  LibreOffice Menu Removal
Posted by: officer1996 - 02-28-2016, 11:08 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (5)

Did a purge of LibreOffice but still has menu entries.  Since I'm a newbie to Linux I need somebody to walk me through the process of using Terminal commands to purge the entries from my menu.

  Is there a better driver?
Posted by: FOM - 02-28-2016, 06:04 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (9)

I love Linuxlite!  Need help with an issue. Google Earth worked on this PC with XP Home a month ago, but since being overwritten by Linuxlite it doesn't. Google pop-up says this Pc's graphics card does not meet the minimum specs for Google Earth.... I'm thinking if if it worked in XP, it can work in Linuxlite.
This is the system info for my video card:

Code:
  *-display
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       physical id: 2
       bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
       version: 02
       width: 32 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
       configuration: driver=i915 latency=0
       resources: irq:16 memory:e8000000-efffffff memory:feb80000-febfffff ioport:ed98(size=8)

I'm hoping there is a better driver or something. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Jerry

  CPU Sometimes Only 1 of the 2 cores is shown to be working in Htop.
Posted by: TuxInAGalaxy - 02-28-2016, 03:09 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Hi Guys I made a video showing something I found weird.  I know this is the linux lite forums, and it is currently the Linux distro I'm using.  But in the videos I had to bring up two other distros to make the point.  I'm not sure how to search for this issues.  That's why I'm posting it this way. 

They are about how sometimes it appears that I loose one half of my processor.  It happened under Manjaro xfce, never happened under Mint Xfce.  And now that I switched to Linux lite 2.6 xfce, it's happening again.  If you guys know anything about this, please let me know.

  More free games
Posted by: FOM - 02-27-2016, 07:10 AM - Forum: Games Support - Replies (8)

Looking for an additional selection of free games for this low powered system. I downloaded the games from the 'lite software' option. They are nice, but I'm hoping there is a lot more somewhere. Perhaps some older legacy games that would have some action and would have been made to work on this system. Even PacMan would help.https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/Smile...smiley.gif

  gparted fails to open in LL2.8
Posted by: m654321 - 02-26-2016, 02:01 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Not sure what's wrong. Need some help with this.  I tried opening gparted, and after entering the requested password simply fails to materialise, even though it is on my setup as confirmed by synaptic package manager.  Haven't had this problem before.  Maybe linked to recently upgrading to LL2.8? 

I've tried both the GUI and terminal route - neither works. 

Any help is much appreciated

Mike

  LastPass Security Flaw "LostPass"
Posted by: WestX64 - 02-25-2016, 07:42 PM - Forum: Security & Bug Fixes - No Replies

Hello everyone, I came across several news articles today about a LastPass vulnerability that I wanted to ensure everyone was aware of.  Here is one of the articles detailing the matter:

http://betanews.com/2016/01/16/lastpass-...passwords/

Just ensure that if your LastPass is asking you to login, that it's asking it in an actual pop-up window and not within the browser itself.

I have installed new mouse cursor themes but the system will not allow me to change to them. I have searched the forums for this problem first. Any thoughts please?           :-\

Managed to install LL2.8 this afternoon (with minimal fuss) but can't seem to upgrade from the Control-Center or the CLI, anyone else having this problem?
