Ean,

Try pressing the print screen key without the ctrl or alt key.  It should open a utility called Screenshot which leads through a screen or window capture to a file. Or try opening Screenshot from the menu - probably under accessories.

Anyone else having a problem replying to some posts ?  Specifically posts with an apostrophe character in the subject line don't seem to open but just link back to the forum section listing.

Using firefox  95.0.1 with a few plugins.

Hi,    Although learning the ropes, I'm still relatively new to Linux. With Windows, when I want to print screen and save the file, I hit Control & Print Screen which puts the image on the clipboard. I then open Paint, Paste, and the image appears and can be saved. The image doesn't appear in Paint when I hit Paste on LL 5.6; please advise me on this. My PC is an HP6005, 2.7GHz dual core with 4Gb RAM, onboard graphics. Ean.

Updated the Nvidia driver!

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a Nvidia G84M 8600M graphics card.

The screen will freeze as soon as I use Firefox and navigate to the BBC website.

The mouse pointer does not freeze, but nothing else works.

This happens on every other Linux distro, except for Deepin with  "select the option to update the graphics driver" while installing.

I suspect that I need to update the graphics driver.

I have tried to install Linux Lite without and with the additional drivers, but this does not solve the issue.

I have tried 5.6 and the current 5.8 Beta.

Please help!

Guten Abend,

nachdem ich letztens ein uasnahmsweise recht neues Spiel gekauft habe und Spielen wollte, habe ich mich nach Startproblemen, mit meinen Graphictreibern beschäftigt und habe jetzt mehr Probleme als zuvor.

meine GraKa ist eine GrForce 1050 Ti, mein System: Linux Lite 5.6.

Unter "Install-drivers" bzw. "Software und Updates" werden mir verschiedene Treiber vorgeschlagen. Bis jetzt war wohl immer der Punkt der Standarttreiber ausgewählt (OpenSource). Die vermeintlich aktuellste Version war für mich die "Nvidia driver metapacket 470".
Die Auswahl dieses Treibers löste mein Spielproblem nicht und so befolgte ich eine Anleitung, die mir den Treiber: der Endung "495" einbrachte.

NAch Neustart hatte ich nur eine Auflösung zur Auswahl (ca 800 px weite). darauf hin weiter gesucht und einen Tipp gefunden, den ich leider nicht mehr finden kann und nur sagen kann, dass im Terminal ein Errorlog angezeigt wurde. wichtigster Inhalt war der Hinweis den Treiber 390 zu probieren, da  der aktuelle Treiber nicht nutzbar wäre.

Auflösung nun i.O., Problem: öffne ich das oben genante Programm nun, hängt sich Linux auf bzw das Programm. die Maus lässt sich bewegn, aber nichts auswählen(weder im Programm, noch das Menü oder ein anderes Programm). ähnliche Probleme habe ich nun auch bei Spielen, die vorher ohne Probleme liefen.
Als ich in "System-Information" den Reiter "GPU zeichnen" auswählte, wurde der Bildschirm kurz schwarz und ich musste mich neu anmelden.

Nun muss ich zudem zugeben, dass ich verschiedene hilfekösungen getestet habe und inzwischen den Überblick verlor, was ich versucht habe und vielleicht nicht Rückgängig gemacht habe/machen konnte.

Ein Tipp war es die OpenGL version per Terminal direkt zu schreiben auf 4. ...(?) . kann dies das Problem sein, lässt sich das korrigieren?


vielen Dank im vorraus

MfG

I have LL on an external HDD.  When I now try to boot I get the GRUB menu and let it default to Ubuntu.  Instead of going to the LL login screen, the system hangs up.  Part of the error message say something about a controller and that the USB device was not recognized.  I got major updates yesterday that looked like Ubuntu version updates.  Not sure where to proceed from here.  I might have a timeshift backup, but not a very recent one and if I cannot boot into LL, is kind of tough to run Timeshift.  I will check to see if I have a backup on other media.
