Installed LL about a year ago now, tried a few flavors mostly Ubuntu based, really liking it.
I've looked through the forums many a times - but recently created an account and a few posts, thought it be time to formally say 'Hello'

Been using Windows since 3.1 and supporting since Win98. I like the day to day of LL is easy to use (familiar) and yet the behind the scenes is a little tricky (still noobish ). I don't think my 9 or 7 year olds really know the difference. Lots of good info and people on here.

Hope I can help where I can and learn along the way!!!

How's it goin' eh? Hi from Canada, where all the men are hockey players, all the women are beautiful, and ever single child is slightly above average

And I'm not the only Peterborough resident to switch to Lite on our older machines. Two at our Linux PLUG have. My 'gift' laptop had Vista on it originally, and this Distro really brings it to life. And Lite always worked well in VMWare, for anyone who hasn't yet tried it.

Polished, easy to work with, solid, quick. Thanks to all those who work so hard day after day to keep it going. Looking forward to just using it and not spending hours tinkering.

Buster in Peterborough.

After installing Linux lite I gained a machine on my network called LAPPY should I be concerned ? I love everything else about Linux Lite & want to stick with it but don't like the appearance on a new machine on my network that I haven't named myself!

Moving my posts from the ASUS thread to a new.

My issue is that I received a blank screen after closing the lid (hibernating) of my netbook.
This 1st post will be lengthy as I wanted to capture the majority of the original thread - lots of good info from misko_2083..

Since its a "laptop" I want to close the lid or after X time have it hibernate after a screen saver. After waking from hibernate , I see the log on screen I can log in then black... Rebooting corrects until the next time.

I've read that it could be lightdm (I think how it was referenced) and/or the screen saver..
I used the following workaround when I want to hibernate..
In terminal (does require root)

Code:

sudo pm-hibernate

I typically leave a terminal window up just having to up arrow to the last command. If I put into hibernate, I have no issues waking.

One of these days I'm going to chase the cause down.... But the above works for the time being.

On some hardware putting the video card in the suspend state and recovering from it needs some special quirk handling.
Read the manual.
try running sudo pm-suspend with some of the quirks
For example:
or
or
All the quirks:
The trick is finding the right combination. It could be just one parameter or several.
When you find the right quirk. Test your system to see if all is running OK.

From the manual, to save it create a file in /etc/pm/config.d/
Name it anyway you like.
containing to make the quirk stick. Just use the parameters that work for you.
Which quirk works depends on your hardware, kernel, driver, KMS settings and the probably the phase of the moon.
Save. After reboot it should work.
You can put the pc to suspend without sudo with dbus-send.

I hear ya, lol  ;D
Issue is with Dell Mini with Intel video, my other Dell with SIS all seems to work fine (I don't close a lid but still sleeps/hibernate)..

Is there a way to see what fails or doesn't initialize - debug or something, I sometimes wonder if its not the driver too..
Just a thought..

Testing a quirk seems to work initially but after creating the "my-quirk" file it no longer works..
Does the my-quirk file need referenced in a script or ?? (Like adding to grub to activate the file - just as an example)
Can the quirk file have multiple lines of parameters like:
Or should I have a separate my-quirk for each function
I know I can string additional quirks on a line

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

Is this another way to suspend the vs pm-suspend? I tested with by closing the lid

Thanks again!!

Try

Code:

sudo update-grub

Remember to use the quotes " "
Just add parameters without the command
Should work with all pm-utils

Code:

ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore"

Code:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

This is another way, very usefull because it doesn't need sudo.

Thought I'd update.....
This issue is weird  I've tried a few quirks individually... Some "seem" to work but only once...
The only suspends the system - which the system doesn't seem to have to a problem waking from - only a lid closed hibernate.

I can add a quirk/update grub - close lid the system hibernates no problems - after a few I'll press power to wake, I get GRUB, it "thinks" feather bar, shows a tty screen for a second then the log on prompt. - which.. The big IF..
If I get the "this session is locked - redirecting" screen pop up, which then comes back to same log on = it will work..
If it stays on the log on screen and I log on - goes black, needs to be rebooted.
- thus far it seems to work the 1st time after a reboot, after a 2nd hibernate goes black.

I've disabled light locker was able to wake and go thru "waking" and directly to desktop (no log on prompt)

I'm still testing  8) ..

Weird stuff. There is a known issue with lightdm-webkit-greeter that's where the popup window is coming from.
We should change a greeter eventualy. Probably with LL 3.0.
This command will put the comp to hibernation:
As for new thread question, please do so. Opening a new thread would help some folks with the same hardware.
This is Asus EEE1025 thread.

Again hoping this captures the essence of the information - trying not to duplicate too many of the quotes...

Hello

I can't change name and Last Name in Mugshot.



The other issue is this: I created a new user, and when I logon on it, I try to change the wallpaper with one located in /home/"username"/Pictures, but it's no possible. The  wallpapers are in it, but they are not selectable.

Please help me, I'm trying to install Linux Lite in a 10 PC's classroom.

Would like a low profile one.  Dual or single band is ok.  Preferably something that'll be relatively plug and play with Linux Lite.

I was on our Google Analytics page today and one thing stood out like a sore thumb. We had 1000's of errors in regards to the way Google crawls our site using a mobile device.

This isn't related to Tapatalk because that is a mobile app. I'm referring to how your web browser on your mobile device renders the Forums.

In an effort to improve our visual within Google, I've decided to included a 'mobile specific theme' for the Forums. It's a paid theme which costs us $20 a year, pretty good for what you get I think. Now when you open up the Linux Lite Forums on your mobile device's web browser, it should look a little something like this (notice I've integrated the theme colour):









Of course, you can still use Tapatalk if you like. It's all about giving choices

When I use the steam client to browse the store, viewing trailers will almost always cause my entire system to become unresponsive. While I can still move the mouse, I can't click on anything. CTRL ALT DEL brings up the log out buttons, but I can't click on them either.

Games themselves perform great.

(Note: My specs on this Dell Laptop is very, very similar to Spatry's Laptop Specs, nearly identical.)


Yes, my laptop is one of those that has some useless switchable back covers behind the screen. I've never bought any covers and don't plan to because I simply don't care. I use the stock one that came with the laptop. The factory box describes my back cover colour as "Diamond Black". (Doesn't look as good as it sounds, to be honest, but still a good laptop overall.)

Also used occasionally as a background music machine for my job live-streaming commercial-free Icecast / Shoutcast radio streams. Has a S/PDIF (Optical) 5.1 Surround Audio output used on a Harman/Kardon A/V Receiver. Creates static free and crisp high quality sound!

It has a gear-operated door cover that covers the DVD Drive, Floppy Drive (or optional 9 in 1 Media Card Reader for SD Cards, Memory Stick, CompactFlash, etc.), 3.5 mm Audio Jacks, Firewire 400, and 2 USB 2.0 Ports. This is with it open.

July 11th, 2014 - I took a 512 MB RAM stick out on the Dell Dimension because it had failed. It had a rather serious problem where that particular RAM stick prevented ANY and ALL Linux Distros from installing or in some cases, even booting, on it, every single time [Kernel Panics]. Even Windows 7 and 8 would fail right in the middle of the installation process (Blue Screen Of Death) every single time. Who knew a RAM stick could cause so much trouble.
