I'm not sure if this is the place for this post. If it's not, please forgive me  Smile

I installed LL 3.4 a few days ago and find two little "problems" that I think can be easy fix to function out of the box:

  1. When trying to create a compressed file directly from Thunar (right click in the mouse on the file) an error occurred and the system told me that there was no application for that action. I find out that the MIME types for the compressed files where not set up for File Roller, hence the error. I assigned them to File Roller and the problem was solved.
  2. When I tried to change some hotkeys I realized that there are some key-shortcuts that call for applications that are not installed in Linux Lite. I removed them and created some of my own. My suggestion is to make sure the shortcuts call Linux Lite Applications, and not others that are not there.

I hope this will help you make an even better distro, because I'm really happy with it. My old Dell Mini Inspiron 1018 is flying, thanks to all of you.

Recently, every time I run Lite Tweaks I now receive "an error has occured" message.


I have run each of the "SAFE" options individually and have determined that the option that is causing this error message is the Autoremove Packages module.


This is a recent occurence and I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue before I upgrade to LL 3.4

Hello,

I have tried to install the new printer and have not been successful in Linux.

I have downloaded and follow these instructions exactly.
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/ins...index.html

As well as it having totally vandalized my panel, menus, and desktop with an array of icons, folders, logs, files, none of which seem to be of any use to me.
It also does not print anything, throwing more errors than the height of my monitor, so it over lays them to make them fit etc.

Has anyone know how to getting this working ?
Additional - If it can work, how to tidy that mess of install up.

Update - I found I can delete the desktop files and folders and the panel icon.
Uninstalling HPLIP did not remove its whiskermenu wording only the icon next to it. The HP uninstall procedure leave a large number of files on the system according to the search results.

Hi there everybody!
I'm trying to do something so mi laptop disables the TouchPad when I connect the external Mouse and enables it again when I disconnect the mouse. So far I got the bash script for each action.
Searching the web I discovered that with udev I can do that. But so far it doesn't work. So I come here for some help.
NOTE:
I have to say that I had to change systemd with upstart and lightDM with SDDM in order to make Linux Lite work in my computer (with Ubuntu, my computer only works with Kubuntu and upstart). Unfortunately I'm not that an advance user to explain this, but it just works this way.
Ok, now that everything is explained here comes the things I've done:

First I create the scripts to disable the touchpad

Code:
#!/bin/sh # Get the id number of the touchpad. tp_id=`xinput list | grep -i touchpad | awk '{ print $6 }' | sed 's/id=//'` xinput disable $tp_id

and the script to enable it
Code:
#!/bin/sh # Get the id number of the touchpad. tp_id=`xinput list | grep -i touchpad | awk '{ print $6 }' | sed 's/id=//'` xinput enable $tp_id

I made the rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-personal.rules:

* Sorry to place an image. For some reason if I write the text here the forum doesn't let me make the post.

I restarted my computer but when I connect/disconnect the external mouse the udev rules don't work. The system recognize the mouse and it works ok. But it appears that the udev rules are not "charged".
What I am doing wrong?

Hi there,

I have tried to make my HP Probook a wifi hotspot.  I have previously tried the unbuntu forums and other methods for achieving this.  Everything seems to go fine until I set the WPA password. Then the SAVE button gets greyed out.

I am really new to all this and any help would be appreciated.

Hi there, everybody!

I installed Linux Lite 3.4 a few days ago and I'm very happy with it. it just works so fine in my old computer that any other distro could do so far.
