Hi everyone,

I am new to Linux Lite. I have it installed on a Asus laptop and I am using USB out to a Emotiva XDA-2 DAC for music. It works well but in the evening I turn off the DAC and  in the morning I need to reboot in order to get the OS to find the USB audio channel.

Is there a CMD I can use to re-scan for the USB audio output? I have tried re-plugging the USB cable but that does not work.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello friends,

Linux user for a few years, with some basic knowledge only, here.

I have an older Lenovo 100S-14IBR which originally came with a slimmed-down version of Windows.  After a year or two, Windows actually became too big for it, so I decided to try Linux.  I was unable to install anything, but somehow it would allow Ubuntu to install and run on for the past few years.  I believe there was some form of "protection" inside of this laptop to keep people from easily installing anything but Windows.

I recently decided to change to Linux Lite because Ubuntu was becoming too slow.  As I feared, I have been unable to install anything back on.  Not even Ubuntu, after Linux Lite seemed not to take.  In the process, I messed-up GRUB pretty bad.  I believe I fixed GRUB, but I now have multiple failed remnants of install attempts of various things that show up in my boot list.  Nothing on the list will boot.  I have used DiskPart to wipe the drive clean, and reinstalled Linux Lite, but it will not boot.  (I do not need to save anything on this computer, and will be happy to start fresh).

Following some previous Forum threads, I have created a pastbin upload, which resides at:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VzbbjCm6n4/

Can anyone help me with how to get this fresh install of Linux Lite running?  I have messed with every setting in BIOS that I can think of to try to emulate what allowed me to shoehorn Ubuntu onto this machine a few years ago.

Thoughts and help much appreciated!

How do I disable Keyring.

Merry Christmas LL Forum!
I'm trying to set up a Thunar Custom Action to print selected files in LL 5.2. Would anyone know what the command should be??
I have searched and found some info but nothing worked...
Thank you and Happy New Year too!

Hi There.
I am new to Linux, I installed it onto an old laptop.

When I select the highest display resolution (1360 x 768), everything is still quite HUGE on the screen.
It feels like the address bar in my web browser is almost half way down the screen!
(maybe I am just used to my work laptop that has a 1920 x 1080 display)

Is there any way to force the display to make everything smaller?
Surely it is not a hardware limitation, because when I zoom out on a webpage (by pressing Ctrl and -) the content gets smaller, but nothing looks funny.

Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there.

I am new to Linux. I installed Linux Lite on a 4 year old mid-range laptop at home.

Is there any way to reverse the two-finger scrolling direction for the trackpad?

I have ticked the reverse (natural) scrolling tickbox in the mouse/trackpad settings, but that didn't do anything.
(I assume that only changes the mouse wheel scrolling direction)

Any advice would be appreciated.
