  I need help to estabilsh the brightness control keys
Posted by: zaov - 12-03-2019, 05:41 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hello. I hope you'all are good.

I posted this same topic in the Spanish section but the help I got didn't work.

You'll see, I'm a newbe not with Linux Lite, but with Linux.  So I'm really lost.

I need help by establishing the brightness control keys to my laptop. My computer is a Compac Presario CQ42 and it has the keys F2 and F3 as default to adjust the bright, but now in this distro it isn't working.

I found a "solution" in here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/174770/i...brightness
But it didn't work, I mean, I think I have a problem with my fn key, because I can establish the keys, but then it doesn't work.

By other side, if some of you know how to establish the keys Super + (arrows) to move the window to the sides of the screen I will thank you the double  Tongue ;D .


I thank you a lot.

  Good idea to clone HDD to ssd?
Posted by: waynebob - 12-03-2019, 12:36 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (11)

Ordered 2 Samsung ssd's, one M.2 and one sata expecting to use Samsung Magician Software. Upon reading about it before they arrive I find the software will not work in Linux.
Is it a good idea to clone ( LL 4.6 & LL 3.8 ) using d.d. or Clonezilla or do a reinstall?
Found this tutorial :
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor.../#msg39977
Not sure if this is a solution and if d.d. runs from the live system or from a bootable cd?
Thanks Wayne.
I understand LL 4.6 will do trim and 3.8 I will have to set it up.

  Necesito ayuda para establecer las teclas de control del brillo
Posted by: zaov - 12-02-2019, 09:08 PM - Forum: Spanish [Spanish] - Replies (6)

Muy buenas. Espero que estén de maravilla.

Verán, soy nuevo no solo en el uso de esta distribución sino en el uso de Linux, así que estoy perdidísimo en muchas cuestiones.

Una de esas cuestiones en las que estoy perdido es en la asignación de teclas. Tengo una laptop Compac Presario CQ42 que tiene por defecto las teclas f2 y f3 para modificar el brillo de la pantalla, sin embargo, en esta distribución no puedo hacer uso de esa característica.

Encontré una solución a medias para el problema con la instalación de xdotool tal como recomiendan aquí: https://askubuntu.com/questions/174770/i...brightness

El problema con esta solución en mi caso es que las teclas son reconocidas al usar fn + f2 (o f3) pero no cumplen su función a la hora de  presionarlas.

No encuentro otra solución para lo que busco, así que si ustedes como comunidad activa de esta distribución (por lo demás maravillosa, estoy muy contento con ella) pueden colaborarme estaría muy agradecido.

PD: Si hay cabida a otra solicitud, me encantaría obtener ayuda también con la asignación de teclas para que al precionar Super + (flecha a la izquierda, derecha o arriba) la ventana en la que se está trabajando se dirija a uno de los costados del monitor.

Muchas gracias!

  System backup to another drive
Posted by: Tyrannocaster - 12-01-2019, 02:30 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

I have an SSD as a system drive, and I have two internal conventional disks as well, both formatted FAT-32. I'd like to backup my system to one of the bigger drives, but Timeshift tells me it can't do that. Timeshift also tells me my SSD is not a Linux formatted device, though, which is obviously incorrect. Despite that message it does appear to backup the system to the SSD, but AFAIC that's of limited value since if the disk dies, so does the backup.

Any ideas welcome.

  Dedicated GPU for 1080p videos ?
Posted by: arky217 - 11-29-2019, 06:49 PM - Forum: Video Cards - No Replies

Running LL 4.6, Gigabyte B360M D3H motherboard, Pentium Gold G5400 cpu, 8GB of DDR4 2400 ram.
The pentium has Intel's integrated UHD 610 graphics.

Would I notice any improvement in watching 1080p videos if I installed
a dedicated GPU ? (I do not do any gaming)

And if so, what would be a good choice for significant improvement
over the Intel UHD 610 ?  (Prefer a GPU under $100 and compatible with LL.)

  Upgrading from 4.0 to 4.6
Posted by: Tyrannocaster - 11-28-2019, 02:36 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (12)

I'm a non-power user. I've been using 4.0 for over a year now without much trouble except for constant problems with thumb drives, which would sure be nice to be rid of (if that's possible). I have never upgraded Linux Lite before and I have a couple of questions.

What do I lose when I do this? I assume all my desktop customizations go, but do I need to manually reinstall non-OS apps like browsers, etc? What about logins, passwords for the browsers, email program, etc?

My Lite Upgrade is the correct one, according to the upgrade notice.

I noticed that the directions tell you to run Timeshift first to do a backup, but Timeshift has NEVER worked for me and I ended up deleting it. I use Clonezilla, although I have never had to restore the system because it's never been necessary. But I would certainly run it before trying anything. I don't know if this would make a difference - don't see how, but I'm just trying to provide complete information.

Thanks!

  Changing from Windows OS to Linux Lite
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 11-28-2019, 08:18 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (18)

I wondered if members might weigh in on this question:

I met the new IT person at an NGO here in South Africa.  The NGO allows me to use their facilities whereby I may bring my study group youth to access the internet and have a nice, safe place to study, research, etc at no fee. It is wonderful and saves me buying data for internet activities.

The NGO currently uses windows based software both for their admin people as well as on their computers that they use to deliver a basic computer skills course.  I am unsure of the specific items on which they instruct their students, however it is basic stuff like word and excel, cutting and pasting, etc.

Because of the cost of the Windows licenses the IT person has suggested to the CEO that they consider an open source operating system and interestingly several of their admin people are already using Libre Office.  The CEO is against switching despite the savings as he feels that "we cannot teach the computer course on a system that the students will not encounter in the workplace".  For example would they understand how to use Excel if they were using a Linux base OS, in other words how easily transferable would the skills be from say Linux to Windows..?

So I am wondering what comments/opinions Forum members might have about this situation?
