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!

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

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.

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!

Len

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

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

Both on the I5-4460 and the I5-560m when changing desktops chrome/uim glitches. Under Xubuntu with the same hardware it does not happen. Have there been any x11/X.org changes made on linux lite that would account for this?

I am looking for something to convert mkv files to mp4.
I am new to linnux and coming from windows xp os I am lost here, I have been trying to find something, I thought handbrake would do that but it doesn't give me any options(that I can find) to pick what format it encodes to.

Thanks in advance

Dear Linux Lite Community,

I am relatively new to Linux Lite. But I noticed a rather unconvenient issue with the Network Manager. If I am connected to the WiFi and I close my laptop lid and then reopen it to resume my work, it is not able to reconnect to the WiFi again. The only solution is to restart my laptop  :'(.  This is rather time consuming to restart everytime. Does anybody has the same Problem?

Hier is the result of :

sudo lshw -C network

I tried several fixes on the internet, but none of them worked.

here a one of the approaches I tried:

-) sudo gedit /etc/pm/config.d/config
add SUSPEND_MODULES="ath9k"
