Hi All,
What is the network under for Group?
What need to be able to set users up so they can add wireless networks with out admin password.
Basic, I know, but can anyone tell me how to change the date format from US to British?
Earlier today I did a fresh install of LL 1.0.8 with no problems. I then went to add a PPA for installing a command line utility "inxi" following directions on there site here: http://smxi.org/site/install.htm#inxi. I got an error message when trying to add the PPA. Figured it might just be some kind of temporary problem so I reversed what I did and installed it manually. Didn't think any more about it.
Now (an hour or so later), I just tried adding the PPA for the Plank dock application and got the same error message -- so apparently it wasn't an isolated one-off error caused by the last PPA source I tried. Must be something I'm missing or set-up wrong on the LL system, but I don't know how to fix it. Anyone else have an idea of what the following error message is indicating as the problem?

Hey guy's I know I mention this little problem before in the "Introduce Yourself" section of the forum but, since there's already a section for this related problem I'll post here. Okay guy's? Like I mentioned before, we have one Dell PC with LL installed as primary OS coming from Windows XP. Since installing LL on our system when logging out of a user account and shutting down the OS, it always asks for the admin password which is really annoying. Anyway to turn this off or get rid of it? Thanks.
Shadow.
Hello All,
I have read several posts in this forum regarding Broadcom issues but nothing seems to work. I have added the broadcom drivers though Install/Remove programs and now even the wireless light does not show. Prior to that install I would get a wireless light but it would not show my home wireless and only listed a couple in our area. I presumed it was a Broadcom issue and have been trying to update the drivers in hopes it would fix my issue. Below is my output for my cards as I am presently using an AirLink to post this and get WiFi temporarily.
lspci | grep -i wireless
06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
Am I supposed to take further action after installing the broadcom drivers via Synaptic, i.e. terminal commands and such or should it detect my hardware after install?
I am bewildered and really want a solution if possible. Thank you for the help.
Hello All,
Wow, I am only a few hours into Linux Lite and I can tell you from all my distro hopping that this is the best distro of any I have tried! I have gone through about 15 distros and was looking for something lightweight but beautiful and configurable and LL fills the bill in so many ways. Thank you so much to the developer and his team for all their hard work and for such a tremendous distro. I will be recommending and installing this on every one of my user's systems when they are looking for a change from Windows/Mac. This is my go to distro and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
Installed properly from USB to sata drive,
on reboot 1.0.8 refused to start X
dead stop.
releases need to be tested on REAL machines and not virtual machines.
I'd file this under bugs but I am blocked. That pisses me off
tried to install 1.0.8 onto notebook with hard drive pre partitioned
sda2 was set for / and to be formatted to ext4
sda3 was set for /DATA and preformatted as ntfs
ubiquity refused to continue.
that's a show stopper if one has data they want to be kept while migrating away from microsoft.
I hate M$ with a passion!
I tried to register to report bugs but was blocked.
I tried to register to the forum but was delayed for hours.
If this the policy then say so up front on the site.
Noticed that when running the script 'Install Updates' it re-downloads the same manual every time. Shouldn't
the script check to verify what version is installed?
