Does anyone know how to maximize the gimp 2.10 window? I can minimize it, it does go full screen when i use F11, but the maximize button doesnt work at all. Not sure if thats a bug in Gimp, ubuntu 18.04 or LL 4.0 or my laptop

Good evening!

For the last couple of days I've been trying to try and install LL 4.0 but the live usb crashes with the attached message. I can see the loaded screen and select to Load LL4.0 or check the media. After I click to load LL4.0, the message appears.

It may have to do with the usb stick I'm using, because i've tried to create the live usb both from Win10 and LL3.8 (with Etcher, Rufus, unetbootin and usb-creator) and I get the same error each time.

I'm just asking to see if it's something else maybe...

I just set up my home LL server.  wow, that was easy!  Everything went much smoother then expected all the way up until I try to actually access my external drive.

As Root I am able to access and edit the drive, but as a standard user I only see them as grayed out options and don't have create options.

I've logged in as Root, and have tried to change the permissions, but just errors out when I try and set them to a user or read and write.

I've tried doing this with the partitions both mounted and unmounted, and get the same result.

My goal is to have 4 network shares that can be accessed by my home users

Hi guys!
I wonder if anyone could help me get my USB modem back to functioning, I'd used it on this same system a year ago but today when I plugged it back in nothing worked any more.
The connection that was still saved for it didn't produce results.
By calling my internet provider I've learnt that this modem somehow keeps switching itself into 1x (CDMA) mode, while it should be in EVDO mode.
Of course, they've got this software for Windows, "Mobile Partner", it's even hard-written into the modem itself, one can run the connection from there. Maybe, if I could extract that software from this modem and run in on Linux through Wine it would help...


With my limited Linux knowledge and Googling, I've figured that the device is:


Bus 001 Device 016: ID 12d1:140c Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E180v


(ttyUSB0 - I guess, and so guesses wvdial that I've installed - it disappears from /dev/ directory when I unplug it. But there are also ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 which disappear-reappear together with ttyUSB0, it's like they're identical twins)

tried to do this

no result, except that ttyUSB0 file turns from 'character device' into a 'plain text file' ))))...


so I've installed wvdial but not much difference with clicking on the connection in the list as usual
guess I'll leave its log here just in case:

It even connected and let me browsed a page a couple of times today (internet operator detected it too), but a few seconds later the internet was gone again as I guess the modem switched into that wrong mode again (1x).


I'm gonna lose lotsa weight trying to investigate this on my own, I've already skipped dinner  ;D ;D ;D

I am using chromium webbrowser. I added --password-store=basic to the command for the launcher. This to not get the keyring password request everytime i open chromium. This works great.


When i use a link in thunderbird  and chromium is closed i still get the keyring password request. When i have cromium open and i use a link in email the keyring password request doesnt popup. What needs to be changed to not get the keyring popup when i open a link in thunderbird with chromium closed?

I have a Team Viewer Version 11 Business License and use it sparingly to support new Linux Lite users.  Linux Lite 4.0 will not install properly or run at all.  My guess is; it maybe the kernel version.
Other than that I like LL 4 so far and hope this can be overcome without having to sign up for "Pay Forever Team Viewer Version 13" as my Version 11 already paid in full and "supposed to be a forever license"

Any help MUCH APPRECIATED ...
Thanks on advance,Doug

In the past, I was able to click on "Lite Upgrade" to install the most recent version. When I try that now (with version 3.8), the message I get says, "you are already running the latest release." Will I eventually be able to upgrade to 4.0 using this method?

Thanks in advance for all replies. 

I'm not sure if the following issue would be considered a bug, or simply non-intuitive behavior of LL. Either way, if users in a multi-user setup are not aware of this, they may think they cannot mount their USB drives.

Here is the issue, which is consistently replicable for me under LL 3.8 and 4.0. I'll describe it from a colloquial first-person perspective, which is easier for me that saying "user 1" and "user 2".

1. The LL is set up to have me as main (admin) user, and two additional non-admin users for my family members.

2. The machine is booted up and my family member logs in under his account. I am not logged in at this point.

3. Then he says I can use it, so we switch users via the GUI "switch user" in the menu. He is not formally logged out at this point - he may want to come back to it soon. I'm just logging into my account, so I see my background, my icons, etc etc.

4. I insert my USB drive to get some files from it. Although the USB drive can be seen on my desktop, it is grayed out and it doesn't auto-mount. If I try to open it, I can't. A dialog box comes up saying something about "Failed to mount" and that some operation is already pending. Whatever I do, I can't seem to auto-mount the USB drive, until.....

5. I switch users via the GUI back to his account (I'm not formally logged out at this point). i.e. I simply have him go back into his account so that we can see his background, icons, etc etc. It turns out that the USB drive is seeking authentication to auto-mount there, instead of in my area. But I can only see this process when we switch back to his account, not mine. In other words, if you want to auto-mount a USB drive but you're not the first person to log in since the computer was started up, you won't auto-mount it that session.

SO TO SUM UP: I don't know if this is a bug or the expected behavior of Linux, but it seems odd that it won't let a currently-logged-in user (especially a logged-in admin user) auto-mount a USB drive if another user has logged in before them.

Is there an easy work-around for this issue? If not, it's OK, but users should be aware of it if they're on a multi-user system and wish to have a USB drive auto-mount.

Since installing LL4.0, I have been receiving a notification about a Firmware Bug, that always appears during booting, just before the grey screen appears.

The notification says:

Is this anything to be worried about?
How do I update the microcode to version 0x22 or later, or should I just ignore this notification?
Many thanks for any feedback on this - much appreciated.

After my successful migration to LL 4.0, I started converting a friend. It turned out he needs extra keyboard layouts besides the default "us" one. What would be the recommended (without breaking anything) way to achieve this?
