Hi Folks,
I am trying to install the Huawei 3G modem drivers for Linux on LL2.4 but have encountered a few problems:
1: If I follow the instruction doc that comes with the drivers, It tells me to go to root, and initialise or open a SuperUser command. That asks me for a password, which I have tried using my password for but it does not accept it. Is there a default SU password, and if so what is it? Alternately, How do I set up a Super User password?
2: I have a Huawei E1750 3G usb modem. Is there another way to install this from the windows software on the modem, maybe using Wine? or do I have to install the linux drivers as I found on the Net?
3: My last question has nothing to do with the above issue, but rather has to do with software availability for Linux. Where can I find a good free schematic drawing and PCB layout program for Linux, or does such a beast not exist?

Best Regards
V.

I installed the 64bit version of LL as Draftsight no longer supports 32 bit.  However, the mouse does not move on the CAD screen properly - it seems to lag to the extent that it's unusable.  This may just be a problem with Draftsight but if there is anything I can do in Linux Lite I'd appreciate it.  I'm using a Lenovo X-130e laptop with a Logitech mouse.  Thanks.

In order to yet improve Linux Lite support services,
a reasonable time frame should be stated for how long users have to respond to dev's questions.
Considering how well documented Linux Lite has become, forum guidelines can reach this high standard.
Users are also unpaid and are here in good faith and should be given a reasonable amount of time to respond.
Let's work to make Linux Lite  a better user / supporter experience by avoiding management mistakes of other distros.
Thank you.

Hi
Following commands supplied by Atlassian (trying to install Confluence), all of my packages have been removed. The command given was:-
sudo apt-get -purge remove apparmor apparmor-utils libapparmor-perl libapparmor1

The -purge command was give an error message by the system so I retyped without. The system did ask whether I was sure and again but as I was disabling a firewall I thought this was normal. However all of my apt-get packages were removed.

Is there an easy way for me to put back the standard packages without overwriting any particular setup created by jetbrains TeamCity which is installed and has not been backed up prior to this incident. I have used Clonezilla to do an image backup of the drive, so all will not be lost if mistakes are made.

Looking to "convert" a family member to LL. However they are concerned as to whether they can get their Pixma MP495 to work ( scan & print) Also the  original "non linux" software has utilities that instructs the Pixma to clean and maintain the jets on the ink cartridges and then carry out print test routines. -  Does anyone know whether the linux package for these Canon  "all in ones" has the same maintenance options for keeping the cartridges clean etc?  Thanks.

I have not been able to find a solution to a problem in which the Whisker Menu Button Disappears when dragging a window button on the panel.
The problem has been reported by another XFCE user in a Youtube video:

Hi all. Thought I might try the crosshair cursor. Could not seem to change it over. I did a search but came up empty. Thanks .......

So you can pre order the new Intel Compute Stick with Ubuntu 14.04.

They have a higher spec version, seems they only do it with Win8.1.

I got a little excited over a LL Media Centre...
Somebody's tried putting Mint/Fedora on the 2GB version.
Apparently a note in the BIOS for Win8.1 & Ubuntu Only

I have a need to be able to map a serial port to an IP address. The situation is a Linux lite machine connected via USB to a GPS, this machine is connected to a router via Ethernet, a laptop is connected to this router via WiFi. The laptop needs to get the GPS data via an IP port. In windows this can be done using virtual serial port emulator. The laptop is not a problem, the Linux lite machine on the Ethernet is where I need a solution. Have tried without success to use serial port to network proxy.. Any ideas please?

Solution to fix broken HTML5 MP3 and M4A Firefox audio in Linux Lite, Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Gnome, Ubuntu-Mate and Lubuntu

Test sites: (1) https://html5test.com/
(2) http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/
(3) http://www.gooplusplus.com/jukebox

SYNAPTIC - add gstreamer1.0-libav (or gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly)
or Ubuntu Software Center - add Gstreamer extra plugins

BTW, Xubuntu and Kubuntu Firefox HTML5 audio already works fine and plays MP3 and M4A files (instead of downloading).
