** (nm-connection-editor:1997): WARNING **: Icon nm-device-wired missing: Error opening file: No such file or directory

** (nm-connection-editor:1997): WARNING **: Failed to initialize the UI, exiting

Not sure why a missing icon is causing the UI to crash but in the Gnome theme Icons it fails every time. 

After changing the icon theme the nm-connection-editor works.
If the icon pack does not have an icon for nm-connection-editor is there a way to set an Icon for the applet that is permanent.
If so do I need to assign it in pixmaps or themes. As I am not sure if this is a network issue or a theme issue.

I have been reading on internet about a virus affecting Linux servers. Is there a need for antivirus on desktop Linux now?

I share files sometimes with my PPC iMac and e-mail people using Windows.

Forum: Start up and Shutdown
- Replies (3)

Ok I initially had problems with shutting down after I used NDISWRAPPER. I managed to change the etc/init.d/halt script and I was able to shutdown with no problems.
Then I decided that I wanted to make a shutdown icon and place it on the desktop. While I attempt this a suggestion pops up but when I try it, It gives me more options to as restart shutdown etc. So I am trying to avoid so many steps I want to shutdown directly.
So I have tested many commands to use for this on the command window and most of them hang my machine.
It does not hang when I use the GUI as I said. What is the command that is evoked when I click shutdown on the GUI?
I want to use the same one for my special OFF button.
Thanks

Hi,

I'm going from (my brain’s) memory since I can't really boot LL 1.06 now. I got a new monitor, a Neovo F-419. Dual booting XP and XP works OK with new monitor. When I booted LL the resolution was very low (icons were huge) and it worked but so big it was unusable. I have nvivida card so went into nvivida settings to increase resolutions but got a message within nvivida settings that it could not do that and said I should upgrade driver. I went into Synaptic and saw i was using driver 173 ver. I saw nvidia current as 304 and checked/installed that.  LL booted to black/blank screen, I did see a message at some point while booting that nvidia video adapter was "not found".

I then rebooted into recovery mode with most recent I have kernel: 3.2.0. 60 generic-pae . I then tried "Drop to root shell" to maybe reinstall or try another nvidia driver, or something to fix(?). But when I did that it says "Give root password for Maintenance (or type Control-D to Continue):". Password or anything I've tried does not work here, cntrl-D just takes me back to recovery menu.

I'm at a dead end. What can I do?

Thanks.

Forum: Installing Linux Lite
- Replies (19)

I installed Linux Lite 1.0.8 on a Emachines T2341.  I can't get any videos to work.  No YouTube or embedded videos.  I'm thinking that maybe the computer itself.  The video will start to work, a black screen, then will quickly disappear.  The old computer is very hard to find a video card that will work, ddr.  I installed Lite on a brand new 160 G HHD.  It was very speedy at first then I let Lite upgrade and it became very slow and sticky after that.

I have Lite installed on and older Acer small laptop and it works great on it.  Does anyone have any ideas how I can get Lite to work better?

Hi everyone,

I currently use Evernote on my Windows 7 PC and my Android smartphone.  I'm thinking of putting Linux Lite on my old PC that currently has Windows XP on it and completely wiping the hard drive.  If I do this, how can I use Evernote on my Linux Lite PC?  Should I use Everpad?  Do I just go to http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Utilities...6169.shtml and download the file?  If not, can someone please point me to some step by step instructions on how to do this?  Many thanks!

Hi,

Using Nvidia 304.116 drivers on Geforce 6150 LE integrated graphics.

So I started and my screen resolution was set as 1024x768, where it should be 1440x900.  I tried to manually change the resolution, but it did not show my screen resolution anymore as an option.  Even if I changed to another option, the changes didn't stick and it reverted back to 1024x768.

Then I tried both detecting the screen and manually setting the resolution in the advanced options, but no joy, it reverted back to 1024x768.

Then I tried uninstalling Nvidia drivers by going into recovery mode by holding the shift key while restarting, but it says loading Grub menu and then the screen goes blank...forever.  I can't figure out how to get into recovery mode to uninstall.

Then I tried changing to version 173 drivers and my screen resolution went to 640x480, I think, and I could no longer even get into the Nvidia configuration, nothing happened when I click the Icon.

So then I tried changing to version 96 drivers and now I can't even get into LL, screen goes blank after the BIOS screen closes.

I am only using this computer for the internet, so the only changes I have made for many months are running the updates.  I have not installed any software or made any other changes.

Not sure to what to do at this point, I'd rather not have to reinstall.  I have an old backup I could restore, but I assume I will run into the same problem when I run the updates?

Thanks for any help.

Good evening,
I live in England. I have managed to install LinuxLite on a second HDD on my PC and I can dual-boot. I wanted a system to take over from XP. So far so good... I shall probably be asking for advice as I go along. I have already posted a query in another part of this forum.

Best wishes
