Sometimes after suspending my LL 3.8 32bit laptop wifi get's grayed out to on state. I can't connect to wifi because there is no wifi networks. After turning wifi off and on by a hardware switch it says "device not ready" I have tried to

1. Suspend again
   
2. Hibernate
   
3. turn wifi off and on with software
   

Hi, when I try to run the Install Updates program, I get this message:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

This has never happened before. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi everyone, I don't think this has ever been asked before. I am helping a friend who keeps connecting to the wrong wi-fi network (the unsecured neighbour's) So, I'd like to know if it is possible to force the network manager to connect to one wi-fi network only and also hide all the wi-fi list except the one that it should be connected to?
Any step by step would be appreciated.

Ok here is  I need some info how to fix it.
Just to day I have try to do sudo -I    at the terminal (as always do )  but I got this.
sudo -I
sudo :unable to resolve host  ??? ?? Connections time out
sudo password      (I type the pass and all ok.)
I have noticed that if I am not connected to internet .IF I am connected I do not get the above .
Never had that problem.
And not getting newer kernel when I do update.It stay the same 4.4.0.128
I have other pc with the same ver  LL 3.8 32 bit and got kernel 4.4.0.161 
can any one give me some info  where to look OR what command I be able to use from terminal ti fix all the above?
NOT a big deal , but I like to see work the way was some days ago ..
Thanks

Nothing will keep rolling without money. Time is money. Ability is money. Creators of solid Linux distributions offer a lot of their time, as well as the exclusive technical skill, to make and maintain what they share ideally for free. Eventually, even if work upon the project could be considered free of charge, subsidiary costs come into play, such as even hosting and maintaining a website. This is when the case of donations come into place.

Nonetheless, no man can do a world alone. Solitary operating system could be a technological wonder, but if nobody uses it and effectively, if there are no valid contents created for it, it is as good as a souvenir.

In the perfect world, balance is critical. We need capable operating systems that smoothly run worthy applications. But it takes time and ability to make and maintain a good piece of software as much as it does in terms of the operating system. Which brings us to the question of limited resources to be possibly spent either on donating to the 'Core', by which I mean the operating system - or the 'Infrastructure', by which I mean all the applications meant for users, in order to be able to make use of the operating system.

If you were to decide where to make the money go, which one would you choose, the 'Core' or the 'Infrastructure'?

I've just installed LL3.8 (32-bit) on a 12-year-old laptop (Packard-Bell MX37 model AJ300), given to me recently.
However, I'm able to hear sound (e.g. playing a music DVD using VLC media player) only with headphones plugged in; when the headphones are unplugged there isn't any sound coming out of the laptop's inbuilt speakers.

Clicking on the volume icon in panel to show the Output Devices (within Sound Settings), it shows "Speakers (unavailable)" but "Headphones (plugged-in)".

Using terminal:

Posted a thread earlier (at least I think I did) but now it's gone..?  Hope I didn't post it in the wrong place..?

Just wondering if I will be able to use a graphics tablet and pen with LL?  Will any USB type work or is there a brand that is Linux friendly?

Hi

I have searched the site regarding this problem but the posts concerned involve dual boot with windows and older releases of Lite.

With the latest build, fresh install, nothing complicated at all. On the very first boot and since I have had the following error messages [Only installed a few hours ago]

error: no suitable video mode found
error: no video mode activated
error: no video mode activated
error: diskfilter writes are not supported

Press any key to continue

This seems to be a bug in Grub that goes back a long way, is there a simple fix?

Other than these error messages the system runs very well on a very low spec PC.

im using LL4.4. im unable to upgrade my system to LL4.6. the LL Install Updates is telling that im not connected to internet. but there is no issue in my connection. i tried upgrading through terminal but its not working. changed the linux sources. nothing worked. please help me in upgrading to the latest version of LL.

I'm on LL 4.2 and the newest firefox version in the repository is at 66.  I need at least version 67 to install a particular firefox add-on.

I downloaded the update for 69, but was cautioned I shouldn't use the update file and have to use the update from the repository.

Is there anyway to update firefox to a version greater than 66 with LL 4.2?
