I finally decided that the solution to my growing list of problems was to upgrade, and have done a new and clean install of LL 2.4 on my laptop.

My first problem is that Dropbox is not working, for reasons I haven't experienced before. Nothing seems to be happening and I keep getting an 'authentication is needed to run /usr/bin/dropbox' as the super user message, a step I have never seen before and also appeared the first time I ran Skype on the new install. I hope this is something that won't have to be done every run-time, but for Dropbox, nothing satisfies it - my authentication just causes the error message to reappear some seconds later.

Is something misconfigured or wrong with the new install?

I have installed MP3gain using Synaptic from the repository -
It appears to be loaded but I cannot find it in the menu -
If I type MP3gain in the Menu search I get an option to" Run MP3gain" but nothing happens .


Am I missing something

So I think this is the fifth time i reinstalled LL 2.4 trying to solve my issue. 

I have an Intel HDA ALC268 sound card on a Toshiba Satellite p200. On any Ubuntu/Debian based distro (LL included) I installed, the headphones won't work, while the speakers work just fine. I searched forums, documentation, installed the realtek linux driver, tried all that alsamixer - pulseaudio advice, on this last LL 2.4 fresh install I even installed the 3.15 kernel from here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...te-kernel/ .

Nothing, headphones don't work. I'm out of options. I was planning on making LL 2.4 my base OS, instead of Windows, but because of this issue I've delayed that.

I tried both Caffeine and Caffeine-Plus.
Neither of them works in LL.

Is there an equivalent program that functions as intended?

Thanks!

I do have "center" selected in window manager tweaks under placement.

Do I need to do anything else?

Thanks

I have a question about  monitoring internet activity, while using LL2.4

I would like  to introduce Linux Lite to the younger members of our family  though, before doing so, wish to have some kind of parental controls in place, similar to the ones I've already set up in Win7 using 'Windows Live Family Safety'. 

Is there a linux equivalent  that can monitor your child's internet usage, i.e. track URL's visited ?

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

The proprietary option in Driver Manager is 331.113.
Nvidia says the latest driver for linux is 346.59 or 346.72.

I prefer 346.59.

Is there an easy way to upgrade to 346.59?

Thanks!

Hi I 'm new and I want to know How could I install LL in a computer with 2 hdd?, I mean, How should be the partitions? Both hard drives have the same features.  I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hi group,

I have been successfully upgrading a number of machine from LL 2.2 to 2.4 with the instructions in the new release announcement. My daughter's computer was one such machine that appeared to upgrade fine. However, when I try to run "Install Updates", it errors out with "couldn't fetch the package cache information lists."

Any ideas how to fix this and get it back to updating correctly?

Thanks

Linux Lite now packages and offers the Tor Web Browser for both 32bit and 64bit.
