Hello all,

I am very much still a beginner in the Linux world although I have played with it in the past. I've got LL installed on an HP Compaq 6910p laptop and I am having a couple of snags.  I will post them here but I know it's not the correct place so where should I post them?

Firstly when I go to Youtube or Google Inbox the browser (Google Chrome) will freeze and then soon after the screen will go blank/turn off. 
When the computer screen comes back on from being left I am unable to type in any windows open.  For example, if Chrome is open I have to shut it down and reopen it in order to type in a URL. 
There are problems going into hibernation.

I've updated the Intel graphics drivers using the software found at https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2...inux-1.0.7

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
JukeUK

As we all know, or at least have heard about, the mass surveillance by the NSA going on in the United States, and possibly tracking users in other countries. The NSA operates and depends on Executive Order #12333 in the United States.

Quote:The NSA relies on Executive Order 12333 to engage in mass surveillance of people around the world. But most people have never even heard of this presidential order. It’s time to respect the privacy rights of innocent people, regardless of their nationality. Tell Obama: amend Executive Order 12333 to prohibit mass surveillance.

Quote:Executive orders are legally binding orders given by the President of the United States which direct how government agencies should operate. Executive Order 12333 covers "most of what the NSA does" and is "the primary authority under which the country’s intelligence agencies conduct the majority of their operations."1 So while the U.S. Congress is considering bills to curtail mass telephone surveillance, the NSA’s primary surveillance authority will be left unchallenged.

It’s time to change that.

Found this when fooling around the net months ago .

Find it interesting . From an XPad commands reminders I did in Terminal ; .

apt-fast ppa ;

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppaaiarcot895/myppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install apt-fast

Most of my personal favorites revolve around unrestricted access to knowledge. I'll kick of this thread with this one.

Is it possible to install LL 2.2 on this computer. I refer to the display resolution is only 1024 x 600 And in the official guide says 1024X768

The following is a tentative release schedule for Linux Lite as listed here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/code.html#roadmap

Starting with Linux Lite 3.0 I'd like to remove the numbering from releases. I don't think Linux Lite 7.4 sounds particularly appealing. The codenames for release builds are named after gemstones in alphabetical order - to date we've had Amethyst (1.0 series) and Beryl (2.0 series). The third major release (based on Ubuntu 16.04LTS) will be named: Linux Lite Citrine. I'd welcome suggestions on how we can distinguish between each release build for the Citrine series, so it will read like the following: Linux Lite Citrine xxx, xxx representing the tack-on name.

Linux Lite 2.0 'Beryl' Release - 1st June, 2014

Linux Lite 2.2 Release - 1st December, 2014

Linux Lite 2.4 Release - 1st April, 2015

Linux Lite 2.6 Release - 1st September, 2015

Linux Lite 2.8 Release - 1st February, 2016 (End of Support April 2019)

Linux Lite 3.0 'Citrine' Release - 1st June 2016

Linux Lite 3.2 Release - 1st November 2016

Linux Lite 3.4 Release - 1st April 2017

Linux Lite 3.6 Release - 1st September 2017

Linux Lite 3.8 Release - 1st February 2018 (End of Support April 2021)

Linux Lite 4.0 'Diamond' Release - 1st June 2018

Linux Lite 4.2 Release - 1st November 2018

Linux Lite 4.4 Release - 1st April 2019

Linux Lite 4.6 Release - 1st September 2019

Linux Lite 4.8 Release - 1st February 2020 (End of Support April 2023)

I have to say that I love Linux Lite....I loaded it on my PC earlier this year with a dual boot with W7 and almost always go directly to LL. It's faster and so much nicer to use.


Now the problem...I have been trying for months to upgrade from 1.06 to the latest with no luck. I am not that computer savvy, so getting it on in the first place was a challenge. Also, when I did an update several months ago, it updated me to 1.08 and now nothing works right. The software Install/uninstall program no longer works, I get an error message and even Chrome that was working fine, is now telling me it's out of date. I have read other posts on here about how to do it and it is just too overwhelming to back up my whole computer, format the space where LL is and attempt a re-load.


I feel like if I could just get it up to date to the latest it would fix everything....at this point, I'm ready to go back to W7 (which I need for some certain softwares i use), but don't want to give up this great SW! If I didn't need W7 for some things I use (Itunes, Garmin, etc.), I'd just overwrite the computer with all LL...but I'm really concerned ab[size=1em]out doing that.[/size] :-\


Any shortcuts to do this that anyone has found?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm new to Linux Lite and so far, satisfied with it! A little suggestion. Just if the coloring of terminal emulator and grub was in harmony with the white and gray atmosphere of the distro...

Happy New Year everyone !

Have a great 2015 .
