  Uninstall option under menu rightclick
Posted by: MS - 10-16-2018, 12:10 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

Hi,

perhaps this is due to myself emerging from WindowsOS environment, but I do miss an option to issue uninstalling of a program from rightlicking it in the desktopbar menu, then selecting an uninstall. This option could match the "purge" function on the selected program, perhaps.

  Lite 4.0 and Python
Posted by: barnaby - 10-16-2018, 07:50 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

I have a desk top and a laptop. I keep them in sync using pCloud. A few days ago I decided to install LL 4.0 on to the laptop. No problem. I do a lot of work with Python, so I expected to see that I now had v 3.6.6, and yes, that was all fine. I use a program called mu-editor to work with it. This needs v 3.6.6 so it worked fine.

Since I was pleased with LL 4.0 I decided to install it on my desk top computer. I used the same memory stick for this. Once it was done I checked for the Python version. It was 3.5.2 which was a surprise. I also tried the mu-editor which brought up an error. After a lot of searching around I have finally managed to install Python 3.6.6 on the desk top, so I now have three versions, 2.7, 3.5.2, 3.6.6. I made 3.6.6. the default version, then tried mu-editor. Error message, it will not run. I have also found that the Python module gi will import happily on the laptop, but is "not found" on the desk top.

So, now I will have to use the laptop whenever I want to work with Python, but go back to the desk top for everything else. What puzzles me is that I used the same memory stick for both installations, so expected them to be the same. Weird.

  Alfa Network AWUS036ACH
Posted by: bitsnpcs - 10-15-2018, 08:22 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (16)

Hello,

I am trying to get this dual band Alfa Network wifi adapter working.
So far I have done -

Code:
sudo apt update
Code:
sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

The adapter light has not came on, and it has not found any routers.

Code:
iwconfig
says no wireless devices are connected to the computer.
LinSSID also will not open saying there are no wireless devices connected.

I have then tested both of the USB ports I am using with -
AWUS036h
AWUS036NHA
Also with 3 dongles one regular, one mini, and one micro dongle.These use different drivers, and they don't all use the same drivers.
I have also tested these in LinSSID and they all work fine.
I need to determine if the device is faulty (as it is a new arrival), and if it is not faulty to learn how to get it working.

  Error loop on reboot
Posted by: MS - 10-15-2018, 05:16 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - Replies (6)

Oftentimes when issued manually to reboot, the system would close up all the processes but somehow fail to proceed. When given input, the terminal would show up, with the last line telling the system is initiating reboot, but further input returns the original black screen, which we had escaped. Further input rolls back to the same terminal sequence, appearing to load again each time anew.

  Lite 4.0 keyboard issues
Posted by: ictinfo - 10-15-2018, 02:27 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

Working in a school and introducing students to Linux. Installed Linux Lite 4.0 on a netbook Asus Eee PC Seashell series. Went on really well and works so much better than windows on it. But there is a problem with the keyboard. I doesn't recognise the keyboard correctly, the key mapping is wrong. Instead of pressing fn keys to get the blue numbers on J.K.L,M,U,I,O,P I get numbers instead of lessons. Only works with external keyboard for all letters Sad

Python developer packages went on really well and can't wait to show the computer science GCSE and A level students, but really want to see if the keyboard can be mapped first.
