Good day, people of the inter-tubes!


I had a problem this week end with an installation of Linux Lite 3.4 32 bits.
Everything went fine , except one thing ... the system has an ATI X1650 and max-resolution listed was 1024x768.
On a wide-screen monitor, this is hug-a-ly!


I checked and the card is officially supported in Ubuntu 16.04.
Also, some other people have listed it on the hardware compatibility list on the LinuxLite web site with higher rez.


I temporarily took a ATI/AMD HD 6400 from another system and this one worked fine.
When I put back the X1650 though, maxed out at 1024 again.


So, I tried to install the Hardware Enablement Stack, just in case with :
[color=rgb(51, 51, 51)]sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04[/color]
and rebooted.


Did not work.


What else should I try?

I'm hoping someone can help.  I have received a charge cord for the HP Chromebook which was donated to me for use with the youth in South Africa.  I would like to put Linux Lite on it, however am not really familiar with the Chromebook and I sense from some reading in the forums it may not be "easy".  I have only just turned on the chromebook and do not even see any keys to press to get into the BIOS such that I can even trial run Linux Lite off of the ISO USB...

I will google how to get into the BIOS later today after my volunteer shift, however IF anyone in the community has some good pointers for both the BIOS AND IF/HOW I can put Linux Lite on it that would be great!  It is an HP Chromebook 14-q020nr 2G RAM HD=16G

Thanks in Advance.

Hi everyone,

Firstly, my apologies for the absence of the Forums since the 19th August.

Since the 19th August, the Forums were unreachable. I'm still yet to receive an explanation from our Host and they certainly got an earful from me on Twitter for this.

I'm still going to move away from a 3rd party web manager to a situation where I have 100% access to our web services. This will take place next year after 18.04 LTS Server is released. If we do this now, we risk completely destroying a 16.04 server with a do release-upgrade. By installing 18.04, we ensure that we have a stable server for 5 years through to 2023, by not engaging in any risky system upgrades.

Thank you for your understanding during this down time.

Hi all, I would like to turn off my swap permanently. I'm using an SSD and have more than enough RAM. Using /etc/fstab which line do I delete?
10 and 11 or just 11? Pic of my swap partition:

Thanks ^_^

.. I hope that's okay.  BTW Hi, I'm new here

Dual Booters Cautionary News

One of the biggest discount MS software dealers has developed a security leak on their payment server. Atlantic Discount has yet to take any responsibility for the problem but be aware that I personally made recent purchases there while using Ubuntu LTS and got knicked pretty good at my bank with unauthorized purchases a few days after the initial transaction cleared. Quite simply their payment server is not secure, (and I know it's an internal hack because the connection protocol is secure). I am no ordinary computer user so you can take my word for this. Avoid them for a while even if you have used them in the past. Pay the higher price and use Newegg or Amazon registered suppliers through Amazon. I have chatted with support at AD, and they are certainly loathe to admit to the problem so I'm going to help them admit to it now. I'm old, patient, with time on my hands, but not particularly forgiving of server administrative security incompetence that goes on without any admission of error.

Also deeply discounted but still legal software often has reasons for the discounting usually due lately to containing Windows 10 17xx version bugs, most often the "just a moment" screen bug. There are a series of patches available for this but if you have only one Windows machine and don't know how to fix it login will not be possible on new installs, and after some updates, and even on some brand new OEMs with Windows 10 preloaded (which is very ugly when you think about it), so be careful with your update sequencing, and learn to edit Windows registry from the repair Windows utility. By the way you can circumvent the bug with an Ubuntu live disk and chntpw even on a new install which is easier than adding a patch that itself is awaiting a patch, but eventually the bug will pop again usually after updating. Leave the onboard administrator account without a password activated for a while or you may be fixing the bug several times depending on your update sequencing.

If we are business people we are stuck with Windows, but God it is so much easier to maintain their junk with Linux. Keeps the letters from wearing off my keyboards. Dual boot Linux somewhere on your system if you're stuck with Windows. I will post a follow up note on Atlantic Discount as I'm going to involve Kaspersky now. I have a few friends left that aren't dead yet.

Doing reputable business with consumers (taking their money via servers) means taking responsibility for your hardware systems.

Hi, I'm traveling at the moment and wanted to add an additional clock in the panel tray to keep track of home time in addition to the local time. But I'm not seeing in LL, or on here, how to add a clock. Is this possible?

Is there a way to do a system refresh or reinstall, keeping data, programs and settings?

When 3.6 Final has been released, I'm going to be spending a lot of time on Series 4.x

One of the first things I'm looking at is enhancing the icon set. My first question is, which tray icons do you think looks better for network and sound?

Current set:



Proposed set:

I am trying to install LL3.4 64-bit from a DVD to an empty HDD. I downloaded LL to a different PC and burned the ISO file to a DVD. On the PC to which I am trying to install LL, the DVD drive is first in the boot list. The DVD fails to boot. Other bootable DVDs boot successfully from the drive. Can anyone please suggest what I might try to resolve this? Thanks
