''What if the internet could be a kinder place''
Great, an extension to change all the abusive words on the web with inspirful words, a great idea, will certainly try it

Please don't get me wrong. I love LL as much others do. But isn't the feather logo with that yellowish background, little awkward. I thing there is a good scope to improve it. That section needs artwork refinement.

I know that yellow bg can be changed easily, but still it will be cool if LL by default provides a cool new boot screen. A new boot screen which will be simple and lite just as LL .

Hi,
I recently installed LL 3.4 on a donated Dell Inspiron 1545 and unlike all the other LL 3.4 installs I have done on other computers, the wifi does not automatically work.  My issue is exactly the same as the recent post "No wifi on Acer Aspire new install of LL 3.4"

One catch is that the setup is locked thus I cannot get into the network area to check or change things.  It is saying I require an administrative password which the owner cannot recall having.  In the replies on the Acer Aspire post someone made a comment about LL 3.6 "having additional broadcom support"...not sure if that applies to the wifi I might have or not.

I do know that the Wifi was functioning when I placed it with a youth 7 months ago, however because it picked up a virus (when it was running Win 10) when I got it back I simply wiped it with DBAN as I could not get into the computer to assess anything.

I ran the command that Jerry mentioned in the Acer post and this is what I got:

CPU-Dual core Pentium T$#)) (-MCP-) speed/mas~1600/2100 MHz Kernal~4.4.0-70-generic i686 Up~2 min Mem~251.4/2988.8MB HDD~500.1GB(1.4% used) Proc~170 Client~S*ell inxi~2.2.35
(NOTE* - my photo of the screen cut the letters off a bit hence I put a * in for the letter I could not see after Client).

I'm currently going to search around the house and see if I have an ethernet cord.

1) I have tried the F2 and the Fcn-F2 to see if the Wifi toggles on - no go. I also re-booted in case that was required, still no go.
2) I cannot get into Setup per what I wrote above.

My questions:
1) is it possible installing LL 3.6 might give me Wifi?
2) If I cannot get the wifi resolved will a USB wifi adaptor work?  I have googled some and found one that "says" it works with Linux although it seems it may not be as easy as just putting it in and it works..?

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Janet

Hey guys I’m been using mailspring a lot the pass day and so. ( by the time I got to reading the replies of be two... ) I am loving it and was wondering if this could replace Icedove??


God Not dead.

All,

I'm running 2.6 64 bit and have noticed lately when I go into htop I have 55 processes showing "/usr/sbin/apache2 -k -start".  I suspect this is some sort of startup error but am learning linux so don't know where to start the log search or problem resolution.  Anybody able to give me some places to start trying to resolve it (if not an issue please let me know).

Thanks,
Jeff

hey guys my company got an gig coming up and i am having an headache. i trying to remember if i need an mic for my tascam d5 and d60 to work?? beside that i am running openshot and gimp as an open source company what also do i need??

Hello,

I wanted to install Fedora-Workstation-26 in VB to follow the Linux Bible book as it uses Fedora, or Red Hat Enterprise, also Ubuntu Gnome to a lesser degree, plus it is changing.
It left Fedora as the free option.
Also I wanted to see and try the Gnome desktop.
I had difficulty to get this working, after some searches I read articles and tutorials that said things such as -
- it cannot be used in VirtualBox as a machine version has not been released yet.
- you need to d/l the live ISO and burn it to a dvd, then use this to install to VirtualBox to get it to work.
- you need to use it as a Live dvd
- tutorials for older version of Fedora I tried and all failed to install it.

I knew the idea of the live ISO not being possible to install to VirtualBox to be wrong, as with a lot of help from [member=5414]firenice03[/member] on this forum we both installed the Raspberry PI Live iso months early in VB on LL.

Here is how I done it, similar to Pi (Pixel) the changes begin at 3. below.

