  No Internet connection at all
Posted by: sal - 12-02-2015, 10:46 AM - Forum: Network - Replies (4)

I am new to this system, as I had just installed yesterday Linux Lite2.2 32bit; and today upgraded it to the latest version(2.6). The problem I have , with both versions, is that whenever  I click on Firefox, chrome or help, the  computer gets frozen and paralyzed completely; however, the wire internet connection is on. I had to restart over and over again for so many  times (during these days) in vain.  Before sending my comment, I searched y'r site and also  googled  and    nothing there. The OS is installed on a separate HD, with Windows 7 starter  on the other one. Desperately asking for help, appreciating any  input to the effect.

Thanks a lot

  Can I preserve /home installing LL over another XFCE distro (Manjaro)?
Posted by: n1ksn - 11-30-2015, 11:33 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

I'm very happy with LL 2.6 on my notebook computer.  I'm thinking of installing LL on my Dell Latitude D6410 which currently dual boots with Win 7 and Manjaro.  My Manjaro install has separate partitions for / and /home and uses the xfce desktop but a more recent kernal than LL.

If I install LL over Manjaro I'm thinking of formating the root partition, but not /home.  This would preserve my work data, music files, and application program configuration files (mostly hidden), but there is a potential confilict with hidden system and desktop configuration files.  I'd much rather take this approach and then tidy up any resulting weirdness on the desktop, but I don't want to screw up critical system functions, either.  (And if there are a few stray config files lying about that are harmless, I can live with it.)

I know a totally clean install is the safest, but I wonder how risky my plan is.  Thanks for any insight or advice you might have.

Cheers,
Andy N1KSN

  Advice ! --- Windows 10 and LL Dual-boot or VM
Posted by: Colin23erk - 11-29-2015, 07:30 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (2)

Hi all
I have bought a HP Splash netbook with Win10 pre-installed. It has only a 32Gb which I will only use for my OSs with a 32 Gb fast Sd card for my Data . How things have changed . On win95 the PC only had something like a 6.5 Gb hard drive .


LL is my preferred OS but  I find there are certain times that I find I have to use Windows for some tasks . On my old machines I have LL dual booted with Win 7 . Plus LL with XP .


I would be happy to use XP  offline as my other OS as I have used that more than Win7 .Unfortunately the Windows licences are all OEM versions and so I cannot transfer them to a different PC .


I am looking to hear if anyone has had a good experience running LL with Win 10 on a Virtual Machine  or would the advise me to  Dual Boot with Win 10 on a UEFI bios Netbook .

  5.1 Audio from On Board sound card
Posted by: Reiker - 11-29-2015, 05:26 PM - Forum: Sound - Replies (1)

I am hoping you can help me with a bug I have with my new computer.
It is a gigabyte ga-z68ma-d2h-b3 MB and the problem is how to set the audio so I get the full 5.1 sound. At the moment I am only getting audio from the front speakers when I do a test "speaker-test -DplugConfusedurround51 -c6 -l1 -twav" .
Do I have to change the settings somewhere?, as the mb is I have to use the mic and Line in plugs at the back, which I have done, but don't appear to be getting the surround sound from them, Hopefully you can give me the answer I am trying to find, so far in vain, Thanks in advance.

  Printer won't print coupon barcodes CANON MG5350
Posted by: Zead - 11-29-2015, 03:16 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (5)

Hi, My printer is CANON MG5350, and I'm trying to print coupons, but it won't print the barcode on it for some reason, looks like some protection.

I've looked online and other people had problems with their Windows and MAC computers also.
Some people recommended to use Adobe Acrobat.

I use official printer drivers.

What should I do?

First time they were half printed, but then the printer stopped printing the barcodes completely.

Oh and the file format is PDF
