Hi all, I just upgraded my netbook to an AC card: Intel Wireless AC7260 WiFi Card, now I can get much faster download speeds then before with the stock 802.11n card.
It works great but, my WiFi light does not come on anymore since the upgrade. I installed updates also did sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade and still the light is off.
I can try Intel directly but, not exactly sure if it will mess up my connection. :-\ I'm running LL 3.4
Whats good Linux community?
I apologize if this is being posted in the wrong section I tried searching the forums first for advice but didn't really find what I was looking for. I'm having a little difficulty updating some seriously outdated drivers on my toshiba satellite laptop which is probably the main reason why Linux Lite isn't running as smoothly as it should be. I do know that my laptop is about 10 years old, but with an Intel duo core processor and 2gb of ram I'd think it'd still be hangin in there. Did a tab bit of research, and found out that updating my drivers,and bios, would probably help out alot. I figured when I use install updates/drivers application on linux that I was already up to date with the latest drivers so I eliminated that as an option.. at first.
Out of curiosity I tinkered around with terminal and found out that my drivers and bios are seriously outdated.. as if the previous owner of this laptop didn't care or know how to install updates back when the OS was windows vista. All of the drivers are factory versions, and this is a 2007-2008 windows vista home premium laptop. So then I go to the toshiba site and find out there's been updates all the way to 2016.. I'm thinkin WOW, no wonder why pc locks up on me just for being on facebook and a chat site at the same time. Long story short since I feel like I'm rambling, I stumbled across a app called ndiswrapper. Most people say this is a pretty efficient way to install windows drivers so that's what I'm trying to do now, give my laptop a serious updating.
Problem I'm having is, not all of the drivers are just as simple as extracting the .exe and finding the .inf files. Some have autorun.inf files. so I open the autorun.inf files with text editor only for the autorun to point towards setup.exe or install.exe. So then I open setup.exe with archive manager and theres no .inf files to be found.. just a bunch of folders leading to some files that show up as unknown file type.
Yeah so here's where I'm stuck at, if anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it. =D
May I draw members attention to Brave. I haven't seen it mentioned on LL.
https://brave.com/
A relatively new browser developed by the co founder of the Mozilla Project and creator of JavaScript Brendan Eich.
It's open source and has an inbuilt ad blocker and blocks third party cookies etc. All this speeds up browsing.
One thing I find helpful is when you put the cursor over a tab it shows whats in that tab.
Over the years I've tried all the browsers and always come back to Chrome (never got on with Firefox)
But that might be about to change 
Well worth a try.
Take care.

I have been trying to get my Arduino Mega 2560 board to upload a sketch aka program but each and everytime i try there is a problem.
The selected serial port avrdude: stk500_send(): failed
I have followed the Arduino Mega 2560 and tried everything i can think of and others but so far zilch!
I even opened up the terminal and ran 'dmesg' and although i did manage to find where arduino is mentioned i couldn't understand the output.
Is this a dial out problem and if so how do i resolve it?
Surely there must be some Linux Lite users out there who have tried the arduino boards and came across
similar problems and resolved them. Will you help please.
please i would like to know how do i change mouse scroll speed?
I have recently started getting a strange message immediately after login. It's headed : Update Standard Folders to New Language?
and then goes on to advise that I've logged in using a new language and do I want to automatically update the names of some standard folders to match this language. It then says the following folders would be changed /home/username to /home/username/Music
I have an option to Keep Old Names and not to be asked again but I'd prefer to have an idea of what's going on first. Can anyone advise please.
This is 64 bit 3.4, by the way.
Thanks

HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO????
BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING EITHER
Has anyone have a guide to setting up a basic home network where Linux and Windows can be accessed from either direction? I am not asking 
about shares.
recently clean install Linux Lite OS, is that look ok?
I think we should all be extremely thankful for a forum where the creator and development team are so actively involved. Earlier this morning I finally was able to resolve an issue on a different forum. That forum has absolutely nothing to to with Linux or even technology. It's a totally different type of forum, but that's not relevant to my appreciation for this forum. To make a very long story short, there was a "management change" at different levels and the forum was suddenly flying on auto pilot. None of the new management had even bothered to register on the forum. That went on for almost 3 months. About a month ago, the Private Messaging function ceased working. I use PM regularly and made post after post asking for assistance. No reply. Then a few days ago a "fight", so to speak, broke out on the forum. It got WAY out of hand, but still no one bothered to check in, let alone lock the troubling thread and/or remove it. Again, long story short, I eventually started working my way up through the management ladder and finally reached someone that either cared enough, or had enough weight, to get the new moderators actively involved with the forum.
And then I come here and check new threads or the latest replies to old ones and what do I see? The whole dad gummed team actively involved and exchanging ideas with us "common folk". Yep, it's certainly refreshing! 8)
