| Wireless USB adapter not working since last update (july 2020) |

Hello,
Since my last update of Linux Lite (3 days ago) my Wireless USB adapter (TL-WN722N) doesn't work anymore. It seems not to be recognized by the system and the green LED (on top of the adapter) doesn't turn on anymore.
The laptop built-in wifi still works though (but signal is pretty poor due to location (hence the use of external adapter)).
I tried to update the driver but "software & updates" tells me:" No additional drivers available."
I tried it with another computer (Asus) running the same version of Linux Lite on which I haven't done any updates for a month or so and the USB adapter is recognized and works fine.
My system is
-Version-
Kernel : Linux 4.4.0-186-generic (x86_64)
Compiled : #216-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 1 05:34:05 UTC 2020
C Library : Unknown
Default C Compiler : GNU C Compiler version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.12)
Distribution : Linux Lite 3.8
-Current Session-
Computer Name : joe-Latitude-E6440
User Name : joe (Joe)
Home Directory : /home/joe
Desktop Environment : XFCE 4
-Misc-
Uptime : 1 hour, 30 minutes
Load Average : 0.05, 0.19, 0.25
Here is the output of "sudo lsusb" (with the USB adapter plugged in) if that helps:
Code: joe[member=6256]Joe[/member]-Latitude-E6440:~$ sudo lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 058f:6254 Alcor Micro Corp. USB Hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
When I unplug it and run the command again, the line with "Atheros Communications, Inc ..." isn't there anymore.
Thank you in advance for your help.

| Problem with Videocard and Wifi adapter drivers |

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to Linux and recently just install Linux Lite 5 on my old Alienware M17x laptop. Everything seems fine after the installation but when I followed the guide to update the drivers for graphic card and wifi adapter then having problem with booting. The weird thing is everything works just fine at the beginning without update the drivers, I can get wifi connection except the speed is kinda slow for my regular speed when I use with Windows. Could you guys please help me out with it or any recommendations for what I need to do now ? I can just ignore updating the drivers and keep using it this way but I wanna make the internet connection faster. Any help would be appreciated !

Hello everybody!
As I said before, I moved on a different machine.
I will be updating this post, as I gather new info on how Linux Lite 5.0 (or higher!  ) works on this machine.
For now, I will only post here the output of the inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz command so you can figure out what kind of machine this is and get inspired on what works and how.
Code: serban@T1700:~$ inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz
System:
Kernel: 5.4.0-40-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Xfce 4.14.2

Optical-1: /dev/sr0 vendor: PLDS model: DVD-ROM DH-16D8S
dev-links: cdrom,dvd
Features: speed: 48 multisession: yes audio: yes dvd: yes rw: none
I also uploaded the data on the Linux Lite HW Database so people can get a reference on Linux Lite performance.
The only trouble I had was actually caused by my low level practice with booting and installing UEFI kits. It took me some 40 - 80 minutes to figure out the exact steps of the boot process.
From what I can say now, everything goes FLAWLESSLY.
Unfortunately, thorough tests, require a huge amount of time since I need to test many scenarios.
From what I could gather so far:
- RAM consumption with OpenShot rendering a 720p HD video = 1600 MB;
- Video used: NVidia GK 107 with 430 driver, worked with 37 FPS;
- Video used: NVidia GK 107 with XOrg driver, worked with 31 FPS;
- OpenShot (same as above) + Chrome, 15 documents = 2700 MB RAM;
- CPU load, never maxed (went at about 65%);
- SWAP = 0. I belive this is mostly due to the 240 GB SSD.
- Partitioning: GPT.
There is still a huge amount of work to do here. A quick overview:
Three NVidia drivers to test: 340.108; 390; 435.
The Intel® HD Graphics 4600 (need to set it as primary display, then see what happens next, even remove the GeForce GT 630).
Hope this will help people make a good choice and figure out WHY Linux Lite is great.
I guess it worths mentioning that my applications installation script, remained the same as for LL 4.8 on Lenovo ThinkPad T400.
The only problem I had is FSLint since it lacks a version compatible with the new components in Linux Lite 5.0 / Ubuntu 20.04.
All other User Apps (packages) (about 100) work fine.
I am very happy Linux Lite is so highly flexible!
Thanks Jerry, send my gratitude to all the team!
Best regards!

I'm wanting to make a live USB to recover my other T--s--up laptop. Tried to follow the 'help' tutorial to create a persistent live USB. Following the commands to download & install mkusb I seem to have completed the addition of the repository but the second command results in the following return:
-SATELLITE-C850D-11Q:~$ sudo apt install --install-recommends mkusb mkusb-nox usb-pack-efi
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package mkusb
E: Unable to locate package mkusb-nox
E: Unable to locate package usb-pack-efi
(Command was copied pasted directly from tutorial.) Now what do I do ??? ??

Hiya Folks,
Is there any one here that has excellent grub skills.
I have searched to no end, in getting GRUB to remain at boot up. It keeps disappearing? Yesterday it was there and today it is not?
It appears that after the update it is gone?
As I have had no end of trouble with LL before I want the GRUB to always be there so that I have safe boot mode and the likes to fall back on when something goes wrong.
Any help would be appreciated, thanking you in advance?
Why is it there is no GRUB command that can be used to just sort this out? If there is I have not come across it?
cheers
H

I'm using Linux Lite 3.8, my printer is a Cannon MP210. I can print fine from Libre Office, but I just installed Free Office, and nothing happens when I try to print.
For comparison, I also have Ubuntu 14, and I can print from Free Office on there.

| HP SmartTouch for Linux Lite 5 |

Hello Guys.
I am currently upgrading my sister's laptop which was previously installed with Linux Lite 4.X series (based on 16.4 LTS Ubuntu). This laptop - HP SmartTouch - was previously installed with Windows 8 but due to some keyboard problems, and other unknown problems, the touchscreen failed to work when upgraded to Windows 8.1. The keyboard problems remained so I decided to install Linux Lite. Keyboard problem solved but touchscreen still failed.
Can we expect the same with Linux Lite 5? That the touchscreen will not work? I'm not expecting anything but if it works, then great. And if not, I hope that my installation will just run smoothly.
