:o  I have Ubuntu 14.04, I need 14:10,  Software Update informs me that 15.04 is available but it will not install.  I cleared all the items on the update page, the update program came up but then could not install.  Also I am having issues installing updates on a daily basis.  What can be done to fix this issue? Thanks!

Video format or MIME type is not supported.

Restricted Extras are installed. It works on Ubuntu, but doesn't on this Linux Lite machine.

Browsers are both Firefox. Many HTML5 videos work (like YouTube etc...), but some don't.

EDIT: Nevermind... It seems Privacy Badger is the problem.

I'm running Linux Lite 2.6 (64bit)
I am going to install some applications, such as: Mega, CrossOver, Teamviewer, so are those stuff able to install and work as well as running on Ubuntu 14.04?
Thanks.

Hi from a newbie - here and to LL and to Linux in general.
I have searched here and googel'd for a way to make the borders of any and all windows wider; the dafault width makes resizing very difficult.
Certainly this has been answered before but I am too limited to find the answer.
Any helpful pointer will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I have my Panel in the default location (on the bottom of the screen).  When I open a YouTube video to full screen, is there a way to have the full screen area to be everything but the Panel?

This is for information. (mods, if in wrong place, you can move it)


I was having an issue with 2X RTL8723BE WiFi devices,
Intermittent loss of connections/slowness after a few hours after boot. (they where cheap @ $7.00/£5.00)
Device info:

Code:
dave@jetway0:~$ lspci | grep 8723 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter


After research it appears it was added in Kernel 3.16, given I have 3.13 and is working fine, I looked for an alternative.
I found the following in a number of references, and after 5.0 days no more drop-outs or slowness occured.



First Install Driver:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git cd rtlwifi_new make sudo make install reboot



Then:
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
and then add:
Code:
#To "disable" certain power saving features which can cause dropouts options rtl8723be fwlps=0 ips=0


Important reminder, If you update kernel to less <3.16 , you will need to re-compile.
Code:
cd rtlwifi_new make clean make sudo make install sudo modprobe rtl8723be



"NOTE: This code will build on any kernel 3.0 and newer. It includes the following drivers"
rtl8192ce, rtl8192se, rtl8192de, rtl8188ee, rtl8192ee, rtl8723ae, rtl8723be, and rtl8821ae

Hello Everybody, Does anyone knows if there is way to install LL but without trying, I mean, a poor installation, I want to insert my usb and start the installation. Is that possible? How can I do that? Thanks.

So after today's update, I got this...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-63-generic
mktemp: failed to create file via template ‘/var/tmp/mkinitramfs-FW_XXXXXX’: No such file or directory
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-63-generic with 1.

I even tried to install new kernel and they won't get configured (and now I cannot remove them). I tried some tutorial on internet and no luck :/

I did "sudo leafpad /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf" and disabled update_initramfs here, because I was said that my system wouldn't boot otherwise...

Any help?

I'm not able to select my 1TB usb external hard drive as the storage directory for Systemback.  I know we've addressed potentially replacing the backup program (Deja Dup) with Systemback, but until I'm able to do the aforementioned, I say leave Deja Dup in the build.
