  Scanner causes freeze
Posted by: jfh - 01-28-2018, 06:31 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (2)

I am the ultimate Linux newbie.  I managed to install Linux Lite on my old Toshiba Satellite
A105 and connected my old scanner to it (CanoScan N670U), but found that using Simple Scan caused the computer to freeze.  It had only a total of 1GB memory installed, so I upgraded it to the maximum - 2GB, and installed SANE, but it would scan only part of a page of text when set for "Color".  When I set SANE for "Text" it started scanning, then the computer froze, just as with Simple Scan. The version of Linux Lite on the computer is 3.2 (I run the upgrade utility whenever I use this computer.)
Is the problem that there is still not enough memory for scanning to function on this old laptop, or is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

  Google Bloggers in tha house??
Posted by: CSNLinux - 01-27-2018, 09:29 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

I can't seem to log in on my blogger page from this device. So I've been searching for solutions on the Internet and found BloGTK. The last update is very outdated and the original site is not accessible.
Are there any Bloggers here who allready cracked this nut??

  All seems fine, but then..
Posted by: CSNLinux - 01-27-2018, 02:10 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (4)

I've been running up and down the Networks posts, but couldn't find what I'm looking for.

After starting my device, wired and wireless connection look great.
Wired connection disconnects after a few minutes and when I remove and attach the cable, all works fine for some time.

Wireless looks good until I open my browser or any other connection needing program. It disconnects and I can't connect until I reboot.

I want to solve this. I know I can, but I need some help with it Wink

  New to Linux from Holland
Posted by: CSNLinux - 01-27-2018, 01:31 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (4)

Hi all!

After trying to get the most out of an old Windows Vista Laptop. There was nothing left to do then to start searching for another OS. For this laptop is an oldy, I found that Linux Lite was the best option for this device.
I have totally zero experience with Linux, so here I am on an unknown part of the digital world. 8)

I've been searching for different Howto's, but there are a lot of different views for the same problem.
So, that's why I signed-up here.

That's why I'm here.
To learn a lot share a lot, and maybe call myself a pro, some day Tongue

  New to Linux Lite
Posted by: Kim100 - 01-26-2018, 10:51 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (7)

Hi

For months I have been testing various distros, most are very much the same, I was anti Ubuntu derivatives until I tried Linux Lite. I am really impressed so far, nothing has failed or caused an issue and it feels right. Well done to the developers, a really nice OS.

  Linux Boots from DVD, but will not boot from my Hard Drive
Posted by: RoyTG94 - 01-26-2018, 02:49 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

:-\
Linux Lite OS has helped me rescue my old PC, making it somewhat usable again.  Smile
The good news is that Linux does boot.
Unfortunately, I can't load programs because I need the admin password.
I created an admin user, successfully logged in as an admin user with a password that I chose.
However, the password is not the password needed to install any software.
After shutting down my PC, all the settings, including the printer, is lost when I login again.
Before loading Linux, I completely reformatted my HD that is 450GB.
When rebooting to my HD, I get the message "No boot device found."
I tried created partitions and reformatting within Linux, but I probably only made things worse.
I'm thinking that my Hard Drive may be unrecoverable at this point.
Maybe someone can help me choose the right parameters to fix it or test it to see if it can be salvaged.
I do have an 100GB external drive that does successfully mounts and allows me to save files.
My printer is an Epson ET-2750 that does not have a driver, but the Workforce 1100 driver gets me by.
Any help on getting my netbook to boot from the Hard Drive and allow me to add software would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading this post.

  Backup problem
Posted by: Coastie - 01-25-2018, 09:00 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Deja Dup could not back up the following files.

/home/coastie/.gvfs
/home/coastie/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home

I can open .gvfs as root only and nothing is there. I cannot open the second file.

I had a similar problem before solved by [member=6629]ralphy[/member] http://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/other/.../#msg31049

What are these files? Should delete them or just tell Deja Dup ignore them too?

  screen flashes at native resolution
Posted by: neil - 01-25-2018, 04:11 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (25)

Hi. I'm a noob, so I'm sorry if I appear stupid, but can anyone help me?

At native res. (1080 x 1920, 60Hz) the screen flashes, seemingly at random.
At 1080 x 1920 24 Hz it's okay, but frames are missing, of course.
At 1080 x 1920 other speeds, pic a little blurry and flashes.
Same problem when I tried Ubuntu.
All works fine with XP.

Mobo is Trigem/Advent, chipset: i848/ i865, i865p
Graphics ATI 128MB, DVI out
Screen is Panasonic TV, HDMI in
