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

The Wifi icon, which is normally on the right of the panel, disappeared when I clicked on it this morning to look at connection information.
In an attempt to fix this I did the following: right clicked on panel panel add new items indicator plugin.
This did not fix the problem but instead resulted in two copies of the icons for volume control and bluetooth appearing (I clicked "add new items twice).

How can I fix this? I'm using LL3.2.

Calling all web devs (html, js, css)

I'm making it so that the Donators page isn't so long to scroll by having clickable tabs.

The current issue is that with each tab, the gap grows larger between the heading and the displayed donors names.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you.

Hello folks,

Sooooo....I have not found a solution to this anywhere. I need to be able to completely turn off the icon grid snap on the desktop. I am building some public library computers and the icons need to be placed in specific locations against a custom wallpaper on the desktop.  The icons are arranged under header on the wallpaper. This allows new user at the library to easily find the icons they need to use. The grid snap is not allowing me to position the icons anywhere close to where they need to go. Is there a way to remove the grid snap completely.....as I have not found one yet.

Thanks in advance.....

Ken

Hey everybody I am new to linux lite 3.2, so far I really like it and I only found one issue with it. The new Conky that comes with 3.2 version looks messed up. It doesnt come up automatically. I have to run program and run conky, but it looks messed up and it dissapears after few seconds. I do have composting enabled as well.

Works perfectly. Kernel updated this morning to 4.4.0-47-generic #68 when I clicked on the 'install updates' to see if there were any. Thanks for adding this feature to LL. I usually read about a security issue here on the forum, go to synaptic, etc. etc. Saves a lot of work!
