Hello all.

Just introducing myself. I'm back to Linux, and Linux Lite, after a hiatus. Still a Linux neophyte, though, but eager to learn.

Cheers,

  Rotated screen, mouse works, touch screen remains unrotated
Posted by: d0ugparker - 11-16-2020, 04:20 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

(Posted on reddit, but I received no answer, so I'm posting here. I did do a search here on LL, but... no joy.)

I installed LL on an ITX motherboard system with an LG touchscreen, portrait-oriented monitor, then went to Settings > Display to rotate it. Cool. The mouse works as expected, but I wasn't ready to have the touch screen broken out as its own x,y-oriented device.

So now, when I use the mouse, everything's great. When I tap the screen, however, the touch screen still registers unrotated touches, 90° off where they're expected. Quirky-funny, too, in a nerdy sort of way--"Oh, yeah? Take that, and that, and that-that-that!"

I peeked into the virtual screen settings, and found two locations where there were *rotate* values set to zero, I changed them to 90, but got zero change, so I set them back. I thought about needing to reboot, but figured it wouldn't be necessary.

Any suggestions where to go poking around to marry up the touch screen with its touches so the mouse and touch coincide?

  3.8: How to place the task bar at the top of the screen?
Posted by: UglyStuff - 11-14-2020, 04:51 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Hi everyone,

I've searched this forum, and in other places, and found nothing that does work on my copy of 3.8 (because 32-bit-only on my 2006 MacBook Pro) about placing the task bar / menu bar at the top of the screen, so I thought I'd ask.

Supposedly, all you have to do is unlock it via the Properties applet, and drag-drop it where you want to put it, but that doesn't work for me.

I even tried to set it on the side, then drag-and-drop it, the way you would in Windows, but that doesn't work either.

I want to install Plank at the bottom of the screen, and sure enough, the menu bar gets in the way, big time. Of course, I could hide it altogether, but then I'd lose the clock and all the other icons in the notification area.

What should I do?

  usb drive disapears overnight
Posted by: Dave Adam - 11-14-2020, 12:46 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (9)

I tried reading some of the previous post about drives, but didn't find anything that worked.  If I missed one I'm sorry.

A couple of months ago I could live my computer on for weeks and my usb external hard drive would stay connected.  Now if I leave it sit for any length of time I have to hard boot my computer in order to get it to work again.  I feel like it is going to sleep or something, I can't even use terminal when this happens as it is all jambed up. And the restart function just goes to a blank page until I hard boot and start over.

I don't use my computer for a lot so I guess it's not an end of life thing, but it is anoying.

Any one have an idea what setting I need to change?

Thanks,

  Ayuda con teclado USB
Posted by: Malkav Ïan - 11-14-2020, 08:36 AM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - Replies (10)

[pre]Buenas, espero que puedan ayudarme:
Tengo una laptop con linux lite 5.2 me esta gustando mucho tengo dos días que lo instalé
El detalle es que hace unas horas, no sé si fue mi gato o qué, pero tenía la laptop desconectada y no me fijé, la bateria no le dura mucho
(unos 40 minutos) y se me apagó sin darme cuenta.
La encendí normal, pero ahora el teclado usb no funciona... bueno, funciona a medias.
Estoy usando el teclado de la laptop, pero me es muy incómodo.
Me fije que cuando activo las mayusculas o el teclado numérico, se ve reflejado en los leds del teclado, osea, el teclado si recibe información
de la laptop, encienden los leds acorde. Pero no al revez, apreto todos los botones y nada.

Estuve investigando un poco, probé reinstalando el xorg, pero no funciono.
Probe yendo a idiomas y cambiando el metodo de entrada, sin exito.
Probé haciendo un mconfig y reconfigurando, pero nada.
Lo he cambiado de puertos, lo he reiniciado muchas veces, probe configurado el bios en sus valores por defecto
El teclado simplemente no quiere funcionar, ya no se que hacer.
Tambien mire aqui en el foro, consegui a alguien con un problema similar... pero al revez, a él le funciona el teclado usb y no el de la laptop.
Si pudieran ayudarme, yo seguiré investigando.

Muchas gracias.[/pre]
