Hi everyone. I need help choosing my USB wireless adapter when connecting to WiFi. When creating a new connection I only get the drop down option for the internal card but would like to connect through the external.
Below my configuration.

Bonjour tout le monde / Hello everyone 

Thanks again to Jerry for the greetings.

I've been following this forum for a little while now. I bought an old 14" Toshiba Satellite laptop, with 1.5 Gb RAM from the Windows Vista era, with a dysfunctional Windows 7 on it, for $30CAD, in view of installing LL on it.  8)

I've initially installed LL in September x2 but updates installation failed.... put it aside. I gave it a second go today, x2 failed installations (combined with updates), because hard drive was heating up too much and probably needed replacing, according to install assistant.  :o

I decided to cool this laptop down fast by placing it on the cold ceramic floor for 2 hours and see if I could safe myself a hard drive purchase.

I did the installation this time, opting for installing updates separately.  : So far so good !!

I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 on my initial 10 y.-o. desktop when its hard drive died last year, and planning on installing LMDE on another desktop I just acquired for this purpose (this one has Ubuntu 16 on it, installed by the person who sold it to me).

I'm francophone from Québec. If I can be of some help in French, at explaining or translating, probably better than automated translators,  I'll be pleased to do so. Keeping in mind that I'm a Linux newbie.  :

See you on the forums.
Helena from Québec 

For anyone who has a newer computer as I do and has UEFI or EFI as the case may be, you might find this link useful. It will not be long where bios will be replaced and EFI will be the standard.

just wanted to do a quick pop-in and say hello! im happy to have joined the forums! long time user of ubuntu and linux mint, but a complete convert since LL4.0.

hi all!  8)

Hi Guys,
Yup, just tried to install gscan2pdf from command line & ...er I've forgotten my system password. I've rummaged thoroughly in my password book & can't find it anywhere. How scr^*ed am I ? 

I've gone as far as I will go with this for now. The links below lead to the last tutorial, and the download. From now on there will just be additions and improvements to the scripts and interface which you can look for on my website. I can finally work on some more complex functions that the API offers like exchange rates, trend lines, algorithms, etc. As long as the API remains free and open I will continue to add functionality to the LL interface and scripts. If you are new to this please read through all the tutorials, and if you choose to download the interface and scripts please read the Read_Me_Help file thoroughly, and please direct any other questions to my email or messages rather than the forum.

The message asks me to post a log of the results so I guess someone might have a solution? And yes I am connected to the internet...

So I cant seem to do updates.. anybody??

Hello,


I am trying to boot LL 4.2 using USB key on a Dell Dimension C521 running Windows Vista (this old PC is owned by a family's member).


But I got a message  telling me to specify "noapic" for boot.


There is no option in setup to do that.


I had a look on files on USB key but didn't find any "config" file to do that.


I would appreciate if anyone know a way to specify this option at boot time.


Many thanks in advance.

I like the fact that a simple .html interface can be easily created and edited with the onboard software in Linux Lite. I also like the integration of thunar and Firefox in the OS that the Linux Lite team decided on. Financial data is so diverse, with so many different query functions that any GUI must be able to be easily edited when additions or changes are made to the data retrieving scripts. This video demonstrates some of this convenience clearly. I have decided to keep this interface and when the tutorial is done I will post a download link that will include the graphics, the .html interface, the BASH scripts, a few extra buttons, the LL banner, and also include a version of the full script with all the current functions that can be loaded from the interface or the terminal. As time goes on I will be adding and making available more complex plots for gnuplot as well. It took a while to get here, but it was fun.
