Posted a thread earlier (at least I think I did) but now it's gone..?  Hope I didn't post it in the wrong place..?

Just wondering if I will be able to use a graphics tablet and pen with LL?  Will any USB type work or is there a brand that is Linux friendly?

Hi

I have searched the site regarding this problem but the posts concerned involve dual boot with windows and older releases of Lite.

With the latest build, fresh install, nothing complicated at all. On the very first boot and since I have had the following error messages [Only installed a few hours ago]

error: no suitable video mode found
error: no video mode activated
error: no video mode activated
error: diskfilter writes are not supported

Press any key to continue

This seems to be a bug in Grub that goes back a long way, is there a simple fix?

Other than these error messages the system runs very well on a very low spec PC.

im using LL4.4. im unable to upgrade my system to LL4.6. the LL Install Updates is telling that im not connected to internet. but there is no issue in my connection. i tried upgrading through terminal but its not working. changed the linux sources. nothing worked. please help me in upgrading to the latest version of LL.

I'm on LL 4.2 and the newest firefox version in the repository is at 66.  I need at least version 67 to install a particular firefox add-on.

I downloaded the update for 69, but was cautioned I shouldn't use the update file and have to use the update from the repository.

Is there anyway to update firefox to a version greater than 66 with LL 4.2?

I am running Lite 4.6 on two machines, both upgraded from 4.4, one is able to update the other cannot ;
Both confusers are on the same wireless to the same router;
One computer (the one I am using) is an HP Compaq 6200 pro Intel core i5-2500 with 8gb ddr3 ram
no problem getting updates on the HP-6200
Other computer is a 2005 vintage HP Pavilion a1646 intel core 2 with 8 gb ddr2 ram (buckeye mobo)
This 1646 does have  difficulty. When I tell it to update I get this response:
"Install Updates could not fetch the package cache information lists.

I have tried selecting a different mirror but get the same "No fetch". Had a dog like that once ....
What should I do ?

Hello Linux Lite Community,
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue before. I have bought a new laptop battery for my HP Elitebook laptop running Linux Lite.
The battery level indicator from the Power Manager Plugin does not change (stays on 100%), but updates to the correct level when I restart the computer.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the XFCE4 power manager package, but it did not solve the issue.
I don't think it is a hardware issue, as the battery level indicator displays correctly when running a live USB.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have an HP laptop and an HP desktop, both running Linux Lite 4.4. When I saw that 4.6 is now available I booted up my laptop, did an update, then did the Linux Lite Upgrade option.  The procedure ran to a successful completion, and now according to System Information, my Operating System on the laptop is now Linux Lite 4.6.
I went to my HP desktop and ran the same options and on the Linux Lite Upgade I got a screen that says "You are already running the latest release."
According to my System Information, Operating System on the desktop I am running Linux Lite 4.4. Why does it say latest release, and what do I do to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.6?

Hello,
I wanted to uninstall two packages that came with my 3.8 Linux Lite OS.  When I use the Linux Software tool I get a message that it cannot locate .bin file but both packages are listed in my "installed" software listing.  The packages are Skype and Spotify.

I tried to use the command line to uninstall and I get a message that says cannot locate package "Spotify" or "Skype", same message.  I am using: sudo apt-get purge (package) as the command in terminal. 

Any suggestions?

Steve

I get this error (?) message every time I start gscan2pdf scanner program.  Any ideas how to fix it?



Is it just a matter of installing something called PDFTK?

i read the posting rules and hoping i'm posting correctly.

so i erased everything on my aged laptop and did a fresh install.  and this happened. TIA for the upcoming solutions.
