  [SOLVED] Broadcom, Possible Solution
Posted by: Scott(0) - 10-11-2014, 02:57 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

Edit (20June15):
This thread is solved in the spirt that it doesn't appear to work. If you try this approach please post your results if you have time. Thank you. ~Scott


The video below (from PuppyLinux) illustrates this but here it is in three steps.

1. Install LL 2
2. Run system-updates (no reboot)
3. Install drivers (reboot)

It seems installing the Broadcom drivers without rebooting after the initial system-update will prevent the system-update process from breaking the wireless drivers.

This approach worked here but will it work for other hardware? I have no way to test this. Can anyone confirm this works?

  Replacing VLC
Posted by: Alex - 10-10-2014, 01:10 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

I know that most people love this player, I am one of the few that is not enamored with it (for example it is hard to get it to play .mkv files or HD movies)

Is it possible to replace it as the default player with another one on my system?

  Lockup
Posted by: Alex - 10-10-2014, 01:04 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (10)

My system has frozen up/lockedup twice in the last week probably from trying to do too many things at the same time, it's not a worry.

But what the problem is that I really don't know what to do - in Win I used to hit ctrl/alt /delete and there fix the problem. I have tried I few things on LL (ctrl/alt/bckspace etc) but the best result has been a redirection to the terminal...then I have no idea how to proceed.

A GUI interface similar to the one on Win would be helpful to dummies like me...

Folks we are having to move a lot of Topics out of On Topic to the appropriate Support section.

Please use either:


[size=2em]Software - Support[/size]


or:


[size=2em]Hardware - Support[/size]


for Linux Lite Support.

  [SOLVED] Mounting Puzzle
Posted by: bobw - 10-09-2014, 12:28 PM - Forum: Hard Drives and SSDs - Replies (3)

I am mounting an external hard drive with the label CNM DRIVE, which I use for local backups.  When I mount it by right-clicking the desktop icon or by navigating to it in Thunar, it is mounted with a path that includes a folder named CNM DRIVE. For instance, this is the path to the drive's Documents folder:
/media/bobw/CNM DRIVE/Documents/

I cannot find a way of replicating this mount using a command line in the terminal or the root crontab.  When I mount it this way, I get, for instance, the path:
/media/bobw/Documents/

I want the path to be consistent (preferably including the CNM DRIVE folder).  Can anybody help, please?
