When running Vivaldi in my recently installed Linux Lite operating system, the right side is clipped.
I can get it back on the screen if I reset the scale in the panel on the right hand side next to the time indication, but I have to reduce it to 60% or less. Then the text is vanishingly small.
Is it the operating system or the browser?
What need I do to set this correctly please?

Jim.

I have a new Realtek 88x2bu WiFi dongle and I'm trying to install it in Linux Lite.
It installs the equivalent drivers :  rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux drivers according to information received.

Terminal results:

Howdy folks,
I asked this question a few months ago when I downloaded the new Thunderbird mail and installed it on the W7 side.  Does anyone know when the 102.01 series will be available for update on Linux Lite?  On the Ubuntu website it is available as a snap or flatpack, also states it is available for download from the Thunderbird site as well.  There are many security updates on the newest version as well as UI improvements so I ask again does anyone know when the update will trickle down to Linux Lite?

Hi, my own Linux Lite 6.0 desktop looks as it should (top image below). I created an account for my son, log into his account, and...the desktop looks entirely different (bottom image):

How can I change this to look like the default one (like mine)?

Thanks/Evert

Forum: Printing and Scanning

Hi all,

The HP Laser MFP 135w printer/scanner appears to be tricky to get to work under Linux since it is not supported by HPLIP, despite being manufactured by HP (well, who knows really). After some googling and trying I managed to get it to work and it is actually pretty straightforward. I thought I'd share my experience, maybe this is useful for others with the same or similar models. I am running Linux Lite 6.0.

1) download the printer driver from here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/sel...l/24494382. Initially the page may state that 'We were unable to find drivers for your product.' Click on 'Choose a different OS', select 'Linux' as operating system, and 'Ubuntu' as version. You can then download the driver.

2) extract the driver archive in a temporary folder. This gives a folder named 'uld' with several subfolders and 6 shell scripts.

3) as root (sudo) run the install-printer.sh script and then the install-scanner.sh script (default options throughtout)

4) from the Lite menu open the 'Configure Printers' app and select 'Add' to add a new printer

5) after a few seconds your printer should show up automatically under the Network printer list (make sure the printer is turned on). I selected the top entry that said:

HP Laser MFP 131 133 135-138 (192.168.86.28)

6) Click forward and let the program search for drivers - it will not find any

7) Under 'Choose Driver' select 'Provide PPD file'

8| Browse to /usr/share/ppd/uld-hp and open the file HP_Laser_MFP_13x_Series.ppd (this file was created when installing the drivers under step 3)

9) Click Forward, and rename your printer if necessary

10) Print a test page

The Document Scanner program that comes default with Linux Lite 6.0 worked out of the box after this. It may take a few seconds for your compouter to find the scanner on your network.

Good luck/Evert

Forum: UEFI Secure Boot
- Replies (3)

I installed LL 6.0 on an old machine via DVD.  Apparently this mobo uses UEFI which I haven't used before.

After the install was done, booting the machine doesn't automatically start LL.  It just stops with a blinking cursor.  No other OS on the machine.

If I press F11 at boot for the boot menu, it doesn't show the grub menu I am used to but there is an option to boot Ubuntu.  If I select this, then LL will boot ok.

So my questions are why doesn't LL start automatically and how can I get the grub menu to display automatically at boot with this UEFI stuff?

I want to run a small Windows application in my little mini laptop. I have Linux Lite 3.8 installed.
How do I install Wine in this operating system?
Or first of all, is it possible?

I'm running the latest LL OS always updated. Dell laptop has been running this OSs for several years now no real issues.
Today I booted the lap top up and noted that the home page is displaying some abnormal operations I'm not doing/requesting.
1. The mouse is jumping all over the screen or disappears all together.
2. The Battery Power Manager keeps showing up several times in a minute showing battery run times from normal to 6 moths run time.
3. A pop-up menu as if I clicked the home screen keeps popping up and going away by itself
4. Work spaces will cycle back and forth between each other.
5. If I go to the main lower left menu and try to open it it will not open. if it does open after several minutes of trying and I go to shut down,the laptop will not shut down instantly.It will take several minutes to recognize the command and then shut down.
6. The BIOS screens mouse is also abnormal in operation. It jumps all over the screen or goes away all together. I cannot get to the system info to post the version of LL.
I'm not sure if this is a LL software clinch or my laptop mouse pad has died? It was working normally last night and now no matter if I shut down and pull the battery for several minutes, the same problem is present.
I am not a computer expert by any means,but would like help with this problem please.
