  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

  Attention Dual-Booters: New Internet Explorer Exploit Affects IE 6 - IE 11
Posted by: N4RPS - 04-28-2014, 12:02 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

Hello, All!

I ran across this article today, and thought I'd share it with the community. It seems that there's a new exploit in Internet Explorer that allow a malicious user to take control of your computer and install files on it, simply by having you to visit a malicious website.

Fixes for Vista and higher are coming, but there will be no fix for XP. Since Firefox and Chrome are not affected by this exploit, it is recommended that Windows XP users use Firefox or Chrome from now on, as opposed to Internet Explorer.

I don't know about anyone else, but doesn't this seem like a recurring theme that triggers most of the M$ security updates?

Here's the URL of the whole story:

http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/27/565900...l-versions

Of course, none of this affects users who only use Linux Lite. Wink I post this for the benefit of those who dual-boot with Windows...

  Installing Netflix
Posted by: lindalinex4me - 04-27-2014, 03:06 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (12)

Hello...new to Linux and know almost nothing.  I tried to install Netflix from the Help Manual and tried copying and pasting this:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
                                          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop
My computer would only paste the first line then asked for my password.  Don't  I need both lines together?  Or should I go with the first line-enter, wait till all that is done, then paste or type the 2nd line??? I tried to manually type the two lines in and couldn't get it on two lines as shown in the manual.  Sigh...I might need Help Manual for Dummies.  :-\  Thanks for taking pity on me!

  Can't choose to install LL besides the existing OSs
Posted by: Jonas - 04-26-2014, 07:54 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (24)

Hello, friends.

When I run the installation program after I booted LinuxLite via USB, I cannot choose then to install this OS besides the other two which are already installed. The only options shown me is to erase the Lubuntu OS and install LinuxLite, to erase all and install LL or to do "something else [setting partitions and so on]".
So why can't I install LL for Dual-Boot as I did already with Lubuntu?

Another issue: The keyboard is messed by dealing with LL started via USB. I use a netbook and it seems like, the numpad has assigned to regular buttons on the keyboard. So pushing "j k l" I get "1 2 3", pushing "u i o" I get "4 5 6" and so on.

I'd be glad if you could help me.
