Hi All
I just installed Lite a couple of days ago and am very pleased with the OS except for one thing; on my old Acer laptop (Pentium P6200, 3gb RAM, 500GB HD, on which I cleared everything before installation) the machine is taking around 3 minutes to boot. Any suggestions?

Many thanks for any help.

Chris

Hey im new to linux lite. Yesterday i installed it on my older notebook (Acer Aspire E1-771) because win10 been way to heavy for him.
Im really surprised how useable this notebook got, otherwise it could been went straight to the bin.

Everything went fine, but i noticed my touchpad worked little weird. Even if the touchpad felt really good and responsible, the scroll bar been on 50% of the whole right side of the touchpad.

So i spend some after hours for a solution. I found out the driver my touchpad is using is synaptics, so i watched for some update or other version of it.
Somewhere i found this code

Just noticed "2 Important updates available " when I click on install I see that they are - to "update login" and "update password" - call me paranoid but are these bona fide and genuine updates ? - I cancelled the update until such times as I can establish that these are genuine updates so would appreciate any assistance you can offer

Just preformed a clean install of LL 6.2 and install went without a hitch.


When I tried to update this came up.

I have been happily using Linux Lite for a number or years.  When I just tried to upgrade ver 5.8 with 6.2 etched on a USB, my installation started well going through location, network connection and so on but then went black.  When I rebooted, I ended up with this... "GNU GRUB version 2.4 minimal BASH-like line editing is supported.  For the first word, Tab lists possible command completions.  Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. "  Then I get a grub> command. 

It won't reinstall, just goes right back to the message and prompt.

How can I fix this?  Is my Dell laptop bricked?

I am trying to use the serial port to access a Lantronix mss100 via null modem cable - LL 5.4.

Using gtkterm, when I run the program I get a "permission denied" message.  How do I gain access to the serial port?






*Edit* Solved - I had to add myself as a member of the "dialout" group.  Now it is working.

Hello!

The integrated webcam is not shown at all in skypeforlinux/discord/cheese/chrome. The external webcam is shown, but the content is just black.
I have dual boot with Windows 10. The integrated webcam works there and the external one (Genius Eye 312) started to work after I installed its driver.
My laptop is ACER Nitro 5 AN515-58-789C and I found no keyboard shortcut in the user manual.

The system report: https://www68.zippyshare.com/v/Vf6ljuUW/file.html
I figured that the internal webcam is 0408:4035 Quanta Computer, Inc. ACER HD User Facing in lsusb.

cat /dev/video0 shows No such file or directory
