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 4077 bytes @ offset 19, got 0 LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: asked for 4094 bytes @ offset 2, got 0 LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: asked for 4094 bytes @ offset 2, got 0

Is this normal?

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

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

looking for a secondary browser, i found one called Waterfox. the devloper claims to have stripped down FireFox, in escence making it a lite version of FF.

has anyone used or have an opinion of the Waterfox browser? it does run some older extensions that FF57 won't. i've been using it for about a week and like it.

let me know your thoughts and or concerns...........

So I am coming back to linux after many many years away. I am trying to use LL to make my junky laptop usable. After booting from a usb drive I love it. The install completed and promted me to restart, so I did. However, after booting up it just takes me back into the live user and doesn't ask for my password. I have tried installing 3 times and still nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you.

In looking through the “wallpapers” posting area I have seen some very nice ones that I would like to have/use. Have the contributors to this section posted them for access somewhere? If so and downloading is permitted how do I go about doing so?

Thanks,
Janet

I have my laptop connected via hdmi to my samsung wide screen TV. If I turn my TV off it defaults back to my laptop screen. Is there a setting somewhere that I can have it do nothing if I turn it off?
