  Installing Dashlane
Posted by: Dinakaran Rengachary - 06-02-2020, 12:05 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (2)

Hi,
I am new to Linux.
I have managed to install apps from the store and from other third party sites.
But when I download Dashlane password manager for Deb, I get an exe file. Clicking on it only extracts the files. How do I install it?

  Password problem - Help needed please to identify why?
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 06-02-2020, 07:10 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

My original post LL5.0 release was made before rebooting the laptop  LAN connection.

On rebooting - logging on password (upper and low cases) worked as expected.  However unable to Verify/authorise action such as Lite tweaks or install zoom.deb or access add/delete software
BUT was able to set up wifi passwords to two separate routers.

Keyboard language English (UK) throughout,
Keyboard settings
Number lock reset on restart unticked 
Keyboard model Fujitsu Amilo laptop  - These settings usually work fine on this Fuji lasptop  As with LL4.6
Keyboard layout English UK 

Not sure what is going on  Any ideas welcomed.
PS.  On installing I had used the keyboard identification routine - yes/no to various symbols

Hi.  Just installed Lite 5.0.  The items in the whisker menu display according to function -- e.g., Thunderbird displays as "Mail Client."  I want it to display as "Thunderbird."  Can this be done?  Thanks.

  Linux Lite 5.0 64bit , funny start up, and restart after full install,
Posted by: kissbaby3 - 06-01-2020, 08:10 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (6)

i removed the sound in this video on purpose,

i only installed this release on my upstairs Asus desktop computer. this is a clean install, fully updated, nothing new done to it yet, hoping you can tell me why this is happening.
then i will add things i like,
somewhere while booting up or restarting desktop PC, a image shows up goofy, i dont know why. hopefully some onefrom the linux lite forums can answer or give suggestions for a fix.
Linux lite 5.0 64bit just came out today(6-1-20) a a final release......
so far thats the only thing i have found strange. starts up at a good speed.
i am keeping the desktop PC downstairs on linux lite 4.8................
here is the video link i recorded of it starting up.

at 1:01 in the video is when you see it (the funny image thing )  , so start it at 0:58 to watch it happen..........

  Jumbled Display on booting Linux Lite 5.0 on acer aspire 3 A315-21-43WX
Posted by: kagashe - 06-01-2020, 01:08 PM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (1)

I have downloaded Linux Lite 5.0 64 Bit ISO and made persistent live USB using mkusb on Ubuntu 20.04. When I boot in Live Persistent or Live Only Mode I get the following Desktop (Photograph by android phone).

If I go back to boot options and select Recovery, Select Resume in Recovery I could boot into normal Desktop of Linux Lite 5.0.

I tried normal boot in persistent as well as Live only options once again and got the same Jumbled Display.

  Additional drivers "This device is not working" false positive?
Posted by: nathg - 06-01-2020, 09:36 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

I have this false positive message in drivers which states my Intel wifi is not working when in fact it is having no trouble at all on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.  Download/upload speeds are fine.
The radio selection buttons "Using iwlwifi driver backport...." and "Do not use the device" are both greyed out and if I select "Continue using a manually installed driver" the Apply Changes button still remains greyed out.  So no matter what I do, the Intel Corporation: Wireless 3165 "This device is not working" message remains constantly there under the Additional Drivers tab.

But as mentioned before, wifi works fine on both channels.

Any ideas on what might be going on here?  See attachment for screenshot.

PS:  Great work on allowing LL 5.0 to boot on a 32bit UEFI system to install, this Compute Stick PC will live on a bit longer without Windows 10

  Got cinnamon theme installed on Linux Lite

Hello all,
I successfully installed the Cinnamon theme for Linux Lite 5.0! It looks awesome, but I will not disclose how I did this as the help guide for Linux Lite states this is not recommended for newbies or beginners. Thankfully I am of not either category! This is what my desktop looks
