Hi to everybody. I tested LL yesterday with USB stick to see if my hardware is detected properly. Everything seems to work fine except brightness control - no matter what value I chose it stayed the same level (80% or so). Now, before I format my HDD and remove Windows 8.1 I want to ask if this issue is easy to solve? I was able to type xrandr in terminal and change brightness manually, but I do not want to do so every time. I am going to install LL on my laptop with IntelHD 4000 graphics. Laptop is connected to external monitor via docking station.

After installing Nvidia drivers, the system always booted to a blank screen by default.

Here's how I got the Nvidia drivers working with Linux Lite 3.2:

1. Run the following command: ubuntu-drivers devices
================================

Code:
root@linuxlite-Inspiron-580s:/home/linuxlite# ubuntu-drivers devices

Code:
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 == modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001380sv00001458sd00003667bc03sc00i00 vendor  : NVIDIA Corporation model    : GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] driver  : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin driver  : nvidia-361 - distro non-free recommended driver  : nvidia-340 - distro non-free == cpu-microcode.py == driver  : intel-microcode - distro non-free
================================

2.  Install recommended nvidia propritary drivers:
================================
Code:
root@linuxlite-Inspiron-580s:/home/linuxlite# apt-get install nvidia-361
================================

3. Before you reboot, edit the following files:
================================
Code:
root@linuxlite-Inspiron-580s:/home/linuxlite# nano /etc/default/grub

Code:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768x24 <-- Uncomment and add a known working resolution supported by your video card / monitor
================================

Save and exit.

================================
Code:
root@linuxlite-Inspiron-580s:/home/linuxlite# nano /etc/grub.d/00_header

Code:
if [ "x${GRUB_GFXMODE}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXMODE=auto ; fi <-- FIND THIS LINE if [ "x${GRUB_GFXMODE}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXMODE=keep ; fi <-- MODIFY
================================

Save and exit.

4. Update grub:
================================
Code:
root@linuxlite-Inspiron-580s:/home/linuxlite# update-grub
================================

5. Reboot:
================================
Code:
root@linuxlite-Inspiron-580s:/home/linuxlite# reboot
================================

Hope this helps others struggling to get Nvidia drivers working correctly for them.

When I go to Add Printer and Direct it to the driver I downloaded from Brother ( mfcj880dwcupswrapper-1.0.0-0.i386.deb ).
It says that it's not valid or something like that.
I have Extracted it.
If I try and use The List of Printers Available, my printer is not in the list.
If I can't install a printer my only option is to go back to windows and that would be a shame as this o/s looks good.

On my 10" Samsung netbook (see setup2 in sig below) I've found that LL3.2 runs less snappily in general than LL2.8 which I was using previously, e.g. boot-up time = 52 seconds, LL3.2; 36 seconds, LL2.8.

In an effort to speed things up I've been deleting software that I don't need or replacing it with lighter stuff (using Synaptic). For example, I've replaced LibreOffice with Gnumeric & Abiword and replaced Firefox with Slimjet, etc.  However, the icons for LibreOffice under 'Office' in Menu still persist - how do I get rid of these?

Thanks for your help
Mike
