I don't know why vs code isn't installing

Note :I just installed linux lite as my first ever linux distro and i wanted to use it to learnto code and then contribute to open source projects (like: Linux lite and other linux distros + emulators).
ANd i'm completely new to linux even thoughit's my favourite OS and i even watch dozens of linux related youtube videos.

Plz i'm asking help from the wonderful community of Linux lite and LINUX in general.

TL;DR: Wifi hotspot on PC disconnects when phone tries to connect to it.

New to Wifi. I bought the following wifi network adapter to make my PC a hotspot for my new smart phone to connect to:



I could finally make it work by installing the driver from kelebek333 (from the PPA repo).

I created a wifi connection with a method similar to this one. (The IPv4 & IPv6 settings are set to 'shared to other computers')

I can activate the connection successfully, but as soon as I turn the phone on and it tries to connect to the wifi signal, the PC connection drops. Sometimes, it can last for a few seconds, just enough to download some notifications. Sometimes it drops by itself, but I think it is because some of my neighbors' machines try to connect to my wifi signal.

What could be the problem? The driver? The hardware itself? Wrong set-up? Some info about my system:

Hello,

I have just installed a FRESH copy of Linux Lite 5.4 on my laptop. I loved the live USB system so decided to give it a go.

To my dismay this is what I booted into on my first boot (see attached pictures). What is this? I don't remember being asked for a raw Xfce desktop with nothing there. How can I fix this without reinstalling again? If this can't be fixed, Linux Lite is useless for me and I will need to look for another distro. What about those google ads in Firefox that cannot be closed? This surely is weird.

I'm a 16 year + Linux user and never in my life have I had something like that happen on a fresh installation. Can anyone offer suggestions on what went wrong? Thanks.

I can't even attach a photo in this forum.

I enabled the Lite Widget on the 5.4 release but it is displayed almost entirely off-screen.  Here is a picture of what is happening.



What should I do to get the widget readjusted on-screen?

Also, how would I move the widget to the second monitor?

I installed a fresh copy of Linux Lite 5.4 since I was installing a new graphics card (NVIDIA GTX 1070).

I use dual monitors which they worked fine in Linux Lite 4.2 which was my old version I used.

But after this new install, the menu panel is on the second monitor instead of the primary monitor.

I can't find out how to move it.  Can anyone help please?


*Edit*  Now I found it...it was in panel preferences - Output can choose which monitor to put it on.

Rather than me downloading some software and then fighting with it to work, maybe someone here can recommend a program that will work well with my Samsung Laser jet printer/scanner?

I had luck with GSCAN2PDF with LL 4.0 but not with 5.2.

I will probably upgrade to 5.4.  Any suggestions?  And if so, the best way to download it?

THANKS

Hi,
Today I did an update, Thunderbird was updated.
Then, I realize that the sound is lost, the volume control pops up frequently, whether I check the configuration in the Manual and run alsamixer I have no idea what is happening.
I upload the report of my system in order to recieve any help.
I could see the sound in the audio control panel and also while I run a test in the terminal with the command:
speaker-test -c 2


Regards

Having just upgraded LL3.8 to LL5.2 without any major issues I have come across one very annoying issue. Despite trying everything I know I am no longer able to freely resize the whisker menu panel i.e. it will resize in height only but not in width.


I prefer to have the smallest possible icons withing this menu and the menu looks now ridiculous with loads of wasted white space and the width of the menu taking up a third of the whole screen. I've never experienced this issue in previous versions of LL where I have always been able to resize this window freely.


Can someone please help me resolve this issue or point out where I am going wrong. TIA
