After upgrading to LL 3.2 whenever i disconnect VGA cable in order to connect the TV screen ( through VGA connection ) the screen goes blank and i have to restart the computer. This never used to be a problem before, how can i fix this?

Hi all

I was trying to help a friend get rid of windows and install LL but i have encountered a problem. The laptop is a Toshiba with UEFI, i thought at first it will be easier to just install mint on it and all went alright till i saw what a mess it is ( can't believe i was using it just some 4 months back !).

On trying to install LL i chnaged from UEFI to CSM,i chose cd-rom as first boot choice and finally changed sata drivers(?) to AHCI mode. Tried installing LL and i see there is progress but the screen kept blinking right from start and i gave up after about 30 minutes. When i use a windows 7 cd it installs until it mentions something about automatically stopping the installation to prevent damage to my computer.

I need to also mention that the onboard keyboard is not working so i have to rely to an external keyboard and LL seems to have issues with that since i can not do F2 when booting. My question: What options do i have to install LL?

I saw Jerry has made available for a limited time LL that can me installed on UEFI machines. Can that be something worth trying? Thanks !

I have a laptop used both for work/study and as a media computer. When I use it as a media computer, I plug it to my TV so that I can watch KODI and various videos on the larger screen. Every time I connect it, I have to re-configure the display so that the TV will show the screen correctly while the laptop's screen will shut down. Is there a way to make Linux Lite save the display configuration so that it will work appropriately upon plugging the TV to my laptop without requiring additional configuration?

(Using Linux Lite 3.0, so with a upgraded Kernel, I think - I did "sudo apt-get upgrade" after 3.2 came out).

I'm working on some code that will count all http and torrent Linux Lite downloads. The end result is very simple, but the behind the scenes work will take some time to get it right and accurate. There is no way currently to include downloads from mirrors and 3rd party sites. This is a question I get a lot so I'm happy to include this information. Stats totals are from the beginning of LL, and are counted from Sourceforge.

All of a sudden Kodi stopped opening up.When I try to open in the terminal it gives an "ERROR can not create a GUI".
I have never had this problem before. I am running LL 2.8 and I don't have any other problems as far video and graphics drivers. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. I check and install updates on a daily basis.

Any suggestions?

I've been looking at alternative open-source browsers to Firefox, as I've found opening Firefox browser is encumbered by extensions which make it pretty laggy on all our PCs, both old & new (2007-2014, see sig). I've found the lightweight Qupzilla to run snappily on all setups, using version 1.8.9 ~ dfsg1-3 from the LL3.2 repository.  However, two issues have come up, for which I haven't found any online solution for Qupzilla - these are:

(1) websites bookmarked in the bookmarks toolbar don't have an individualised icon - each bookmark has the same blank grey rectangular icon

(2) YouTube videos won't go to full-screen view when the full-screen view icon (in the bottom left of the video frame) is clicked

I should add that I don't have either Adobe Flashplayer or Pepperflash installed, though this doesn't appear to affect the smooth running of either Firefox or Slimjet on all PC setups.  Also, the above two issues  don't appear when Qupzilla is run on Windows 7.

Many thanks for any solutions to the the above...
Cheers

Linuxlite-2.8-I would like to enlarge the upper panel-How do I do that chore

Hello to everyone from hippocrat - just joined - already have a problem!


I burned a copy of Linux Lite 3.2 and ran it as a live dvd - cannot get wifi to work - am running a Zyxel4965ton router- when I try to type in my alpha ten-letter wireless key I get the first two letters [r and p] but when I punch in the third letter [g] I get the number 6- this continues for the remainder of the key and I get no wifi.  I'm hoping to run linux lite on this my old Gateway machine which currently runs Zorin os9 with no problems.

I also run linux lite 3.0 from a usb stick on my other machine a Toshiba Tecra r840 with no probs - wifi comes up automatically.  Any ideas?  would welcome some feedback - thanx in anticipation  hippocrat

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum.  I need help restoring my linux-lite desktop.  I used the following command to fix a problem (which I have no idea what it was).
