  Can't change resolution (currently 640x480)
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 12-13-2017, 02:58 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

I looked at a similar post and almost exactly like that post there are no other choices for screen resolution except in this case: 640-480

I ran xrandr in terminal and this is what I got:

administrator@administrator-Aspire-5000:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480 default connected 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm
640x480 73.00* administrator@administrator-Aspire-5000:~$

I also checked for drivers and the only thing that came up was:

Unknown: Unknown
This device is using an alternative driver.
O Using Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs from ad64-microcode (proprietary)
O Do not use this device.

I tried changing it to the first choice, restarting then going to display - still no choice for resolution change and then I went back and reverted to "Do not use this device" and still exactly the same, no choice for resolution.

Not sure what I should do now.  It is liveable, however all the windows I open are too large for the laptop screen so a bit of a pain to move it around to close or view.

  I want to remove thumbnails from the desktop
Posted by: roweef - 12-12-2017, 11:05 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

Removing them from Thunar is simple.  I can also delete the cache (s) found in my home directory - but that doesn't stick.

How can I delete / prevent them permanently from the desktop?    thanks,  -E

  Before Linux Lite
Posted by: bermudalite - 12-12-2017, 04:56 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (23)

Hi Jerry,
If you feel like sharing...I'm curious as to what distro(s) was your preferred daily driver prior to creating Linux Lite.

Thx

  Won't be around a lot,,,,,,,,
Posted by: smhardesty - 12-11-2017, 07:26 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (2)

I thought I'd let you guys know that I won't be around very much for a while. Not that I'm super active on here, but I normally at least login once a day to read the latest posts. I've been given ownership and control of a model car forum, which is a hobby of mine. To cut through all the small talk and get to the point, I decided to take the forum over to offer model builders another place to visit that is friendly and helpful. A couple of the "big name" forums seem to be cluttered with bickering and name calling, so a lot of guys left those big forums and found small, friendly places to spend their online time. That's a whole lot like this forum. You just don't read anything on here that's derogatory towards any person. That's the kind of environment I'm going to provide for members of my new forum. It's actually a very old forum, but has been nearly inactive for the past couple years.

Anyway, enough about all that. I just wanted to say I won't be real active here for a while until I can get that forum up and running smoothly. If any of you guys happen to be model car builders, or think you might like to get into the hobby, feel free to check my forum out. Just remember that I haven't even started to clean things up and get it running smoothly. Things will change a bit over the next few weeks. Thanks!

  Trying to update Clamav
Posted by: colin - 12-11-2017, 02:35 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

Hi all
I'm running Linux Lite 3.6 and i decided to install Clamav as shown in the manual. But when i tried to update clamav i got this: 

Code:
colin@Linux-Lite4me:~$ sudo freshclam
[sudo] password for colin:
ClamAV update process started at Mon Dec 11 14:26:23 2017
main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)
daily.cld is up to date (version: 24119, sigs: 1801440, f-level: 63, builder: neo)
bytecode.cld is up to date (version: 319, sigs: 75, f-level: 63, builder: neo)
colin@Linux-Lite4me:~$

When i tried to run clamav i got a very long list similar to the following:

Code:
LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: asked for 4077 bytes @ offset 19, got 0
LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: asked for 4077 bytes @ offset 19, got 0

LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: asked for 4094 bytes @ offset 2, got 0

Is this normal?

  ACPI error after updating to the new 4.14 Kernel
Posted by: T1125P - 12-10-2017, 09:50 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (5)

Hi all, I have encountered this error now when my E6330 is booting up. It was so fast I almost missed it. ACPI error. I have found a way to turn it off by editing the grub file. By doing do I disabled my laptop touch pad and mouse functions. So I had to use an external mouse to undo what I did. It's not affecting the way the laptop boots or functions just wondering if there is a way to remove that error notice.

Thanks

  ethernet cable attached but no internet on Acer Aspire 5000
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 12-10-2017, 04:18 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (15)

I quickly checked LL 3.4 on an older Acer Aspire 5000 that was running XP. BUT I forgot to test the ethernet cable before I decided to install LL 3.4  Sad

So unlike the other two computers that didn't connect to the WiFi, but did so via ethernet cable with me doing nothing this computer isn't connecting via the ethernet cable.

I'm unsure if I simply need to go in and add a network (I am a real newbie).  I am figuring it may be a driver issue, but have no way to get the driver.

I am wondering what to do?

My thoughts were:
1) use the ethernet cable (which itself does work) and hook it to another computer then look at all the network info (not sure exactly what I need, but maybe ip address..?) and then hook it to the non-connecting computer and put in all the same settings so as to hopefully get it connected to do all the updates (which with the other computers resolved the WiFi problem).

2) is there a way I can download the driver or update or kernel needed on another computer for this one?

Thanks,
Janet
