  Wireless Setup for Brother HL-L2380DW
Posted by: CaperAsh - 05-20-2017, 12:56 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (4)

have gone round and round. Printer installed fine with usb connection going through routine found via web search. But entirely unable after dozens of pages to find a way to install this printer so it works wirelessly. Cannot find the ip address. The interface on the printer has only 4 buttons and seems to just want to search for a connection, no other menu options. After searching 2-3 minutes it prints out an error page at the bottom of which it says:


<Configuration>
Network Name (SSID)                SETUP
Hardware Address (MAC)            28:56:5a:67:49:2b
Communication Mode

This has the simplest, fastest way to add to your system in Panel area showing latest files accessed. Takes only a minute or so to set up.


Suggestion: include it in next distribution.

  Uninstall duplicate version of linux lite 3.4
Posted by: Radhika - 05-19-2017, 07:29 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (18)

Hello! I am a newbie and new to the forum. I am also illiterate as far as coding is concerned, having been a Windows user. I installed Linux lite a couple of days ago, and while mounting partitions, ran into a problem. Although I followed the instructions in the manual, an error message popped up about the disk, and then I couldn't get past the initial screen on boot up - the one with the feather. After that I got a black screen saying
'welcome to emergency mode!' and a bunch of options including entering a root password (which didn't work) and pressing 'control -D'. On doing the last action, I got an error about some 'ext4 not found'.
The forums were full of help that involved a lot of code which I didn't understand. (I'll learn code by and by, but right now I need help!)
So I tried re-installing. Now the opening screen has 2 versions of linux. How do I remove the earlier one?
I would really appreciate help on this! Thank you in advance!

  A tell-tell for the unattended-upgrades process
Posted by: Oobuntus - 05-17-2017, 10:46 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

I have a habit of performing updates via Synaptic. Sometimes I do this immediately upon starting a session. Often this activity is obstructed and a message appears advising me that only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time. I have learned that this is invariably due to an active unattended-upgrade process. I am no longer mystified about it.

However, it would still be nice if some kind of tell-tell were to appear somewhere on the screen to advise us when this process is underway. Then, when the upgrade is finished and the tell-tell disappears, we could carry on with the operation that had to be postponed, be it apt-get, dpkg, gdebi, Synaptic, or Installing Updates.

  Respins
Posted by: supergamer - 05-17-2017, 08:33 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

I have started back into building again. I created the SuperGamer series and have been branching out to get some Debian/Ubuntu experience. I enjoy Linux Lite of the package selection that I would normally install. I would add Bleachbit and Firejail but that is my opinion. Now for my question, does any of the developers have an issue if I respin Linux Lite with just basically some theming changes as well as some added programs. The last week I have been building iso's of what I like to learn how the live stuff is being made as well as how to just create an install disk. I am asking in advance so I do not step on any toes and will honor any answer. Thank you. Darin

  NO Sound When Using The Opera Browser?
Posted by: PinStripe - 05-17-2017, 03:07 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I don't know what happened... but I have sound while using Firefox and
when I go to use Opera and try to play a YouTube video, there is No sound!

Any ideas?  I checked the settings of the browser and see nothing referring
to sound. I am absolutely Dumb-founded over this. NEVER had this happen
before. Yah gotta just laugh...

Opera has had numerous issues ever since its inception and even now after
a China based company buys the browser and rebuilds it from the ground
up using the Chrome engine... it is still problematic!
