Hello,

I have just installed a FRESH copy of Linux Lite 5.4 on my laptop. I loved the live USB system so decided to give it a go.

To my dismay this is what I booted into on my first boot (see attached pictures). What is this? I don't remember being asked for a raw Xfce desktop with nothing there. How can I fix this without reinstalling again? If this can't be fixed, Linux Lite is useless for me and I will need to look for another distro. What about those google ads in Firefox that cannot be closed? This surely is weird.

I'm a 16 year + Linux user and never in my life have I had something like that happen on a fresh installation. Can anyone offer suggestions on what went wrong? Thanks.

I can't even attach a photo in this forum.

I enabled the Lite Widget on the 5.4 release but it is displayed almost entirely off-screen.  Here is a picture of what is happening.



What should I do to get the widget readjusted on-screen?

Also, how would I move the widget to the second monitor?

I installed a fresh copy of Linux Lite 5.4 since I was installing a new graphics card (NVIDIA GTX 1070).

I use dual monitors which they worked fine in Linux Lite 4.2 which was my old version I used.

But after this new install, the menu panel is on the second monitor instead of the primary monitor.

I can't find out how to move it.  Can anyone help please?


*Edit*  Now I found it...it was in panel preferences - Output can choose which monitor to put it on.

Rather than me downloading some software and then fighting with it to work, maybe someone here can recommend a program that will work well with my Samsung Laser jet printer/scanner?

I had luck with GSCAN2PDF with LL 4.0 but not with 5.2.

I will probably upgrade to 5.4.  Any suggestions?  And if so, the best way to download it?

THANKS

Hi,
Today I did an update, Thunderbird was updated.
Then, I realize that the sound is lost, the volume control pops up frequently, whether I check the configuration in the Manual and run alsamixer I have no idea what is happening.
I upload the report of my system in order to recieve any help.
I could see the sound in the audio control panel and also while I run a test in the terminal with the command:
speaker-test -c 2


Regards

Having just upgraded LL3.8 to LL5.2 without any major issues I have come across one very annoying issue. Despite trying everything I know I am no longer able to freely resize the whisker menu panel i.e. it will resize in height only but not in width.


I prefer to have the smallest possible icons withing this menu and the menu looks now ridiculous with loads of wasted white space and the width of the menu taking up a third of the whole screen. I've never experienced this issue in previous versions of LL where I have always been able to resize this window freely.


Can someone please help me resolve this issue or point out where I am going wrong. TIA

I am using linux Lite. I have installed code Blocks. When i am creating any new project then it is working correctly. it compiling codes. But When any empty c file is creating and trying to compile then it is not working.

Showing message that permission denied. I have checked the compiler setting for empty file. it is GNU GCC Compiler. How can I solve this?

Hello,
I have a silly question. I use Firefox that came with LL. Yet when I go to this forum specially I see two ads on both sides of my screen. How can I remove them? Their VERY annoying.

The button to enable Wi-Fi stopped working out of nowhere (Linux Lite). Tried rebooting and updating the system, nothing worked. It’s not that I can’t connect to a specific network, it’s that there’s a unchecked check box that says “enable WiFi,” but when I click it the check box stays unchecked.

Yes, I looked at tutorials that use the terminal, and I still couldn’t get it to work.

If this all doesn’t work, I’m gonna try switching to Xubuntu.

(I posted this here instead of “other software issues” to not ruin the exactly 6969 posts in that category lol)
