  Forum Search Box Colours
Posted by: Colin23erk - 07-15-2014, 04:41 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (4)

Could the Forum  Search Box colours be changed to easy to read ones . Preferably to good old Black Font on a White background so people with sight problems can see what is written .
I may be old and therefore old fashioned but its another case of style over content that designers throw at us forgetting their users needs .

  Adjusting Screen brightness
Posted by: Colin23erk - 07-14-2014, 12:27 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (15)


On the Xfce Desktop  PANEL" there an Option to Add a BRIGHTNESS PLUGIN . It works as expected except the SLIDER does not change the brightness. There are Brightness Function Keys on the keyboard that can move the slider display but have no effect on brightness .

Has anyone had the same problem or it would be useful to know if you can control the brightness on yours OK.

My PC is a Samsung NC 110 Netbook with an Integrated Intel Video Chip

  authentication error -- password rejected <SOLVED>
Posted by: avoura - 07-13-2014, 10:10 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (2)

After doing a new install on Linux Lite, and setting up a username and password, when it starts up I entered my password which was accepted. However, when trying to do anything once logged in that requires my password, the password is rejected, even though I have not changed it.

So why is this?

  Frozen install while creating user
Posted by: avoura - 07-13-2014, 09:03 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (3)

I read about Linux Lite in a magazine and decided to try it. I downloaded the 32-bit ISO file and installed it in Virtual Box which all worked very well.
I was looking for a new distro for my Asus EeePC which is a few years old now, but works well. It was running another distro which was getting outdated.
I put Linux Lite 2.0 onto a USB drive using Unetbootin and booted the EeePC from the USB drive.
It booted into live mode with no problems, and I set about doing an install, just the same as I had done previously on my desktop PC in Virtual Box.
It allowed me to choose partitions for / and /home okay, and I chose to encrypt my home folder, and started to install. But when it got as far as Creating User, it just freezes. I tried restarting the install and got the same result.
When I clicked on the "Creating User..." text it gave some CLI output text, the last bit is as follows:

Quote:GLib.source_remove(self.keyboard_layout_timeout_id)
/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-console-setup.py:74: Warning: Source ID 3281 was not found when attempting to remove it

I would really like to get it installed, so how can I do so?

Wanted to say after just a few hours trying out LL2 I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to browse to my NAS (it showed in Workgroup) and was able to instantly gain access ... something I had no luck with with LL1x

  [SOLVED-UPDATE] New Install - Issue Persists - Accessing NAS Share - "Read Only"
Posted by: Wirezfree - 07-12-2014, 09:15 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (16)

Hi,

This is a new thread from:
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...50#msg3050

Using the following in fstab which maps to folder in Home allows access to NAS share, but owner is now root, and therefore Read Only for me:

Code:
# WD NAS1 Shared
//wd-nas1/shared /home/dave/wdshared cifs users,credentials=/home/dave/.creds,workgroup=homenet,ip=10.10.10.10 0 0

So using the fstab method above seems to turn the folder to root user, and then it's RO for me.
If I navigate through Thunar, Browse network to the very same location everything works fine.

Update 1,
To verify the issue I rem'd out the above entry in fstab
The directory in Home returned to my ownership, and the CIF errors are no longer present in dmesg log file.
It seems like the above fstab entry changes owner to root, and creates CIF erorrs.??

Update 2,
Unfortunately things have got worse.!, I have now removed all previous changes regarding NAS Share Mount, now back to original state.??
But I now have a completely new situation, I'm able to browse to "any" NAS & Windows Share location, and see the contents, however if I:
1. Try to open a file, it is blank and "untitled"
2. I right click try to say create a text file "Test.txt", the file appears, try to open, it opens "untitled".
3. I right click on on any file on any share, it say's it owned by root., same files open from windows fine.

Any guidance/help appreciated before I have to do a re-install

Many Thanks... Dave

  Numeric pad will not function as a numeric pad
Posted by: LearninToFly - 07-12-2014, 08:41 PM - Forum: On Topic - Replies (2)

Since installing Linux lite the numeric pad has acted only as a mouse pointer. I have a HP keyboard on my Dell 4550, but the HP keyboard model number: KB-0630 is not listed the Settings/Keyboard/Keyboard model. It makes no difference if the Number Lock is on or off the number pad will not type a number, it will only use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Please help me to find the settings to change my numeric pad into a true numeric pad.
