I have recently installed Linux Lite and since doing so my laptop is crashing and I cannot print anything because my printer is not being recognised by Linux Lite.

So this has been my issue for quite some time. I have not really put it in here because I have been waiting for someone else to maybe have the same problem. Alas no one seems to have this issue. What is happening is that my time is losing time as the computer is on. in one week it will be off by an hour and I have to reboot. Problem is that when I do this it does not always reboot, and I have to do some other things to get it to boot up into ubuntu 12.04 then it goes ahead and finishes its boot up. Aside from that when it does boot up the time is reset. Yes I know that I can do this through the terminal and I have been doing that of late, but it is getting annoying that I constantly have to manually update and reset the time.

My specs are as follows:
-Computer-
Processor : 2x Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.80GHz
Memory : 1802MB (893MB used)
Operating System : Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

-Printers (CUPS)-

What is the resolution to this problem? I also can't seem to do anything with the programs I downloaded for the ATI video cards, unsure what or why that does not work.
Any help with this will be great!...
Thanks

Hi guys,

Complete noob here so please bear with me.

I found when I installed Linux Lite 1.0.8 that I could not log in to services such as Facebook, Gmail etc. but could still generally browse the Web fine most of the time.

I Googled this issue and came across an Ubuntu forum which had a solution by pasting this into the Terminal:

Hi,
  today I have installed linux lite on a PC.
  I have booted the iso from a USB key then I have installed on SD1 which is an Hard Drive.
  Then I have started the installation program again to install it on a second USB and ... surprise.. it use SD1 as "source" device.
  I have rebooted again, booted from the first USB pen but when I ask to install the distribution it points to SD1 as source insted of the USB key I am booting from.
  In this situation if I continue installing the system hangs at the middle of process.

  Regards,
    Giuseppe Chillemi

Hello, All!

I finally got around to adding LL 2.0 Beta to my HP laptop with built-in Bluetooth support. The Bluetooth headset paired OK, but had no audio, and the headset did not appear in Volume Control. Turns out that in Ubuntu 14.04 (and also some earlier versions), the module named module-bluetooth-discover isn't getting loaded to enable the Audio Sink service, which routes the audio to the Bluetooth device.

Here's a workaround. By the numbers, here's what it takes to get audio out of the Bluetooth device. Sadly, until someone cooks up a fix, THIS *MUST* be done EVERY time you pair the device, which is a real bummer.

1. Left-click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. This brings up the 'Bluetooth Devices' window.

2. Select 'Device > Connect > Headset Service'. Wait until you see "Success" at the bottom of the window.

3. Open a terminal window [CTRL-ALT-T], and type the following:

Hello
I came across this during a Web search which I found good amd feel could be helpful to other New users who are converting from Windows and want an easy guide of how Linux-Lite does the tasks you are used to . It is for Lite 1.0.2 but the basics appear to be the same .

Looking for a spot of help please.

Converted my old business xp esprimo to LL 1.0.8, connected printer via USB, perfect printing! Can even print from my eos laptop and bohdi netbook over WiFi.
BUT

Can not scan?

LL scanner app just doesn't accept the fact that there is a scanner attached?

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Hi,

On my system, Rsyslogd sometimes stops logging to files. It's random and happens maybe every other week. It doesn't coincide with any changes or updates.

I found a diagnostic that told me to run the following command:
/usr/sbin/rsyslogd -f/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf -N1

The output is:
rsyslogd: version 5.8.6, config validation run (level 1), master config /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
rsyslogd: WARNING: rsyslogd is running in compatibility mode. Automatically generated config directives may interfer with your rsyslog.conf settings. We suggest upgrading your config and adding -c5 as the first rsyslogd option.
rsyslogd: Warning: backward compatibility layer added to following directive to rsyslog.conf: ModLoad immark
rsyslogd: Warning: backward compatibility layer added to following directive to rsyslog.conf: MarkMessagePeriod 1200
rsyslogd: Warning: backward compatibility layer added to following directive to rsyslog.conf: ModLoad imuxsock
rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

So, it looks like I have to add -c5 as the first syslogd option.

The problem is, I have absolutely no idea how to do this. Can anyone help please?

I have found a nicer themed IRC client that you may want to look into. The QwebIRC client looks really dated and I thought that this might help to make IRC a little more user friendly to use. Also: No Captcha Phrase Required to Enter! Makes it easier on the visually impaired. This is Free and Open Source, fully coded and scripted in JavaScript. No Adobe Flash Used! It is called Kiwi IRC.

Their main site is here: https://kiwiirc.com/.

They also have a GitHub page if you want to look at that here: https://github.com/prawnsalad/KiwiIRC.

Lastly, here is a link I set up for you to directly connect to chat.freenode.net, port 6667, on channel #linuxlite. Nickname is left blank for user to choose.

https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode...ocommunity.

If you would like to setup another link to directly connect to a network, it is as simple as changing the URL to match the IRC server and channel.

-http://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net/channel_name-
                                          IRC Server        Channel Name
                                                                    (no # number sign prefix before the channel name)

Substitute the IRC Server (if needed) and then the "channel_name" to the respective IRC channel to directly connect to (do not put a # number sign prefix on the channel name). I added dashes in the link so that it isn't clickable. Copy and Paste the URL without the dashes and substitute the appropriate information.

That is really it! Hope this helps others get support on IRC instead of having to get support to use IRC!

Update: Since the #linuxlite IRC channel closed down recently, I updated the link to instead connect to the #linuxdistrocommunity.

The built-in speakers on my laptop seem to have stopped working since i installed Linux Lite 1.0.8. S i've posted the sound portion from a system report. Hope this helps.
