Not seen some of the regulars misko_2083 or gold_finger or altman or N4RPS around for a while...???

I didn't install them manually or anything. I didn't upgrade them through PPA and then removed the ppa.. I didn't do anything with these packages. The only thing I did was installing and then removing libtiff4



I was installing some CANON printer drivers.

Hi guys,


I've had a fairly serious problem here for a couple of weeks. I use the Slimjet browser, which is built on Chromium. SJ usually runs a bit behind the latest Chromium release so that the author can make sure there are no conflicts with his additions to the core. This was exacerbated due to the "OK google" mess, in which google added the ability to listen to the user without telling him. That caused SJ to hold off on updating the core for several weeks until recently.


So I was fine on SJ 4.15 for a long time. But when v 5 just came out, it totally took down my LL 2.6 x64 system. I could move the mouse pointer, but nothing worked.  It would hang the GPU, especially when I tried to access certain menu functions, such as Settings or More Tools. Eventually the system would go into text mode and then crash (see pic).


I tried three different v 5 releases, and all did the same thing, though uptime went from 30 seconds to maybe 5 minutes. Uninstalling the older SJ version did not help.


I began to think my SJ profile was corrupted, so created a new one. Didn't help.


Finally I installed Chromium from the Synaptics PM. I thought the problem was solved until half an hour ago. When I went to access a text size drop-down menu in a composition box, it manifested in total black - the sign that the GPU was locking up. Surprisingly the system was able to recover from that, possibly because the menu was small. But this told me that the problem is not simply Slimjet, it is with Chromium as well.


Does anyone have any clue what is going on and what might be done about it? There are a lot of useful features in SJ that I would not like to lose. And now I'm walking on eggshells even with Chromium.


Thanks!

Hi,


Probably one for the dev's..??
A friends ask me to look at putting together a "Mini i7 PC" bare bones with LL on it.
((It's new, only 4 review's, 3 are running Linux on it.))


It's got 2 X mSATA slots, and he asked if it's possible to do a "RAID 0" set-up on them,
for improved throughput, but at the loss of redundancy. So put the OS across 2 X 120GB SSD's

i used linux lite 2.4 but due to some bugs my system was corrupt,
now its coming good cuz i had upgraded it...

just wondering why i cant change my download server?

I would like to view the active Wifi carriers with in range of my laptop . I have a Dell D620, with Broadcom 1430 card installed. I have 2 extra PCMCIA adapter cards , that I used before I solved my Broadcom problems. One is  Belkin, the other TrendNet. I used to use the Belkin supplied soft ware to do this in Win XP . Is there a Linux way to do this. Thanks Darrell.

Hi to all,
The question is: is it possible to have X11 with all libs and tools under Linux Lite.
I need to install a program, which demands such things like OSF.Motif commands, Locale, libraries, etc.
My little comp started with Linux Lite and I like it so much that expanded it with all accessible software for some functionalities from deb sources.
I have not  found X11R6 in the available binaries in the sources.
So perhaps it should be compiled from source, and installed in some place like /usr/local.
Has anyone tried, succeeded or failed, or has any idea on the topic or experience how to have full X11R6 in Linux Lite?
Asking for you help,
Jerzy

According to Wikipedia, "The developers' current stance is that the initialism [Xfce] no longer stands for anything specific."  I say it should stand for:

X11 Funky Cold Environment

Just to give you all some notice, our web host is deploying a major PHP upgrade, details below:

Quote:The upgrade maintenance window will occur on Oct 14, between the hours of 4:00pm - 12:00am MDT. There will be a brief period where Apache will not be reachable as services are restarted after the upgrades. The estimated downtime will be no more than 15 minutes.

The Forum, our Screenshots and Bugs sections all use PHP, and all of our online services of course use Apache. This will not affect our repository. I'm not anticipating any major calamity, but hey, it's computers, never say never
