  Connected to WIFI but browser won't load any pages.
Posted by: Zapmaster - 10-17-2017, 05:04 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (18)

Hi guys. So I have a wifi USB adapter on a desktop running Linux Lite 3.6. It's drivers are installed correctly and I can find and log into our WiFi network. But once I am in, the Internet will only work for about 2 seconds (browser will load a website for about 2 seconds and then it will stop and say no Internet). But the wifi signal shows as being strong and the connection stays connected the whole time. Despite that Internet appears to only work immediately after I disconnect and reconnect (for about 2 seconds after reconecting).

The USB adapter is Linksys N300 (which uses Broadcom bcm 43235). I installed it's Windows XP drivers via ndiswrapper, it's the same driver I used on Linux MX before and it worked fine for it. So I don't think it's a driver issue, but could be wrong of course. This my first time really trying Linux seriously. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I like Lite way more then MX and don't really want to go back to it.

  Inserting links as words/phrases/sentences in place of the https://www.link
Posted by: Moltke - 10-17-2017, 03:56 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (5)

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! Smile I searched the forum and found this post very informative and instructional by the way, however, I know that inserting links can be funnier, so I decided to make this tutorial. The goal is learning how to insert any link as a word/phrase/sentence of your choice in place of the https:// web address, so  instead of users/readers seeing this https://www.linuxliteos.com/ they see this Linux Lite Rocks! how cool is that, eh?. 
In the first line you noticed that the word "post" points to gold_finger's tutorial link on the forum, for that I did the following:
First,  I clicked on toggle view button [Image: toogle.png]

Then I selected that word [Image: post.png]

Next, I clicked on insert Hyperlink button [Image: link.png]

Finally, I copied and pasted the link into the new window [Image: copy_paste.png]  that pops up, hit OK and that was it, that easy.

Maybe some/most of you know this but since I didn't find anything in the forum about it, I thought of having some fun creating this tuto which I hope you'd found useful  Smile . I think this should work with images too but for some reason I couldn't do it, when previewing I didn't see any image Sad  Seizing the moment I ask, How can I do that? Thanks!
EDIT: The problem was the service I was using to share the image, Imgur only allows to share the link to its site where the image's been uploaded to view. So I tried a different one  This site offers the possibility to copy a bbcode link so you can insert your image directly into your post Smile

  WPA2 Wi-Fi Vulnerability KRACK
Posted by: Vera - 10-16-2017, 09:27 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - Replies (5)

Hi, today a post came out on the Wordfence blog describing a couple of vulnerabilities (see https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/10/krack-and-roca/ ).  One of these is in the Wi-Fi WPA-2 protocol. The other is to do with public key authentication. These are not specific solely to Linux, but they affect a huge range of devices.

My question is, are we vulnerable and if so, is there any software that we should be installing on our Linux Lite machines to help protect/mitigate against these vulnerabilities? Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  Really ODD message box, on copying odt. file.
Posted by: pingball57 - 10-16-2017, 03:19 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

I had just saved some changes to an odt. file this morning, closed liber office and on right clicking said file, to copy to USB, the screen darkened slightly, recovered & this weird message box appeared :

Could not grab your mouse.

A malicious client may be eavesdropping on your session or you may have just clicked a menu or some application just decided to get focus.

Try again.

Please, what is 'mouse grabbing'? and "A malicious client" ? and how could they "be eavesdropping on your session" ?  I thought one of the virtues of Linux was not needing antivirus etc, so how could any 'malicious client' be eavesdropping? Also what does "some application just decided to get focus."?  (i did 'try again' without hitch & did try a search here about this without result.) thanks.

  Catfish file search tool freezes regularly - is this a bug & how to fix?
Posted by: m654321 - 10-16-2017, 02:34 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

I often use the catfish search tool to find files on a 4TB USB drive. However when I open catfish, it often freezes.  I searched the net but couldn't find any report of a known bug, etc. 

Anyone else had this problem?
How does one fix it?

It's getting to be an annoying problem (on setup1 in sig.)
Many thanks in advance for any help with this one.

Mike

  Opera Browser Install
Posted by: 1032 - 10-16-2017, 12:31 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (11)

I'm feeling stupid and helpless. Windows process is to go to cnet, download, double click to install, open, use. I looked in synaptic for Opera browser. Not there. Went to cnet, no Linux version. I am not understanding this. Is it right in front of me and I am not seeing it?

  Burning MP3 to CD with xfburn
Posted by: pingball57 - 10-15-2017, 04:07 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

I've just read a thread in software support saying you can burn MP3's to a normal audio CD using xfburn. I've just tried this but got the message -

(filename}.mp3

is not an audio file:

MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder is missing.

You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file.
Probably you need to look at the gst-plugins-* packages
for the necessary plugin

I've looked in synaptic manager but coudn't find anything that looked suitable. What plugins do i need to install?.or am i doing something else wrong? Thanks.
