ok so naught to worry about?

Hi yet again. I'm working through an online tutorial to better understand terminal, which I've now learned is a means of inputing commands, options and inputs which the shell then interprets and acts upon (bash being most common shell). The commands are stored within the path and are called...

Thanks for all your help and advice. I know it may read as if I am getting ahead of myself, but I simply wanted to get a basic system up and running before properly diving into the terminal. I have tried many distros, and a lot seemed quite glitchy or too resource heavy for my hardware. I did...

Cheers for help. Managed to put on ubuntu software centre (life is now a lot easier) - reinstalled pycharm though it, ensuring that it goes in correct location. I think I now have an environment in which i can start to learn. I have done the following: installed Libre Office - setting...

Update, desktop entry has appeared randomly, but all other question permanent

Hi I've tried installing pycharm and retro pi on lubuntu 18.10. I had pycharm up and running, but made mistake along the way. I deleted the folder, but i don't think that has fully uninstalled it. I reinstalled using this method...

Hi again I've had a look for this path: /usr/share/xorg.conf.d/. It does not exist on my system. The xorg.config, plus other files are in x11: If i change name of file from 20-intel.conf to xorg.conf.d screen tearing returns

Hi guys I'm running lubuntu on a laptop with intel onboard gfx. Screen tearing was beginning to drive me nuts. I have, however, found a solution on youtube: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" Option "TearFree" "true"...

Hi again. My point is that i get the 404 error whatever repo i try adding. I understand that some may be old and therefore inaccessible. I receive the line about repo cannot be accessed and is disabled by default whatever repo i try adding. As requested here is my source list: ##...

Hi, new the linux, using lubuntu on laptop. I know this forum is for 'full fat' ubuntu, but I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me. Every time i try adding a repositary i receive the following: I get similar output whatever repo i try to add. There are youtube videos on how...

Swapped over to lubuntu. Seems to have high rating on distrowatch for laptops. Running a lot smoother. Have another problem though, it will not let me add repositories. I will create another thread for this: https://www.linux.org/threads/lubuntu-unable-to-add-repositaries.20458/

I have an update. I played a youtube video and all cores were at 100%. I paused it while having dinner and started it thereafter, at this point maximum usage was 40%. Now, i think i can guess what you will say: 'the pause time allowed for bufferiing'. This, i don't think is the case, grey...

Thanks wizard for the recommendation to other users, much appreciated. The percentages are take from 'system monitor'. I also had i-nex (cpu-z alternative) on xunbutu, but cannot seem to install on mint
