its performance and simple user interface.

While migrating to the latest Ubuntu 22.04 based images I've faced remarkable performance decrease for the boot process.
I've analyzed this with `systemd-analyze blame`... and on all my machines the networking-service seemed to be the problem with 25-30 seconds delay on every boot.

Digging deeper, I isolated the a seemingly pre-installed if-up.d hook: as the source. So I gain all the boot performance back with a simple

sudo chmod -x /etc/network/if-up.d/update

IMHO this is a bug. I can't understand why this should be required.
I guess each and every lite user is suffering from this. Or could it be that it derives from third-party, that I'm used to install on all these machines?
If we need a regular 'apt update' call for lite ... the if-up.d hooks seem to be the wrong location.  :error

Can we fix this in a future release?

For detailed boot analysis, see my attached .svg images in the .zip.

  Checking amount of RAM via terminal in LL 5.0
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 01-01-2023, 08:20 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I wondered if there was a way in terminal to check the amount of RAM on a laptop in LL 5.0?

In LL 3.8 I use the line:  $ free -m or $ free -h (if I want it in GBs), however this command doesn't work in LL 5.0

  Legion-5-15ACH6H suspend
Posted by: Lyfrost - 12-30-2022, 01:09 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problem on my laptop.
I have a laptop with no OS, installed win10 and dual booting with linuxLite.
Everything works fine but when i suspend my linuxlite session, the screen turns off and the power button flashes at a slow interval which is the expected behavior.
When i move the mouse/press keyboard key to "wake up" the laptop i see the power button staying on "ON" mode but the screen stays off and i can't see anything although i can hear my CPU/fan waking up.

I don't know if it's a GPU problem, i have a Legion-5-15ACH6H laptop with a NVIDIA GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] driver.

On the additional driver tab i have "Using X;Org X  server - Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (open source)" activated


Thanks for the help

  My Favorite Linux Distributions For 2022
Posted by: trinidad - 12-29-2022, 01:13 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Contrary to Jesse Smith at distrowatch I think Linux Mint (Cinnamon) has changed very little in 2022. So I decided to do my own picks. They apply specifically to 2022.

  PERFILES DE SONIDO
Posted by: Jesús TEJERINA RIVERA - 12-29-2022, 12:42 PM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - Replies (1)

Buen día a todos.

Al conectar un dispositivo de audio bluetooth, no cargan los perfiles de sonido, por lo tanto no suena. Según estuve averiguando (no entiendo muy bien), es que el sistema operativo al iniciar intenta cargar los perfiles primero cuando aún no ha cargado los controladores del bluetooth.
Lo que actualmente hago es conectar el audio bluetooth (pero no suena). Luego en consola hago sudo service bluetooth restart y luego ya empieza a sonar.

Cómo puedo solucionar ello para que primero cargue los controladores bluetooth y luego los perfiles de sonido.

Gracias.
