Is there any need to close private files when going online? Just how secure is the LL installed firewall?

Brave Browser

I don't expect Brave to become preinstalled with Linux Lite. But I would like to see it considered as a Default Browser option.

I have been using it on my Linux Lite laptop and mobile devices for the past several weeks in lieu of Chrome. I like how fast it is, the installed adblocker, the fact that it is based on Chromium, and that it was started by the co-founder of Mozilla, the maker of Firefox. I have been a Chrome user, but the resource usage with Brave Browser running is much lower. Brave Browser on my mobile phone performs better than the default browsers there. The only downside I see with Brave so far is that, for now, it does not synchronize bookmarks from my laptop to my mobile device.

Linux Lite 3.8 - No Sound - Speakers work when the Headphones port is selected, but linux then switches back randomly to the Line Out Port (both show as unplugged).

I have stopped the Pulseaudio daemon.

What can I do to stop linux from switching back the Line Out port?
Or, what can I do to make the sound work without "creative solutions"?

Thank you.

PS - I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FS315M, see specs below

The newest Whiskermenu 2.3.0 has a great new feature that allows you to add additional buttons to the bottom (See screenshot). I have been testing it.

Will keep you posted of any significant developments.

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS may now offer 10 years of support

It's just been reported in several places (including Distrowatch) that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS may now offer 10 years of support. What does this mean for the 4x series of Linux Lite, or, for that matter, Linux Mint 19, and quite a few others based upon this version of Ubuntu? Sorry if I am out of place to ask this here.
--Later---
According to a forum, the consensus is that it won't mean anything, really, after all...Just for home servers, possibly, or for paid long-term support. SO I guess this was a bit misleading. MY APOLOGIES.

I thought it was a problem wih=th previous laptop but the new one has the same. It doesnt do it all the time. Anyone any idea were to look for an answer to the problem?

Hi again. I have an old webcam which works great while using guvcview.
I have installed the Ivideon server and while trying to add the camera it doesn't find it.
I have read that I need to chown /dev/video0 to the same user:group as the one running Ivideon server.

lsusb gives me:
Bus 002 Device 082: ID 041e:403c Creative Technology, Ltd Webcam Live! Ultra

How do I accomplish this?
Gracias!

I am a new user of Linux Lite [4.0]. I used it around 4 months. My cpu is AMD A4. Suddenly its not login and stuck in initramfs after displaying below msg.

Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls/dev)
ALERT! UUID=a081b06c-3343-4e6e-9e89-b500ff509502 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu1:1.27.2-2ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)

Please reply.Thanks in advance.

Where in the file system is the Network Controller driver stored?

Where, in the LL3 file system, is the driver for the Network Controller stored?
Also, what kind of name is it likely to be called?

Using terminal, I get this output when identifying the WiFi card:

Code:
mike@D630:~$ sudo lspci | grep -i network
[sudo] password for mike: 
0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

Many thanks for any help with this. I never seem to get to grips with the linux file system - one rainy day I'll sit down and learn by heart the entire file system map :-[ (did I really say that!)

Cheers
Mike
