Imagine me reminding people? I'm the person who always forgets to do it. If you upgraded, or installed, LL4.2 don't forget to change your profile settings.

Hello,

this arrived on Monday (it is Wednesday here) it is sold unbranded, its title on eBay was 3000mW Wireless USB network card, it costs £7.63 and Free postage.
This arrives in a box, it is not the outer box for the adapter, on the reverse of the box the vendor simply put a S shaped line through the specs.The inner shell of the box fits the supplied items correctly.
Contained in the box is the wifi adapter, x2 of 5dBi antennas, the connection cable from the box to the USB port, it also contains the pink version of the Beini mini disc (based on Tiny Core Linux it says), and the how to crack your poor neighbour's wifi photo tutorial, pink version, not that we would do this , just stating the boxes contents.

The adapter is black a sort of towards graphite shade, it is not high gloss but neither is it matt finish, on the adapter it says High Power and the N wifi logo. Its activity LED is blue coloured.
It is made in PRC (mainland China).
It uses the 3070 chipset and is plug and play in LL.
Tested as usual using LinSSID.

This adapter found 56 AP's using the 5 dBi antennas it came with. (it uses 2 antennas)
Surprisingly it found Anna's Hotspot, as this was only previously seen using the Alfa AWUS036h with a Yagi (directional) antenna, and also with the Linfox adapter using a 58dBi cannon (directional) antenna.
It also found the desktop of a "coven", hopefully they won't Hex me (see what I did there )
It also found x4 of public access free wifi hotspots, 2 of these I had found before, 2 are newly found ones.

Other newly found ones were (in order of discovery) -
Gemmas Hot-spot
mywifi - eg; my documents, mypictures, mywifi , I am guessing it is a windows machine, or pretending to be one.
It also found the first WEP in these recent tests.
A new connected cam.
It found 3 new car items -
a dv camera
the second Audi found, this time its MMI system.
https://www.carwow.co.uk/guides/glossary...i-mmi-0557

an Auto Vox camera D6 Pro
http://www.auto-vox.com/index.php/Produc...id/29.html

It does monitor mode -




I test 1 more wifi adapter for Linux, and 1 more GPS dongle, when/if they arrive. This recent series of tests I am doing will be finished then.
I hope it was interesting for someone, and helped you know of some different wifi hardware that does work on LL, and doesn't work on LL.

I installed the very beautiful Linix Lite 4.0 a few days ago, and I'm curious about this issue:

on Install Updates I get the updates list ok and click Install. After a short while I get:

I previously did get a similar message at two Update attempts failed during the Install, but after 10 minutes I tried again and it went perfectly.

So today I tried again and it Updated ok.  I wonder what the problem is.

Release Announcement

Linux Lite 4.2 Final is now available for download and installation.

This release has a number of minor changes. Think of it as 'refinement' and not a 'major upgrade'. There are some new wallpapers thanks to [member=5059]whateverthing[/member] and some minor tweaks here and there.







Lite Software - Redshift

Redshift has been added to Lite Software. Redshift adjusts the color temperature according to the position of the sun. A different color temperature is set during night and daytime. During twilight and early morning, the color temperature transitions smoothly from night to daytime temperature to allow your eyes to slowly adapt. At night the color temperature should be set to match the lamps in your room. This is typically a low temperature at around 3000K-4000K (default is 3700K). During the day, the color temperature should match the light from outside, typically around 5500K-6500K (default is 5500K). The light has a higher temperature on an overcast day.







Lite Welcome

Minor changes.

We've added back the ability to install Linux Lite straight from the live boot menu.

Hello,

here is the link to the Free download page for (all) volumes 1-12 of the Python Special Editions by Full Circle magazine.

https://fullcirclemagazine.org/python-special-editions/

I'm trying to install LL 3.8. Have downloaded the iso file plus Unetbootin, Rufus and Etcher but none of the burning software will work.
The iso file is on a 8gb usb stick, formatted to Fat 32 and is in the drive.

I keep getting the error message :

"No burners are currently availablePossibly the disc(s) are in use, and cannot get accessed.

Please unmount and restart the application.

If no disc is in the drive, check that you have read and write access to the drive with the current user.
From that point on I'm lost!  Help!

I am on your beta version now and I would like to make a suggestion to check out the Shades of Grey theme for this system. It is a set of about eight themes or you can just do one or two and they work in every way perfectly with linux lite beta. Like I said I am pretty new and i have searched for days trying to get a theme that seemed to work with everything and also look the best and I think if you all would check these out maybe something might get worked out. From my experience there is not many people wanting bright white themes now days. By the way I love the Beta so I cant wait for the next release. Have a good one

Good night, itś my first post here,
great distro , very good work!!!!

but I have some doubts

1 - How to remove password requests?
I just need a password to enter my pc

2 - how to leave the numlock on from the beginning?

3 - How to change the color of windows?

For now, just thank you !!!!!!!!

OK, I decided to post this because couldn't find any mention about it elsewhere in the forums.


Does anybody have sound-stuttering problems when editing in Openshot?


I was about to create a video consisting of a sound track and ten or eleven photos.
As soon as I try to preview it, the sound starts stuttering -BADLY-, if I go and run htop I notice that the CPU usage is around 204% (??), cheech!, I even have problem to close the application.


The CPU-hogging issue occurs only when there is a soundtrack., it doesn't occur with photos only.


Oh, and the visual appearance of the software GUI is totally messed-up. I blamed it on the version that installs from LiteSoftware, so I went directly to the Openshot web, and downloaded both the Appimage (same issues) and also installed from the PPA (same issues).
I tried to install an older version (2.2.x) and -although the GUI looks fine-, the suttering problem is still there.


I'm desperate, as none of the alternative software I could find fills my expectations. I'm this far from going back and reinstall a backup image that I have of my old LL 3.8 installation (oh, those happy times!).


All the pertinent current info can be seen on my profile (left-hand side of your screen).


Thank you in advance.

Hello

Trying to install software via synaptic is quite old style and not new user friendly. I had to install software "app".

Can this new user friendly software app be provided by default?
