  Desktop crashes after flash player fullscreen
Posted by: UltraCookie - 05-03-2015, 08:30 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

When I go into fullscreen on a flash video in Firefox and want to leave fullscreen the desktop crashes completely.
I can hit the lock key and get to the login screen but when I log back in the display turns black again.

It only happens with the flash player (the the shockwave flash plugin?). HTML5 player and VLC work fine.

  [Solved] How do I move the panel from the bottom of the screen to the top?
Posted by: Lend27 - 05-03-2015, 05:20 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

I checked the panel preferences and it doesnt seem to give an option to move to the top.
I see horizontal, vertical, and deskbar. Is there a way to just move it to the top?

Thanks!

  How do you remove LL safely from a UEFI enabled LL/Win8.1 dual boot setup
Posted by: m654321 - 05-03-2015, 06:28 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Don't worry - I am not about to leave LL...  Sometimes though (actually, quite a lot recently!!), I've had to remove LL from the above setup and reinstall it from scratch to set up the dual boot again. Is deleting the LL partition, either through win8.1's Disk Management or through LL's Gparted, enough i.e. does it constitute 'safe removal'...  for example would a registry cleaner need to be run for win8.1 to fix any possible registry problems that might be incurred following LL deletion?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Mike

  Old Macbook won't wake from sleep
Posted by: belltoes - 05-02-2015, 06:01 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Hi there,

I have Linux Lite installed on an old 2006 Macbook and it won't wake from sleep when I close the lid. When the lid opens, the login screen shows briefly, then the monitor seems to turn off. (It seems as though the monitor is off when the lid is closed as well, so the screen does come on for a few seconds to show the log in screen). I have to then hold the power button and the computer shuts down. Then I have to press it again to turn on the computer.

I've only been able to find things related to nvidia drivers for Macbook Pro, but this machine has integrated graphics.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

  Teamviewer will not autostart
Posted by: kjacobs - 05-02-2015, 04:03 PM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I just built a new clean Linux Lite 2.4 machine and installed Teamviewer from the Lite Software installer. I cannot seem to get it to autostart at system boot as it should after checking marking the autostart option. This works on my main desktop LL machine. However, Teamviewer was installed on this machine prior to running the 2.4 upgrade.....whereas the new machine is a fresh install of LL2.4

Any thoughts as to why TV will not autostart and how to get that working? ???

Thanks,
Ken

  Firefox crashes constantly
Posted by: topsy - 05-02-2015, 06:37 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

When I installed Linuxlite 2.4 recently, everything seemed alright. I decided to update the system. After doing so, Firefox

was totally unstable and crashed often. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I install the older Firefox? SadIt seems that

Firefox crashes only when I access my Internet Provider (i.e. telus.com). Is there any reason for this? I thank you for the 3

replies. BTW, my system tells me the CLI commands offered do not exist!  topsy.

  New User - Need some desktop Icon help please
Posted by: Lend27 - 04-30-2015, 05:10 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (12)

How can I restore the original desktop icon theme? I don't like the balloons around the text. Somehow I changed them playing with appearance.
Also, where are the original desktop wallpapers located?

Thanks!

I absolutely love this distro. The absolute best I have tried. I have been able to do everything I need.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into this!  It really shows!

  Win8.1 OS (C:) partition refuses to shrink!
Posted by: m654321 - 04-30-2015, 10:14 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (14)

I have to copies of my original win8.1 OS, thankfully, as the original one doesn't work.
On the 250GB SSD is the following:
900MB recovery partition
100MB EFI System Partition
231.78GB OS (CSmile NTFS

I need to shrink C: so that I have some space for an LL2.4 reinstall. The shrink tool under Disk Management doesn't seem to work, or at least is indicating that no space is available for shrinking.  This is strange as I did it before, and the windows shrink tool usually allows up to a 50% shrinkage to generate free space. Can I, instead shrink under an LL live environment, using GParted to do the job for me?

Thanks for any help
Mike

  Should I install a swap partition on an SSD?
Posted by: m654321 - 04-30-2015, 05:23 AM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (5)

I've seen one or two sources on the internet say that creating a swap partition on an SSD is inadvisable, as it would shorten the life of the SSD significantly due to the continual rewrites.  I am a bit sceptical about this, as when my LL laptop is configured correctly, it hardly uses much swap.  Also on my setups swap areas are never more than 4 to 10 GB in size, so the purported wear-n-tear would be only on a limited area (2-5% of the total size) for a drive that is around 250 GB total size.  I'd appreciate your views...

Many thanks
Mike
