  How do I remove Google Search Engine Bar from Mozilla Firefox?
Posted by: m654321 - 09-04-2014, 06:24 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

Firefox (or rather Mozilla-Firefox) is my default browser. However, when I click the '+' (new tab) on my Firefox browser, the Google toolbar appears, and lists any searches I make in my default Firefox! 

I'd rather not have Google at all, in any shape or form in Firefox.  Is it possible to remove it or is it inextricably embedded in Firefox.  Therefore, can I remove Google from my Firefox browser?  Is it possible using command line?   

Many thanks in advance for any help on this.
Kind regards
Mike

  Mobile Broadband Connection doesn't work (USB adapter Olivetti Olicard 300)
Posted by: tommy - 09-03-2014, 04:17 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (9)

Hi eveyone, i've recently bought a mobile broadband adapter, the model is "olivetti 21.1"
First i tried to setup the adapter using the native network manager, i added a new connection and i choosed "mobile broadband" as type.
In the next dialog window,(note that i'm not able to choose the device i want to use to create a connection), i go to the next steps then i complete every step till the end of setup but my usb adapter doesn' connect. (The light on the usb is green which means the sim and the signal are ok).
[Image: Screenshot_09032014_05_32_09_PM.png]

As second try, i've googled for something similar to my problem and someone seemed to fix the issue unistalling modemmanager, (so did i) and using sakis 3g, but i can't connect even with it, as after settin up modem and choosing the interface #2 the program prints out "modem respondend ERROR while checking for PIN"

When i plug in the usb adapter the OS doesn't mount it and apparently it's not possible to do it, so i'm thinking the problem is linked to this. Here i post my lsusb output:

Code:

My USB broadban adapter ID is 2020:4000.

Can anyone help me? I've just discovered linux lite and i love it, i don't want to use another OS just to make this usb adapter work.

  No guest account available on the login screen
Posted by: vdquynh - 09-03-2014, 05:42 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (6)

Hi,

I just made a fresh install of Linux Lite 2.0. I kept everything as default, with Linux Lite user's name = linuxlite.
I have tried adding a guest account like it is available in default installation of Ubuntu. After some search I finished by editing the file /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/40-lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf and changed the last line "allow-guest=false" to "allow-guest=true", so that the content of the file is as follows:

[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter
user-session=xfce
autologin-user=linux
allow-guest=true

I saved the file and restarted the PC. However at the login screen I could not choose the guest account as only the linuxlite account is available for logging in.

How is it possible to have at the login screen the choice between the linuxlite default user account and the guest account?

Thanks.

I don't even really know where to put this, but just did a fresh install of 2.0 from 1.0.4, anyway the time and date is showing up very strange as you can tell in the picture I have provided.

Any insight on this?

and, it stayed at this a long time without further progress:

and.

I don't remember modifying anything...but who knows? Why doesn't the OS just fix the problem? If not what do I do?

Being used to Windows i ran a virus check:

They all seem to be associated with Wine:

I am really not sure if they have anything to do with the error message.

Thanks for your help Smile

  Taskbar won't stay auto hidden
Posted by: Monkeyman - 09-01-2014, 11:52 AM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (10)

I decided to bring this over from my introduction thread to see if I can't get some more help.

I installed Linux Lite 2.0 a few days ago.  I tried a couple other distros in the past with little success.  (I don't like the terminal.)  I'm having a couple issues with LL with the major one being the taskbar.  I like to auto hide it so I can see the entire window I'm working in.  The problem is that it won't stay auto hidden.  It'll stay auto hidden for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours but eventually, it will stay hidden, no matter what I do.  I've tried as many different combinations of options within the panel preferences as there are with little luck.  If I reboot, I get the auto hide function working again.

At this point, I'm pretty well frustrated and ready to revert to Windows.  I hope someone can help me figure this out.
