  Hard Drive Full???
Posted by: bigskill - 06-07-2020, 06:38 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (11)

Hi;I have linux lite X32 installed on an old laptop.
It has ran for over a year. I keep it updated at least weekly.
This past week it started locking up.  I then got error message hard drive full.I checked and it was at 100% 72gb. and it then started not loading properly..
I deleted all files in downloads and media. emptied trash. got it to 97%.
I had next to no files on this laptop.
How do I find/get rid of/clean up the excess files  70+gb excessive for OS and very few apps.
Why would drive fill up, I have no downloads/music/videos.

TIA

  Document Scanner (simple-scan)
Posted by: Marty - 06-07-2020, 05:06 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

I have used different versions of Lite and have never had issues with my Canon CanoScan Lide 35 scanner. I am using Lite 5.0 and I cannot get the Quality Brightness or Contrast settings to work. I have removed and re-installed the app several times. It seems that some dependencies may be missing. Any help will be appreciated.

  How do I use Firewalld?
Posted by: arky217 - 06-07-2020, 02:51 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

In LL4.8, the ufw firewall was simple to operate, just set it to autostart on boot.

In LL5.0, Firewalld seems very complicated.
I can't figure how to make it start at boot and the options are,
at least to me, not understandable.

Also, what is Firewall-cmd and how does it figure into Firewalld ?

Is it ok to just use the default Firewalld settings ?

And how do you start Firewalld and how do you autostart it on boot ?

And once you have it running, how do you disable it if needed and
then re-enable it ?

  Update to LL 5 - Whisker Menu
Posted by: JohnD - 06-06-2020, 02:15 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

I've tweaked many menu entries with the menu editor.

  • For example I've added a category "Schrfiten" (which means "fonts").
  • Also I've added the program name to several program entries, because f. e. I have installed multiple text and graphic editors.
See screen shots with example details

Will the update to LL 5 overwrite my menu entries?

  CherryTree 0.39.3
Posted by: H - 06-06-2020, 10:40 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (8)

Hiya Folks,

I have installed Cherrytree 0.39.3 today as I had just installed LL 5.0. this week.

The LL4.8 also had Cherrytree installed.

Problem:

In the previous install I could copy and paste text and images from a web page, into Cherrytree, no problem

In this version that was installed via snap store only copies the text, and does not copy paste the images as well.

I have searched the google and come up with no answers as yet. Has any body had this problem and found a fix?
thanks
H

  Hi, new here and love this OS so far
Posted by: 5dollaralien - 06-06-2020, 09:19 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

Just wanted to say Hi, and also complement on a wonderful install on my older Acer 5520-5912 Amd turion 64x2 tl58 with Nvidia 7000m graphics that on other distros I had to fudge drivers and such for the graphics but this one was just clean and unexpected I guess.. I breathed a sigh of relief when I booted the live version and it just worked..everything so far just works!!! So it was on to install and it just works!!! Thank You guys so much

Oh also I tinker with computers quite a bit but not an expert, my Son is the expert so when I need help..in fact he gifts me things like a Dell Poweredge R610 server for Christmas so I have set up Proxmox with Ubuntu lxc, plex server, and still experimenting. I am using refurbished office computer as HTPC, and use raspberry pi's as well, so I do like to play around with operating systems. And I work in Tool and Die/ Vinyl window extrusion environment so not even related.
Oh and I hate to throw away old computers it just seems like a waste, but I might have a problem.
