After issuing 'lspci' found out the card is a 'qualcomm atheros ar9485'
Restarting Network-Manager does not solve the issue
Also tried disabling and re-enabling back the wifi card with notebook's function keys combination
Had the problem with LL 3.8, and after upgrading to LL 4.4 the problem remains.
Please help
PS: Wifi works fine after restart or shutdown

I hope I'm posting to the right part of the forum.
I'm running LL3.8 on a netbook. All updates have been applied.
I had shortcuts in Thunar to 2 remote shares and that has worked well for a year or two. These shares are on a USB HDD connected to a Raspberry Pi that was running OpenElec.
I just changed the RPi OS to LibreElec and can no longer connect using LL. It works fine on my Win10 laptop. The device appears in Browse Network but I can't get any further. When I try to browse it times out.
I suspect that there is something left over from the prior access to the old RPi OS but I don't know what.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

I'm well aware of the advantages of 64bit, but I still use some 32bit hardware (sometimes) and don't generally bother with 64bit anything.
I do a lot of distro customisation, and going 64bit would double the work across everything. 64bit ARM is a different matter. The next architecture I bother with will more likely be ARM than 64bit x86.
That may mean that Linux Lite is not an option for long, or I may develop a schema/spec for it and make "Linux Lite Retro" or something of that nature, with updated binaries (not a guarantee, just a remote possibility.) Either way I have a fair amount of computing experience, which I'm willing to share here (as well as learn more about Linux Lite.)

Hi,
I've been duckduckgoing and have found no results on how to disable a service that slows down boot up time on my laptop with linux-lite and apparently I don't need it as I'm not using virtualbox. The console shows after:
Started LSB disk temperature monitoring
A start job is running for vbox.add service 5m 20s
and it takes about 3 or 4 minutes for this to run its course.
I did a removal (not complete removal) of any software I could find related to virtualbox in Synaptic, such as virtualbox-guest-utils, virtualbox-guest-x11, and virtualbox-guest-dkms but that didn't help.
I then went to Session and Startup and unticked vboxclient under application startup but that didn't help. I then edited /etc/xdg/autostart/vboxclient.desktop and changed the following line to false
Code: X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
Apparently it isn't a service that I see under
Code: service --status-all

I'm a retired IBM Systems Engineer with over 50 years of IT experience but unfortunately none in Linux. However in a triumph of ignorance and superstition over science and technology Linux Lite (LL) was successfully installed running under Virtual Box (VB) 5.2.26 on my PC running Win 10. The screen desktop appears OK but when SOME menu items (software updates) are selected NOTHING HAPPENS - nada, no launch, no err msg !! Rotten thing to do to a nice man like me. What am i doing wrong ?? How is this fixed and why is there no err msg ? (luckily one of the games will run so that i can stay busy while waiting for your response).
The version of LL is (i think) 2.6/3.x/4.x (64-bit)

So now I want to reinstall Lite and give it all the space it needs, since I know I have plenty of HDD space for it, but I can't find an option to reinstall. How do I go about this??
