  Missing wifi network menu icon
Posted by: Ron Fiedler - 07-20-2016, 11:06 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

I am not a computer guru by any means but I usually don't dismiss items by error. I installed linux lite about a year ago and mostly use it with my home wifi network but sometimes I take it away from the house and want to log on to other wifi systems (such as a hotel) and when I attempted to do so last week I found  the wifi menu listing that used to be in the lower right corner along with the speaker volume icons to be missing.
I can do without the volume control but would like to find the wifi icon and put it back where it belongs. Does anyone have an answer for me? I am not literate enough to write code.
Thanks
Ron

  Wifi problem
Posted by: LinuxNoob - 07-20-2016, 10:37 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (1)

I recently went back to 2.8 64 bit from 3.0 I didnt like the long startup. Seems 2,8 starts up faster or atleast to me if feels quicker. I blame the confusing systemd thing. To avoid this I went 2.8 but now my wifi is giving problems as it seems to be dropping and coming back on. It happens all the time drops for a second and then comes back on.

Let me know if there is any other info required from me. I rememeber that it used to be a problem with a file that had more than one type competing for something and the router having trouble keeping the connection. It was so long ago I can hardly remember. What gets me is this is something that us linux users should not be having to deal with in 2016.

  Shutdown kinda slow
Posted by: T1125P - 07-20-2016, 08:21 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (3)

Hi all, I recently reinstalled LL 1.0.6 on my netbook. Now for some reason the shutdown seems a bit slower even though I'm using an SSD drive. I read that you can use the terminal to shut down almost instanly using:  sudo poweroff -f  This is a forced shutdown but I want to know is this safe to use over time?
Also is it possible to make this a script and add it to the menu where it says logoff? I would love to just have a shutdown button there Smile

Thanks.

  Install on an EEE PC 1015N
Posted by: Abw - 07-20-2016, 01:27 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi,
I've installed many distros in this EEE PC 1015N without a hitch. But I wanted to speed up this little lappy and decided to try linux lite which works great in a virtualbox. But installing and then reinstalling results in exactly the same issues:
By default the install turns on num lock, so half the keyboard is off until the numlock is turned off, and sudo does not accept the assigned password. (wrong password, try again) So if anyone has an EEE PC try it and let me know. Otherwise I'll have to continue looking at other distros..

  Cleaning software
Posted by: BarryVG - 07-19-2016, 09:00 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Greetings,

Looking for any comments to this.

I was browsing through Softpedia web site and a page came up for BleachBit - a cleaning software for Linux systems.  Anyone have any experience with this item.  I don't plan to put this on my Linux Lite systems, since there is already Lite Tweaks.

I also run Mint, Debian, Ultimate Edition (several versions) and a couple others.

  Chinese Chewing Input - Black box appears

Hey guys,

So I've been trying to install Chinese input on my Linux Lite machine. I was able to install it through fcitx but this huge black box appears below where I'm typing. Can anyone shed some light on the issue?

This is my first time on the forum so I apologize in advance if this isn't the right place to post this.
