Hi,
  During OS bootup, the following text is momentarily displayed:

[    0.432247] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): failure creating [\_SB.PCIO._OSC.CAPB] ,
AE_ALREADY EXISTS (2018003/dsfield-183)
[    0.432277] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.PCIO._OSC,
AE_ALREADY EXISTS (20181003/psparse-516)

[    7.097758] sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

Is this any cause for concern? The OS does not appear to be impaired to any degree, it does everything I wish it to without any apparent problems however I am a complete novice in this regard. If there is anything to be concerned about I would really appreciate any advice that members may be able to offer. Many thanks - Bob Deb.

what is the best way to find correct print driver compatible  for wifi printing. 

Hello,

the Raspberry Pi Official Keyboard and Mouse combo was delivered on its day of release at 7am, and I had hoped to put the first review of it online (here on the forum), but I was away at the time, since returning I have been catching up on things, and was away again, so have only had a chance to test this today.

In the box is - 
the keyboard
a mouse (in its own box)
a cable to connect the keyboard to USB 2 of computer

The keyboard keys are a little bigger, with larger letters on them. It also has the accessibility raised lines on the F and J keys. 
The keyboard is white on the top with red highlights on the following keys , FN key, Page up, Page down, Home, and End, F1 (being F11 highlight), F2 (being F12 highlight), F10 (being scroll lock highlight), Print Screen (being SysRq highlight).
There are no Windows keys, it has a left Raspberry Icon key.
The underneath and sides of the keyboard are red.
On the back of the keyboard are 3 USB ports and 1 micro port.
A Raspberry Pi Logo is etched in to the underneath of the keyboard.
Size wise the keyboard is approximately 28.6cm x 12.2cm, depth is 6mm til 20mm (at back).

The mouse is white on the top with a red scroll wheel, its cable to usb 2 is red and the underneath of the mouse is also red. It has a scroll wheel and 2 mouse buttons.

The micro to USB 2 cable included is red.

In use -
the mouse can be plugged in to a usb 2 port on your computer.
The keyboard can be plugged in to a usb 2 port on your computer.

Or

The mouse can be plugged in to any 1 of the 3 USB 2 ports on the back of the keyboard and the keyboard plugged in to the computer using the included cable from the micro port.
In this configuration you only need 1 USB 2 port on your computer for a mouse and keyboard. 

I have tested this combo set-up on Linux Lite and it works as Plug and Play.
Clicking the Raspberry icon on the keyboard opens the Linux Lite Menu.
All keyboard keys and mouse functions - right button, left button and scrolling work as expected on Linux Lite.
Whilst set up in this configuration I also plugged-in 2 usb sticks to the rear of the keyboard both mounted correctly on Linux Lite.
On these I tested opening various file types, including 58 minute duration mp3's played with vlc.
Unmounting and ejecting the usb sticks on the keyboard also works as usual on Linux Lite. 

Potential Uses -
It will be useful if you need a small sized keyboard.
If you need a keyboard with large letters and keys. 
If you are short of USB ports it combines the keyboard and mouse so they use only 1 port on your computer.
It gives you 2 extra USB 2 ports to use, when using the mouse, or 3 extra when not using the mouse.
It allows you to plug the usb stick in to the keyboard (and computer) whilst still looking at the screen.
It has potential for using mobile. 
It also has potential for using the keyboard mouse combo with a LIVE LL usb plugged in to the back of the keyboard, still allowing space for a USB stick to save across data before installing the new OS.

Reply with any additional ways you found the combo useful with LL.

Suspend is not working on my linux lite 4.4 computer. When i put it to suspend it automatically resumes after few (1-3) seconds. Suspending is working on my other computers with linux lite 4.4 and 3.8 32bit. I think this can be a driver issue but no additional drivers are available.

This can be a software issue but only on one hardware configuration.

Hi, curious why on a fresh install I open FireFox and start typing in "google" and it wants to autocomplete to google.co.nz.

How / why would this make it into a fresh install?  Does a fresh install come with history from some phantom session?

Hi,

I installed 4.4 on a VM yesterday.  Feels fast and very lite  .

One of the first things I did was launch Gimp and saw it was 2.10.
I run other distros based on Ubuntu 18.04 and they have Gimp 2.8... so I don't know where this difference is coming from.

In any case, after applying all updates I am unable to

Hello everyone.

Just wanted to say that I decided to cut the Windows cord permanently about six months ago. I have tried many different distros since then. I liked some of them, liked some of them a lot, and liked others not so much. But, when I finally tried LL, I knew that I had found my new home.

Thanks Jerry and Team for doing such an awesome job!!  ;D

Hello,

New Lite user here ... wondering if anyone knows how to setup keyboard shortcuts to control the sound volume - Up, Down, Mute? 

I am running Lite 3.8 (32-bit) on an older Sony VAIO laptop. VGN FS-790 with a Intel Pentium M CPU-2Ghz, 2GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 6400 video card.

Is there a place in the settings somewhere to set that up ?

Thanks,
Dennis

I am finding time now to learn more about using the OS securely etc. - am I right to assume that Ubuntu wiki sites like  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions are applicable to Linux Lite?

Ps: I presume that with the standard desktop LL 4.4 I am not using servers?

Thanks.

The other day, I backed-up data on my Dell Latitude D630 (an LL3.8 setup), transferring files of various sizes from the laptop's internal drive to an external drive (both SSDs: 1TB Samsung 850 Evo). While doing this, I was surprised to see transfer speeds apparently exceeding the theoretical limit of 35MB/s for USB 2.0 connectivity, according to the onscreen File Operation Progress notification - see link at https://imgur.com/a/mn8QvLs

Several times, peak transfer rates hit around 60 to 70 MB/s, though most of the time hovered between 25 to 35 MB/s. I was unable to find any references on the web regarding overshoot in USB 2.0 connectivity speeds.