Install the virtual machine as per the LL manual.
I used settings of 8GB Ram 20GB space.



create the machine, then highlight and click settings.
click position #1 like on image
click position #2 like on image
click the down arrow like position #3 on image and select your downloaded iso location.
click okay

1. Click start to install machine.
2. when install is completed, look to the top of VirtualBox for the "Devices Tab", click and look for "disconnect drive". Dont click it yet.
3&4. Click FedoraWorkstation-26 desktop menu and select to reboot Fedora. Whilst it begins to reboot click Devices then click to untick and disconnect drive/mounted ISO.
5. on reboot it will ask for a few more choices. Complete these and then shut down Fedora virtual machine.
6. the storage area for the fedora machine should look like the image below.



Notes.
1. Not disconnecting the devices meant the Live iso on each starting of the Fedora machine began a LIVE iso session with the option to install... all over again. (similar to Pi)

2. Pressing to disconnect the devices (virtual drive for mounted Live ISO) before clicking to restart Fedora corrupted the Fedora install (the messages were the hard drive is corrupted) , and it crashed every time on boot up, after those install tries.

3. After some weeks of trying, I found this way by searching "how to disconnect live iso in VB" and similar phrases.

Summary
After using the above method I had zero issues to install Fedora-Workstation-26 in VirtualBox on the first try of this method, on Linux Lite.
I have deleted it and reinstalled using the same method a few times to check it worked each time, it did.

It might be useful for anyone installing it, or if they face a similar problem in VirtualBox with another distro.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!
Everytime I download everything and click on "open folder" in Firefox something else happens, instead of the required action a media player is open. I just uploaded this video so you can see for yourselves what I'm talking about. How can I troubleshoot this? What can be causing this? By the way, it's happening now with FF 57 but it also did with the previous version which I guess was 56..???  I just didn't pay much attention to it because I was using Opera but now I'm trying Firefox's new version and so far kind of like it.

Thanks in advance for your answers/opinions/guidance/help

Please excuse these basic questions, however despite learning more from mistakes than my immediate successes I am interested in saving time & effort

I will be getting about 6 of the donated youth computers back some of which are still running a windows OS (mainly Win XP) and some which are already using LL.

First question -
1) I’m thinking on the ones running a Windows OS when possible I should first try LL dual boot I think it’s called to ensure that the computer WILL run LL. If it runs fine from the USB then go ahead and install LL as the only OS. Is my thinking correct or as long as it’s a computer and not a chromebook is the ability to have LL OS a “given”?

As long as these Win OS computers work with LL, I would go ahead and wipe them with DBAN then install LL.

2) with the ones already running LL, does going back to an earlier restore point and simply deleting/trashing any “added files or documents” make sense?  Otherwise I realize it isn’t too much work to wipe with DBAN and reload if best..?

3) Lastly, one computer that was running Win 10 was returned to me as the youth could no longer get into it as apparently it was asking for an admin password, yet was not responding to it. I suspect it had a virus and when I fired it up while I can’t recall exactly the message it indicted that I needed to put in a recovery CD. Unfortunately I forgot about trying to boot into safe mode simply thinking that I’d wipe it and load LL 3.6. After wiping it I went into change the boot order and from the boot order screen it does not have the option of USB so I went into BIOS and I require the original Microsoft (?) password in order to have permission to get into the boot order area. Unfortunately the original donor does not recall what that PW might be and to have them call Microsoft and sort it out I think is too much of a hassle.  So since I can have it boot from a CD I need to make an ISO of LL 3.6

“The Catch” is - I have made a non-Mac bootable Dvd by downloading the ISO to my Mac which can then burn the ISO image to a blank dvd, but I have only one blank dvd available. I want to verify that it is possible to download the PC 32 bit ISO version of LL 3.6 to my Mac from the Linux lite site and then be able to burn the ISO like I have done in the past? (I have been successful with ISOs of Win XP, DBAN, etc.)

although I have migrated to using USBs rather than DVD/CDs if I need to do so I will purchase the smallest package of dvd/CDs if I make a mistake.

Sorry for the length of this post and it’s basic nature,
Janet
