  A couple of problems
Posted by: gramps - 04-15-2014, 10:29 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Hi! Don't want to be a pain, but I have a couple of questions. I first installed Lite on a Toshiba notebook and had issues I could not fix. It turned out that the notebook had "issues" and was sent to notebook heaven. My grandson gave me his old Dell notebook, a Dell D630 with a 2.2 GHz. Intel core2duo with 4 GB of ram. For some reason I cannot get the wireless to work, the notebook will work with a cable plugged in but I cannot seem to get or find the software to get the wireless to work. The notebook also has a Quattro 135m graphics card in it and I cannot find the software for it either. It's driving my 70 year old mind to a frazzle trying to fix these. I am an absolute beginner to Linux and in no way a computer guru. Any body have any idea what I might need to do?

  FN Function Key Issues
Posted by: dbrew4 - 04-15-2014, 01:14 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

I am using a Gateway M305CRV laptop and running Lite 1.0.8. I do not have a numlock key on my keyboard but I think the numlock is activated. I have to use the FN function key when typing certain letters and numbers otherwise they come out different EG: U=4, I=5, O=6, etc. I've read this is a common problem. The keyboard is now set for default "Cherry Cymotion Master Linus" and I have a 86 key keyboard including the space bar. I see there are a bunch of keyboard layout options in the Settings-Keyboard menu but I don't see mine. Need Help here. NEWBIE to Linux Lite.
Tks

  Install/Remove software
Posted by: Sareg6050537188 - 04-14-2014, 12:41 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

I am fairly new to Linux, and more specifically Linux-Lite, so I am not sure if this is the way it's supposed to be. In the systems section off the main menu, there is no install/remove  part to the menu. The reason for this inquiry is that I am trying to install programs and are unable to do so.

  Question About Snapping Horizontally
Posted by: SweetAction22 - 04-13-2014, 09:59 PM - Forum: Scripting and Bash - Replies (5)

Hello,
I wasn't sure where to post this question, so let me know if this is the wrong place.

My question is this... One thing I miss about Windows xp was the ability to snap(?), or position, open windows horizontally or vertically and give each window equal room.  (Don't know if snap is the right word).  It was a simple two click process, and no dragging.  It did it automatically.

Is there a command I could create that would do this same thing?

  Can't access Windows Vista - boot menu
Posted by: parvind - 04-13-2014, 03:21 AM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (5)

Hello,
  I have windows vista and in a rush I installed Linux Lite while running ISO from CD and created partition following the instructions.

Now, I don't know how to access Windows Vista as I did not do backup. I chose "add this OS in addition to existing" while installing. So for sure, Vista is not deleted.

I installed Grub Customizer and customized to see other operating system, but I don't see Windows Vista in the list. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks,
Arvind

  Trying to connect Epson printer
Posted by: Bromax2 - 04-12-2014, 06:19 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (11)

I am trying to connect my Epson "Small-in-one" printer. I went to http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epso...410_Series and tried to download x86 32 bit: 1.0.0 (DEB for LSB 3.2), which I am assuming is the right package, but cannot get a connection, I could, however, open the install instructions, (Not sure I understand about "Installing the LSB package" first) but regardless, ll can't do the download. Any suggestions?

  Hello From England
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 04-12-2014, 11:05 AM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

Just found Linux lite. Have old Toshiba Satellite pro A10 with 2 x 512mb Ram. that needs to keep working!! Trying linuxlite 1.08 as live CD.  Currently running puppy linux precise 5.7.1 frugal on it.

Still fumbling my way around Linux. Currently running Mint 13 on work laptop.

Well worth the learning curve to be free of rampant commercialisation in now what is becoming essential access to information - i.e the internet.  Also the improved security against viruses etc.

Good luck with the linuxlite project for a more straight forward and backwards compatible flavour of linux.
