Just ran inxi -Fxz in a terminal and the distro name is showing as Ubuntu.

Code: [Select]
System:    Host: acr-aoa-150 Kernel: 3.19.0-33-generic i686 (32 bit, gcc: 4.8.2)
           Desktop: Xfce 4.11.8 (Gtk 2.24.23) Distro: Ubuntu 14.04 trusty

All updates have been done from Install Updates.

System Information shows the correct information I guess this is something with inxi not the system.

Today while installing a package in synaptic (Install/Remove Software), I noticed if you view details while changes are being made it shows the following.

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 96, <> line 1.
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 96, <> line 1.
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 114, <> line 1.
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Gnome.pm line 114, <> line 1.

I used the quick filter and searched for clearlooks and found the package "gtk2-engines" and installed it. After installing the package the above listed warnings no longer show when installing packages.

There is another warning that shows, but it is a bug in Ubuntu according to a google search I did.

To ayman:

The brightness function works on 2.8 for me, but it is [Fn]+Left arrow or [Fn]+right arrow.

[Fn]+Up arrow or [Fn]+Down arrow controls the speaker volume.

You may want to check to make sure you have the right keyboard layout selected.

No Sir , not working at all , meantime Fn left , Fn Right works for screen light
I have changed many keyboard layout but usless

If this can't be resolved for you in oher ways, do what I did. My brightness keys work but I only get like 5 levels (should be 20). It has to do with Lenovos weird Fn Keys and the Intel graphics driver I can't use.

Install xbacklight:
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install xbacklight
Go to the main menu and search for keyboard, open the 'Keyboard' program and go to 'Application Shortcuts'.
Bind unused key combos to these to commands:

To increase brightness by 2% (I used [Alt] + [+(NumPad)])
Code: [Select]
xbacklight -inc 2
To decrease brightness by 2% (I used [Alt + [-(NumPad)])
Code: [Select]
xbacklight -dec 2

If you want a 4. series kernel, go here - http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/pool/main/l/lite-kernel/ we do offer them for people who need them. Newer kernels drop older hardware support, this is the reason why shipping with the latest kernel is a bad idea when you're also trying to target older machines.

I purchased this ASUS netbook to use for college and I looked for a very lightweight distro due the device's limited performance. I'm actually satisfected with my choice for LL.

I started use LL in version 2.6_64 (december, 2015), before I used Xubuntu since 2008. I was surprised for a 3.13 kernel in the system, then 2.8 comes with a 3.19 kernel. Why not a 4 version? I think it's would be more interesant for much reasons.

Thank's
