Hi all,
Just to check around and inform people also.I had some wireless problems on Linux Lite 3.8 on one of my PCs for some time.Nothing I couln't manage of work around since the main problem was when streaming videos over the local network.The playback, distorted every few seconds (big gray compression blocks) and cut sometimes. For network streaming, default Mediaplayer was worse, VLC better and Parole Media Player was best "speed wise" but had weird 1-2 colors borders around video, so, uninstalled.
When the files were copied and played locally, everything was fine.

The PC is has an i5 CPU/GPU and the culprit is Wireless PCIe card called the Ralink RT3090
Installing the Windows 7 x64 drivers with ndiswrapper made the "cutting" stopped and distortion happened less frequently but was still a pain.
Note : I originally used the ndis-gtk GUI but finally had to do driver install in terminal otherwise PC could not connect to WiFi network, i.e. tried and timed out after 20/30 seconds.

But then... I decided to install 4.4, for other reasons.
With the default installation, to my surprise, the network playback never cut and distortion happens very rarely now, to the point of saying it could be my network lagging.

In the final scenario, I ended up using VLC because Default MediaPlayer had some 3-4 seconds delay when start a video in network playback.

So 4.4 it is. It could just be because of the different Kernel version but... has anyone else had a better wireless experience in 4.x?

I'm using LL 2.4 on this old computer and I've just spent a couple of hours typing some word documents in Libre Office, saving each doc to a folder I created on my desktop. I continued typing on a fresh page and suddenly all the text of my previous pages disappeared. I did not delete anything and did not consciously hit any "weird" keys. I seem to have lost one saved doc and all but one line of the doc I'm currently working on.

I don't have a trash icon on my desktop and can't even find the folder to check it. Does anyone have an idea what I might have done wrong?

Thanks

Hello All,

Thank you for putting together an excellent linux distribution.

I switched from Windows 10 to linux lite.  I switched my desktop  and two laptops over to LL. Even with my main Desktop machine Win10 was kind of slow and bloaty. Win10 would also reboot my machine. Now on all machines everything is snappy fast. It's a beautiful looking distro and I love the feather,kind of sums up what LL is about.

I really became motivated to change to linux when I went to my town dump and picked up a couple of laptops people were throwing away. My conclusion was that people were throwing
good hardware away because it ran slow on windows. What a waste.

I hope to contribute to the community when I get a little bit more experience with linux.  I am a fairly competent programmer (C, python) so I hope I can help out.

Thanks again,
Joe McCarron, New Hampshire, USA

Sorry, I'm new to Linux Lite (and not an experienced Linux user anyway), so my question may be trivial.
I installed the system (4.4) and initially had no problems installing software. Today, however, I tried to add some more soft, and I got the following reaction:
dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Both Lie Software and system Install/Remove Software yielded the same result.

So what should I do? Run this command in the terminal window? Should I register as root for this purpose (if yes, how to do it?)

what does anyone think about this and does it affect "Linux Lite" ?.

this video link  talks about it .

Hello,

Once I got Lite up and running, I moved the tool bar to the top and then installed Cairo-Dock. However, it's framed by a very large black box. When a dialog box opened asking if I wanted to enable compositing, I clicked on the green check, but then the dock went away. I checked the Compiz icon, but compositing is turned on. It's also turned on in the Cairo-Dock control panel. I'm using an old nVidia 5200 video card. Does that card not have enough horsepower to composite

thanks
iosman

I have never thusfar been using WINE, do not know how it looks like, how does it set up. When it comes though to my GPS device, it relies on 'MyDriveConnect' software from TomTom. I would say that it is pretty unfortunate, but as far as I am concerned, no GPS producer ever supports Linux, unless Linux reaches some more significant market share of the home PC users. For now, I am employing an access to an old 32-bit Windows 7 PC for the sake of GPS update, albeit first, it would be better if I got self sufficient with the Linux and what it does offer, second thing, I am afraid this Windows 7 PC may get 'decomissioned' eventually. Like, if I wanted to install Linux on it, I would basically shoot my foot, when it comes to Windows only software, such as the mentioned 'MyDriveConnect'.

It came to my knowledge I have two ways to solve the issue. First is to set up a Virtual Box with GNOME tools and some Windows image, which is perhaps a more complicated procedure, but is confirmed to work. Second, is to use WINE, which - on the other hand - is unconfirmed to solve the problem with 'MyDriveConnect' on Linux.

Does anyone have any experience in getting WINE to run quirky apps?
