I've read through probably 8 posts on this specific issue, but the solutions are usually specific to certain drivers.
I'm using some super-old hardware, which might be an issue. Here's some info:

Hello, I have a little problem. I installed Terminator and as soon as I did it Lxterminal stopped working. What I mean I cannot invoke it from the menu or by clicking on the icon on my panel. It simply does nothing. The only way I can do it is through another terminal. Does anybody know how to fix it, please. I apologize if it has been already covered but I couldn't find the subject in the 'search' option.
Hello,
I had a Google news to my phone of a post from
https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/...build-2017
It discusses how Microsoft have decided to distribute Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, and Fedora, from the Windows store.
Saying this will - make it easy to run Linux apps, from within any Windows 10 device. It will use virtualization.
My first thought was that this may increase awareness and users of Linux in the longer term as more Windows users will be trying it.
I then thought about how Windows 10s (and Creators update) will be more similar to Apple in being more closed and more proprietary by controlling what can be installed.
To that end it means in effect Microsoft will have some level of control over these Distros, at least where they are from the Windows store.
Looking at it from the recent announcement of Ubuntu and IPO, which Google says is where they sell shares ?
Are M$ making a first step towards buying out of Ubuntu business side via those shares ?
Also researching which Linux software they want to take control of as they will have all the stats of which apps users who download from the store have installed, and their usage levels of those apps, to gauge a popularity stats ?
Compared to previously where users could install virtualization and Distros themselves, does it also mean in that virtualization M$ will be blocking the installation of anything other than these 3 official Distros.
It is a worrying thought.
Overall it does also show M$ are feeling more threatened by Linux popularity, and open source software than they have previously admitted to.
The widget is very useful but I don't like it on the desktop all the time. I have worked out how to close it and reopen from terminal but wondered if it would easy to add a minimise button so the widget could be displayed or hidden from the taskbar? Or to open minimised to a button in the notification area?
With the prevalence of Social Media in the world, should we for convenience, include Social Media applications in Lite Software?
I know some of you are anti-social media, and that will influence your opinion. We are trying to push the message of free software. I'm not a big fan myself, but I'm always able to see the bigger picture and put aside personal opinion.

Weather Gadget - No Data Error on multiple PC's running LL 2.8
Was working Okay yesterday, but just noticed in the command line that instead of scrolling weather information, the Sun Icon has an "?" on it and the message No Data is written next to it.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Dan
My new Samsung monitor works like a dream except it keeps shutting down? I have been to Power manager and all the settings are set to "never". Is there some setting that i've missed? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks
Since installing LL on this laptop, every time I open up Chrome after starting up, have to enter password. And what is a 'keyring' anyway?
Am not sure if this is related, but most times I close lid to suspend, either I can't wake it up again and have to use power button to turn off and then on again after which a reboot, or it does respond to a key to wake up, but then goes throug the reboot routine. And the booting up is by far the slowest have ever encountered with Linux. LL used to always boot very fast, but not this time.

In 3.4, I had to uninstall & reinstall Chromium using Lite Software and everything went fine. I was a little surprised to open my "new" reinstalled Chromium and all my bookmarks, history, cookies and saved passwords were there. I was expecting a clean reinstall and I wonder how I could achieve this using Lite Software? What I did was Uninstall => Update => Install.
