  power manager - when laptop lid is closed
Posted by: graywolftheheathen - 05-29-2018, 02:11 PM - Forum: Start up and Shutdown - No Replies

Is there a way to have "When laptop lid is closed" under Plugged In be set to "Do nothing"?

Is this only a threat if you use VPN?

  Hi All
Posted by: DeepThought - 05-28-2018, 10:10 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (4)

Hi all,
Just a quick introduction. I have been a linux user for about 20 years but don't claim to be any kind of expert. I have used most distros at one time or another, even creating my own using Linux from Scratch, but that was a steep learning curve so Linux Lite dev's have my respect and sympathy Smile

I've been using Linux Lite, both 32 and 64 bit versions for a few months and I am impressed.

Anyway hope to be about and help out where I can,
DeepThought

  Ctrl and PF keys with emacs or Sublime Text
Posted by: Alain Maronani - 05-28-2018, 07:56 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (1)

I am running 2 separate system. One with ubuntu 18.04 lts using emacs 25.3 (and 24.3) and sublime text (registered copy) 3175. The other one Linux lite (most current release)  I can use a combination of keys such as;

For emacs Ctrl-f12 is mapped to ido-switch-buffer-other-frame (opening a buffer on a separate emacs frame).
For emacs Alt-f12 is mapped to ido-switch-buffer-in-another-window (opening a buffer on a separate emacs window)
For sublime text Ctrl-f4 is mapped to to the function close windows (standard key mapping for sublime-text).

With linux lite nothing works. Ctrl-f12 is not linked to a global keyboard mapping (i did a check using dconf) and xev shows the good keys. Ctrl-f4 for sublime-text is not linked to a global keyboard mapping

emacs version are the same, sublime-text version are the same. plugins and emacs packages are the same, configuration are identical.

I a word combination of ctrl key (or Alt) and a function key not mapped globally are not transmitted to the running application (in scope). ctrl-f4 in sublime-text does nothing and emacs mapping such as Ctrl-f12  also. I have other emacs function (browsing emacs buffers) using Ctrl-f7 and Ctrl-f8 and they too are not working also (no response form keyboard pressing).

Linux lite is using gtk-2 and ubuntu gtk-3. Any idea somebody ?

  Setting SeaBIOS as default on chromebook
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 05-28-2018, 11:47 AM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - No Replies

I’m hoping someone can guide me here or in the least has an opinion based on more experience than me!

Per my post about the HP chromebook battery draining and reverting to the original OS (which had been wiped when I loaded LL) I am now back up and running LL on this chromebook as previously.

I am now going to attempt to set SeaBIOS as default so as to avoid this same issue in future.  I have two references that I will use as guides, however my question is do I need to “re-enable the hardware write protection” (replace the screw)? Essentially are there any concerning consequences of doing this or not doing this?

It discusses the steps in the section “setting SeaBIOS as default”:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chr...by_default

In this second article where the fellow has logged exactly what he did to his chromebook it doesn’t appear that he replaced the screw (see section “Enabling SeaBIOS”):
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chr...by_default

So, do I re-enable or not..?

  clicking help menu opens up brackets text editor

I installed brackets text editor yesterday.  Now when I open help menu it opens the last file I was editing in brackets.  I downloaded it here: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/11/install-b...-open.html

I'm very new to linux so I appreciate any suggestions to fix this.

  Libreoffice fading menus
Posted by: robinc - 05-27-2018, 09:44 AM - Forum: Installing Software - No Replies

Using LL 3.6 or 3.8.

If I use any style other than Arc then I get problems with text in the Menu Bar and Menus in Libreoffice fading and staying faded. They work, but don't look right. The condition remains until LO is re-started.

I have tried adding xfce gtk2 and gtk3 support, no difference. I normally use Clearlooks-Phenix style and Wallis window manager and I have only come across this issue in LL with Arc style.

Using the same version in stock Xubuntu 16.04.4 no problems.

Anyone got any ideas please????

  ASUS Strix Soar 7.1 PCI-e Soundcard
Posted by: ptyerman - 05-26-2018, 06:53 AM - Forum: Sound - No Replies

A confirmation for anyone considering one of these cards is they work in Linux Lite.
Just bought one to replace my Auzentech Forte 7.1 and it works flawlessly in Linux Lite with full analogue direct out, (tested with 5.1) and with sp/dif optical out.
Also if you're a audiophile like me I can confirm the sound is outstanding.
One thing you may be puzzled by is if you do a lspci in terminal it will show up as a Asmedia USB 3 controller, I believe it uses the USB protocol to communicate with the onboard DAC so presents itself as a USB device. The Pulse Audio mixer correctly identifies it as a Strix soundcard though so all's good!
