  LL 3.4 will not update
Posted by: T1125P - 07-13-2017, 02:43 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)


Hi all, I just installed LL 3.4 on my netbook and it actually runs smooth.  Now it will not install any updates it keeps giving me an error about updates could not be installed. I tried using the terminal and still same issues. I have a link at the bottom to show the issue, it also shows Midori but I have uninstalled that browser. Also I ran the Package System Repair but it actually froze at the end so I had to turn the netbook off then restart. Now the install updates item in the start menu is gone and its not even in the main menu. How can I get the install updates entry back and also fix this update issue?

  Is possible a better language support?
Posted by: Rods - 07-12-2017, 07:06 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

I've always used Linux Lite on my old Dell Inspiron.I like this distro linux very much, its amazing, but I always had problems in my native language translation. The translation is not done correctly (incomplete) as in other distros and this is very frustrating. I wish that in the next versions this can be solved. I used the linux lite help guide to set up my language correctly.

  Generic PS3 controller issue
Posted by: JesusLinux - 07-11-2017, 10:49 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

Hi folks

I have this weird issue with a PS3 generic controller.
When using the controller on LL desktop environment if I press left trigger the mouse pointer goes to the up and stays there like pressing up on the left analog and when I press right trigger it goes left and stays there like I'm pressing left.
I have to disconnect from USB and reconnect.
I'm also using a mouse but I tried with only the controller connected and the same happens.
I have installed jstest in an attempt to remap buttons to no success.

Is there an app in which I can remap buttons and assign actions?
Like open the Menu close windows or right mouse click menu?
I ask this because I would like to control LL laid back on my chair Smile

Thank you

  New FiOS Service Now My Netbook Will Not Load Any Webpages
Posted by: T1125P - 07-11-2017, 09:04 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

Hi all, I am currently using LL 1.0.6 on my Toshiba Netbook. Used to have DSL, now using Verizon FiOS. I'm using the wifi it worked perfect when I was using DSL, now it only shows connected and no websites load, Skype works,  Transmission torrent client works but the downloads are way to slow. I cannot use any terminal commands to download any software it does not connect. Is this a limitation of my Netbook? I don't think it is, it's has 802.11n.  Or a limitation of LL 1.0.6?


Thanks

  DVD player won't play

I just ran command inxi di and get:

Code:
raymond@RAB-P-6860FX:~$ inxi -d
Drives:    HDD Total Size: 80.0GB (15.5% used)
           ID-1: /dev/sda model: Hitachi_HTS72208 size: 80.0GB
           Optical: /dev/sr0 model: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7563A
           dev-links: cdrom,cdrw,dvd,dvdrw
           Features: speed: 24x multisession: yes
           audio: yes dvd: yes rw: cd-r,cd-rw,dvd-r,dvd-ram
raymond@RAB-P-6860FX:~$


So my guess it sees the DVD player but VLC player still wont play I get and error unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr0'

Any Suggestions please? Thanks.

  Net Neutrality Day - July 12th
Posted by: valtam - 07-11-2017, 05:58 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Linux Lite will be participating in the global protest for Net Neutrality.

For those who want to know what Net Neutrality is:

"Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments regulating the Internet should treat all data on the Internet the same, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication."

Some sources:

Whenever I put a YouTube link on a post, the Youtube video's 'cover' appears.  How can I stop this happening and just show the link for people to click on should they wish?

Thanks for your help.

  Windows keyboard
Posted by: then00b - 07-10-2017, 04:58 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Hello!

My friend gave me a keyboard (HIGH-SPEED SERIAL BUS USB 2.0 that has a backlight). But, unfortunately the backlight can be only activated with Windows OS. The only thing that lights up (on this OS) is the Caps and Num Lock. Now, I am just wondering, is there a way to make this work on this OS?

  Request for a return of an old Linux Lite feature
Posted by: Ottawagrant - 07-09-2017, 11:49 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (1)

In Linux Lite series 1 as soon as you put in the cd/dvd & booted from it the last choice on the screen was 'Install this distribution permanently' (or words thereabout). So you didn't have to boot into a live environment if you don't want to. You could start the installation right away. I'm asking this for two reasons. The first has to do with new major releases. IE: LL 4.0, 5.0, etc. You can't upgrade from an older version, you have to install fresh. Second, booting to a live environment in a lower power computer (ex: netbook) can be a slow experience, especially if your intention is to install it, not check it out. This was a good feature & I hope it can be considered for a return. Quite usefull for fresh re-installs too. Hope this is a good suggestion.
