  connectivity problems
Posted by: ReH3565 - 05-02-2014, 11:36 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (7)

I just downloaded linuxlite. I had no problem with internet connectivity using an ethernet cable but my wireless network wasn't recognized. I searched for additional drivers to get my Broadcom wireless activated, downloaded the driver, and now neither wireless nor wired internet will work. How have I messed up?

  PAE Kernel question
Posted by: joejohnston3 - 05-02-2014, 11:20 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (7)

Hi All,

Do I need to install the PAE Kernel under additional software with Linux Lite 1.0.8 or does it automatically use a PAE Kernel if it detects one during install? System Info seemed to show a newer Kernel then the one used through the PAE install so I am confused and need some clarification on what to use. Thank you.

  Format USB stick
Posted by: dennus - 05-02-2014, 08:59 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (4)

Hi all!

Is there a simple way to format an USB stick?  In the newer Linux Mint there is a tool called MintStick. Any change of that one coming over to Linux Lite?

I must say, in the years past I have been trying several versions of Linux on my laptop...  Ubuntu, Mint, Arch etc.  But I find Linux Lite to be the fastest :-)

  Acer C720 Touchpad
Posted by: HarryFarthing - 05-01-2014, 01:48 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

There are a few guides and patches out there. Some of them are for Arch, and some are for Ubuntu. I haven't managed to get one working (I assume this has something to do with the different version of ubuntu and/or Linux kernel).

Has anyone here managed to get the touchpad working on Linux Lite? I really don't want to use standard Ubuntu, and I REALLY don't want to use Arch.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could help out.

  Wireless not connecting after reboot
Posted by: ooseven - 04-30-2014, 08:35 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (7)

I installed 1.08 on  a acer aspire 3000 for a friend. I have to make a network connection
and it works till I reboot. It is set to connect automatically. It does not show up in the
network icon down by volume. When open the VPN connection it is in there.

But does not start or even let me click on it to connect. Never had this problem bfore,
had install drivers before but not this.

  Enabling Suspend on Linux Lite
Posted by: valtam - 04-28-2014, 08:41 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (7)

1) Open a terminal and type in:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd

2) Paste the following code into the file, save then close it.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#inspired by http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9744970&postcount=19
#...and http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug   
# tidied by tqzzaa :)

VERSION=1.1
DEV_LIST=/tmp/usb-dev-list
DRIVERS_DIR=/sys/bus/pci/drivers
DRIVERS="ehci xhci" # ehci_hcd, xhci_hcd
HEX="[[:xdigit:]]"
MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS=2
BIND_WAIT=0.1

unbindDev() {
  echo -n > $DEV_LIST 2>/dev/null
  for driver in $DRIVERS; do
    DDIR=$DRIVERS_DIR/${driver}_hcd
    for dev in `ls $DDIR 2>/dev/null | egrep "^$HEX+:$HEX+:$HEX"`; do
      echo -n "$dev" > $DDIR/unbind
      echo "$driver $dev" >> $DEV_LIST
    done
  done
}

bindDev() {
  if [ -s $DEV_LIST ]; then
    while read driver dev; do
      DDIR=$DRIVERS_DIR/${driver}_hcd
      while [ $((MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS)) -gt 0 ]; do
          echo -n "$dev" > $DDIR/bind
          if [ ! -L "$DDIR/$dev" ]; then
            sleep $BIND_WAIT
          else
            break
          fi
          MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS=$((MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS-1))
      done 
    done < $DEV_LIST
  fi
  rm $DEV_LIST 2>/dev/null
}

case "$1" in
  hibernate|suspend) unbindDev;;
  resume|thaw)       bindDev;;
esac

3) Make the file executable, in the same terminal type in:

Code:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd

Source: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix...orking-bug

Working on 1.0.6, need confirmation this will work on 1.0.8 please.
