  Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 [Display adapter]
Posted by: greigpj - 06-02-2016, 06:23 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (9)

I recently bought a new HP Envy 750 with built in Video Intel® HD Graphics 530 [Display adapter]
LinuxLite is running inside Virtual Box.
(I installed it on 6/1/2016)
Commend this release, reminds me of LinuxMint. I was a tinkerer but now just want my OS to work :-)

All below inside Virtual Box:
Ubuntu 16.04 Unity - Chromium and Chrome do not work (corrupted screen) Firefox works.
LinuxMint 17.3 Cinnamon - Chromium and Chrome do not work (corrupted screen) Firefox works.
LinuxLite 3 - Chromium works but when trying to play videos in Facebook, said videos are corrupt. Firefox works.

Just curious if this was a known issue as I can get buy on Firefox just fine but my preference is Chrome.

  Firefox 46.0.1 is not working well
Posted by: Ottawagrant - 06-02-2016, 05:07 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (1)

An old problem has resurfaced. I know for a fact this is NOT a Linux Lite fault. When you close Firefox and start it again quickly, it tells you that Firefox is already running. So you have to reboot the computer. It seems with each version of Firefox they either add more junk you don't want, or it crashes, or just plain buggy. As for this problem, it happened in Windows 7 & 10 on various FF versions. If I remember, the problem started with FF in the early version 30's. So if this happens to anyone just reboot your computer & then we wait for the next version of Firefox. Maybe Jerry will consider adding 'Pale Moon' to the next release of LL. - Or maybe I will, he said to himself.

  Can not boot into the live mode. LL3.0 requires a login and password
Posted by: eljazzo - 06-02-2016, 11:31 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi. I can not boot into the live mode. LL3.0 requires a login and password. What should I do?

  How do I change the password on LL 3.0?
Posted by: Monkeyman - 06-01-2016, 05:05 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

How do I change my password in LL 3.0?  I tried Menu>Settings>User Interface (something like that).  The "Change Password" button doesn't do anything.

  Problem with 'Lite Tweaks' after this morning's updates
Posted by: Ottawagrant - 06-01-2016, 01:28 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

This morning there were updates to install on our new LL 3.0. One of the updates was to 'Lite Tweaks'. There is a new addition to it for the 'number lock' problem some people get. There is a slight problem. When you run lite tweaks you are asked to enable/disable numberlock whether you select it from the list or not. When this happened the first time I selected disable, which is the correct choice. I rebooted & ran lite tweaks again to see what would happen. Even though I did not select the choice it asked me again to pick enable/disable numberlock. Slight reoccurring problem.

  QUESTION: Kernel and LTS relationship
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 06-01-2016, 11:38 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (4)

  A LTS is supported for 5 years from issue.    After that date the  user  is in freefall if he/she doesn't upgrade to next LTS?  However if user stays with an older LTS but keeps upgrading Kernel, does this extend the life if the original LTS.

The reverse scenario – Take for instance LL3.0 – if user down grades the Kernel to say 3.13 for hardware compatibility reasons, After 2019 ( when the LTS for LL2.8 expires; Kernel 3.13 being the standard for LL 2. 8) does the system  become vulnerable, assuming all updates are maintained??

I.e what is the relationship between Kernel and LTS re longevity/security./vulnerability. ??

Objective to keep older machines working (safely/ non vulnerable) for as long as possible.

PS , not sure where the emoji came from; can't seem to get rid of it.

  Don't want NumLock enabled on login screen
Posted by: jcoles - 06-01-2016, 02:45 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (10)

The 3.0 Release Announcement proudly notes, "Numlock - Is enabled at the Login screen." Evidently, some code has been added somewhere to do this. The usual keyboard settings have no influence on this behaviour.

NumLock On makes sense on a desktop keyboard with a separate numeric keypad. On a laptop keyboard, NumLock On can make a mess of your password. For example, the "U" key will emit "4". It only makes sense that by default you want alpha keys to emit alpha characters and numeric keys to emit numerics.

I'd rather not have to hit Fn-NumLk every time I start a session. How can I make sure that on my laptop my session starts with NumLock OFF?

  Release Notes link in Install doesn't lead to Release Notes
Posted by: jcoles - 06-01-2016, 01:02 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

The Release Notes link on the first Install page brings up the Linux Lite Help Manual.
It might be interesting to see the Release Notes. I couldn't find anything by that name. Perhaps you call them "Release Announcements"?

  Check Install Media - is no news good news?
Posted by: jcoles - 05-31-2016, 10:04 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

The Check Install Media function never reports whether the CD or USB drive is OK or not.
It just tells you to press any key to reboot. There should be a clear conclusion.

  Unreadable messages
Posted by: jcoles - 05-31-2016, 09:51 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Messages on the splash screen (the orange-y one with the feather) are in white text which is almost impossible to read against the light background. Only by tilting my monitor to an extreme angle can I make out anything. I thought LL was hanging on shutdown. It was waiting for me to press ENTER. I suppose this won't matter after installation, but it might trip up some newbies.

Poor contrast colour choices and GUI decisions like borderless windows will cause problems for people with less than absolutely perfect vision.
