After much ado i put LL on my Acer aspire one recently but I'm getting increasing problems with Libre office, which i use a lot on this m/c. it's not saving files properly to USB sticks, & they're coming up as corupt files when i try reaccess or read only if i do access or are coming up as locked. also when typing there is a big delay for the text to appear on screen & only does so when i puase. the fan works hard while i'm using it. i'm getting most problems if i swap the USB stick between the acer & my win 10 laptop which has openoffice 4. I was thinking that if i reinstall it that might fix it but i don't know how. i tried from the menu but got error messages. is there a simple commandline i can use?

Encountered this update error for the first time today during my daily update procedure:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.

We're currently working on the issue. I'll delete this thread after services return to normal. During this period, you may not be able to receive any updates.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Can the resolution of the login screen be adjusted to fit the entire screen, like the desktop one? I guess it has something to do with Nvidia settings, but fiddling with my "Nvidia Xserver Settings" from Menu->System does not do it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

There seems to be a lot of questions about wifi lately. What follows here are a few simple things to keep in mind when, and to do first, when asking about wifi problems.

1) Please remember that Linux wifi is in a constant state of improvement. Support is constantly changing.

2) If you are looking for pci card support for LL, please open a terminal and run this command first:  lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

3) Go to this link:  https://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_Wi-Fi_...s_in_Linux  and look for the id that matches your card.

4) Drivers list here:  https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers

5) If you are using USB  rt2800usb  is the most widely supported. Panda wireless runs this chip and is basically plug and play in Linux.

Hi all.
I wonder if I could change the behavior of the dual-display : i want it activated only when my user session is started / unlocked and that it can't apply when I logout / session is locked / before login . What would be for you guys the smartest way to do that ?
I tried to find out in my process monitor the process that manages the dual-display but could not find it...  :'(

Hi
I’m having a problem upgrading from version 3.4 to 3.6, 64 bit only. The 32 bit upgrade worked great. Please know I am not using a proxy and updates is working. Except for using a proxy my issue is the same as WytWun. However his thread was marked as “Solved” But the resolution did not work for me. In that thread my understanding is the resolution is to comment out line 495 of the /user/bin/lite-upgrade-series3 file. I opened the file but the file on my PC has only 470 lines.  When I ran the command “wget -nv -t2 -T1 --ignore-length --max-redirect=1  --spider http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/db/version” I get the error”
“wget: unable to resolve host address ‘repo.linuxliteos.com’.  The other wegt and curl commands suggested by ralphy run without errors.

Heya!


Not really a software "issue" so posting here.


I've been looking for a visual (i.e. not glmark) benchmark
that would run in opengl 1.x on Linux and Windows.


I tried unigine sanctuary and tropics but looking
for something that would be on a 'real' (albeight old) game engine.


For not so old pcs I can run Furmark and StreetFighter IV benchmark in Wine,
bFur is almost same speed as Windows in wine but SFIV varies from 60.- 90%
of Windows performances so not too reliable.


The Doom3 demo works on linux but no FPS and the equivalent Doom3 demo is too old to work in Windows 7.


Any suggestions?

Will i be able to play Blue-ray dvd's using VLC media player in Linux Lite-3.6?

I prefer using Gedit for all my HTML and CSS. So, i uninstalled Leafpad and removed it from the main menu. Problem is that after installing Gedit i can't see any link for it in the main menu. Can anyone help this old fool please.
