  FSLint Version 2.44 via Synaptic - Deleteing duplicate files problem
Posted by: newtusmaximus - 09-25-2015, 10:56 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (1)

Downloaded latest FSLINT via synaptic = version 2.44. Identifies duplicates on ancillary usb hard drive but fails to delete.  Reinstalled - Same problem with same files. 
Deleted fully via synaptic  and downloaded older *.deb version V2.40 from FSLINT website, installed and this version runs OK.

Any ideas why?

  Newbie to linux Lite 2.6
Posted by: Kilpatrickap - 09-25-2015, 07:20 PM - Forum: Introductions - Replies (10)

hi all,

I am very happy to join the team. I am a complete newbie to linux and I am emotionally attached to Linux Lite 2.6 because the distro was released on an important day to me. I have decided to forever remain with linux.

I have been on the Lite for less than a week and so far so good, I am impressed by the simplicity of LL.

I could use some help from fellow Linux users.

Cheers,

Kilpatrick

  Unbuntu Update NOT Installing in Software Updates

:o  I have Ubuntu 14.04, I need 14:10,  Software Update informs me that 15.04 is available but it will not install.  I cleared all the items on the update page, the update program came up but then could not install.  Also I am having issues installing updates on a daily basis.  What can be done to fix this issue? Thanks!

  Can't play some HTML5 videos, while my second Ubuntu machine can.
Posted by: Zead - 09-25-2015, 10:31 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (1)

Video format or MIME type is not supported.

Restricted Extras are installed. It works on Ubuntu, but doesn't on this Linux Lite machine.

Browsers are both Firefox. Many HTML5 videos work (like YouTube etc...), but some don't.

EDIT: Nevermind... It seems Privacy Badger is the problem.

  Window border width
Posted by: eikelein - 09-25-2015, 04:22 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

:-\
Hi from a newbie - here and to LL and to Linux in general.
I have searched here and googel'd for a way to make the borders of any and all windows wider; the dafault width makes resizing very difficult.
Certainly this has been answered before but I am too limited to find the answer.
Any helpful pointer will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

  How to expand YouTube to fullscreen minus the Panel
Posted by: torreydale - 09-25-2015, 01:41 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (6)

I have my Panel in the default location (on the bottom of the screen).  When I open a YouTube video to full screen, is there a way to have the full screen area to be everything but the Panel?

  RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter Issues -- Information+Fix
Posted by: Wirezfree - 09-24-2015, 09:29 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (3)

This is for information. (mods, if in wrong place, you can move it)


I was having an issue with 2X RTL8723BE WiFi devices,
Intermittent loss of connections/slowness after a few hours after boot. (they where cheap @ $7.00/£5.00)
Device info:

Code:
dave@jetway0:~$ lspci | grep 8723
03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter


After research it appears it was added in Kernel 3.16, given I have 3.13 and is working fine, I looked for an alternative.
I found the following in a number of references, and after 5.0 days no more drop-outs or slowness occured.



First Install Driver:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
reboot



Then:
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
and then add:
Code:
#To "disable" certain power saving features which can cause dropouts
options rtl8723be fwlps=0 ips=0


Important reminder, If you update kernel to less <3.16 , you will need to re-compile.
Code:
cd rtlwifi_new
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8723be



"NOTE: This code will build on any kernel 3.0 and newer. It includes the following drivers"
rtl8192ce, rtl8192se, rtl8192de, rtl8188ee, rtl8192ee, rtl8723ae, rtl8723be, and rtl8821ae

  Live Install Option
Posted by: Japdum - 09-24-2015, 08:48 PM - Forum: Installing Linux Lite - Replies (5)

Hello Everybody, Does anyone knows if there is way to install LL but without trying, I mean, a poor installation, I want to insert my usb and start the installation. Is that possible? How can I do that? Thanks.
