Hello,

When I use any text editor in Linux Lite (LL), pressing Shift reverts the keyboard Numlock state. I am used to selecting words of text with Shift and the numpad arrows keys, and the LL keyboard behavior is a bit of nuisance.

I wasn’t able to find anything in the LL forum or tutorials on this topic.

I have tried the following methods to change this keyboard behavior:

1) The file

Quote:/etc/default/keyboard

seems to define the default keyboard options. Modifying the file line XKBOPTIONS=”” to 
works in my case after a LL restart.

2) The file

Quote:/usr/share/X11/xkb/types/numpad

seems to define the keyboard behavior, when pressing Shift and Numpad. I am tempted to play with the settings, but I’m unsure whether the LL updates overwrite this file.

3) The Terminal command combined with Application Autostart may work as well, but I haven’t tested it.

4) I have tried without success to use the

Quote:Setting Editor->keyboard-layout

There I have added /Default/XkbOptions/Numpad property. I have set its type as String, and its value as ‘numpad:microsoft’, but this hasn’t worked.

Method 4 seems to be almost user friendly, especially if there have been any hints or guidance, and it should be the proper way of modifying the keyboard behavior, but it just doesn’t work and I don’t know what the problem is. 

What I am wondering is whether there is a more user friendly way to change the Shift+Numpad keyboard behavior.
And how can I modify Shift+Numpad behavior using the the XkbOptions in Setting Editor->keyboard-layout?

Many thanks.

I have a simple goal:  to download and install Google Earth in Lenux Lite so that I can open the program by clicking on icon or selecting it from a menu.  I have been unsuccessful in getting there.  I have searched the internet for instructions.  I have copied codes and pasted them into my terminal.  I have followed instructions on at least five webpages.  I have become frustrated.

Should I give up and return to Windows?

Ran the Driver install tool from Brother but it didn't give the Device URI as USB. I selected no when asked. Changed it to "usb://Brother/HLL2390DW but still wont see the printer. Checking on the CUPS:631 and it shows as USB now. Checked and the driver is installed.On the CUPS 631  it says to "Add device and driver" I select the device but not sure about the driver?Probably missing something simple but will only mess things up more if I keep farting around.I see three uninstaller scripts in the unzipped folder, not sure if they would be sudo bash etc. or not. I had ran the installer several times over top of the first, probably not helpful.
Starting to wish I had stayed with HP.Any ideas anyone?
Oh running LL 5.2 or 5.4 not sure. :-)

How do you make auto login apply to just one user.
In other words, when booting the computer, it should
default to auto login to one particular user and not other users.

Get:14 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 python3-pygments all 2.3.1+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 [580 kB]

Normally my systems rip through updates quickly. I noticed this one lagged a bit today.

linux-image-generic linux-libc-dev microsoft-edge-dev python3-pygments

Must have to do with the new themes available for Edge. That answers my question. On that note by the way, sign-on and sync now work with MS Edge for Linux.

How do I restore the boot menu so I can boot into Linux Lite again?

I've been running my PC as a dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux Lite 5.2 64-bit, but after an update my PC only boots into Windows 10 and I'm not sure how to restore the boot menu.

Hallo together,

nachdem mein erster Post so klasse gelöst wurde - danke trinidad - frage ich doch gleich nochmal, bevor ich noch weitere 4 Wochen herumstümpere...

Ich würde gern den Tastenkürzelbefehl strg+alt+D auf das gute alte Win+D umstellen, wie es in Linux Mint zB. auch geht.

Nun finde ich leider den hinterlegten Befehl dazu nicht, also wie der lauten muss, noch kann ich das funktionierende strg+alt+D auf Win+D umstellen.

Weiß jemand, wo man das findet oder wie der Befehl lauten muss, um ein neues Kürzel zu etablieren?

Danke euch!!

Roger

Hallo,

nachdem ich Linux Lite auf das System, das ich bei meinem Profil angeben habe installiert hatte, wurde automatisch für meine Grafikkarte ATI X700 SE der LLVMpipe Renderer Mesa 3.2 Treiber installiert. Gehofft hatte ich auf den open source Radeon Treiber. Mein problem ist jetzt, das ich anscheinend keine Grafikbeschleunigung erfahre. Schon bei einer eher anspruchlosen Videowiedergabe ruckelt es und die Prozessorauslastung steigt auf 100 %.
Als Linux frischling und nach ausgiebiger recherche, hoffe ich nun um Hilfe und würde mich über eine Antwort freuen.
Fehlt der geignete Treiber? Wenn ja, ist dieser verfügbar? Und wenn ja, wo?

MfG
