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 Smile

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.

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.)

This is my spare machine I use for testing all kinds of Linux distros and previews of Windows. A quick machine considering its age. 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.

Hello All,
I want to connect my phone natively to LL if possible, rather than the AirDroid route.
I have followed various items on LL forum and else where on the web.


When I plug in the phone it imeadiately gets recognised "Samsung Android", and I can double click to mount it... BUT
All the folders are "owned by root" , looks like a "permissions issue.?? See picture below.
Lot's of googling do not give me any pointers to this... Some comments/observations.


I checked/enabled Groups:  Audio , plugdev , fuse


It does not seem to be mounted in the usual: /media or /mnt .?? in the address bar is:  mtp://[usb:002,004]/phone/


The file:  /lib/udev/rules.d/69-mtp.rules , looks to be correct from all examples found

Code:
ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="6860", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1", TAG+="uaccess"


The found references to a:  /lib/udev/rules.d/51-android.rule configuration file, I do not have this, but it maybe for Android development.


I found a reference to edit fuse.conf to remove # from before the:  #user_allow_other
Code:
#/etc/fuse.conf - Configuration file for Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) #Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users. #The default is 1000. #mount_max = 1000 # Allow non-root users to specify the allow_other or allow_root mount options. user_allow_other


Finally:
Code:
dave@hp-lappy1:~$ sudo dmesg | tail [  788.411732] cdc_acm 2-1:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device [  998.363004] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 5 [ 1029.722860] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd [ 1029.739705] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04e8, idProduct=6860 [ 1029.739716] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1029.739726] usb 2-2: Product: SAMSUNG_Android [ 1029.739735] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: SAMSUNG [ 1029.739738] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 23c3f76c [ 1029.741045] cdc_acm 2-2:1.1: This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem. [ 1029.741190] cdc_acm 2-2:1.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device


Any ideas/comments welcome.

Hi all, been a avid fan of LL for a long time, and after much frustration with other distro's once again l find myself installing LL Smile great to see it has come on leaps and bounds since l last ran LL.

Love the out of the box experience, the no nonsense approach to software install and updates.

I no longer have the time to tweak a OS and l really need it to work out of the box, insteps LL, covers all my needs and keeps me away from W10.

Most of the games that l play within the W10 environment are now covered within Linux, be it Minecraft (ye l know, a man of my age!), Warthunder or WoT.

Running stable on my main PC and also my Media laptop with Linux 3.13.0-62-generic, (Kernel 4.2 did not like Nvidia on the Acer Aspire), looking to push it onto my mobile laptop when l get time.

Great work.

Regards

C.

Hi

Brand new to this.

Finally installed Linux Lite onto spare machine to use as a backup  for other PCS and maybe a server.

I have my main machine and the linux lite machine feeding to one monitor through a vga switch.  since installing linux lite when I switch to my main PC and then back to the linux lite machine I have no display.  This wasnt the case when I ran Windows on the old machine.

Can anyone give me a fix?

Cheers

Ive two iMacs. The newer one is easy to set up wifi under Liteos (has hidden wifi option) but Liteos on my older imac doesn't have this setting.

I just thought its probably older wifi so doesn't get detected...but if I run LXLE on the older iMac the hidden wifi option appears...and sets it up easily.

Can I find out what apts or extras are in LXLE that I can install in Liteos to make this work?
