Hello from Staffordshire Just downloaded lite 2 to my samsung netbook its like having a new machine,

I just installed Wine and was able to play a Windows (.exe file) game (nothing big).  When I exited the game, I found that the desktop resolution had changed (would have been good had I been 50 feet away ) and I couldn't access the taskbar.  I had to reboot to get back to normal.  What would have caused this and how can I avoid it in the future?  I have a few things I'd like to run using Wine.

Thanks!

I have tried installing from HDD and a bootable USB drive still no joy.
Any ideas guys

Still using LL 2.0 and having no problems. Have not been posting but reading posts mostly from notices from RSS feed. 

Hi!

It's my first time using linux and I know nothing about driver installing.

I have an issue with the display resolution (it gives me no video options) and just found out there's actually an incompatibility between some Ubuntu-based distros and the SiS Graphic Cards, specially the 771/671 version.

For some versions of Ubuntu I found the support, but simply couldn't understand it!!!

Does anyone knows if Linux Lite 2.0 has any kind of bug fix, update or anything that could be done to install this SiS graphic card driver?
And, if so, would anyone please try to explain it in a way that a linux begginer completely dummy could understand? =D

Thanks a lot!
Sorry for the bad english..

My computer is a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 desktop with 2GB ram, model HP t741.uk.  I installed LL 1.0.8 earlier this year, dual booting with Windows XP, and it worked very well.

I recently installed LL 2.0 as a clean install, without the Windows dual boot.  The system has now become very slow.  There is a time lag between keyboard input and text appearing on the screen; the mouse pointer does not move smoothly, there is a time lag when scrolling, etc.

I have used the same install disk to put LL 2.0 on another old PC (Dell) with a similar spec, but only 1 GB of ram, and it works perfectly well.  I have also tried a clean install of Peppermint 5 on the HP machine and experienced the same problems as with LL 2.0.

I'm no expert, but I suspect that the problem may be caused by the BIOS.  The machine originally had a recovery partition.  The HP website says that only BIOS updates from HP, rather than the motherboard manufacturer, should be installed, but they only provide BIOS software for Windows operating systems.  The recovery partition was deleted when I installed LL 2.0.

A  system report is attached.

Can anybody help, please?

I noticed this recent png optimization to the help manual:

Hi, all.  I'm a relative Linux noob from Indiana.  I tried a version of Ubuntu a while back and couldn't get the hang of it so I reverted to Win7.  Figured I'd try Linux again with Linux Lite.  Got it installed and already having problems (I set the taskbar/panel to autohide and it won't, even after a reboot).  Hellova thing to be frustrated right out of the box.  Anyway, I'll give this a shot.

The printer worked from startup but it does not function properly. When I look at the printer properties I get a very shortened menu that reflects none of the extensive properties for this printer. I tried re-installing all the drivers from the software centre but there was no change:

This is a screen shot as it is now:



Cannot get one as it was before but there were many more than 20 different settings, including a fast ink-saving option.

Any ideas please?
