There is something at their site but it doesn't work. I need this badly.

Hi everyone,

One of the (many) things I like about LL is that you get a right-click in the lower right corner of the (Appletouch) trackpad out of the box. That way, you don't have to chance a two-finger right-click that will fail, more often than not, and only scroll your page up or down.

Thing is, however practical, this feature needs some refinement on my aging (early 2006) MacBook Pro, because I think the tapping zone/area is too large, and I'll trigger a right-click even when all I want is, say, to left-click on the Like button in Twitter, and that's annoying.

Is there a way to resize the tapping zones/areas in Linux Lite?

My computer has time and date going ahead even days. This started when I upgraded to LL 5.0 but It is now happening even with LL4.6. I understand I cant have time without internet and without hardware RTC. Bios battery have already being changed with no help. Since computers with no hw rtcs exist (raspberry pi for example) I wonder if it's possible to override hw rtc when internet is available.

Code:
linux  ~  sudo hwclock --get
hwclock: ioctl(RTC_RD_TIME) to /dev/rtc0 to read the time failed: Invalid argument
linux  ~ 
When that happens I have to enter time manually with time and date (preinstalled software) in order to access some websites.
sudo hwclock --get usually works but when it fails my computer loses time.

Hi everyone,

I'm still struggling with Lite 3.8 (32-bit, because my early 2006 MacBook Pro has a Core Duo CPU that only accepts 32-bit OSes) startup, with the occasional black screen of nothingness that prompts for a force shutdown, or the unwanted reboot on every other startup (see here: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/start...53405/#new).

To counter this until I find a viable solution, I'd like to use hibernation. On the Mac side of my MacBook Pro, it's pretty straightforward to set up, and very convenient, but on the Lite side, well...

I've read countless tutos here and there about how to do it, but there doesn't seem to be a mother of all recipes for my machine. Swap is set at 4GB (twice the installed RAM), so if the hibernation file is to be stored there, there's plenty of room to wriggle.

I'd really like to make this work, so please holler!

I am using Linux Lite/Ubuntu 18.04 and I recently faced a problem that my laptop's bluetooth was switching on but when I tried to use Blueman to switch it off, I was introduced with an error saying:

Code:
Failed to execute command "blueman-manager".
Failed to execute child process "blueman-manager" (No such file or directory)

Then I tried installing it but when I ran
Code:
sudo apt install blueman

I got this output:
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
blueman is already the newest version (2.0.4-1ubuntu2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I guess this means it is installed but I cannot run the GUI nor can I see any indicator for it.

Please help.
Thanks!

I found the driver installed it using the terminal and it never said done. it just said installing then showed the default user@username/ message again that you get when you first open it. Anyone know what to do?

Installed LL 5.0 on a really old laptop today that hasn't been used for something like two years. It's the first time any distro in my experience has ever automatically detected and used the wifi hardware in that machine (Dell Latitude). I'm delighted to see the progress this distro is making!

Hi! I switched over from Mint and I am loving your distro. I gladly donated. I need help installing my home network Brother MFCJ485DW printer. I keep getting the error "There was an error during the CUPS operation: server-error-internal-error". I disabled firewall and it still gives the same error. Please help.
