Thought i'd have a look at the Opera Web browser especially since they've added VPN. But after downloading it from the official web site and then clicking on the .deb file i get the following error,

opera-stable_38.0.2220.31_i386.deb
error:
Dependency is not satisfiable:
libcurl3 (>=7.16.2)

Does anyone have any idea what is happening here please.

After my HP laptop died i got an old laptop from my sister. Its an packard bell easynote.
Linux 3.0 32 bits installed fine and works. Only problem i have is the screen resolution. I only have the option of 640x480.


Edit:
Found this post:https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/video-cards/sis-graphic-card-support-(771671-pcie-vga)/
I used the answer Misko gave and now have the resolution set to 1280x768


Now only need to find out what the max screenresolution is that the card can handle

I have...
SET-UP:  Win8.1/LL2.8 UEFI dual boot
PC:          Asus G750JS
PROBLEM(S): see Tutorial post#1 Section F, problem3 at https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutor...y-enabled/
                        Occasional sticking at start-up screen - solution in tutorial applied seems to work, though sometimes may need to repeat it more than once when the 'sticking' arises
LEVEL OF SATISFACTION: good
WORTH IT ?      Yes, only if it really does potentially protect my PC against any malware (e.g. 'rootkits'), otherwise it's use is probably questionable... 

Please  indicate your dual-boot or single-boot Linux Lite UEFI set-up (distribution release used), the PC make/model you run it on, and any problem9s) with it's smooth running, and your level of satisfaction with the set-up and whether you think it's worth the trouble to set-up. 

I'm sure this will be useful for anyone interested in Linux Lite & UEFI
Many thanks

Regards
Mike

I just found that launching the Help Manual, whether from the Whisker Menu or a Panel, simply opens its index.html file in LeafPad. This is true no matter which browser I choose as the system default, including Firefox, which I figure is failsafe. This is an excellent resource and I'd like to restore its functionality.


Thanks.

Hi

I am not a Windows user and most users are likely to stay with the graphical control panel for PulseAudio (PA) called PulseAudio Volume Control whose icon can be found in 64 bit under /usr/share/applications/ or via the menu -> Multimedia -> Volume control

If you need a permanent change and hopefully can understand this ....read on.

#########################
PA is a front end to ALSA and has too many  feature to list here. But offers on-the-fly changing of sound output device etc.

Some people with towers, laptops, netbooks etc want to fix their default sound device away from (say) the default likely to be the hdmi device.
Skype for example tends to use analog sound devices as you tend to plug in a headphone mic/ear set.

Lets show how mine first looked after Hard drive install.....I open PA volume control to see this



But as its graphical it does not tell me what my default sound device is.  Secondly ALSA counts its device by 0,1,2 etc and not the normal way of 1,2,3 etc. Thirdly we need to know the default sound device is therefore the one the system thinks is index=0  which means card number zero.  Here is my way of checking it.

Open a terminal as a local user and run the command

and if you have hdmi you are likely to see this image. Ignore whether you have an Haswell but focus on the HDMI please.

.

Now if you can set up PA, the easiest thing to do would be go to the Volume Control gui and then click the TAB for configution and pulldown one of the analog sound settings depeinding on whether you ouptut to a surround sound system or not. But that may still not help some who need an actual default to be analog such as Skpe users. YMMV.

If interested here is one way to change it.

copy and paste the following command into a terminal as a local user.


Hint 1  your terminal as a pulldown called edit that an option of paste so you copy from your web browser into a terminal
Hint 2 for wheel mouse users after copying from web browser press down the wheel to paste in terminal.

Next in the terminal you are prompted to enter your password and after pressing enter you will be in a root powered text editor at the correct file.

scroll down and press the mouse at the end of the line of file which on 64 bit is
options snd-usb-audio index=-2  ......and press enter twice

copy paste the next bit ....if your sound modulle is intel.....and then save the file and do a full reboot please.

Quote:# swap index to change default card number
options snd_hda_intel index=1

Most people have intel sound IMHO but if you do not, post the output of a localuser command
but note that inxi counts from one and not zero......and post your output and we hopefully can offer better instructions

upon reboot open a terminal and repeat the command

What you should see is a change and that change should be to your analog sound device (normally intel) as per my image

Nice screensaver, I found digging around that runs on 3.0

Hello there! My laptop used to shutdown very quickly, but suddenly it slowed down. Is there anyway to bring back the quickness of it? Thanks! :-\

I removed what I thought was a duplicate from  my  repository/other  software /  list - now I can't sudo apt-get update -- and I don't even know what it was I removed. in future  will take note  of such things.

Initially this morning I was working and researching  on how to remove a duplicate  uninstalled  package  that showed up in my CLI  ever since attempting  to  install the game Smoking Guns a couple of days ago . I researched and found out how to  remove  this duplicate  successfully and along the way was sidetracked  into attempting to  install an app and ended up with a missing  key.  I experienced  a missing key after my recent  install of  LL 2.8  last week - but researched  forum and web and easily corrected that problem . Since  then , loving LL - totally seamless  integration with  everything I've installed and every sys preference / change I've made ...  until  today  .  I think what I removed may have  had ubuntu.net  in it's address line and I don't see any like that now. 
I would appreciate  some help with  this . 

after more web search  I think this may have to do with keyrings  but not sure yet .

please bear in mind I am not bash , code, scripting  etc.  literate  .    self learned / taught ---  never had benefit  of being  around  other computer  users or interacting  etc.  -  construction background -  no IT

also please let me  know what form , etc. to make any  attachments / visuals  ; ie.  , leafpad ? , copy and  paste from terminal  and so on . I do know about imgur .    just not completely sure about forum protocol
  thanks very much ,  sorry for all the bloat

I installed  Linux Lite 3.0 yesterday. it updated good for the first few times. Then got a message
couldn't fetch the package cache  then another message. with the fix below.

When I maximize the VLC screen, i.e. double click inside the VLC window, VLC does expand to full screen, but everything outside of the original size becomes blue. How do I fix this? Also, the actual "movie frame" covers everything else, i.e. if I open the terminal and it intersects with VLC, the "movie frame" is always in front.

Problem is with an LL-only desktop (and LL-only laptop, but that's not as important). Hooking up the screen (brand: HP) to my five years old Windows 7 laptop it works flawlessly.



(Bonus question: where do screenshots go?)
