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 @ $7.00/£5.00)
Device info:
dave@jetway0:~$ lspci | grep 8723
03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network AdapterAfter 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:
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
rebootThen:
gksu leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf#To "disable" certain power saving features which can cause dropouts
options rtl8723be fwlps=0 ips=0Important reminder, If you update kernel to less <3.16 , you will need to re-compile.
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.
I just found this article on zdnet: Seagate drives at risk of data theft over hidden 'root' account. The article is at the following link.

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.
Hi, everyone,
I have encountered the problem after install the Linuxlite 2.4 on my Intel Broadwell system.
1.The eDP audio has no sound on my system.
2.S3 resume encounter the black screen symptom.
OS : linux lite 2.4
CPU : i3-5010U
GPU : Intel HD Graphics 5500
If anyone knows about this issue, please help on it.
Thanks.
I recently setup two Linux Lite 2.6 machines (one 32bit, one 64bit).
When attempting to install updates today, on both machines, the update dialogs got stuck on:
"Processing triggers for menu (2.1.46ubuntu1)..."
Any ideas why this might happen? The only choice I have is to cancel, and it's been like almost a half hour.

So from me, heres to the next 3 years and beyond...

I expect (though I have not been able to find it) that this info is elsewhere. If so, please let me know and I can delete it.
Nothing too complicated here, but I spent a bit of time finding this out, so maybe it will help someone. I prefer a terminal background that is fairly transparent. I makes it easier for me to see what's in the background ... which for me as I become more comfortable with using the terminal - is a web page telling me what I need to do or enter in the terminal. There are certainly other ways to do it, but it boils down to preference. So,
> Click on and open the terminal in the panel (default lxterminal).
> Then in the choices at the top select: Edit.
> Select Preferences.
> Then you have a button for "background", click on that.
> You are now able to choose a different color AND there is a slider to choose: Opacity.
> Do so, then click "OK".
> Click "OK" again to close the dialog ... Done!
You might want to choose a different foreground (text) color or font while you are at it.

I have not found a topic yet here similar to this issue so here it goes-
In Thunar file manager, on the left pane I added to "places", 5 network shared folders or "shortcuts".
(screenshot is missing folder #1 from trying to remove)
These folders are no longer in use since i have reconfigured my home server.
-I right click and "remove shortcut" and they go away, until the next boot where they reappear.
-I have tried not saving session, disconnected from network and they remain after every boot.
Here is a screenshot- ![[Image: Screenshot_09222015_02_09_44_PM.jpg]](http://s5.postimg.org/z2m721ng3/Screenshot_09222015_02_09_44_PM.jpg)
Anyone come accross this before ? any suggestions ? I will keep googling......(I'm only finding how to add)
