Hi all, I have a vanilla install of LL 4.0 updated and upgraded and everything is working fine except for my screen that flickers randomly. I've had it flicker when adjusting the volume, entering Netflix or Youtube, etc. It seemed to be related to the video card, so I went ahead and downloaded and installed the latest AMD drivers for it. I also installed all of the codecs but it still flickering.
Any ideas?

There are gripes here and there with the system, but taken for what it is - a free distro in perpetual but reasonably proceeding development - I absolutely like it.

Hello

I was playing with customization and went to Lite desktop.
There I selected Control panel disable and clicked OK.
The settings icon from the desktop disappeared.

Now I want it back.

Please help how to enable it.

Thx,
Amit

Is there a search program or file manager that will search for file types/categories?
IE: video files, audio files image files?

Hello,

also arrived today is (my highly excited order) the Nexx WT3020H, it cost £9.98 and free postage.

This is claimed to be the Worlds smallest router. It is tiny, 2 will fit on top of a Raspberry Pi 3.
It is OpenWRT compliant/supported.

It comes with a booklet showing diagrams of a variety of ways to connect it up and use it.
Also in the packet is the router and the power lead to usb.

It has 2 ethernet connections(WAN/LAN), power socket, USB port, and built in Wifi.

Example - I plugged from the router through this then used the second port to a desktop, and connected the power to mains supply via a usb to socket adapter. It worked fine but it can do much more.

Another use and my reason for buying this is as a drop box. (example uses of a dropbox are shown on Mr.Robot)

This is where you attach it like above on to someones (my own) network, you can then access that network using the wifi inside this little router.
You can also connect using SSH.<< which is what I want to practice using a raspberry pi's as I am just learning ssh (from The Linux Command Line book) so it would be silly to make my desktop into a ssh server.

The USB port can hold a USB flash drive to store packets you sniff/capture from the network traffic. Which you then access via the wifi.

Another way I have seen was to connect it to a raspberry pi and using Kali Linux, this way you can also do a wide range of other things, which I may as well learn too, after having bought it and with all the setting up I'll have to do for it etc

If you order one make sure it is the H at the end of the model name as the other models are 3G or 4G and need a sim card inserted in them, the H model does not use a sim card.
It looks a bit difficult to set up, but also looks like it can be a fun device to learn some things about networks.
I hope it was interesting, or useful for someone.

Hello,
another one tested today, this costs £7.20 and free postage on eBay.
In the box, comes the adapter, a small omni directional antenna, a mini disc of Beini (Tiny Core Linux it says, but we have LL) , this cd is different metallic green with pink love hearts on it, and pink baby bottle caps, this is obviously the baby-girl version and the manual of cracking that poor neighbours wifi again, but this time it has baby pink surroundings and dividers.For customs purposes it was described as a "reservoir" (for storing the Ap's).
There is a newer model of this but it wasn't too different and this was cheaper.
Looks wise, it is like 100%+ better build than any other wifi adapter I have, the top doesn't flex it is slimline but you can see it is thick acrylic, the top and base are high gloss black, the sides are red.It has an integrated spring clip on its back already fitted. This could clip on to say the curtains, car visor, or a bag.
This is Made in China.
It was tested on the desk using LinSSID.
It finds with its default antenna 11 Ap's, it's not bad as its an obviously weak antenna, and likely how the costs have been cut.I thought, dont worry baby I know you have power, dropped the 16dBi omni and he jumped to 31 Ap's almost instantly, and his blue led danced away, its got a blue led that's not blinding as the black cover has no cut out for it so it subdues its intensity nicely.

I have not yet tried it with the Cannon antenna (the 58dBi directional from the Linfox thread, I discovered its name online)

I definitely like this one because of its very solid case build, its got some red highlights which is always nice (to me), the integral rear clip means it can handle the long 16dBi on its small form factor due to the clip tilting the adapter off the desk.

This like the Linfox adapter is also 3070 chipset.
This is plug and play on LL.

and.... yes it can do Monitor Mode



I hope it was useful for someone.

Similarly to the case described in THIS thread, the shutdown sequence also appears to keep hanging on the last action, which in this case is the power-off function, I guess. Apart from that, it literally takes minutes to reach that, albeit I ordered the PC to shutdown with some processes keeping running. Despite that, come on. But y'know what I think, this is probably the case with just laptops perhaps.

EDIT:

Sorry for the screwed primary format, now edited.

based on gufw firewall gui, my linux lite's 4 doesn't open it... I've been trying for a little longer solve this issue by myself but nothing happen. bellow you can see the debug app trogh therminal code any idea how can I solve it?

On windows I can take screenshot with only one keybord taster print screen, but here is very complicate for me to make screenshot when I want.
Is here possible to take screenshot with only one taster like in windows?
If is possible can someone explain me how?

I have a dual-boot Win7 and LL 3.8, all working fine.

I intend to install LL4 and I used GParted (within LL) to reduce the Windows partition. I now have 53GB Unallocated which I would like to add to my 108GB LL partition.

When I try to re-size the LL partition it won't allow any size bigger than the min/max stated.
I'm guessing it might be to do with the Unallocated being on the Win side of the linux-swap, but in fact I'm new to this operation.

If it's a head-wrecking task I might leave it as is, just install LL 4 to the 108gb.
