I downloaded a driver from Alfa in regards to my new AWUS036AC wireless usb. It is a linux driver and since I am so new at this linux os there are many things I need to learn.  ;D I opened it and had no idea where to extract it to. I looked at some of the "read me" files and it looked like I had to enter the info into a terminal. I am not sure about that. I have a Toshiba laptop with intel i-3 processor and HD 4000 graphic hardware. I am not sure about what to do to get this usb wireless to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

:'( :'(Is there any way a user can pick and choose the software updates available at any time? Some systems have little boxes

next to each update label and update purpose. In other words, let the user decide whether he or she wants any particular

update. As for LinuxLite, is this a possibility at all??

I'm not sure if everyone knows this or not, but I recently learned that [tt]apt[/tt] can do just about everything that [tt]apt-get[/tt] can do and with a bit more style.

Quote:Basic commands:
list - list packages based on package names
search - search in package descriptions
show - show package details

update - update list of available packages

install - install packages
remove  - remove packages

upgrade - upgrade the system by installing/upgrading packages
full-upgrade - upgrade the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages

edit-sources - edit the source information file

The screen brightness appears to be fixed (at maximum level) on the Asus G750JS with LL2.4.  I would like to be able to adjust the brightness, e.g. dim it.
The fn key + f5 or with f6 doesn't appear to work, neither does fn + arrow keys.

Any help on this one much appreciated.

Regards
Mike

I installed LL2.4 as a UEFI enabled dual boot system with Windows 8.1.  I have two physical drives.
LL was installed as root with Win8.1 on SSD drive 1.  Data files are shared between both OSes,
using symlinking to SSD drive 2.

I would now like to transfer 'home' from root and install it as a separate /home partition to
unallocated space on the SSD drive 1.  The reason I want to do this is so that the configuration files
in a separate /home partition preserve my settings, rather than these being wiped out each time
I replace LL2.4 with new LL releases.

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

hi,
I have installed linux lite 2.4 on my asus laptop,  installation process went fine, and i installed wifi driver from "install driver " icon, problem started when i restarted my laptop, first, it didn’t shut down, instead it showed the screen showing default picture of linux lite, and a progress at on the bottom, i waited for 30 Min for the progress  bar to complete, then also nothing happened, after waiting for another  30 min, I forced shut down my laptop, then on rebooting, again everything went all right, now, it didn’t showed wifi,  then i performed updates, now i installed the wifi driver  ( i.e.broadcom......e.t.c.  ) now again my wifi started working, now when i shut down my system again it didn’t shut down, it showed the same default picture with a progress bar, so i force my system to shut down,
this time when i rebooted , it booted and then every thing went blank, nothing happened.

i reinstalled ll again and again, every time it showed the same result,


where i went wrong ? what’s the problem ?

i downloaded is0 file from official linux lite website, using torrent client .(qb torrent)

pls help . i am really frustrated.

Hi all. Was wondering if there is a way to get finer control of the volume. I think the steps are 5db each if I recall, maybe like 2.5 would be helpful. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks ahead of time.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to install the Huawei 3G modem drivers for Linux on LL2.4 but have encountered a few problems:
1: If I follow the instruction doc that comes with the drivers, It tells me to go to root, and initialise or open a SuperUser command. That asks me for a password, which I have tried using my password for but it does not accept it. Is there a default SU password, and if so what is it? Alternately, How do I set up a Super User password?
2: I have a Huawei E1750 3G usb modem. Is there another way to install this from the windows software on the modem, maybe using Wine? or do I have to install the linux drivers as I found on the Net?
3: My last question has nothing to do with the above issue, but rather has to do with software availability for Linux. Where can I find a good free schematic drawing and PCB layout program for Linux, or does such a beast not exist?

Best Regards
V.

I installed the 64bit version of LL as Draftsight no longer supports 32 bit.  However, the mouse does not move on the CAD screen properly - it seems to lag to the extent that it's unusable.  This may just be a problem with Draftsight but if there is anything I can do in Linux Lite I'd appreciate it.  I'm using a Lenovo X-130e laptop with a Logitech mouse.  Thanks.

In order to yet improve Linux Lite support services,
a reasonable time frame should be stated for how long users have to respond to dev's questions.
Considering how well documented Linux Lite has become, forum guidelines can reach this high standard.
Users are also unpaid and are here in good faith and should be given a reasonable amount of time to respond.
Let's work to make Linux Lite  a better user / supporter experience by avoiding management mistakes of other distros.
Thank you.
