I have no clue what happened everything was working perfectly before, I am using a Logitech G810. If I enter this command in the terminal "setxkbmap -option keypad:pointerkeys" and then I hold shift and press Numlock it works but I don't want to do that every time. Is there anyone who have a solution please? Thank you.

Hi.

See other Linux distros the default behaviour when mouse pointer hover over window title and user roll the mouse wheel up, is that the current window rolls up (I beleive it is also called windows shading). And vice verca for mouse wheel down.

I can't find the apropriate settings for making Linux Lite behaving that same way.


Thanks in advance

Linux Lite loaded without errors. Installing updates was successful.

Message requested a reboot. Now it is stuck at the yellow feather screen for 10 hours.
I have 500MB internal drive. Should I wait for the update to process? Any Suggestions?

Christmas Eve: I went to turn on laptop (1) - see signature - then selected LL from the grubscreen.

Everything booted as usual, and left the laptop downloading TV programmes using get_iplayer. When I returned to the laptop later to check on things, I got the shock of my life ...

- the LL manual icon on the display was changed into a red triangle, with "danger" written on it
- my other Desktop icons were white-ed out, and had a red cross in the middle of all of them.
- icons on the bottom right panel (WiFi, clock, volume control, etc) were missing and when I moved the mouse around
  a few more disappeared
- touchpad or mouse clicks produced no response to either the menu button or any other Desktop icons

Therefore, I had to resort to the power-off button to shutdown. Then the following happened the next day ...

Christmas Day: returned to laptop (1), power on, and all I got was a black screen with a blinking short white line, near the top left hand corner of the display. >

The only thing that has changed with our home network, over the last few days, is that my elder son & girlfriend are staying with us over the Christmas period and have brought their laptops with them, and of course they are running off our router for the internet connection. They don't have Linux - they both have Windows 10.  Is it possible that they have inadvertently introduced something malicious to our home network, particularly if they haven't taken the security measure of having dual account set-ups on Windows 10, i.e. an admin a/c and a daily user a/c? I'm suspicious ...

From TLP website:

TLP brings you the benefits of advanced power management for Linux without the need to understand every technical detail. TLP comes with a default configuration already optimized for battery life, so you may just install and forget it. Nevertheless TLP is highly customizable to fulfil your specific requirements.

Hello everybody!
I am willing to attempt an upgrade BIOS from 32 to 64 bits on my laptop, question is, is it worth it?
Recently I've noticed some instability in linux lite (is starting to crash often) using youtube, vlc etc.
My laptop is ancient, however the CPU is 64bits capable (so I was told) but is running on 32 bits.
I want to change it to 64 bits an make a clean install of the latest linuxlite 64 bits version using USB boot.
Also want to upgrade from 1gb ram to 4 gb ram.
This laptop is used for watching movies on vlc, surf the web, and play games using Lakka.

Is it worth doing this?
I like this laptop because it's built like a brick so I can carry it to work and so.
Here are the main specs of my system:

Model: Toshiba Satellite L40-15G

Reference: PSL48E-01T00GPT

Technology/Processor: Mobile Technology Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core 2310, (1.46 GHz), 533 Mhz Front Side Bus, 1 MB level 2 cache, Intel® GL960 chipset

Monitor: 15.4" WXGA panoramic TFT

Internal Video Mode: 16.7 million colours, resolution 1280x800

Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. 80 GB, SATA (5400rpm), Enhanced IDE

Memory: 512+512 MB DDR2 (667Mhz) RAM, expandable to 3072 MB/4096 MB

Graphics: Adapter Intel® GMA X3100 (up to 256MB shared)

Thanks for any opinions/help on this.
